Movies starring Joe Morton

Crossroads (1986)

96 mins     Drama, Musical      

For a movie which on paper looks like it has a rather strange fantasy storyline and of somewhat limited appeal, "Crossroads" starring Ralph Macchio and Joe Seneca is a remarkably enjoyable movie with a much greater appeal tha...

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)

137 mins     Action , Sci-Fi, Thriller      

"Terminator 2: Judgment Day" is one of those rare examples where a sequel is as good if not better than the original. Credit where it's due "The Terminator" was a pretty spectacular movie considering the small budget and so w...

Forever Young (1992)

102 mins     Action , Comedy, Romance, Sci-Fi      

"Forever Young" is what it is a mildly entertaining movie which aims to combine a sentimental love story with a touch of comedy and trading on the star status of Mel Gibson to carry it. But in aiming to combine these two diff...

Speed (1994)

116 mins     Action , Thriller      

On face value Jan de Bont's "Speed" starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock is just another dumb movie which relies on action and its stars popularity to carry it. But whilst it does revel in the outrageous and often absurd ...

Executive Decision (1996)

134 mins     Action , Thriller      

As the mid 90s saw action take to the skies with a series of movies based on planes being taken over by bad guys Kurt Russell along with Steven Seagal found themselves in their own sky battle in "Executive Decision"....

Jack Reed: Death and Vengeance (1996)

86 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

To my knowledge "Jack Reed: Death and Vengeance" was the last in this series of made for TV crime movies starring Brian Dennehy and Charles S. Dutton and I can understand why. You see whilst both Dennehy and Dutton are likeab...

Lone Star (1996)

135 mins     Drama, Mystery, Romance      

"Lone Star" is the third John Sayles movie I have watched and like the other movies it draws you in and keeps you watching with a storyline which is full of intrigue. It also has drama and romance but it is the intrigue which...

Apt Pupil (1998)

111 mins     Drama, Thriller      

Adapted from a Stephen King novel "Apt Pupil" is an unsurprisingly disturbing movie. It has a disturbing basis and concept and much of what happens is disturbing yet despite a disturbing performance from Ian McKellen and soli...

Blues Brothers 2000 (1998)

123 mins     Action , Comedy      

Let me lay it on the line; even if John Belushi had been alive a sequel to "The Blues Brothers" 18 years after the original would still not have worked as the original had a vibe which appealed to audiences of the time and yo...

Ali: An American Hero (2000)

85 mins     Biography, Drama, Sport, TV Movie      

That brings me to the issue which "Ali: An American Hero" along with every single biopic of Muhammad Ali has and it is unable to do justice to the eventful life of the legend in the confines of one movie let alone one which i...

Dragonfly (2002)

104 mins     Drama, Fantasy, Mystery      

If you build it she will come, sorry couldn't resist that altered reference to "Field of Dreams" as "Dragonfly" sees Kevin Costner in dead person territory again. In fact "Dragonfly" sees Kevin Costner in a lot of familiar te...

Paycheck (2003)

119 mins     Action , Sci-Fi, Thriller      

When "Paycheck" starts it made me think of Hitchcock's "North by Northwest" but merged with a computer game where are protagonist finds himself with no memory of the past 3 years, an envelope of strange items which will be cr...

Jasper, Texas (2003)

114 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

First things first and I know nothing of the true story of James Byrd, Jr and his gruesome murder which happened on the 7th June 1998, well other than what I have learned in the process of watching Jasper, Texas. As such I do...

Stealth (2005)

121 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

There is most definitely an audience who will like "Stealth", they will enjoy all the far fetched nonsense, the countless over the top action sequences and the trio of good looking stars, but I'm not one of them. For me "Stea...

Gone But Not Forgotten (2005)

180 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

Now that is a seriously shortened version of what goes on during the first half of "Gone But Not Forgotten" and during this opening there is also a friendly rivalry set up between Betsy and D.A. Alan Page played by Lou Diamon...

The Night Listener (2006)

91 mins     Crime, Mystery, Thriller      

Inspired by a true story "The Night Listener" is a bit of a mixed bag of a psychological thriller. I would even say it is inconsistent because the story is good but then seems drawn out, Robin Williams plays a decent serious ...

La Linea - The Line (2009)

95 mins     Action , Crime, Drama      

La Linea - The Line (2009) Ray Liotta stars as an addassin sent to Tijuana to eliminate to eliminate the new leader of a drus cartel...
