The Firm (1993)

154 mins     Drama, Thriller      

"The Firm" is the sort of movie which will annoy some audiences because as an adaptation of John Grisham's novel it's not great. Grisham's novel was exciting, clever and sucked you in that you never wanted to put it down. But...

Stepmom (1998)

124 mins     Drama      

I've heard some critics and reviewers describe "Stepmom" as a good old fashioned tear jerker, well either I am missing something or just very cold hearted. Yes at times "Stepmom" is emotional, but never to the extent that it ...

The Truman Show (1998)

112 mins     Comedy, Drama, Fantasy      

I'll be honest; I really disliked "The Truman Show" when it was released in 1998, maybe because it wasn't like anything else that Jim Carrey had done before or maybe because I just didn't get it. But a few years later and hav...

Lost in Space (1998)

130 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi

106 mins     Drama, Romance, Thriller      

If you've not read anything about "The Human Stain" or read Philip Roth's novel from which it is adapted I urge you to stop reading, buy or rent "The Human Stain" and watch it. I'm not saying that because this is the greatest...

Radio (2003)

109 mins     Biography, Drama, Sport      

For those who don't do sentimental movies about the good side of human nature had better walk away as I guarantee "Radio" will not be for you. This is a movie all about a good guy, a coach with his heart in the right place wh...

The Other Boleyn Girl (2003)

90 mins     Drama, Thriller
