A.W.O.L.: Absent Without Leave (1990)

105 mins     Action , Drama, Sport      

Back in the early 90s I became infatuated by martial arts movies and as such ended up watching a number of Jean-Claude Van Damme movies. One of my favourites, which doesn't mean its any good, is "A.W.O.L." or "Lionheart" as i...

Air America (1990)

113 mins     Action , Comedy      

Released in 1990, there is now a certain amount of irony when you watch "Air America" as it sees Robert Downey Jr. playing a pilot who joins a secret air force team in Laos where he ends up going to war with those running the...

Another 48 Hrs. (1990)

93 mins     Action , Comedy, Crime      

In 1982 Walter Hill gave us "48 Hrs." a movie which you could say lead to the popularity of the buddy movie of a tough cop with a smart ass side kick as numerous movies throughout the 80s delivered a variation on this set up....

Arachnophobia (1990)

103 mins     Comedy, Sci-Fi, Thriller      

"Arachnophobia" may have a PG certificate but if you are in anyway scared of spiders it is going to feel like an 18, seriously because whilst the movie is nothing special the fear factor is spot on. But as I said "Arachnophob...

Awakenings (1990)

121 mins     Biography, Drama      

As a movie reviewer you roll the dice and some times you find yourself watching a string of movies which do little to inspire you and then other times you get one good movie after another. In truth before I sat down to watch ...

Bad Influence (1990)

99 mins     Drama, Thriller      

When it comes to early 90's thrillers "Bad Influence" starring Rob Lowe and James Spader is as stereotypical as they come. High on visuality with its moody lighting and heavy shadows, smattered with sex scenes and a soundtrac...

Basket Case 2 (1990)

90 mins     Comedy, Horror      

A good idea gone wrong is what I call "Basket Case 2" a sequel which was never needed. I say never needed because when in 1982 Frank Henenlotter gave us "Basket Case" he did so on a small budget and the smallness of budget, t...

The Big Man (1990)

116 mins     Crime, Drama, Sport      

On paper "The Big Man" sounds like a fantastic movie with Liam Neeson playing an unemployed miner who in order to feel some sort of dignity agrees to be a bare knuckle fighter. It sounds like on one hand we could have some so...

Bird on a Wire (1990)

110 mins     Action , Comedy, Thriller      

"Bird on a Wire" is a movie which was made not because it had some wonderful original storyline, or a lot of special effects, although it does have a lot of chase sequences, nope it appears to have been made because someone w...

Burning Bridges (1990)

95 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

There was one reason why I watched "Burning Bridges" it was because it starred Meredith Baxter and Baxter as usual didn't disappoint. In fact all the performances in "Burning Bridges" were good but the movie itself is surpris...

Captain America (1990)

97 mins     Action , Fantasy, Sci-Fi      

This may sound very wrong but this 1990 version of "Captain America" is everything I wanted it to be. You may ask how because this is a movie panned for being bad but that is exactly what I hoped for a movie which is so bad i...

Child in the Night (1990)

Columbo Goes to College (1990)

98 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

When you think about it, it is kind of amazing how popular the "Columbo" series was and how with out Peter Falk it really was nothing. What I mean is in all the episodes/ TV movies which I have watched we get told who the kil...
