Gunfire and violence alone dont equate to a good story – its not funny, its not clever, its not sexy, and its not remotely interesting. It is one thing though complete rubbish.
Drama
Forrest Gump
A marvellous, warm-hearted and funny take on American life, seen through the eyes of a character devoid of cynicism and virtually impossible to copy.
Being John Malkovich
Curiouser and curiouser and very, very funny.
Tears Of The Sun
A fairly well executed actioner with plenty for war flick fans to salivate over but theres gotta be a nicer way for Brucey to pay the bills until Die Hard 4?
Matchstick Men
Just when the confidence trick film seemed to have breathed its last, Ridley Scott has come along and given it new life by expanding its horizons. Not just a pretty scam (although it certainly is that), but also a redemptive drama whose deeply flawed central character is allowed to develop and change. Not a world changer, but far more intelligent and moving than 'Gladiator'.
Calendar Girls
A nicely-acted Brit-com, but unfortunately its also unavoidably dull.
