Movies starring Steven Mackintosh

Blue Juice (1995)

90 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

I suppose it is understandable, you are a total surfing nut who loves anything to do with the sport and you see "Blue Juice" with its story of a surfer in Cornwall and think great, well Cornwall not great but surfing great. E...

The Land Girls (1998)

111 mins     Drama, Romance, War      

"The Land Girls" is one of those movies which are less concerned about telling a story but capturing a period in history, that period is 1941 and World War II with women working on the farms whilst men went off to fight. That...

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)

107 mins     Crime, Thriller      

I hadn't watched "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" since it came out but having recently watched "Smokin' Aces" I had this burning desire to watch it gain. Now I mentioned "Smokin' Aces" because it is in some ways similar...

The Other Boleyn Girl (2003)

90 mins     Drama, Thriller      

I was surprised when I watched the 2008 movie "The Other Boleyn Girl" as this sort of costume drama is not my thing yet I was entertained by it. It is because of that I was less reluctant to watching the 2003 movie "The Other...

The Aryan Couple (2004)

120 mins     Drama      

Over the last couple of decades there have been some very powerful movies which deal with the Holocaust but let me tell you now that "The Aryan Couple" is not one of them. In fact it is because of these other powerful movies ...

The Daisy Chain (2008)

89 mins     Drama, Horror, Thriller      

It doesn't take a movie buff to recognize "The Daisy Chain" as it is one of those movies featuring a child who might be behind a series of creepy events. In a way the familiarity of the basic creepy child story is the movie's...

Good (2008)

92 mins     Drama, Romance, War      

Euthanasia, the Nazi Regime, civilian naivety, friendship with a Jew and an affair. Those are 5 big elements in the movie "Good", or should I say they should be 5 big elements in the movie "Good". Unfortunately the power of e...

The Scouting Book for Boys (2009)

93 mins     Drama, Thriller      

For me her name was Sam, she was the girl I was best friends with as a young teen who I secretly loved and could picture one day marrying but she broke my heart when she started dating. It's a familiar story of growing up and...

The Great Ghost Rescue (2011)

95 mins     Family, Fantasy, Horror      

On paper I like "The Great Ghost Rescue", the idea that there are all these homeless ghosts wandering the planet because their haunts have been flattened to make way for new developments is almost clever. The trouble is that ...

The Sweeney (2012)

112 mins     Action , Crime, Drama      

Let me cut to the chase, in fact a car chase scene in "The Sweeney" where the team from "Top Gear", yes Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, helped create and their names appear in the credits as stunt performers. ...

Elfie Hopkins (2012)

89 mins     Horror, Thriller      

I reckon a better title for "Elfie Hopkins" would be "Nancy Drew Too Hard" as this is one odd ball British horror movie which keeps you watching not so much because it is entertaining or engaging on an itellectual level but b...

Kick-Ass 2 (2013)

103 mins     Action , Comedy, Crime      

The original "Kick-Ass" left me torn in two because whilst the movie worked I didn't dig the violence in relation to a young girl. And I thought that was going to be the same when it came to the sequel "Kick-Ass 2" but nope i...
