Eight Men Out (1988)

119 mins     Drama, Sport      

"Eight Men Out" is the movie about the Black Sox scandal when then Chicago White Sox accepted bribes to intentionally throw the 1919 World Series, a series they were odds on favourites to win. Featuring excellent performances...

Mississippi Burning (1988)

128 mins     Drama, Mystery, Thriller      

The greatest compliment I can give "Mississippi Burning" is that it is entertaining but also hard hitting and brutally honest in its tale of racism in 60s Mississippi. It means that this story which I believe is partly based ...

Sea of Love (1989)

113 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

Whilst "Basic Instinct" maybe one of the best known erotic cop thrillers it by no means wasn't the first, erotic cop thrillers had been around for a while and a few years before we had Michael Douglas falling getting it on wi...

Days of Thunder (1990)

107 mins     Action , Drama, Thriller      

There you have it "Top Gun 2", oops sorry wrong movie, or is it. There are so many similarities between "Days of Thunder" and "Top Gun" that you could be forgiven for thinking that you have just watched a remake of it, but on...

JFK (1991)

205 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

Even though the official investigation by the Warren Commission stated that the Presidents death was caused by a solitary gun man, New Orleans District Attorney, Jim Garrison believed that the Warren Commission was covering u...

Tombstone (1993)

120 mins     Action , Drama, Western      

With the release of Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven" in 1992, and a resurgence in the demand for Cowboy movies, it came as no surprise, when in 1993 "Tombstone" was released, a Hollywood take on the legendary lives of Wyatt Earp...

Cliffhanger (1993)

112 mins     Action , Adventure , Thriller      

Having tried to lay "Rocky" to rest with the less than spectacular "Rocky V" and tried his hand at a couple of comedies, muscle man Sylvester Stallone returned to form in 1993 with what would be the start of a run of what can...

The Replacement Killers (1998)

87 mins     Action , Crime, Drama      

That took some effort. I don't mean watching "The Replacement Killers" but writing a synopsis for the movie which is more than just a single sentence. That sort of highlights the one issue that there is with "The Replacement ...

The Bone Collector (1999)

118 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

It probably sounds stupid but "The Bone Collector" is a frustrating movie because it is good and not great. This is a movie which comes up with a decent idea, a quadriplegic homicide detective drawn back in to helping solve a...

The 6th Day (2000)

118 mins     Action , Sci-Fi, Thriller      

It has to be said that "The 6th Day" is very much your stereotypical Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi movie which allows him to flex his muscles in numerous well choreographed but often over the top action sequences. Think "Total...

Replicant (2001)

100 mins     Action , Sci-Fi, Thriller      

As an actor Jean-Claude Van Damme has his limits and I can't say I have never seen him give a great acting performance but placed in the right movie he is more than capable of being entertaining. "Replicant" is one of those m...

Undisputed (2002)

96 mins     Action , Crime, Drama      

"Undisputed" has a few flaws but the major one; the one which causes the most issues is that it lacks depth. Now that may sound stupid seeing that the story to "Undisputed" revolves around boxing matches in prison and so at i...

On Thin Ice (2003)

86 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

I've watched Diane Keaton in a variety of movies but for the most they have been light entertainment, well "On Thin Ice" is certainly not light entertainment with Keaton taking on a role of a widowed mum who ends up hooked on...

The Elminator (2004)

90 mins     Action , Adventure , Thriller      

"The Eliminator" opens with the boat race a scene screaming for action but is thoroughly insipid. There is no adrenalin or excitement during this scene with most of it being shot from a distance as we hear the characters bitc...

Slither (2006)

95 mins     Comedy, Horror, Sci-Fi      

Think of various classic elements of horror b-movies from over the years and combine them into one modern horror which revels in the cheesiness and you get "Slither", another movie in the recent trend of horror comedies which...

Jumper (2008)

88 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi, Thriller      

Featuring an impressive cast which includes Hayden Christensen, Jamie Bell, Rachel Bilson, Diane Lane and Samuel L. Jackson "JUmper" is the story of David Rice who has this mysterious ability to transport himself anywhere in ...

Super (2010)

96 mins     Comedy, Drama      

Lost for words, it is not something I often find myself after watching a movie but it is the state I find myself in having watched "Super". For everything I enjoyed about this movie there was something I hated just as much an...

Hypothermia (2010)

73 mins     Horror      

Movies like "Hypothermia" strangely make my day because they are peculiar, interesting, curious, conflicted and that makes them a refreshing change from the mindless norm which gets churned out. Now don't mistake that for me ...

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

121 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

I have an ominous feeling that when I say that I don't know what all the fuss is about when it comes to "Guardians of the Galaxy" that I might get some hateful comments from those who are a little over zealous when it comes t...
