Disturbing Behaviour (1998)

84 mins     Horror, Mystery, Sci-Fi      

"Stepford Wives", "Village of the Damned", "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and "The Faculty" were all movies which sprung to mind as I sat through "Disturbing Behaviour" a teen horror flick which offers up nothing new, notew...

88 mins     Crime, Drama, TV Movie      

The "Jesse Stone" movies have continually impressed me and the 4th movie "Jesse Stone: Sea Change" is no different as it continues to be interesting and entertaining. But there is something quite clever about "Jesse Stone: Se...

August Rush (2007)

88 mins     Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

So here we are at the 5th "Jesse Stone" movie and the first which wasn't based upon a Robert B. Parker novel. But the good thing is that you wouldn't know because "Jesse Stone: Thin Ice" has exactly the same style of the prev...

Iron Man 3 (2013)

130 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi
