90 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

Movie Review - Any Mother's Son (1997) Bonnie Bedelia stars as a mum dealing with not just her son's death but also discovering that he was homosexual and that his death is being covered up due to it being a hate crime by som...

At the Mercy of a Stranger (1999)

96 mins     Drama, Thriller, TV Movie      

What would you do if a strange man told you he had been hired to kill you? Maybe you would scream and run, maybe laugh and think it's a poor joke or maybe panic and loose control of your bodily functions. But of course that i...

X-Men 2 (2003)

133 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

Following the crowd pleasing success of "X-Men" it's no surprise that "X-Men 2" or "X2" as it's also known was produced, especially as the original whilst a good movie felt like a precursor to a sequel with its emphasis on bu...

Terry (2005)

100 mins     Biography, Drama, Sport, TV Movie      

Movie Review - Terry (2005) Shawn Ashmore stars as amputee Terry Fox in this biopic about his Marathon of Hope to raise money for cancer research by running across Canada...

X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)

104 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

So after two strong "X-Men" movies delivered impressively by director Bryan Singer, along rolls the third and maybe final movie in the franchise "X-Men: The Last Stand". But sadly Bryan Singer didn't roll along with it being ...

The Ruins (2008)

90 mins     Horror, Thriller      

I have a problem with "The Ruins" and it is rather strangely who its target audience is because here we have a movie which starts with 4 young people enjoying themselves by the pool and then partying in the evening. It makes ...

Solstice (2008)

91 mins     Horror, Mystery, Thriller      

Everything about "Solstice" screams cliche as we have friends staying in a summer house, strange goings on, shadows which move, communications from beyond the grave and even a creepy old local. Basically as I watched "Solstic...

Diverted (2009)

96 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

As a rule I have tried to avoid movies about 9/11 for a variety of reasons but the ones I have seen have tended to be gritty dramas. "Diverted" whilst another movie about 9/11 certainly can't be accused of being gritty with i...

Frozen (2010)

93 mins     Drama, Horror, Thriller      

Whilst 2010 saw Danny Boyle give us survival horror "127 Hours" it was not the only survival horror to be released that year there was also "Frozen". The two movies are a little similar in concept because in "Frozen" we have ...

Mother's Day (2010)

112 mins     Horror, Thriller      

If I told you that "Mother's Day" is a remake of a movie from the 80s I doubt it would come as a shock as whilst the original low budget movie of the same name is lesser known the whole home invasion storyline has been done t...

The Day (2011)

87 mins     Action , Drama, Horror      

Maybe it wasn't the first but in 2009 "The Road" gave us an over-saturated, washed out look at a post apocalypse America and now in 2011 we have "The Day" which does the same with its washed out, grey imagery of a bleak futur...

The Barrens (2012)

94 mins     Horror      

I don't know what I was expecting when I sat down to watch "The Barrens" which also goes by the more obvious name of "Devil in the Woods". Yes the alternate time is suggestive and I recognized director Darren Lynn Bousman's n...

X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)

132 mins     Action , Adventure , Fantasy      

Hugh Jackman looking ridonculously ripped with his kit off. That I guarantee is one of those things you will never forget if you chose to watch "X-Men: Days of Future Past". The other is that they have employed this time trav...
