1/5
Angels and Insects (1995) Quentin Falk Though the sex is steamy and Kensit's dark secret a shocker, it all turns out to be exquisitely boring.

2/5
Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde (1995) Quentin Falk Hardly hilarious, just slapstick and rather smutty.

The American President (1995) Quentin Falk A thoroughly entertaining and thought-provoking romantic comedy-drama.

The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) Dick Richards Out of this world stuff about a giant flying saucer...

8/10
Gaslight (1944) Norah Alexander A bit slow, and very creepy. It introduces Angela Lansbury, a lass to watch.

Confessions of a Nazi Spy (1939) Joyce Jeffreys It is engrossing, strong, vital stuff.

Death Race 2000 (1975) Madeleine Harmsworth It is both thrilling and thought-provoking.

3/5
Final Analysis (1992) Madeleine Harmsworth A taut psychological thriller, Final Analysis cleverly uses psychiatry as its background.

The Doctor (1991) Madeleine Harmsworth A superbly sensitive performance by Hurt and an excellent screenplay make this a deeply moving film.

4/5
At Play in the Fields of the Lord (1991) Madeleine Harmsworth Stunning scenery and an impressive cast provide a telling story of greed and religion.

2/5
Hook (1991) Madeleine Harmsworth By making Peter Pan grow up, Spielberg loses the poignancy of Barrie's timeless tale. The glitzy cast is left floundering.
Posted Dec 18, 2025  Edit critic review
True Lies (1994) Quentin Falk True Lies is two-fisted fun, with Arnie forming a wonderful double-act with his working partner [Tom Arnold]
Posted Dec 10, 2025  Edit critic review
The Terminator (1984) Madeleine Harmsworth Much of the film's impact is lost in an excess of violence.
Posted Dec 08, 2025  Edit critic review
The Wiz (1978) Madeleine Harmsworth Anyone who remembers the Wizard of Oz will be bewildered by the Wiz.
Posted Nov 17, 2025  Edit critic review
Dracula (1979) Madeleine Harmsworth Director John Badham and his marvellous cast subtly convey the story's underlying and disturbing eroticism as well as its obvious malevolence.
Posted Oct 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Desert Hearts (1985) Madeleine Harmsworth A film made mostly by women, about women. Blessedly, it is impressive.
Posted Oct 13, 2025  Edit critic review
My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) Madeleine Harmsworth The love between Omar's rich opportunist uncle and his glamorous aging white mistress is exquisitely observed.

4/5
Casper (1995) Ian Lyness Kids will love the visual surprises, while there's a smattering of witty lines to keep parents amused.
Posted Sep 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Toy Story (1995) Quentin Falk Toys will be toys and for anyone who enjoyed pitched battles with plastic soldiers and crating bizarre faces with Mr. Potato Head, Disney's latest extravaganza is a fun-filled feast.

4/5
Darkman (1990) Madeleine Harmsworth It successfully combines the spectacle of Superman with the sentiment of Phantom of The Opera.

2/5
Predator 2 (1990) Quentin Falk No amount of glossy violence can disguise that this is a deeply shallow sequel.
Posted Aug 26, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Nine Months (1995) Quentin Falk It would be good to report that this frantic farce is so brilliant that it puts all those blazing headlines in the shade but frankly the real-life story of Hugh's drive-by is a lot funnier than this contrived comedy.
Posted Aug 19, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Clueless (1995) Quentin Falk Here's a smart twist on the 90210 set and it's not difficult to see why young Ms Silverstone has become such a star.
Posted Aug 19, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Mortal Kombat (1995) Quentin Falk The action is explosive, the special effects fun, the dialogue ludicrous and you'll probably go along with our hero Cage when he asks "I give up, what's going on?" Don't ask!
Posted Aug 19, 2025  Edit critic review
Waterworld (1995) Quentin Falk Waterworld proves to be a lavish, stunt-packed epic.
Posted Jul 28, 2025  Edit critic review
The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) Madeleine Harmsworth Most of the jokes are expertly delivered by a straight-faced cast headed by Leslie Nielsen.
Posted Jul 24, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Navy SEALS (1990) Madeleine Harmsworth A simple-minded slice of jingoistic propaganda.
Posted Jul 22, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991) Madeleine Harmsworth Among the many happy lunacies in The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear is an hilarious scene set in a blues night-club for the suicidally depressed.

3/5
Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992) Keith Richmond The script is daft, but the Hell On Earth special effects are stunning.
Posted Jul 15, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Red Rock West (1993) Quentin Falk A clever, if complicated, black comedy-thriller.
Posted Jul 15, 2025  Edit critic review
Superman: The Movie (1978) Madeleine Harmsworth When he's swirling like a bird round New York scryscrapers, or shooting like a cannonball to save the day, the film is fun. But when we trace the character's origins it becomes slow, tedious and silly.
Posted Jul 08, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Baraka (1992) Quentin Falk The stunning, if overlong, visual essay on the current state of our planet uses every kind of gimmick, including slow-motion and time-lapse techniques. Quite mind-boggling.
Posted Jul 01, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Jurassic Park (1993) Quentin Falk Trailing more hype than any other movie in recent memory, Jurassic Park delivers monstrous special effects on an extraordinary scale. And it's scaly enough to satisfy even the most hardened dino-buffs.

5/5
Lady and the Tramp (1955) Quentin Falk It may be more than 40 years old, but this is still one of Disney's best-ever films.
Posted Jun 30, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Remember Me? (1997) Quentin Falk With such a fine comedy cast and a script by farce master Michael Frayn, this super-annuated small-screen sitcom should have been a lot funnier and a lot less frenzied.
Posted Jun 30, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) Quentin Falk What Steven Spielberg achieves in tension with a slowly cracking sheet of glass has to be seen to be believed.
Posted Jun 30, 2025  Edit critic review
Supergirl (1984) Madeleine Harmsworth The talents of Faye Dunaway, Peter Cook and Brenda Vaccaro are wasted.

3/5
The Quick and the Dead (1995) Quentin Falk All the Western clichés are here, but they are served up so entertainingly that you almost feel you're seeing them for the first time.

Carrington (1995) Quentin Falk It's a powerful and sexy portrait of a golden age before and after The Great War.

5/5
Apollo 13 (1995) Quentin Falk Not so much a movie, more a breathtaking simulation, it comes closer than any other film in recreating the awesome power and excitement of space travel.
Posted Jun 24, 2025  Edit critic review
The Gold Rush (1925) Walter Webster The Gold Rush contains many passages of delicious comedy, but the laughs are, like pearls on a cotton thread, strung on an inadequate melodrama, and are so widely spaced that at times you felt a Keystone comedy had been stretched out to ten reels.
Posted Jun 24, 2025  Edit critic review
Return to Oz (1985) Albert Jacobs Technical feats such as a wise-cracking hen and rock faces that turn into talking human faces do not compensate for a lack of enchantment.
Posted Jun 17, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) Quentin Falk The refreshed bits are pretty minimal except for a new, improved finale that is now extremely spectacular.
Posted Apr 25, 2025  Edit critic review
The Final Countdown (1980) Madeleine Harmsworth The carrier has the power to divert history. But should it be done? For most of the film, this issue is sustained with surprising intelligence. Only the ending is something of a letdown.
Posted Apr 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) Madeleine Harmsworth The long-awaited sequel to Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, is even more imaginative than its predecessor.

2/5
Trojan Eddie (1996) Quentin Falk Slow-moving, gloomy and sporadically violent.

2/5
Space Jam (1996) Quentin Falk Not even state-of-the-art technology can stop this vanity project turning into a shameless parade of product placement and backslapping -- not to say endless high fives.

5/5
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) Quentin Falk The force is still with Star Wars.
Posted Apr 22, 2025  Edit critic review
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) Madeleine Harmsworth Somewhere among the millions of pounds and hard-spent effort a story to engage the likes of you and me has been lost, or forgotten.

Rancho Deluxe (1975) Madeleine Harmsworth Rancho Deluxe is an amiable movie.
