Sometimes as a movie reviewer I feel like saying just watch a movie and judge for yourself. It may sound a cop out but sometimes you watch a movie which works for several reasons but also for how it makes you feel and "Sudie ...

Unforgiven (1992)

131 mins     Western      

"Unforgiven" is one of those movies where people like to look for subtext, the deeper meaning of it all. As such there are theories about it being a movie which takes a swipe at politics, a movie which subtext is about gun co...

Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman (1993)

89 mins     Comedy, Sci-Fi, TV Movie      

My general view of remakes is that they are not made for those who enjoyed the original movie but for a new generation who might find the old movie corny and dated. But when it comes to the 1993 version of "Attack of the 50 F...

Passion and Prejudice (2001)

90 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

"Passion and Prejudice" is certainly entertaining but it is entertaining for as much which is good as which is bad. The good is the basic idea of a prim professor who having spent her whole life studying and teaching has neve...

Laws of Attraction (2004)

War changes men. That is a theme which is not an uncommon one in cinema especially over the last decade as film makers have used the war in Iraq as the basis for their drama. On one hand "In the Valley of Elah" is another one...

The Seven Year Hitch (2012)

88 mins     Comedy, Romance, TV Movie      

Cutting through the layers of fluff and the underlying storyline to "The Seven Year Hitch" is a familiar one as we have the young man watching on as the woman he realises he loves is marrying the wrong guy. It is an idea whic...

Retribution (2012)

89 mins     Thriller, TV Movie      

As I often say, made for TV movies often appear to take their lead from the big screen and for me "Retribution", also known as "Fatal Justice", does the same. Now in truth the storyline which sees Karen taking it upon herself...
