Movies starring Jesse Eisenberg

The Village (2004)

108 mins     Drama, Mystery, Thriller      

For me "The Village" is a one watch wonder because its effectiveness comes from a twist and once you know that twist the movie is not so good. But whilst M. Night Shyamalan did this with "The Sixth Sense" he made that a thril...

Cursed (2005)

97 mins     Comedy, Horror      

After watching "Cursed" I was surprised by how much negativity there was surrounding the movie because in truth I found it entertaining. That trouble seems to stem from the fact that this is a movie written by Kevin Williamso...

Zombieland (2009)

84 mins     Action , Comedy, Horror      

Take the dry humour which Simon Pegg and Nick Frost excelled with in their zombie comedy "Shaun of the Dead", then give it a coating of Hollywood and what you get is the hugely entertaining zombie fest "Zombieland". Blending ...

Adventureland (2009)

107 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

"Adventureland" is a teen comedy, it is about trials and tribulations, relationships, disappointment, drugs and sex but if that makes you think "American Pie" you are going to be disappointed. You see "Adventureland" is not l...

The Social Network (2010)

120 mins     Biography, Drama      

In the 80s we had "Wall Street" a movie which spoke to the yuppie culture with its tale of wealth and greed and in a way "The Social Network" is its modern equivalent as it tells a tale of internet success and the troubles wh...

Rio (2011)

96 mins     Adventure , Animation, Comedy      

If you have a young child "Rio" is probably going to keep them entertained not just for its 96 minute running time but with frequent rewatches, it is bright and entertaining and to be honest fun. But if you are not a parent o...

The Double (2013)

93 mins     Comedy, Drama, Thriller      

The Double: Jesse Eisenberg plays the dual roles of Simon James and James Simon, physically identical but with vastly different personalities...

Now You See Me (2013)

115 mins     Crime, Mystery, Thriller      

I've mentioned this before; a good movie has common ground with a good magic show. You need to be drawn in to what is going on but distracted by what appears to be going when in fact something else is going on in the sideline...

Night Moves (2013)

112 mins     Drama, Thriller      

"Night Moves" is not my first Kelly Reichardt movie and to be honest I watched half expecting to really struggle as some of her movies are shall we say not friendly to fans of commercial cinema rather than indie. In fact I wo...

Rio 2 (2014)

101 mins     Adventure , Animation, Comedy      

I wasn't overly fussed by the first "Rio" and said something along the lines of it being a good animation for children but lacking that extra something to make it work for adults at the same time. Now in a good way I can say ...

Now You See Me 2 (2016)

129 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy      

Movie Review - Now You See Me 2 (2016) As a follow up to "Now You See Me", "Now You See Me 2" delivers everything you expect with a storyline which builds nicely on what was established in the first movie whilst accompanied b...
