Review of Contact (1997)

By E L (691) on 28 Jul 2012

Highly enjoyed this film, because it seemed grounded in reality - the science and the dangerous weirdos. Sadly underrated…

Review of Before Night Falls (2000)

By E L (691) on 28 Jul 2012

Boring, pretentious and illogical, Bardem's performance and a cameo by Johnny Depp are the only reasons to watch this…

Review of Apollo 13 (1995)

By E L (691) on 28 Jul 2012

Competent, but some of these blockbuster types, with their traditional values-affirming storylines, leave me cold…

Review of The Onion Movie (2008)

By E L (691) on 28 Jul 2012

Fondly reminiscent of 70s skit films like the Kentucky Fried Movie, there are some savagely satirical skits interspersed with highly ridiculous…

Review of A Chinese Ghost Story III (1991)

By E L (691) on 28 Jul 2012

The weakest of the three, and completely rejigged but with the same actors and names. Costumes and hairdos are a riot…

Review of The Age of Innocence (1993)

By E L (691) on 28 Jul 2012

Gorgeous sets, but quite slow and deliberate. So repressed it's almost suffocating…

Review of The Sound of Music (1965)

By E L (691) on 28 Jul 2012

Hah! What can I say? It's a part of everyone's childhood, squeaky clean, with singable songs…

Review of After School (2008)

By E L (691) on 28 Jul 2012

A great thriller full of twists and turns, with a quiet and deadpan humour. Approach with no expectations and you'll be surprised…

Review of Vibes (1988)

Oh dear Lord, we don't see enough of Cyndi Lauper's acting skills, even though she can only do one kind of role, and that is of a broad from…

Review of Major League (1989)

By E L (691) on 28 Jul 2012

Japanese anime consistently manages to use outlandish plot devices to express and illustrate heart-warming themes…

Review of A League of Their Own (1992)

By E L (691) on 28 Jul 2012

A bit soapy but the historical premise this is based on is quite intriguing and interesting - watch out for the ending…

Review of 21 Grams (2003)

By E L (691) on 28 Jul 2012
