Basic Instinct (1992)59%
/
2/5
 
"A depressingly formulaic reworking of a unique cult favourite that should have been left well alone. Stick with Rutger." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jun 1, 2007
 
The Hitcher (2007)19%
/
4/5

Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
Boat Trip (2003)7%
/
4/5

Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
Blade 2 (2002)56%
/
4/5
 
"Wonderfully shot in an oh-so-bright colour scheme and laced with a delightful sense of humour, the tale of gunslinger Dum and his childhood sweetheart Rumpoey is a joy." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
Tears of the Black Tiger (2000)76%
/
1/5
 
"Stone the crows! Or is that flog the dead horse? Either way, this is cobblers." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
The In Crowd (2000)2%
/
1/5
 
"It's mangled into an Omen-lite disaster area, thanks to a script torn between making a moral point about cloning and cheap shocks." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jul 3, 2004
 
Godsend (2004)4%
/
3/5
 
"Go see it, laugh and flinch in all the right places, have a ball, but don’t expect to remember this for years to come." -- Empire Magazine
Posted May 14, 2004
 
Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004)85%

Swordfish (2001)26%
/

Mean Streets (1973)98%
/

The Terminator (1984)100%
/
 
"Sadly little more than a (very) poor man's Thelma And Louise." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Feb 23, 2001
 
Beautiful Creatures (2001)37%
/
 
"Vilches and ... Ramallo, both strong thesps, make a good pair and help keep the story from slipping into sleaziness." -- Variety

Cherry Falls (2000)43%
/
1/5
 
"The makers were certainly never aiming for the cerebral, but nonetheless seem happy from the outset to simply cobble together a couple of action staples and hope it'll all work out. Strangely enough, it doesn't." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Chill Factor (1999)7%
/
4/5

Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Dreamscape (1983)78%
/
 
"What plot there is garnishes itself with an array of such like-minded sensibilities that you'd be hard pushed to find much in the way of fault." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)81%
/
 
"Admittedly it is sporadic and at times even rambling, but when it succeeds ... the results are positively haunting." -- Empire Magazine

Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Scary Movie (2000)53%

4/5
 
"An absorbing, touching examination of the loss of innocence that, despite occasionally drifting towards the sappy, undeniably deserves its place in the heart of a generation." -- Empire Magazine

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999)64%
/
