Movies starring Michelle Monaghan

It Runs in the Family (2003)

109 mins     Drama      

To put it simply "It Runs in the Family" leaves me with mixed, contradictory feelings, I liked it but I also didn't, the storyline was at times good but just as often bad and I could go on because for everything I liked I als...

The Bourne Supremacy (2004)

104 mins     Action , Adventure , Mystery, Thriller      

After the stunning success of "The Bourne Identity" any sequel had a lot to live up to in order to not feel either like a carbon copy or a poor imitation. Thankfully in 2004 "The Bourne Supremacy" was released and not only is...

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005)

103 mins     Action , Comedy, Crime      

"Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" is one of those rare gems of a movie which comes along only once in a while because not only is it entertaining it is entertaining for movie lovers. Writer and director Shane Black has given us film noir...

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)

120 mins     Action , Comedy, Romance      

So let's state the obvious, the chemistry between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is electrifying, it is part of the reason why "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" is so good and whether anything happened behind the cameras at this stage is here...

Mission: Impossible III (2006)

126 mins     Action , Adventure , Thriller      

Maybe it's just me but I find "Mission: Impossible III" the most boring of all the "Mission: Impossible" movies so far. We've seen it all before Tom Cruise playing Ethan Hunt and going on some top secret mission to battle a b...

The Heartbreak Kid (2007)

118 mins     Comedy, Romance      

There is no doubt that Bobby and Peter Farrelly have in the past made some hugely entertaining and memorable movies which often verge on the edge of decency with their like for outrageous jokes. In fact I thought that "There'...

Gone Baby Gone (2007)

114 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery      

Whilst as an actor Ben Affleck has made some wrong decisions when it comes to what movie he has starred in his choice of story to make his directional debut is certainly not. This is a powerful story, a first class mystery wh...

Made of Honour (2008)

101 mins     Comedy, Romance      

Michelle Monaghan parading in lingerie is probably the most memorable thing about "Made of Honour" a routine romantic comedy which starts Patrick Dempsey alongside Monaghan as best friends who realise that they are in fact in...

Eagle Eye (2008)

118 mins     Action , Thriller      

"Eagle Eye" is the sort of movie which epitomises modern mainstream cinema; it takes a semi reasonable idea for an action fuelled thriller and makes it so over the top that it becomes stupid. Whilst I am sure I am not alone i...

Due Date (2010)

95 mins     Comedy      

"Due Date" is a fun movie but it doesn't match up to what you expect from either its director Todd Phillips or stars Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis. What I basically mean is that whilst we get a more modern take on a...

Somewhere (2010)

97 mins     Comedy, Drama      

During the first 15 minutes of "Somewhere" there is no dialogue; there is a shot of a Ferrari circling a track a few times and twice we see twin pole dancers who come to Johnny's room, put on a show to help him sleep and then...

Source Code (2011)

93 mins     Mystery, Sci-Fi, Thriller      

"Source Code" is like someone taking a bit of "Groundhog Day" and turning it into a mind fuck thriller as we have a young man waking up in someone else's body 8 minutes before a bomb goes off. Now that is a good idea because ...

Machine Gun Preacher (2011)

129 mins     Action , Biography, Crime      

Let me start a bit off on a tangent but I have watched quite a few movies about people who have had an epiphany, changed their ways and gone on to make a huge difference in the lives of others. The thing is that many of those...

Penthouse North (2013)

90 mins     Drama, Mystery, Thriller      

You know some times it is hard not to sound sexist when reviewing movies but some times it is hard not to and "Penthouse North" which also goes by the name of "Blindsided" is one of those times. You see "Penthouse North" is a...

Pixels (2015)
