Fight Club (1999)

139 mins     Drama      

If I was to watch a popular movie once and say it is overrated would be honest but maybe unfair as maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind for it. How about it I said I had watched a movie 5 times and my opinion didn't chan...

Keeping the Faith (2000)

124 mins     Comedy, Romance      

It has to be said "Keeping the Faith" starring Edward Norton and Ben Stiller is a surprisingly enjoyable movie, basically a rom-com which also sort of attempts to deliver a message that religion need not be boring. Does it su...

Starring the powerhouse cast of Robert De Niro, Edward Norton and Marlon Brando "The Score" is a heist movie which sees Robert De Niro and Edward Norton trying to steal a rare sceptre from the Montreal customs house....

Death to Smoochy (2002)

109 mins     Comedy, Crime, Drama      

"Death to Smoochy" aims to be a dark comedy about children's television, a biting satire behind the scenes full of commercialism and secret dealings. And in many ways it is as we have presenters taking back handers, producers...

Red Dragon (2002)

124 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

I was not a fan of "Hannibal", the movie was too different to the first movie with a different style and tone which made it frankly ordinary whilst the change in cast didn't help matters either. But the good news is that "Red...

The Italian Job (2003)

111 mins     Action , Crime, Thriller      

So it may share the same title as "The Italian Job" from 1969, it may share some of the same characters, or at least character names and it may make use of the classic Minis, but that is where similarities with the 2003 versi...

Down in the Valley (2005)

112 mins     Drama, Romance, Thriller      

For those who enjoy movies which challenge them then I strongly urge you to watch "Down in the Valley" because this is a movie which makes you think. In fact I am sitting here and I know I enjoyed "Down in the Valley" but try...

Kingdom of Heaven (2005)

144 mins     Adventure , Drama      

"Kingdom of Heaven" is one of those movies which leaves me conflicted as to how I feel about it. So here are the positives as Ridley Scott has given us another epic which is visually impressive. The look, the scale, the ambit...

The Illusionist (2006)

110 mins     Drama, Romance, Thriller      

2006 seemed a year where magic was a big selling point for movies, alongside the crowd pleasing "The Prestige" there was also Neil Burger's "The Illusionist" another movie laden with mystery and magic. But unlike "The Prestig...

The Incredible Hulk (2008)

108 mins     Action , Sci-Fi, Thriller      

To be frank I had no real urge to watch "The Incredible Hulk" starring Edward Norton especially after the last outing for the green monster which was both disappointing and unmemorable. Add to this that in this new movie none...

Pride and Glory (2008)

130 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

On one hand "Pride and Glory" isn't the most original of ideas, a family of cops mixed with police corruption has been done before, but at the same time it feels like it is a good movie waiting to get out. I say that because ...

Leaves of Grass (2009)

105 mins     Comedy, Crime, Drama      

If someone had told me that Tim Blake Nelson's "Leaves of Grass" was like a Coen brother comedy I would have had to give a long thought about whether to watch it because I often struggle with the Coen humour. As it turns out ...

The Bourne Legacy (2012)

135 mins     Action , Adventure , Thriller      

When they announced they were making another Bourne movie, a spin-off with a different character I didn't want it to happen and after watching "The Bourne Legacy" I still don't think it should have happened. Not only that the...

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

99 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Crime      

Technically "The Grand Budapest Hotel" ticks a lot of boxes, a heck of a lot of boxes. Visually it is undeniably stylish to the point it is hard not to be impressed by the craftsmanship of Wes Anderson and his cinematographer...
