Movies starring Brittany Murphy

Clueless (1995)

97 mins     Comedy, Romance      

Regular readers of my movie reviews will know I am not the biggest book worm and when I do read it tends not to be classic literature, so you can guess what is coming, I've never read Jane Austen's "Emma" the story which writ...

Girl, Interrupted (1999)

127 mins     Biography, Drama      

Whilst set in a psychiatric hospital it would be wrong to compare "Girl, Interrupted" to the likes of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", as they are two vastly different movies. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was about big...

Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999)

97 mins     Comedy      

What leads you to watch a movie is it that the storyline appealed, you like the director's previous movie or the stars are some of your favourites. Unfortunately if you watch "Drop Dead Gorgeous" purely for who is in it you a...

The Devil's Arithmetic (1999)

95 mins     Drama, Fantasy, TV Movie, War      

"The Devil's Arithmetic" is another movie which attempts to portray the horrors of the holocaust but in a different way to most with an element of time travel. That may sound wrong but it works because it brings to the fore a...

Riding in Cars With Boys (2001)

132 mins     Biography, Comedy, Drama      

Released in 2001 and starring Drew Barrymore in what for me is one of her finest performances, "Riding in Cars With Boys" is a wonderful drama about the turbulent life of a young girl during the 50s which doesn't turn out lik...

Sidewalks of New York (2001)

108 mins     Comedy, Romance      

I really wanted to like "Sidewalks of New York", no I really wanted to enjoy it with it's storyline of 6 people living in Manhattan through various matters of romance interlink. It's the sort of thing I enjoy as connections f...

Don't Say a Word (2001)

113 mins     Crime, Thriller      

I could start this review of "Don't Say a Word" by mentioning the Mel Gibson movie "Ransom" where his son was kidnapped, but then again I could mention one of over a hundred movies where we have a kidnapped child and a parent...

8 Mile (2002)

115 mins     Drama, Musical      

Not being a fan of Eminem's music, watching "8 Mile" was never at the top of my list of things to do, but under pressure I found myself watching it and expected another mediocre performance from a singer who thinks they can a...

Just Married (2003)

95 mins     Comedy, Romance

Happy Feet (2006)

108 mins     Animation, Comedy, Family      

As a movie reviewer I have a rating system and when I rate something a 6 it means that I enjoyed it, it was for the most well made but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it again. That is how I feel about "Happy Feet" as wh...

Tribute (2009)

My introduction to the stories of Nora Roberts' came via "Angels Fall" a TV movie which whilst very typical of a TV movie was pleasantly entertaining. So when I spotted "Tribute" another TV adaptation from a Nora Roberts' sto...
