Movies starring Emily Mortimer

The Ghost and the Darkness (1996)

110 mins Action , Adventure , Drama

The Ghost and the Darkness - Michael Douglas & Val Kilmer are the hunter & engineer with a couple of ma eaters to kill in Africa...

The Saint (1997)

116 mins Action , Romance, Sci-Fi, Thriller

Whilst his "Top Gun" buddy Tom Cruise wowed audiences with his action thriller "Mission: Impossible" it seems that Val Kilmer tried to follow in his foot steps with "The Saint", although I would imagine "The Saint" came about...

Coming Home (1998)

199 mins Drama, Romance, TV Movie, War

I wonder how those who read Rosamunde Pilcher's novel from which "Coming Home" is adapted feel about this TV mini-series/ TV movie? At the same time I also wonder what the fans of "Downton Abbey" feel about it. I say the seco...

Notting Hill (1999)

124 mins Comedy, Romance

Whilst some people absolutely adore "Notting Hill" I don't, not that I think it's a bad movie but one which has a few nice scenes, a couple of clever story elements but other than that it is average. It just doesn't woo me as...

The Kid (2000)

104 mins Comedy, Family, Fantasy

Movie Review "The Kid" � When cynical workaholic Russ Duritz (Bruce Willis) returns home to find a young boy (Spencer Breslin) in his home, he is even more shocked when he realises it is him when he was 8 and for some reason ...

Scream 3 (2000)

116 mins Comedy, Horror, Thriller

Fresh, fun and shocking are not words that spring to mind to describe "Scream 3", what for a while was the final chapter in the "Scream" movies. I say supposed as like any horror bad guy, they keep coming back and with "Screa...

The 51st State (2001)

93 mins Adult , Comedy, Crime

To explain "The 51st State" is easy, take "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" shift the action up North to Liverpool and Manchester and make the characters even more caricature like. It really is that simple and like Guy Ri...

Bright Young Things (2003)

106 mins Comedy, Drama

I just don't know, I just don't know how I feel about Stephen Fry's "Bright Young Things". Not because it is something different or a great artsy movie or that it spoke to me on some deeper level or that it is utter tosh but ...

Dear Frankie (2004)

105 mins Drama

For the most Shona Auerbach's "Dear Frankie" feels like a very middle of the road British film, neither very interesting nor offensive, just very average. It's the sort of movie which you could end up turning off as it honest...

Howl's Moving Castle (2004)

115 mins Adventure , Animation, Fantasy

To be honest I am not a huge fan of modern animated films, especially those which come under the Manga banner, as the ones I had seen had been confusing and boring. So when a young friend enthused so much about "Howl's Moving...

Redbelt (2008)

99 mins Drama, Sport

I am kind of impressed by "Redbelt" but am also kind of at a loss by it at the same time. You see "Redbelt" is kind of indefinable as here we have this story about a man of principal who won't fight; he did his fighting in th...

Harry Brown (2009)

103 mins Crime, Drama, Thriller

Harry Brown (2009) Michael Caine stars as the old man who decides to take on the teenage thugs who terrorize the neighbourhood where he lives alone...

Shutter Island (2010)

138 mins Drama, Mystery, Thriller

2010 must have been a dream for Leonardo DiCaprio quite literally because not only did he star in "Inception" where he played a man who could go into peoples' dreams he also starred in Martin Scorsese's "Shutter Island" which...

Hugo (2011)

126 mins Adventure , Drama, Family

"The film was received with critical acclaim, with many critics praising the visuals, acting, and direction" is a sentence which I found on Wikipedia and sums up "Hugo" quite brilliantly. Now the irony of this is that those w...

Cars 2 (2011)

106 mins Adventure , Animation, Comedy

Movie trivia: "Cars 2" was the first Pixar film which didn't get nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Film since 2001 when the category was introduced. I know why this was; "Cars 2" whilst a solid modern animatio...
