Jumpin' Jack Flash (1986)

100 mins     Comedy, Romance, Thriller      

If you ask people to name a Whoopi Goldberg movie I would guess "Jumpin' Jack Flash" would be in the top 5 especially from those who grew up during the 80s. But the irony is that "Jumpin' Jack Flash" is neither that great a m...

Clara's Heart (1988)

108 mins     Drama      

Maybe if I had watched "Clara's Heart" back in 1988 when it was released I would be more charmed by it but I didn't and since it was made there have been other similar movies including "Corrina, Corrina" which also stars Whoo...

Ghost (1990)

127 mins     Drama, Mystery, Romance      

Whilst "Ghost" may have found it's way on to various romantic movie lists it is for me a good movie even a nice romantic movie but one which you remember for certain things and none of them are the storyline. Nope you remembe...

Sister Act (1992)

100 mins     Comedy, Family      

"Sister Act" to put it simply is fun from start to end, from seeing Whoopi Goldberg as a Reno lounge singer to watching Whoopi Goldberg go into hiding as a nun. Watching Whoopi energetically improve the fortunes of a convent ...

Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993)

107 mins     Comedy      

"Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit" is a prime example of what is wrong with the movie industry, it didn't need to be made but because Whoopi Goldberg in "Sister Act" turned a profit the money men saw a sequel as a guaranteed m...

Corrina, Corrina (1994)

115 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

"Corrina, Corrina" is a movie with a lot of laid back charm as it deals with life after the death of a loved one, whilst sort of merging it with an unorthodox romance. There is not a single offensive element to the movie as i...

Star Trek: Generations (1994)

118 mins     Action , Adventure , Mystery, Sci-Fi      

To adapt the saying to fit my purpose "To boldly go where this man has never gone before" is apt for when it comes to "Star Trek: Generations" the 7th movie in the Star Trek foundation. It is apt as I have not even seen even ...

The Lion King (1994)

89 mins     Adventure , Animation, Drama      

I've often mentioned how I prefer the old Walt Disney animations over modern animations because to me those old animations such as "Bambi" had a skill about them which even as a movie fan you could appreciate. You also get a ...

Bogus (1996)

110 mins     Comedy, Family, Fantasy      

I feel like I should love "Bogus" it has a fantasy storyline which harks back to the Capra era, in fact with a storyline featuring an invisible friend their is also an element of Koster's "Harvey" about it. But unfortunately ...

Girl, Interrupted (1999)

127 mins     Biography, Drama      

Whilst set in a psychiatric hospital it would be wrong to compare "Girl, Interrupted" to the likes of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", as they are two vastly different movies. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was about big...

Rat Race (2001)

112 mins     Comedy      

If I mention the name Jerry Zucker I hope some will recognize it as he was part of the team who gave us such greats as "Airplane!" and "The Naked Gun" movies. But whilst Zucker is probably best known for being part of the cre...

What Makes a Family (2001)

101 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

The write up I read prior to watching "What Makes a Family" read something like "a lesbian partner battles for custody of their child after her partner died and the Grandparents under law have more rights". Now for me that ma...

Good Fences (2003)

119 mins     Comedy, Drama, TV Movie      

"Good Fences" is the sort of movie which at times is good at others is weird, sometimes it is funny, sometimes it is not, every now and then it is dramatic but not consistently. What I am saying is that "Good Fences" ends up ...

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...
