Disclosure (1994)59%

" Wise (and Crichton) concoct the most absorbing, riveting take on science fiction tempered with science fact." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Nov 5, 2008
 
The Andromeda Strain (1971)61%
/
4/5
 
" Crichton is after a giggly quality as if it’s being told as a pub yarn, soaked in exaggeration and acute trickery to defeat impossible hurdles, while never far from redoubtable moral lesson." -- Empire Magazine

The Great Train Robbery (1979)78%
/
4/5
 
" If No Country For Old Men was vintage port, Burn After Reading is a shot of tequila: eye watering and hard to swallow, but the after-effect is terrific." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Oct 17, 2008
 
Burn After Reading (2008)79%
/
4/5
 
" It can’t quite muster an explosive third act to match previous jaunts, but Moore had got his feet under the table." -- Empire Magazine

A View to a Kill (1985)39%

Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Appaloosa (2008)76%
/
3/5
 
" This light satire is unlikely to influence the forthcoming election, but Costner’s in fine fettle." -- Empire Magazine

Cannonball Run (1981)31%
/
2/5
 
" The first of the silly VW Beetle with a cute personality comedies, is as childish dated and occasionally sweet as the others." -- Empire Magazine
Posted May 5, 2008
 
The Love Bug (1969)77%
/
2/5
 
" For four hours this moody, glossy pantomime leadenly plods on, saying much more about the hubris and excess of old-time Hollywood thinking than the burnished glories of an ancient world." -- Empire Magazine
Posted May 5, 2008
 
Cleopatra (1963)45%
/
3/5
 
" You might admire it as a Warholian blur of pop art, gawp and gasp at its Hot Wheels-for-real dynamism, or get a headache." -- Empire Magazine
Posted May 5, 2008
 
Speed Racer (2008)37%
/
4/5
 
" A brainless, breathless thrill." -- Empire Magazine

Diamonds Are Forever (1971)66%
/
3/5
 
" Another mean, violent and decently acted slab of Ellroy-flavoured criminality, with an impressively battered Keanu Reeves, but Ayers is no Curtis Hanson." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Apr 18, 2008
 
Street Kings (2008)36%
/
4/5
 
" Quite possibly Ferrara's finest hour, with an almost unbearably sincere performance from Keitel." -- Empire Magazine

Rocky IV (1985)44%
/
5/5
 
" It's a slight tale, of course, and incredibly short, but the characters and songs are pretty much perfect viewing time and again." -- Empire Magazine

Posted Feb 19, 2008
 
The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)95%
/
4/5
 
" Still regarded as one of the steamiest movie's of all time, Body Heat is a fantastic exponenet of how noir has developed." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Feb 8, 2008
 
Body Heat (1981)97%
/
2/5
 
" Good idea to cast the brat pack in a Western but this was badly realised and altogether a bit flat." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Feb 4, 2008
 
Young Guns (1988)40%
/
5/5

Dan in Real Life (2007)66%
/
4/5
 
" You'll have your work cut out keeping track of Haynes' dotty intentions, but there remains something compelling in his mercurial art." -- BBC
Posted Dec 21, 2007
 
I'm Not There (2007)78%
/
3/5
 
" Best to see them as individual films with nothing in common apart from source material, one a classic, the other a strong enough picaresque amongst some decent fabulation." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Dec 12, 2007
 
Return to Oz (1985)58%
/
5/5
 
" As black, sinful and nasty as a weekful of Hitchcocks, this is as fresh and intoxicating now as it was back then. In a word: deadly." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Nov 6, 2007
 
Blood Simple (1984)98%
/
3/5
 
" The film, for all Lean’s innate elegance, is strangely remote and unmoving. It could easily have been a Merchant-Ivory film." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Nov 6, 2007
 
A Passage to India (1984)86%
/
5/5
 
" An extraordinary and visionary study of a legendary murderer’s famous fate, within touching distance of Oscars." -- Empire Magazine

Posted Oct 16, 2007
 
All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)97%
/
4/5
 
" Irresistable comedy from one of Hollywood's greatest pairings." -- Empire Magazine

Adam's Rib (1949)100%

Posted Oct 10, 2007
 
Ratatouille (2007)96%
/
4/5
 
" Kubrick's superb version of William Thackery's first novel is meticulous and philosophically stimulating but it can leave some audiences unmoved on an emotional level." -- Empire Magazine
