No Escape (1994)

118 mins     Action , Drama, Sci-Fi      

I first watched "No Escape" a few years after it came out and enjoyed it and to my surprise probably 15 years after I first watched it I still enjoyed it when I caught it again recently. But I would be lying if I said that "N...

"The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain" is a silly title for a movie, but then it is a silly but highly enjoyable movie and it is enjoyable because it is one of those fun British movies set in a quirky vi...

A Christmas Carol (1999)

Around the World in 80 Days (2004)

120 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy

Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger! (2012)

105 mins     Comedy      

Oh dear, this could be one of the shortest reviews I have ever written as sadly "Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger!" is not good. Unfortunately this sequel becomes the Marc Wootton show with him going over the top in the daft ...
