Movies starring Eddie Izzard

Velvet Goldmine (1998)

124 mins     Drama      

Perhaps those who were teens and twenty some things during the 70s really get a buzz out of "Velvet Goldmine" as this movie is clearly inspired by real artists such as David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed. Perhaps those who exp...

Ocean's Twelve (2004)

120 mins     Comedy, Crime, Thriller      

The first "Ocean's Eleven" was a surprisingly good movie, especially as it was a remake so a sequel was pretty much anticipated. Well "Ocean's Twelve" comes along full of the impressive visuals, star studded cast, humour and ...

Five Children and It (2004)

89 mins     Adventure , Family, Fantasy      

The mind can play some awful tricks on you, take for example "Five Children and It", I was convinced I watched it as a BBC series when I was still at school yet the version I remember didn't get made until 1991 when I had fin...

Romance & Cigarettes (2005)

105 mins     Comedy, Musical, Romance      

"Romance & Cigarettes" debuted back in 2005 at the Venice & Toronto Film Festivals but it wasn't until 2 years later and writer/director John Turturro financing the distribution himself that it made it on to the big screen. I...

My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006)

95 mins     Comedy, Crime, Drama      

Breaking up with a girlfriend is never easy especially when they take it badly. But how bad could it be if the woman you break up with has super powers? That is what "My Super Ex-Girlfriend" is all about, a comedy about a poo...

Ocean's Thirteen (2007)

117 mins     Comedy, Crime, Thriller      

It has to be said that it was a surprise after the slight disappointment which was "Ocean's Twelve" that they decided to make another movie in the series. But despite being outrageously contrived, full of plot elements which ...

Valkyrie (2008)

121 mins     Drama, Thriller, War      

I wonder how many people watched "Valkyrie" with just the basic knowledge that there was a failed assassination attempt on Hitler's life. I wonder how many with more knowledge had watched one of the previous movies which had ...

Igor (2008)

87 mins     Animation, Comedy, Family      

Have we finally got to the point where modern animations have reached their visual pinnacle and now those behind them are going to have to return to decent writing and creativity to make them stand out. I hope so because I re...

Cars 2 (2011)

106 mins     Adventure , Animation, Comedy      

Movie trivia: "Cars 2" was the first Pixar film which didn't get nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Film since 2001 when the category was introduced. I know why this was; "Cars 2" whilst a solid modern animatio...

Boychoir (2014)

103 mins     Drama      

I didn't mention everything in that synopsis for "Boychoir", there is a bit about Stet's father who had nothing to do with him but who finds himself drawn back in to his life. There is also the fact that whilst Carvelle knows...
