Trainspotting (1996) 90% 5/5 EDIT “An unprecedented and unrivalled piece of entertainment.” – Empire Magazine Jun 26, 2013 Full Review Waiting for Guffman (1996) 90% 4/5 EDIT “The songs (co-written by Guest and Tapster Harry Shearer) are suitably ridiculous and the deadpan gags come thick, fast and too numerous to mention, all delivered with knuckle-gnawing subtlety by the C-list cast with A-list style.” – Empire Magazine Aug 12, 2008 Full Review The Rugrats Movie (1998) 60% 3/5 EDIT “Fun for kids, but, despite some adult references, appeal for the over 10s is limited.” – Empire Magazine May 20, 2008 Full Review The Night of the Iguana (1964) 75% 4/5 EDIT “Brilliant, apart from some minor plot glitches.” – Empire Magazine May 5, 2008 Full Review Shutter (2004) 61% 3/5 EDIT “If some of the shocks come off feeling as dated as last summer's Polaroids, it's a small price to play for a picture that manages to be scary and unsettling without resorting to cheap thrills and gore.” – Total Film Jun 29, 2007 Full Review Looking for Richard (1996) 85% 4/5 EDIT “Pacino has made an informative, engrossing and hugely enjoyable movie that stands as a work of pure entertainment, almost as powerful as its inspiration.” – Empire Magazine Jan 15, 2005 Full Review Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) 70% 4/5 EDIT “The film is too long at well over two hours, but the effects are impressive for the time and the musical numbers zippy.” – Empire Magazine Nov 2, 2003 Full Review Kes (1969) 100% 5/5 EDIT “Unforgettable when it first appeared 30 years ago, Kes remains something of a landmark.” – Empire Magazine May 28, 2003 Full Review Das Boot (1981) 98% 5/5 EDIT “Masterful.” – Empire Magazine Feb 5, 2002 Full Review Batman & Robin (1997) 11% 2/5 EDIT “Both plot and audience attention span stretch to breaking point.” – Empire Magazine Jan 16, 2002 Full Review EDIT “” – Empire Magazine Sep 25, 2001 Full Review The Cable Guy (1996) 57% 3/5 EDIT “The mix of light comedy and really quite dark themes proved too much for many viewers, but this is worth a look for Broderick's performance and Carrey's obsessive touches.” – Empire Magazine Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Gattaca (1997) 82% 2/5 EDIT “Far easier to look at than actually watch.” – Empire Magazine Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Sling Blade (1996) 96% 5/5 EDIT “It will make you laugh and cry. And it will make you think long and hard about the last time you saw a movie this good.” – Empire Magazine Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Contact (1997) 69% 4/5 EDIT “Less sci-fi blockbuster, more spiritual thinkpiece, this is a Close Encounters Of The Third Kind for the X-Files generation.” – Empire Magazine Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Jude (1996) 80% 4/5 EDIT “This is as gruelling and heart-rending as the novel but the superb cast manage to make the suffering compelling.” – Empire Magazine Jan 1, 2000 Full Review The Ghost and the Darkness (1996) 51% 3/5 EDIT “You will jump out of your seat then wince at every kill, but you won't leave the cinema thinking you've seen a classic.” – Empire Magazine Jan 1, 2000 Full Review The Gauntlet (1977) 75% 2/5 EDIT “It's telling that the film is still only truly memorable for the closing five minute bulletfest, which turns Clint's bus into the only thing with more holes in it than the screenplay.” – Empire Magazine Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Fled (1996) 19% 2/5 EDIT “Big dumb fun, for sure, but not big and clever.” – Empire Magazine Jan 1, 2000 Full Review
