Universal Soldier (1992)

102 mins     Action , Drama, Sci-Fi      

Sometimes the fondness for a movie will be so strong that even when you know it is corny you will still love it. That is how I feel about "Universal Soldier" as whilst having watched it recently it was corny in places but I s...

Stargate (1994)

121 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

"Stargate" can be described as Indiana Jones meets Star Wars and that is in itself a problem because it makes it too familiar, too look-alike, which it is a shame because there is so much to love about "Stargate", the idea it...

Independence Day (1996)

There is one thing which is a sure bet, that is once every couple of years Hollywood will spew out a big budget over the top action romp where America saves the day, which is what "Independence Day" was on it's release in 199...

10,000 BC (2008)

109 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama      

"10,000 BC" reminds me of a scene from "The Big Bang Theory" where the geeks have done something high techy techy and Penny asks why which they respond with "because we can". Now in fairness there is more to "10,000 BC" than ...

2012 (2009)

158 mins     Action , Adventure , Disaster, Drama, Sci-Fi, Thriller      

There was a time when a disaster movie would be about a sinking ship, a doomed plane or a burning building but in recent years it appears that Hollywood is not content just to have this scale of drama, they want bigger, they ...

White House Down (2013)

131 mins     Action , Drama, Thriller
