You've Got Mail (1998)

"You've Got Mail" is a thoroughly decent attempt to make a modern romantic comedy aimed primarily at the thirty-something plus audience who desire to be entertained with a delightful romantic tale, enhanced by gentle humour, ...

Out of Sight (1998)

123 mins Comedy, Crime, Romance

George Clooney doing what for a while he did better than anyone, charming the pants off of women with that smile, that glint, that air of self belief but with just a big enough crack so that his arrogance isn't over powering....

Forces of Nature (1999)

105 mins Comedy, Romance

"Forces of Nature" wants to be a romantic comedy but not your everyday no brainer romantic comedy but one which is soaked in style and has a depth to its purpose. So whilst it takes two standard ideas of a journey from hell w...

Stuart Little - the adventures of a talking mouse who are adopted by a couple of humans...

Hamlet (2000)

112 mins Drama, Romance, Thriller

Now I have admitted in the past my knowledge of Shakespeare would be an embarrassment to some and that is mainly down to the lousy British education system of the 1980s when they might as well done away with teachers as all w...

Riding in Cars With Boys (2001)

132 mins Biography, Comedy, Drama

Released in 2001 and starring Drew Barrymore in what for me is one of her finest performances, "Riding in Cars With Boys" is a wonderful drama about the turbulent life of a young girl during the 50s which doesn't turn out lik...

Joy Ride (2001)

97 mins Crime, Drama, Horror

Where as some say that John Dahl's "Joy Ride" or "Road Kill" as it is also known is basically a newer version of Steven Spielberg's "Duel" combined with "The Hitcher", I would say that it is more of a movie influenced by both...

Saving Silverman (2001)

90 mins Comedy, Crime, Romance

There are movies which I look forward to and then there are movies which give me an ominous feeling and "Saving Silverman" which is called "Evil Woman" in the UK was one of those ominous movies. And the reason can be put down...

Daddy Day Care (2003)

92 mins Comedy, Family

To put it simply "Daddy Day Care" is Eddie Murphy doing Steve Martin, in fact released in the same year that Steve Martin gave us "Cheaper by the Dozen" it feels almost like a variation on that movie as Eddie Murphy plays an ...

National Security (2003)

88 mins Action , Comedy

"National Security" is an action comedy and being such has the same problems which dog many other action comedies. What do I mean well in between delivering some routine action and equally routine humour there isn't really a ...

Shattered Glass (2003)

94 mins Biography, Drama

Here in the UK the name Stephen Glass probably means less to most than it does in America, maybe even in America his name is not that well known except within the press industry. It means that whilst I read that "Shattered Gl...

Sahara (2005)

124 mins Action , Adventure , Comedy

Before he went treasuring hunting with Kate Hudson in "Fool's Gold" Matthew McConaughey tried is hand treasure hunting in "Sahara" and out of the two "Sahara" is the superior. Having said that "Sahara" is by no means a good e...

Chicken Little (2005)

81 mins Adventure , Animation, Comedy

I guess that for the right age group Disney's "Chicken Little" is entertaining, it looks like it hits the mark but I am clearly not in the movie's intended age group. You see whilst "Chicken Little" is an animation I wouldn't...

Rescue Dawn (2006)

120 mins Adventure , Biography, Drama

I once read in a review that Werner Herzog was God, well maybe that person was a little bit too enamoured with the film maker but it is fair to say that Herzog certainly doesn't make middle of the road movies. Take "Rescue Da...

Management (2008)

94 mins Comedy, Drama, Romance

"Management" is the sort of movie I really enjoy; it doesn't mean it is great but would happily watch again. Why? Well because it tries and often succeeds to walk the line between mainstream and indie romantic comedy deliveri...

Strange Wilderness (2008)

87 mins Comedy

I guess Adam Sandler was either sick or booked up when "Strange Wilderness" went in to production as it features all his cronies in the sorts of roles they would occupy if Sandler was in the lead. That is as interesting as I ...

A Perfect Getaway (2009)

98 mins Action , Horror

What a fun bit of adult horror, I say adult horror because "A Perfect Getaway" plays out like your typical teen horror as we have a couple going hiking on a Hawaiian island only to learn that there have been murders and they ...

94 mins Comedy, Family

When I started secondary school here in the UK Sue Townsend had just published "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13�" the intellectual thoughts and issues of a teenager. Now I don't know whether Jeff Kinney had read any ...
