Movies starring James Cosmo

Highlander (1986)

116 mins     Action , Fantasy      

"Highlander" is a curious movie, well any movie that has a Scot playing an Egyptian and a Frenchman playing a Scot has got to go down in anyone's book as being curious. But it is curious for more than just this casting, it's ...

Braveheart (1995)

177 mins     Action , Drama      

I really like "Braveheart" it is what I call a true epic for the simple fact it is shot on location, has lots of extras, big battles, stunts, some romance and great characters. What it doesn't have is that feel of being synth...

Babe: Pig in the City (1998)

97 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Drama      

I enjoyed "Babe" when it came out in the mid 90s but I wasn't a major fan and that may be of importance as I wonder whether if I had been a huge fan I would have enjoyed the sequel "Babe: Pig in the City" more. Oh there are s...

One More Kiss (1999)

97 mins     Drama, Romance      

Released back in 1999 "One More Kiss" starring Valerie Edmond and Gerard Butler, is one of those nothing British movies. Calling it nothing may sound harsh but it is a movie which never really goes anywhere and delivers nothi...

The Four Feathers (2002)

132 mins     Adventure , Drama, Romance      

So first things first this 2002 version of "The Four Feathers" is not a remake of the 1939 version directed by Zoltan Korda or any of the other versions which have come in between. Nope this is a new take on A.E.W. Mason's st...

Once Upon a Time in the Midlands (2002)

104 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

If you are British and enjoy modern working class comedies which feature embellished caricatures you must watch Shane Meadows' simply brilliant "Once Upon a Time in the Midlands". This movie is hysterical from start to finish...

Greyfriars Bobby (2005)

104 mins     Adventure , Family      

The story of "Greyfriars Bobby" is in fact a very simple one as it is all about the loyalty and dedication of a dog to his master even after the master died. That is in truth it but it is none the less a charming and touching...

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)

143 mins     Adventure , Family, Fantasy      

Watching movies has given me a super power, the power of foresight as far too often I can tell if a movie will entertain me before I have sat down to watch or read a review. Of course I am joking but before I sat down to watc...

The Santa Incident: James Cosmo stars as Santa who is shot out of the sky by a fighter jet and now has issues as no one believes who he is when two kids find him...

Donkeys (2010)

78 mins     Comedy, Drama      

Evidently "Donkeys" is the middle movie of a trilogy of sorts, something to do with a concept called Advance Party filmmaking where 3 movies use the same characters but in different stories. No offence to Morag McKinnon but I...

The Christmas Candle (2013)

100 mins     Drama      

The Christmas Candle: a long held tradition surrounding a blessed candle comes under threat not just by the arrival of electricity but because of a new reverend...

Justin and the Knights of Valour (2013)

90 mins     Adventure , Animation, Family      

I can't believe it's not Disney or Dreamworks or what ever studio it is now who does all the animations. That was the thought which kept running through my mind as I watched "Justin and the Knights of Valour". Whilst that is ...

Estranged (2015)

101 mins     Thriller      

Do you find horror movies which slowly build up the storyline as tense and exciting or do you find their slow nature causing a sense of over whelming tedium. If you are in the second group then I suggest that "Estranged" is n...
