16 Blocks (2006)

105 mins     Action , Crime, Thriller      

"16 Blocks" is unsurprisingly a pretty stereotypical action flick starring Bruce Willis in a similar role to the sort which has dominated his Hollywood career. I can see the sales pitch now producer: "Bruce we have a great ro...

300 (2006)

117 mins     Action , Fantasy      

To fully appreciate and probably love "300" I am pretty sure you will need to have not only read Frank Miller's graphic novel which it is based upon but enjoyed it. I've not read Miller's novel and so watched "300" with a fre...

95 mins     Horror, Thriller      

I could start this review by mentioning "The Craft" because even before watching "5ive Girls" you are reminded of it due to these school girls with special powers. But unlike "The Craft" "5ive Girls" fails to spend time estab...

Here in the UK I would guess the name Gwen Araujo means a lot less than it does in America especially in Newark, California, it is a name I had never heard of before choosing to watch "A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story". ...

A Good Year (2006)

118 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

I really wasn't sure what to expect from the comedy/drama "A Good Year" as not only did it have Ridley Scott as director, a man who has made such visual spectaculars as "Gladiator", but also it stars Russell Crowe who is bett...

A Merry Little Christmas (2006)

82 mins     Comedy, Family      

I am going to keep this short, don't bother with "A Merry Little Christmas" or "The Town that Cancelled Christmas" as it is packaged here in the UK or "The Town that Banned Christmas" as it is also known as it is utterly terr...

Accepted (2006)

90 mins     Comedy      

I'd never heard of "Accepted" before spotting it on the TV schedule and when I read it was about college kids I thought the reason I had never heard of it must be because it is another generic college movie with teens acting ...

The Accidental Witness (2006)

90 mins     Thriller, TV Movie      

The Accidental Witness: Natasha Gregson Wagner stars as Christine, a witness to a murder who becomes the target of a desperate man (Currie Graham) in over his head...

Adrift (2006)

95 mins     Drama, Thriller      

Now my expectations of "Adrift" were not that high prior to watching because the write up I read made it sound like a cliche horror where a prank backfires during a weekend where a group of friends have fun aboard a yacht. It...

Akeelah and the Bee (2006)

112 mins     Drama, Family      

I would be lying if I didn't say that "Akeelah and the Bee" was entertaining, writer/director Doug Atchison has crafted a movie which is beautiful, engaging, emotional and inspirational, everything I am sure he set out to do....

All She Wants for Christmas (2006)

91 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance, TV Movie      

Okay so as I said "All She Wants for Christmas" is not a great Christmas movie, it is quite a corny Christmas movie but it has one thing going for it, economics. Yes you did read that right, I said economics because this is a...
