Movies starring David Cross

Small Soldiers (1998)

108 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy, Family      

Whilst "Gremlins" may be the movie most people think of when the name Joe Dante is mentioned part of me thinks it should be "Small Soldiers". Don't get me wrong as I love "Gremlins" and "Small Soldiers" has a lot of similarit...

Scary Movie 2 (2001)

83 mins     Comedy      

I'm not ashamed to say that I enjoyed "Scary Movie" at the time it was released it was one of the better spoof movies and did a good job of parodying "Scream" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer". But that's where my enjoyme...

Life Without Dick (2002)

97 mins     Comedy, Crime, Romance      

Comedies are meant to be funny right? I ask because romantic, crime, comedy "Life Without Dick" never made me laugh once. The irony is that "Life Without Dick" has a good idea for a romantic comedy and has a good cast but eve...

She's the Man (2006)

105 mins     Comedy, Romance      

What is it with teen movies and The Bard, is it some sort of grand plan to make the works of Shakespeare more interesting to younger audience who find the thought of wading through one of his stories a bit dull and daunting. ...

Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)

92 mins     Animation, Comedy, Family      

I remember as a child getting an "Alvin and the Chipmunks" record, do you remember those things, but other than the catchy and cute "The Chipmunk Song" I didn't really care for it. Funnily that is sort of how I feel about "Al...

Kung Fu Panda (2008)

92 mins     Action , Adventure , Animation      

I will be the first to admit that I have a love hate relationship with Jack Black and his movies because for everyone which impresses me there are two or three which just annoy me. Thankfully "Kung Fu Panda" is one of those w...

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (2009)

88 mins     Comedy, Family      

When I reviewed "Alvin and the Chipmunks" I basically said that it was fun for young children but beyond the novelty factor of mischievous singing chipmunks it had little for grown ups. And to be honest I could say the same f...

Year One (2009)

97 mins     Adventure , Comedy      

Once in a while I see the poster for a movie and just have a feeling, that feeling is usually that it is going to be bad and I had that feeling when I first saw the poster for "Year One". Just the combination of Jack Black an...

Megamind (2010)

95 mins     Action , Animation, Comedy      

I'll lay my cards on the table right from the start; I am not the biggest fan of Will Ferrell and whilst some modern animations have impressed many have disappointed. So the combined idea of an animation with Will Ferrell voi...

Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked (2011)

87 mins     Adventure , Animation, Comedy      

Okay dokey then "Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked" the third of these live action Chipmunk animations and in one review I saw referred to as a pile of chip. And I can see how someone might refer to "Alvin and the Chipmunk...

Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)

91 mins     Action , Adventure , Animation      

I was pleasantly surprised by the first "Kung Fu Panda" but that didn't stop me feeling sceptical about a sequel as so many animations ends up churning out inferior sequels because a young audience is easier to please. Fortun...
