The Song Remains the Same (1976) 40% 3/5 EDIT “Fans will enjoy.” – Radio Times Aug 31, 2025 Full Review John Grisham's The Rainmaker (1997) 82% 4/5 EDIT “Grisham's scenarios often feel contrived and mechanical, but with Coppola forgoing the usual serpentine plotting in favour of emotional depth and well-rounded characters, this is courtroom cinema at its very best.” – Radio Times Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Galaxy Quest (1999) 90% 5/5 EDIT “Cleverly executed and the characters so beautifully fleshed-out that it not only succeeds as a Trek spoof, a satire on the acting profession and a parody of science-fiction fans, but also as an engaging, original space saga in its own right.” – Radio Times Jul 22, 2024 Full Review The Gift (2000) 57% 3/5 EDIT “Although essentially by-the-numbers stuff, the lack of emphasis on digital effects is refreshing and Reeves's ferocious turn is a real eye-opener.” – Radio Times Feb 9, 2024 Full Review The Sum of All Fears (2002) 58% 4/5 EDIT “The intelligent twists and taut pacing ensure entertaining, albeit occasionally uncomfortable, viewing.” – Radio Times Feb 9, 2024 Full Review The River (1984) 27% 2/5 EDIT “If you like water, however, you won't be disappointed.” – Radio Times Apr 17, 2020 Full Review Liar Liar (1997) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Carrey's frenzied physical and vocal contortions provide lots of amusing comic moments, as well as a few riotous ones, and the role is not only tailor-made for his rubber-faced antics but also gives him an opportunity to show a more human side.” – Radio Times Apr 7, 2020 Full Review Moon 44 (1990) 17% 1/5 EDIT “Over-plotted, cliché-ridden and highly derivative, this mining mess certainly benefits from Emmerich's talent for getting every dollar on screen, and both the effects and production values belie its origins.” – Radio Times Jul 15, 2019 Full Review Billy Madison (1995) 40% 3/5 EDIT “While not in the same league as The Wedding Singer, it's still enjoyably dumb fun, especially for Sandler fans.” – Radio Times Mar 31, 2019 Full Review Teen Wolf (1985) 46% 3/5 EDIT “As the unfortunate teenager, the ever-engaging Michael J Fox is doing what he does best - turning a loser into a winner.” – Radio Times Mar 26, 2019 Full Review The Craft (1996) 57% 3/5 EDIT “The glossy style and neat visual effects combine with a few genuinely creepy moments to make this above-average genre fare, though the full-on sorcery showdown belongs in another movie.” – Radio Times Dec 6, 2018 Full Review The Castle of Cagliostro (1979) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Directed with cinematic style and pace.” – Radio Times Feb 16, 2018 Full Review Love Actually (2003) 65% 3/5 EDIT “Aside from all the hearts and flowers, though, it's Bill Nighy's uproarious turn as an over-the-hill rocker promoting a novelty record that really delivers the laughs.” – Radio Times Sep 17, 2016 Full Review Universal Soldier: The Return (1999) 5% 1/5 EDIT “Watching a bunch of dull characters hurtling through a plate glass window about 50 times is neither inventive nor exhilarating, proving perhaps that ex-stunt co-ordinators shouldn't be allowed a stab at feature film directing.” – Radio Times Jul 27, 2014 Full Review Bad Boys II (2003) 23% 2/5 EDIT “By the end, you're past caring who kills whom and just want to escape from this smug, sadistic nonsense.” – Radio Times Jun 6, 2014 Full Review L.A. Confidential (1997) 99% 5/5 EDIT “This superlative filming of James Ellroy's complex 1950s detective story by director Curtis Hanson fuses period authenticity, fluid direction and searing, full-blooded performances.” – Radio Times Jun 4, 2014 Full Review The Bad News Bears (1976) 97% 3/5 EDIT “A small winner.” – Radio Times May 6, 2014 Full Review Elf (2003) 85% 3/5 EDIT “Dressed in a snug green outfit throughout and dispensing decorations, sugary snacks and a beaming grin, Ferrell is the life and soul of an otherwise unexceptional Christmas celebration.” – Radio Times Dec 4, 2013 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) 95% 5/5 EDIT “It's darker and more urgent than the opening segment, and Jackson again displays an unparalleled grasp of storytelling on a grand scale.” – Radio Times Nov 19, 2013 Full Review Office Space (1999) 82% 3/5 EDIT “This unconventional satire of work relationships and office politics is one of the oddest studio comedies in years.” – Radio Times Nov 2, 2013 Full Review The Bad News Bears Go to Japan (1978) 6% 1/5 EDIT “Aside from Tony Curtis's star turn as a greedy hustler who takes charge of the titular Little Leaguers, there's little of note in this lifeless, pointless second sequel.” – Radio Times May 29, 2013 Full Review Solo (1996) 8% 2/5 EDIT “There are too many moments of unintentional comedy caused by the ropey macho dialogue and the hammy performances of bad guys William Sadler and Barry Corbin.” – Radio Times May 28, 2013 Full Review
