Movies starring Ciaran Hinds

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989)

124 mins Crime, Drama

Rarely has a movie started and left me with my jaw so firmly dropped that I couldn't stop watching because of what is simply gross excess which makes you redefine your meaning of the words gross and excess. To attempt to expl...

Mary Reilly (1996)

108 mins Drama, Horror, Romance

An alternative title for "Mary Reilly" could easily be "There's not something about Mary" as sadly this is a movie which for most of the time is as dull as watching magnolia paint dry. Now maybe the issue is one more of expec...

Titanic Town: Julie Walters stars as Bernie McPhelimy, a house wife who decides to make a stand against the troubles in Northern Ireland...

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003)

117 mins Action , Adventure , Fantasy

In my review of "Lara Croft Tomb Raider" I said "it is like watching someone else play the video game, we get the enjoyment of seeing a sexy action hero jump around a lot but there is no involvement". When it comes to the seq...

Munich (2005)

164 mins Drama, Thriller

I was born in the October of 1972 and as such I knew nothing of what happened at the Munich Olympics that year, in fact because of the poor history curriculum of British schools during the 80s I only became aware of what happ...

Miami Vice (2006)

134 mins Action , Crime, Drama

Michael Mann may have been executive producer on the 1980s TV show but what he brings to the big screen remake of "Miami Vice" has little to do with the once popular TV show. Other than the names of Crockett and Tubbs and a c...

The Nativity Story (2006)

Movie Review - The Nativity Story (2006) Keisha Castle-Hughes and Oscar Isaac star as Mary & Joseph in this dramatisation of the birth of Jesus, as Herod (Ciar�n Hinds) fearing the prophecy has some true orders the slaughter...

There Will Be Blood (2007)

158 mins Drama, Thriller

I'm not surprised that "There Will Be Blood" won 2 Oscars; I am surprised it didn't win more despite being nominated several times. There is no other way to put it "There Will Be Blood" is truly a magnificent movie, engaging,...

Margot at the Wedding (2007)

93 mins Comedy, Drama

Do you enjoy watching movies where not only the dialogue dominates the movie but dialogue where it is either insanely dull or insanely bitchy? I don't, these sorts of movies where the dialogue is uninteresting are a real swit...

Race to Witch Mountain (2009)

98 mins Action , Adventure , Family

Oh to be a child again when my biggest concern was how many days there were till Christmas and when mindless entertainment involving children, adventure and special effects would be more than enough to keep me transfixed to t...

The Debt (2010)

113 mins Drama, Thriller

That synopsis simplifies "The Debt" in many ways none more so by telling you what happens in a linear manner which is not what you get from the movie itself. By that I mean we are presented with a story which switches between...

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011)

96 mins Action , Fantasy, Thriller

As I sat there watching "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" I tried to remember "Ghost Rider" and frankly struggled to remember any of it other than Cage with some bad looking hair. I kind of remember being disappointed by it ...

The Woman in Black (2012)

95 mins Drama, Horror, Thriller

"The Woman in Black" has a fantastic look be it the period detailing of the streets of the town to the elegance of a train carriage through to the creepiness of the fog engulfed house surrounded by water, it is all great. My ...

John Carter (2012)

132 mins Action , Adventure , Fantasy

So many reviews I have read have mentioned that "John Carter" is based on an Edgar Rice Burroughs story and many of those reviews mention how the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs have inspired many moves over the years from "Sta...

Frozen (2013)
