North (1994) 12% 3/4 EDIT “The film drowns in its own cuteness.” – Birmingham Mail Jan 24, 2026 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% 4/4 EDIT “It is Arnie who stands tall as he firmly stomps a heel on the memory of Last Action Hero. ” – Birmingham Mail Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Red Rock West (1993) 95% EDIT “Almost any film starring Nicolas Cage is guaranteed a degree of eccentricity, and this is made even more wildly off-beat by casting Dennis Hopper as a Texan gun for hire.” – Birmingham Mail Jul 16, 2025 Full Review Jurassic Park (1993) 91% EDIT “Steven Spielberg's new monster movie Jurassic Park is the stuff nightmares are made of. After seeing the first British screening yesterday, I found myself shaking as much as when I watched Jaws nearly 20 years ago.” – Birmingham Mail Jul 1, 2025 Full Review The Lion King (1994) 92% 4/4 EDIT “The overall feel of the film is magnificent -- from the sweeping opening to the joyful finale, and from the lovingly crafted scenery to Elton John's Afro-tinged soundtrack. ” – Birmingham Mail Dec 19, 2024 Full Review The Hawk (1993) 3/4 EDIT “The film never escapes its origins as a TV movie. It has a fairly bleak down-at-heel look which doesn't translate well to the large screen.” – Birmingham Mail Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Aladdin (1992) 96% 4/4 EDIT “A roller-coaster ride of rapid fire gags, improvisations and songs, with Williams changing his character so swiftly he must have left the Disney animators begging for mercy.” – Birmingham Mail Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Ladybird, Ladybird (1994) 80% 3/4 EDIT “Rock dominates every scene in a film which makes you feel like screaming at the unfairness of it all.” – Birmingham Mail Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Forrest Gump (1994) 75% 4/4 EDIT “As sweet and satisfying as a slice of apple pie, Forrest Gump is just about as wholesome.” – Birmingham Mail Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Pulp Fiction (1994) 92% 4/4 EDIT “Stylistically this is a blast from the past of cheesy cop series married to the in-your-face appearance of an adult comic book. The dialogue is as sharp as the killers’ suits.” – Birmingham Mail Feb 28, 2024 Full Review Hard-Boiled (1992) 92% 3/4 EDIT “Beneath all the murder and mayhem, there's actually a reasonable story trying to get out, told with not a little wit.” – Birmingham Mail Jul 27, 2023 Full Review Boys on the Side (1995) 73% 3/4 EDIT “Herbert Ross's articulate weepie also boasts wrenchingly flawless performances from its trio of stars -- Whoopi Goldberg, Mary-Louse Parker, and Drew Barrymore.” – Birmingham Mail Mar 14, 2023 Full Review Taken 2 (2012) 22% 2/5 EDIT “I doubt bets will be taken on there being a "3".” – Birmingham Post Oct 3, 2012 Full Review Killing Them Softly (2012) 74% 4/5 EDIT “Hopefully it will be the start of enduring partnership because [Dominik] could be Scorsese to Pitt's De Niro/DiCaprio, Soderbergh to his Clooney.” – Birmingham Post Sep 19, 2012 Full Review Anna Karenina (2012) 63% 2/5 EDIT “We marvel not at what it is, but what it could have been.” – Birmingham Post Sep 5, 2012 Full Review A Few Best Men (2011) 16% 2/5 EDIT “There are no real belly laughs and it lacks the sureness of touch and character of other Australian comedies.” – Birmingham Post Aug 30, 2012 Full Review The Dark Knight Rises (2012) 87% 4/5 EDIT “The Dark Knight Rises certainly isn't the low note of a Godfather III, but a fitting end to the franchise.” – Birmingham Post Jul 19, 2012 Full Review Ill Manors (2012) 77% 3/5 EDIT “Low budget director Drew has an eye for cityscapes and a finely-tuned feel for the mostly untrained cast.” – Birmingham Post Jun 13, 2012 Full Review Fast Girls (2012) 83% 3/5 EDIT “Predictable as the day is long, but it certainly makes a massive change from the usual crime-infested gangster movies set in London.” – Birmingham Post Jun 13, 2012 Full Review Red Lights (2012) 30% 3/5 EDIT “Red Lights has an interesting premise and Weaver is on top form at the start.” – Birmingham Post Jun 13, 2012 Full Review A Fantastic Fear of Everything (2012) 34% 3/5 EDIT “Something of a curate's egg, the film seems to be a little bit of everything and not enough of anything...” – Birmingham Mail Jun 8, 2012 Full Review The Lucky One (2012) 20% 2/5 EDIT “This is romance by numbers and though not execrable, it's a movie for a wet Friday afternoon on the telly.” – Birmingham Post May 2, 2012 Full Review The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Fincher maintains a steady tension throughout. He also adds his own tweaks to the twists at the end.” – Birmingham Post Dec 21, 2011 Full Review Cowboys & Aliens (2011) 44% 3/5 EDIT “For all its A-list ingredients of concept, cast and director, the resulting mash-up is merely a superior B-movie, as uncertain a fusion as potato on a pizza.” – Birmingham Post Aug 18, 2011 Full Review X-Men: First Class (2011) 86% 5/5 EDIT “Vaughn and his co-scriptwriters temper the tension and the spectacle of the big set pieces with dashes of humour that will have the fanboys chuckling...” – Birmingham Post Jun 2, 2011 Full Review
