As is the case with the other movies in the "In the Line of Duty" series "The F.B.I Murders" is based on a true story which to cut things short is known as the "1986 FBI Miami shootout" you can Google that to find more inform...

Little Nikita (1988)

98 mins Drama, Thriller

Back in 1988 if the local cinema had been closer "Little Nikita" would have been the sort of movie I would have gone to see because it starred River Phoenix. But I am pretty sure that whilst the cinema would have had many tee...

Sea of Love (1989)

Whilst "Basic Instinct" maybe one of the best known erotic cop thrillers it by no means wasn't the first, erotic cop thrillers had been around for a while and a few years before we had Michael Douglas falling getting it on wi...

Blue Steel (1989)

102 mins Action , Crime, Drama

Switch off you brains folks because if you watch 80s movie "Blue Steel" and pay attention to the detail you are going to end up in fits of laughter. It is what happened to me the first time I watched this Kathryn Bigelow movi...

Rising Son (1990)

92 mins Drama, TV Movie

"Rising Son" is one of those slice of life movies which is a product of its era with a storyline about factories and plants being closed down as robot production becomes cheaper. But it is a story which despite being over 20 ...

When You Remember Me (1990)

91 mins Biography, Drama, TV Movie

It is important to remember that "When You Remember Me" is in fact based on a true story and that true story is a powerful one. As such if I was rating "When You Remember Me" on purely the power of the story then I would rate...

The Perfect Tribute (1991)

100 mins Drama, TV Movie

Every country has them, those rousing speeches by politicians which linger long after the politician has passed on. In Britain we have countless Churchill speeches which stoke the patriotic fires whilst in America there are t...

The Indian in the Cupboard (1995) Hal Scardino stars as 9 year old Omri who discovers he has a magic cupboard which can bring his toy figurines to life...

Flirting with Disaster (1996)

92 mins Comedy

That makes "Flirting with Disaster" sound like quite a run of the mill road trip comedy with some typical character types; the nervy, neurotic man in a mid life crisis, the sex mad wife who is desperate to sort things out so ...

Random Hearts (1999)

133 mins Drama, Mystery, Romance

"Random Hearts" proves the fact that talent alone doesn't make a movie because with Sydney Pollack behind the camera and Harrison Ford and Kristin Scott Thomas in front this is a movie which has talent. The trouble is that no...

Me, Myself & Irene (2000)

116 mins Comedy

"Me, Myself & Irene" comes under a group of movies which when you first watched them they were great but once viewed again you begin to question your own judgement. It's not unusual I can think if loads of movies and not just...

Changing Lanes (2002)

You are in a supermarket and someone barges in to you with a shopping trolley, they glare at you as if it's your fault before walking off, do you ignore it and move on or do you hit out and give them a piece of your mind. In ...

Stealing Harvard (2002)

85 mins Comedy, Crime

"Stealing Harvard" is not terrible, I have definitely seen worse movies but it is 85 minutes of nothing-ness, 85 minutes which you will want back once it is over. What is the problem with the movie, well lame, repeated jokes ...

Sins of the Father (2002)

93 mins Crime, Drama, TV Movie

I wasn't even born in 1963 when the bombing of 16th Street Baptist Church happened and so can only guess at the uproar which the bombing and murder of four young girls caused especially when the case was closed. But for that ...

Cheaper by the Dozen (2003)

98 mins Comedy, Family

Whilst I have seen the 1950 version of "Cheaper by the Dozen" I've not read the novel on which it is based but I can come to two conclusions about the 2003 movie called "Cheaper by the Dozen", it is neither a remake nor an ad...

Shall We Dance (2004)

106 mins Comedy, Drama, Romance

I've not seen the popular Japanese movie which "Shall We Dance" from 2004 is a remake of, but the fact it became a hit and Hollywood decided to remake it suggests to me that it was very good. And although I haven't seen it I ...

Rumor Has It... (2005)

93 mins Comedy, Romance

Rumor Has It... (2005) Jennifer Aniston stars as Sarah who seeks out the man who slept with both her mum and her grandmother, a story which inspired The Graduate...

Fun with Dick and Jane (2005)

90 mins Comedy, Crime

My theory when it comes to remakes is quite similar to my theory on book adaptations, always watch the movie before you read the book so you are not disappointed by what is different and watch the remake before the original s...
