North (1994) 12% EDIT “The overview of American parenthood and ethnic stereotypes is patronising and the satire of sitcomland too familiar to raise more than a wan smile.” – London Evening Standard Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Misery (1990) 87% EDIT “What happens in director Rob Reiner's thriller, scripted by William Goldman, may not be plausible. But it sure is gripping, and physically painful, too, to watch.” – London Evening Standard Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Bite the Bullet (1975) 69% EDIT “It's effective entertainment.” – London Evening Standard Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The Magnificent Seven (1960) 93% EDIT “The Magnificent Seven is a rare kind of Western.” – London Evening Standard Jan 15, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% EDIT “... A Few Good Men produces many cracking good moments of entertainment. The fail-safe construction of the plot is a model of man-made drama. It spoils nothing to say that the performances eventually outgun the message.” – London Evening Standard Jan 8, 2026 Full Review *batteries not Included (1987) 55% EDIT “The movie has a start-stop feel to it that could only be solved by a "Fast Forward" switch.” – London Evening Standard Jan 7, 2026 Full Review The Princess Bride (1987) 93% EDIT “Rob Reiner directs the William Goldman screenplay with relish and respect. It will keep you laughing happily ever after (or half-an-hour at least). ” – London Evening Standard Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Death Race 2000 (1975) 80% EDIT “It is an energetic piece of Pop cinema.” – London Evening Standard Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Man Friday (1975) 43% EDIT “A spirited and provocative film.” – London Evening Standard Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% EDIT “In the mechanised set-pieces, the stunts and the bits of business, like the stuffed crocodile which seems like a hangover from Spielberg's Jaws, human feeling totally vanishes.” – London Evening Standard Dec 19, 2025 Full Review The Abyss (1989) 76% EDIT “Director James Cameron is at home among the state-of-the-art gizmos, but he goes badly adrift as the movie converts itself into a magical mystery tour of the sea bottom designed to reassure us terrestrials that Somebody Down There Likes Us.” – London Evening Standard Dec 10, 2025 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% EDIT “James Cameron, the writer-director, has no notion of how to make a marital comedy at the same time as a James Bond-type thriller. ” – London Evening Standard Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) 91% EDIT “Terminator 2 is violent, yes. But the magical effects created by five separate companies skilled in computer graphics, pyrotechnics, miniatures, animatronic make-up and optical illusions do wonders for the overkill.” – London Evening Standard Dec 8, 2025 Full Review A Christmas Carol (1984) 98% EDIT “Tony Imi's photography encompasses every tone in the tale from the everyday to the supernatural -- and never, never makes the tinselly mistake of offering us merely a Christmas Card.” – London Evening Standard Dec 4, 2025 Full Review The Wiz (1978) 38% EDIT “I'm afraid there's "zzz" in it as well "fizz."” – London Evening Standard Nov 17, 2025 Full Review Predator (1987) 64% EDIT “Like many a big simple picture - not to mention a big simple star like Schwarzenegger - Predator is a hand-finished job of dazzling body-work even if there's not much inside it.” – London Evening Standard Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Predator 2 (1990) 36% EDIT “Directed by Stephen Hopkins, it looks better than it really is, which is only another mindless body-count score-board from producer Joel Silver.” – London Evening Standard Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Dracula (1979) 64% EDIT “This is a delectable Dracula.” – London Evening Standard Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Desert Hearts (1985) 77% EDIT “Two forceful actresses, Helen Shaver and Patricia Charbonneau, cover up the sentimentality with candor. ” – London Evening Standard Oct 12, 2025 Full Review My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) 95% EDIT “Social historians will have to reckon with it; but mere filmgoers should not postpone the pleasure it offers. It is provocative, illuminating, funny and tragic.” – London Evening Standard Oct 10, 2025 Full Review The Celluloid Closet (1995) 96% EDIT “The film is fair as far as it goes.” – London Evening Standard Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Tron (1982) 60% EDIT “You don't expect much humanity in a video game but director Steven Lisberger's dazzling simulation of an electronic universe is bleak -- and deafening.” – London Evening Standard Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Hard Times (1975) 72% EDIT “It is an exercise in machismo virility directed by Walter Hill with careful attention to the look of the times, but rather less to the look of the fighters who universally finish their bouts... without a bruise of bloody nose or broken tooth.” – London Evening Standard Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Boogie Nights (1997) 91% EDIT “[Mark Wahlberg] gives the sort of performance that simply requires a ruler run over it. Fortunately, the film itself is bigger than its star part. Even one enhanced -- the word is out -- by a prosthetic. ” – London Evening Standard Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Night of the Living Dead (1990) 57% EDIT “The grungy make-up looks like a job lot that fell off the back of a second-hand hearse.” – London Evening Standard Sep 18, 2025 Full Review
