It's strange to think that when "The Shawshank Redemption" was released back in September 1994 it was only a moderate hit, yet now it is classed as a classic which features in countless top movie lists and has since gone on t...

The Courage to Love (2000)

95 mins     Drama, Romance, TV Movie

Keep Your Distance (2005)

94 mins     Drama, Mystery, Romance      

I really don't like writing long synopses; I always prefer to give just a gist of what a movie is about so that I don't spoil it for the audience. But when it comes to "Keep Your Distance" I had no choice but to give more det...

The Weather Man (2006)

102 mins     Comedy, Drama      

"The Weather Man" is a mood movie and trust me if you're not in the right mood you're not going to enjoy this movie. You see "The Weather Man" is a dark comedy, a scathing look at life, in particular the life of one man who w...

Goblin (2010)

Trading Christmas (2011)

90 mins     Comedy, Romance, TV Movie      

If I tell you "Trading Christmas" is a made for TV movie about two people who swap homes for Christmas you will probably say that makes it a copy of "The Holiday". Well you would be only partly right because it takes the idea...

House at the End of the Street (2012)

And the nominations for best supporting performances go to the pair of jeans and the vest tops which Jennifer Lawrence wears through out "House at the End of the Street". Sorry if that sounds sexist but it is one of the thing...

Extraterrestrial (2014)

101 mins     Horror, Sci-Fi      

There are some movies I watch with no expectations, others for some reason I think will be bad and some which I think will be good. For no reason what so ever I had strange hopes for "Extraterrestrial" as between some clips I...

The Calling (2014)

Whilst I adore movies as much as I always have I don't have my finger on the pulse of what is getting made like I once did and prefer stumbling across movies at random rather than watching only the latest movies. As such when...
