Crossroads

A movie that tries to pass off the lyrics to “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” as poetry. And that’s just ONE example of how bad it is.

A Beautiful Mind

Calling it a “Beautiful” Mind seems a tad self-indulgent – but it’s certainly a bloody good one.

Reservoir Dogs

The movie that laid the groundwork for the bigger and better Pulp Fiction – but it’s also none too shabby in its own right.

Buffalo Soldiers

A bit like the joke “What’s the difference between a buffalo and a bison?”, try not to take this film too seriously. The answer, in case you’re wondering, is “You can’t wash your face in a buffalo.”

Out Of Sight

A cool, sharp and entertaining crime caper.

Get Carter

Caine's talents are wasted in this over-rated underworld drivel.

Black Christmas

Less 'Black Christmas' than 'Cack Christmas'. I wouldn’t watch this again if you promised me a lifetime supply of selection boxes.

Peter Pan

Not up to the standard of the Disney version, but magnificently put together and just about exciting enough to satisfy viewers of all ages.

Below

A totally unremarkable underwater creepfest.

Scrooged

A seriously entertaining spin on the Dickens classic. Guaranteed to be a welcome stocking filler for any Bill Murray fans worth their salt.
