Rocky II (1979)

119 mins     Action , Drama, Sport      

After the success of the original "Rocky" movie, it was no surprise that a sequel was made, not one but in fact a whole series of them. Unfortunately, when they decided to make "Rocky II", they stuck to the same formula, pret...

Rocky III (1982)

99 mins     Action , Drama, Sport      

Having gone toe to toe twice with Apollo Creed in 1982 we got a third outing for Sylvester Stallone's iconic Rocky Balboa and the question was would "Rocky III" be more of the same. Well the answer was sort of because whilst ...

Once Upon a Time in America (1984)

Mickey Blue Eyes (1999)

102 mins     Comedy, Crime, Romance      

Stick Hugh Grant in a British comedy like "Notting Hill" and often his bumbling English toff persona is amusing, stick him in an American comedy and sadly he becomes weak, repetitive and to be frank more than a little annoyin...

Transamerica (2005)

103 mins     Comedy, Drama      

I will bet that there are those who have been put off of watching "Transamerica" because they saw that it was a movie about a pre-operative male-to-female transsexual. It's a shame if they are because they are missing out on ...
