Movies starring Amanda Peet

She's The One (1996)

96 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

That synopsis for "She's The One" makes it sound like a bit of a screwball comedy with all the interlinking relationships within the Fitzpatrick family causing issues. And it probably could have been a really enjoyable screwb...

Simply Irresistible (1999)

94 mins     Comedy, Fantasy, Romance      

I have a problem with "Simply Irresistible" as on paper it sounds like a reasonable fantasy rom-com aimed at adults but what is delivered is a daft rom-com which is at a teenage level. It just doesn't work and whilst the stor...

Saving Silverman (2001)

90 mins     Comedy, Crime, Romance      

There are movies which I look forward to and then there are movies which give me an ominous feeling and "Saving Silverman" which is called "Evil Woman" in the UK was one of those ominous movies. And the reason can be put down...

High Crimes (2002)

115 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery      

"High Crimes" is a movie with a problem and one not of it's own doing, that problem is that it is a military thriller with a mix of courtroom and cover up drama which immediately makes you compare it to "A Few Good Men". It i...

Changing Lanes (2002)

98 mins     Drama, Thriller      

You are in a supermarket and someone barges in to you with a shopping trolley, they glare at you as if it's your fault before walking off, do you ignore it and move on or do you hit out and give them a piece of your mind. In ...

Something's Gotta Give (2003)

128 mins     Comedy, Romance      

"Something's Gotta Give" is a movie which has a lot about it which I really like but just as much that I dislike. It makes a stand and proves that a romantic comedy doesn't need to focus on sexy young things to work and that ...

Identity (2003)

90 mins     Horror, Mystery, Thriller      

Intelligent horror, it's a term you don't often hear for the simple fact that most horror movies tend to reside on the side of being dumb. "Identity" is different because here we have a clever storyline which combines stories...

A Lot Like Love (2005)

107 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

There is something very "When Harry Met Sally" about "A Lot Like Love" as it revolves around two people who over a period of 7 years meet up once in a while and go from being just acquaintances to friends and eventually fall ...

The X Files: I Want to Believe (2008)

104 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, Sci-Fi, Thriller      

I use to enjoy the X Files especially in the early days when it focussed on the unexplained, the mysterious and was packed full of conspiracy theories which never failed to entertain, usually in a quirky manner. I would even ...

What Doesn't Kill You (2008)

100 mins     Crime, Drama      

What Doesn't Kill You (2008) Mark Ruffalo stars as a small time hood who struggles to go straight especially when an old friend comes to him with a plan for a robbery...

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 ...

Gulliver's Travels (2010)

85 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Family      

So to put things into context "Gulliver's Travels" is not an adaptation of Jonathan Swift's original stories, it is not a modern update of those stories but takes a few ideas, names and locations and builds a new children's m...

Identity Thief (2013)

111 mins     Comedy, Crime      

Never judge a book by its cover and never judge a movie by what the advertising makes it out to be. As such if you ever read that "Identify Thief" is a comedy about a man trying to get the person who stole his identity arrest...

The Way Way Back (2013)

103 mins     Comedy, Drama      

Have you ever wondered why there are not only so many coming of age movies but they all seem to be highly rated? My theory is because everyone has a memory of their childhood and some even have that one summer they had which ...
