Movies directed by James Mangold

Cop Land (1997)

104 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

As always I will lay my cards on the table and say that I have always been a fan of Sylvester Stallone and whilst he has appeared in some turkeys is a much greater actor than many give him credit for. So "Cop Land" interested...

Girl, Interrupted (1999)

127 mins     Biography, Drama      

Whilst set in a psychiatric hospital it would be wrong to compare "Girl, Interrupted" to the likes of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", as they are two vastly different movies. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was about big...

Kate & Leopold (2001)

118 mins     Comedy, Fantasy, Romance      

I don't know what I was quite expecting from "Kate & Leopold" as on one hand we have a romantic comedy with Meg Ryan, then we have time travelling sci-fi and then we have fish out of water comedy. Just thinking about the comb...

Starring Christian Bale and Russell Crowe "3:10 to Yuma" is a western remake, updating the classic with stunning modern action and revelling in the depth of the characters....

Knight and Day (2010)

109 mins     Action , Comedy      

I like action movies, I like comedy movies but very few action comedies have really wowed me or wowed me enough to leave much of a lasting impression. It comes down to balance because either the comedy is too forced or the ac...

The Wolverine (2013)

126 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

For me "The Wolverine" should be a make or break movie which takes the popular character of Logan/Wolverine and makes him a true stand alone character. And in fairness it technically does that with a storyline which combines ...
