Watching "Once Upon a Time in America" is a daunting task, partly because at 11 minutes shy of 4 hours it takes up a sizeable chunk of your day. But it is also daunting because in those 229 minutes there is so much detail tha...

Labyrinth (1986)

Visually "Labyrinth" is and impressive movie with Jim Henson's wonderfully detailed puppets, darker than what you would initially expect from the man behind the Muppets but stilly quirkily amusing. From the big to the small e...

The Rocketeer (1991)

108 mins     Action , Adventure , Family      

I've always been surprised that "The Rocketeer" was never made into a series of movies, yes the movie had closure but it had such potential to be made into a series of adventures like the "Indiana Jones" movies. In fact "The ...

Requiem for a Dream (2000)

The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)

104 mins     Drama, Sci-Fi, Thriller      

I had only seen the 1951 version of sci-fi classic "The Day the Earth Stood Still" once when I watched the remake, but it left an impression on me as it wasn't just sci-fi nonsense, it had a message about mankind and peace. I...

Inkheart (2008)

106 mins     Adventure , Family, Fantasy      

"Inkheart" is a movie with a semi decent idea for a fantasy movie and one which I am sure the intention was to awaken young minds to the adventures which lie between the covers of books. But whilst it has all the pieces of th...

He's Just Not That Into You (2009)

129 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance
