Movies starring Gina Gershon

Pretty in Pink (1986)

96 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

To be frank when it comes to John Hughes movies, be it written or directed by the great man, "Pretty in Pink" is one of my least favourites. There is something about, the slightly tame take on teenage love across social eleme...

Sweet Revenge (1987)

78 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama      

If I try to compare "Sweet Revenge" to another movie to try and give you some idea of what sort of movie it is I would say it is a bit like "Romancing the Stone" when it comes to Ted Shackelford's part as he is are one liner ...

Red Heat (1988)

104 mins     Action , Comedy, Crime      

You can sum up "Red Heat" by saying it is a cop-buddy movie with a slice of culture clash thrown in, not exactly new back in 1988 when it came out. But whilst there is nothing in the least bit special about "Red Heat" it work...

Cocktail (1989)

99 mins     Drama, Romance      

After leaving the army, Brian Flanagan (Tom Cruise) finds getting a job in the city harder than he imagined and so ends up working in a bar run by Doug Coughlin (Bryan Brown). But between them, with their cocktail juggling th...

Out for Justice (1991)

91 mins     Action , Crime, Thriller      

After a day of watching supposedly good movies which only end up disappointing one thing will guarantee to entertain me, that is Steven Seagal. A Steven Seagal movie is nothing special, they work to a formula and in more rece...

Showgirls (1995)

128 mins     Drama      

Released back in 1995, Paul Verhoeven's "Showgirls" has managed to gain a major amount of notoriety for being one of the worst movies ever made, and although some people love it I can't disagree with those who criticise it. S...

Best of the Best 3: No Turning Back (1995)

90 mins     Action , Crime, Drama      

The "Best of the Best" movies are a weird bunch, the original "Best of the Best" was an under dog sports movie, "Best of the Best 2" was a revenge movie and then there is "Best of the Best 3" which has an almost western story...

Bound (1996)

104 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

Notorious for the lesbian sex scene featuring Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon, "Bound" is in fact a very clever movie. It is a mix of genres as there is dark humour, a thriller, action and violence all combining to deliver an...

Face/Off (1997)

138 mins     Action , Crime, Thriller      

Directed by John Woo "Face/Off" is still one of the best action movies ever made with John Travolta and Nicolas Cage delivering some of their best performances in this face swapping drama....

Driven (2001)

116 mins     Action , Drama, Sport      

Driven: Sylvester Stallone stars as Joe Tanto, a former racing driver who agrees to get back in a car to guide a young driverm but first Joe must deal with his demons...

Out of Season (2004)

105 mins     Crime, Drama      

As you can see from that short and direct synopsis "Out of Season" is a movie of 6 characters with storylines which interweave. It's not anything special for being such but it is one of the more convoluted interweaving movies...

Three Way (2004)

88 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

I mentioned sex a couple of times in that synopsis, not because people search for sex scenes on line but because the only thing "Three Way" has going for it are the sex scenes and the nudity which often goes hand in hand with...

Man About Town (2006)

96 mins     Comedy, Drama      

Writer and Director Mike Binder is the man responsible for one of my favourite movies, no I don't mean "Man About Town", but the under-appreciated "Indian Summer". He is also the man responsible for "Man About Town", not only...

P.S. I Love You (2007)

126 mins     Drama, Romance      

"P.S. I Love You" is a frustrating movie which has wonderful tender scenes which can make you weep and smile but then delivers scenes which make you groan in their cheesiness. But most frustrating is that the mixture of drama...

Everything She Ever Wanted (2009)

180 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

"Everything She Ever Wanted" is one of those two part mini-series which now often gets broadcast as a 3 hour movie and is based on a true story. Now this sort of thing is right up my street, a movie based on a true story surr...

Killer Joe (2011)

102 mins     Crime, Thriller      

How to describe "Killer Joe"? Well you could say it was like someone took one of those Ealing comedies from the 60s where a crime doesn't go as plan and gave it a modern, dark, quirky, Fargo-esque make over. But in truth that...
