Alive (1993)

127 mins Action , Adventure , Disaster, Drama, Thriller

Technically you could call "Alive" a disaster movie, because in many ways it follows a similar formula of an accident then the battle to survive. But "Alive" is not a big Hollywood disaster movie which thrives on big effects ...

Mary Reilly (1996)

108 mins Drama, Horror, Romance

An alternative title for "Mary Reilly" could easily be "There's not something about Mary" as sadly this is a movie which for most of the time is as dull as watching magnolia paint dry. Now maybe the issue is one more of expec...

Johnny English (2003)

88 mins Action , Adventure , Comedy

8 years after Rowan Atkinson made "Johnny English" I've finally watched it and there is a good reason why it has taken this long. That reason is whilst I loved Atkinson when he did the "Blackadder" shows I lost all interest i...

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005)

109 mins Action , Comedy, Sci-Fi

Despite being born back in 1972 I never got in to "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" as a child and to be frank I don't remember there being many I was at school with who were into it even when in 1981 it leapt from being...

Changeling (2008)

141 mins Drama, Mystery, Thriller

To be frank I didn't expect to like "Changeling", I had owned the DVD for a while yet it remained in it's wrapper because every time I looked at it something put me off. Maybe all the praise it received had made me sceptical,...

Disgrace (2008)

119 mins Drama

Secretariat (2010)

123 mins Drama, Family

Here is the thing, whilst Secretariat was one of the greatest race horses in the world, and depending on who you talk to the greatest, the movie "Secretariat" is not really about the horse or how he won the Triple Crown. Nope...

RED (2010)

111 mins Action , Comedy, Crime

If I was to be honest I would have to say that whilst a fan of Bruce Willis watching him in yet another action movie has become a little predictable as his cynical, tough guy persona gets used time and again. Thankfully "RED"...

Jonah Hex (2010)

81 mins Action , Drama, Family, Western

About the only thing I know about Jonah Hex's comic book history is that this anti hero appeared in DC Comics. That's it and have never even seen a Jonah Hex comic book to be able to tell you how the heavily criticised 2010 m...
