- Review: Confessions d'un homme dangereux (2002)
Doubt fuels George Clooney's directorial debut. Can he cut it behind the camera? Is show business of any worth? Is TV innovator Chuck Barris (Sam Rockwell) really a CIA assassin on the side? Barris is the real-life creator of US shows The Dating ... - Review: IkÃngut (2001)
He's four foot high, covered in fur, and he speaks in a strange language. Could he be a demon or is he, as one of the villagers suggests, a flying polar bear? As we quickly realize, this furry little bundle isn't some hellish offspring but a lost ... - Review: Mean Machine (2001)
If Hollywood gave an Oscar for barefaced cheek, first-time director Barry Skolnick would beat allcomers. Not only does he remake Robert Aldrich's classic American prison film " The Mean Machine " (aka "The Longest Yard") as a British comedy, but he ... - Review: Assaut sur le central 13 (2005)
Blood raw and bristling with tension, Jean-François Richet's claustrophobic thriller Assault On Precinct 13 is a satisfyingly sharp update of John Carpenter's cult classic . Itself inspired by Howard Hawk's 50s western Rio Bravo, the premise is ... - Review: Cry_Wolf (2005)
A 12A rating on a horror movie is usually a bad sign, and sure enough Cry Wolf is a timid beastie by slasher standards. Set in one of those Dead Poets Society prep schools where even the janitors drive Porsches, the movie follows a group of students ... - Review: Sexy Beast (2000)
Sunning himself by the pool at his luxurious Costa del Crime villa, Gal (Ray Winstone), a retired London crook, escapes by a hair's breadth from being squashed like a fly by a huge boulder that has hurtled off a mountain to end up immersed in the ... - Review: The Polar Express: An IMAX 3D Experience (2004)
Forget Christmas cheer - kids will run screaming from The Polar Express after seeing Tom Hanks looking like he's been killed, embalmed and resurrected by lightening. In reality, it's the work of director Robert Zemeckis, using state-of-the-art ... - Review: Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
If David Lynch decided to ditch the dwarves and make an American high school comedy, the result might be something like Napoleon Dynamite. Debut director Jared Hess' wonderfully offbeat movie revels in its own kookiness and is the most engaging teen ... - Review: This is Spinal Tap®: A Rockumentary by Martin Di Bergi (1984)
First of all, let's just clarify something: "This Is Spinal Tap" is the funniest film ever made. So it's a welcome return to the big screen for David St Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, and Derek Smalls 16 years after their first visit. For those who don't ... - Review: Lassie (2005)
Lassie, the courageous collie with the heart of a lion and the navigational instincts of a homing pigeon, really does come home in Charles Sturridge's cosy family adventure, which brings the legendary mutt back across the Atlantic to the British ... - Review: To Kill a King (2003)
Is history about personalities or politics? That seems to be the headache posed by director Mike Barker in this curious historical drama . Judging by the stories surrounding the production, that question was the least of his worries. Plagued by ... - Review: Extremist (2002)
There's something quite pathetic about "Extreme Ops" . It could be the title, which promises a kick-ass thriller about an elite military unit, but delivers a bunch of dumb snowboarders instead. Or it could be the plot, in which said snowboarders ... - Review: Ian Fleming's Moonraker (1979)
For many "Moonraker" is the worst Bond film, not least because the adventure culminates in a massive laser battle above the planet. Besides this farther-than-far-fetched effort to capitalise on the late 70s taste for SF, such inanities as Bond ... - Review: Chiens des neiges (2002)
If this slight Disney comedy is remembered for anything, it will be for the way it partners two recent best supporting actor Oscar-winners - Cuba Gooding Jr and veteran James Coburn - only to have them play second fiddle to eight furry sled dogs. ... - Review: Diner (1982)
Barry Levinson's directorial debut from his own Oscar-nominated script remains his most perfectly realised and charming movie and is a fitting eulogy to his home town of Baltimore. Plot-wise, there's relatively little to divulge in this classic ...
