Movies starring Joshua Jackson

The Mighty Ducks (1992)

100 mins     Comedy, Drama, Sport      

"The Mighty Ducks" or "Champions" as it is also known is a sports movie based around pee-wee hockey and aimed at younger audiences, but strip away the pee-wee hockey and it is a formula driven sports movie. You could even say...

Andre (1994)

90 mins     Adventure , Drama, Family      

Inspired by a true story "Andre" stars Tina Majorino as Toni Whitney who becomes best friends with a seal she names Andre. But whilst Andre becomes one of the family trouble with local fishermen means danger for both Toni and...

D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994)

106 mins     Comedy, Drama, Sport      

So "The Mighty Ducks" was a movie built around sporting movie cliches, it didn't have an ounce of originality but it worked, it worked so well that 2 years later came the first sequel "D2: The Mighty Ducks". In many ways "D2:...

Magic in the Water (1995)

98 mins     Adventure , Family, Fantasy      

Nessie has moved to Canada or at least that is how "Magic in the Water" comes across as we have a mystical monster in a Canadian lake where the locals play on it to attract tourists. But maybe because this is a manufactured l...

D3: The Mighty Ducks (1996)

104 mins     Comedy, Drama, Sport      

It was sort of inevitable that having given us one sequel another would follow and so in 1996 "D3: The Mighty Ducks" was released. Continuing the story of the young Ducks who first time around won the pee-wee hockey champions...

Urban Legend (1998)

99 mins     Horror      

"Urban Legend" is basically "Scream", we have a mixed group of typical teenagers, some serious some comical and we have a serial killer at loose who not only as we learn has a motive but seems to be targeting those close to N...

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...

Cruel Intentions (1999)

97 mins     Drama, Romance, Thriller      

For those who saw the magnificent 1988 "Dangerous Liaisons" will view "Cruel Intentions" as a travesty, a lame reworking of Choderlos de Laclos' "Les Liaisons Dangereuses". But for me it's not a lame reworking but a clever ad...

Lone Star State of Mind (2002)

88 mins     Comedy, Crime      

The premise to "Lone Star State of Mind" may be original with Earl trying to sort things out for Junior with just 48 hours to get Baby to LA at the same time but the concept isn't. This sort of comedy with a guy with a deadli...

Shadows in the Sun (2005)

100 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

Starring Harvey Keitel, Joshua Jackson and Claire Forlani "Shadows in the Sun" looks like just another cliche soiree into the hills of Tuscany where the picturesque vistas and the laid back appeal of Italian life wins over no...

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...

Racing Stripes (2005)

102 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Drama      

To sound like the proverbial broken record; whilst some children's movie will entertain adults at the same time there are those which are simply for younger eyes. "Racing Stripes" is one of those movies which is simply for ch...

Shutter (2008)

85 mins     Horror, Mystery, Thriller      

I never got into the whole Asian horror scene, the whole thing of scary Asian girl with shiny black hair and sad faces appearing from nowhere did nothing what so for ever me and when Hollywood jumped on the bandwagon with a s...

Lay the Favorite (2012)

94 mins     Comedy, Drama      

"Lay the Favorite" is based on a true story, that story is about Beth Raymer and her life. The thing is that before watching "Lay the Favorite" I had never heard of Beth Raymer and having watched the movie I don't think I kno...

Inescapable (2012)

93 mins     Drama, Mystery, Romance      

A thinking man's "Taken" is what I am guessing they were going for with "Inescapable" focusing more on arranging deals, various connections, secrets, lies and so on rather than being an action movie where one man turns killin...
