Movies starring Sandra Bullock

Demolition Man (1993)

115 mins     Action , Crime, Sci-Fi      

Released in 1993 "Demolition Man" is your typical Sylvester Stallone action romp which has a thin storyline, plenty of action and some corny dialogue. But "Demolition Man" is entertaining as are Sylvester Stalone and Wesley S...

The Vanishing (1993)

109 mins     Drama, Horror, Mystery      

Did you know that "The Vanishing" was originally a Dutch movie made in 1988 by director George Sluizer who when Hollywood decided to remake it directed the remake as well. I would imagine that most people or at least your ave...

The Thing Called Love (1993)

116 mins     Comedy, Drama, Musical      

Let me hit you with two facts about "The Thing Called Love"; firstly it was the last movie which River Phoenix completed and secondly it failed to make its money back when it was released. Now there are probably a variety of ...

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 ...

The Net (1995)

114 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

Before the internet had taken over our lives it seemed fair game for the movie industry to manipulate our fears and ignorance over technology especially computers and hacking. Unfortunately when it comes to 1995's "The Net" s...

While You Were Sleeping (1995)

103 mins     Comedy, Romance      

For the most "While You Were Sleeping" is your stereotypical date movie, it can be boxed with the likes of "Sleepless in Seattle" as it is that sort of 90s romantic fun. But then director Jon Turteltaub adds something extra t...

A Time to Kill (1996)

149 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

In John Grisham's "A Time to Kill" southern lawyer Jake Brigance (Matthew McConaughey) finds himself defending Carl Lee Hailey (Samuel L. Jackson) who murdered two rednecks when they attacked and raped his 10 year old daughte...

Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997)

120 mins     Action , Thriller      

Whilst "Speed" was both flawed and overlong it was still entertaining as well as being a bit of a roller coaster ride of thrills and spills, but it certainly wasn't a movie which screamed out for a sequel. But as is too often...

Hope Floats (1998)

110 mins     Drama, Romance      

Underwhelming, unimaginative and unexciting are the surprising words I find coming to mind to describe Sandra Bullock and Harry Connick Jr's "Hope Floats", I would say unpredictable as well but that would be a blatant lie as ...

Practical Magic (1998)

103 mins     Comedy, Fantasy, Romance      

Confused is what watching "Practical Magic" left me, not because it has some twisting intelligent storyline but because I just don't know who "Practical Magic" has been made for. It has a touch of comedy, a touch of romance, ...

Forces of Nature (1999)

105 mins     Comedy, Romance      

"Forces of Nature" wants to be a romantic comedy but not your everyday no brainer romantic comedy but one which is soaked in style and has a depth to its purpose. So whilst it takes two standard ideas of a journey from hell w...

28 Days (2000)

100 mins     Drama      

Okay, I admit that I only watched "28 Days" because it starred Sandra Bullock, and had no real expectations of watching an interesting movie. So, I was pleasantly shocked when "28 Days" delivered quite a reasonable drama, whi...

Miss Congeniality (2000)

109 mins     Comedy, Crime      

Coming off of a string of what can only be called less than spectacular movies "Miss Congeniality" was the movie which reminded us that Sandra Bullock was a natural when it comes to that easy going, inoffensive comedy. Releas...

Murder by Numbers (2002)

115 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

So "Murder by Numbers" is a pretty decent thriller, I say pretty decent because unfortunately it does have a couple of flaws. The actual concept of two young men executing the perfect, untraceable murder just too see if they ...

Two Weeks Notice (2002)

101 mins     Comedy, Romance      

Movie Review - Two Weeks Notice (2002) Sandra Bullock stars as Lucy, an activist who ends up not only working for but falling for George Wade (Hugh Grant) whose company she campaigned against when it was going to demolish a l...

Crash (2004)

112 mins     Drama      

I like movies which take us on a journey through various storylines which somehow interlink, sometimes directly sometimes indirectly; they tend to challenge you to think about things differently as was the case in "11:14". Bu...

Miss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous (2005)

115 mins     Action , Comedy, Crime      

So whilst "Miss Congeniality" was a fun movie and reminded us of how funny Sandra Bullock can be, it has to be said that it was also run of the mill, not a movie which would instantly spring to mind as sequel worthy. But lo a...

The Lake House (2006)

99 mins     Drama, Fantasy, Romance      

Re-uniting Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves in their first movie together since 1994's "Speed" "The Lake House" is probably one of the most illogical yet engaging love stories which I have had the pleasure to watch. I say illo...

Premonition (2007)

96 mins     Drama, Horror, Thriller      

"Premonition" starring Sandra Bullock is another one of those supernatural thrillers which looks like it should work but fails thanks to it ignoring its own rules. Like with any movie which plays about with events in a set ti...

The Proposal (2009)

103 mins     Comedy, Romance      

"The Proposal" is the sort of romantic comedy which is pleasant enough to watch but then so are many romantic comedies and there is next to nothing which makes you feel like you need to watch it again. Okay so there maybe a c...
