Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde (1995) 11% EDIT “The idea could have been riotously funny, but the most obvious themes... are muffed.” – Independent on Sunday Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The Brothers McMullen (1995) 88% EDIT “Burns is by far its most compelling presence, and the movie can sag when he is off-screen. But it presents glancing insights into repression, the terror of modern relationships, and... the male need for a protective shield.” – Independent on Sunday Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Angels and Insects (1995) 67% EDIT “Haas, with the help of a Nymanesque score and vivid if static photography, efficiently transfers a complex text to the screen without ever quite animating it.” – Independent on Sunday Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Unstrung Heroes (1995) 76% EDIT “What at first seems mere zaniness turns into a poignant commentary on the strategies immigrants use to survive -- the way eccentricity becomes an assertion of identity. ” – Independent on Sunday Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The American President (1995) 90% EDIT “The sharp script is by Aaron Sorkin, whose last screenplay was A Few Good Men. The films are a powerful one-two -- a riveting courtroom drama and a deft comedy. ” – Independent on Sunday Jan 20, 2026 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% EDIT “Surprisingly, the best thing in true Lies is Schwarzenegger. True, the role suits him down to the ground. ” – Independent on Sunday Dec 10, 2025 Full Review The Celluloid Closet (1995) 96% EDIT “The filmmakers put a more optimistic gloss on the current state of Hollywood than many might, praising the advent of such films as Philadelphia. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Free Willy 3: The Rescue (1997) 47% EDIT “Free Willy 3's grind through another imperilled big-fish story confirms that the franchise's ability to provide a whale of a time is long gone.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 22, 2025 Full Review A Simple Wish (1997) 21% EDIT “A Simple Wish fails to make good its winning premise. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 22, 2025 Full Review Shooting Fish (1997) 52% EDIT “It's aiming for a blend of Ealing and Four Weddings and a Funeral, but doesn't quite have the polish of either.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 22, 2025 Full Review Suburbia (1996) 68% EDIT “The movie is clearly in the hoary tradition of The Group. But Bogosian's perfect ear for the characters' gripes and gags, and Linklater's feel for rhythm make it close to a Big Chill for the slacker generation.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 22, 2025 Full Review Hard Eight (1996) 82% EDIT “The movie's sting is in its tail, but its real virtues lie in its character detail and quietly convincing performances. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 22, 2025 Full Review Red Rock West (1993) 95% EDIT “There's no noirish poetry, and the plot, though tight as a glove, doesn't deliver much of a punch. It's humorous pastiche rather than the real thing.” – Independent on Sunday Jul 15, 2025 Full Review I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) 47% EDIT “IKWYDLS is smart, fun and moderately frightening. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jul 15, 2025 Full Review Jurassic Park (1993) 91% EDIT “After his plodding, muddled recent work, this is the abundant, contradictory Spielberg of old: part Peter Pan, part Hitchcock, part Harryhausen, part Wizard of Oz. He regains some of his excitement and grandeur.” – Independent on Sunday Jul 1, 2025 Full Review The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) 57% EDIT “An extended fright-ride of a movie, lurching from one set-piece of suspenseful terror to the next. It's by no means a great film, but unmistakably the film of a great director. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jun 30, 2025 Full Review A Simple Twist of Fate (1994) 48% EDIT “Makes little of the book's symbolism, but captures the redemptive delight the adopted child brings to the miser.” – Independent on Sunday Jun 24, 2025 Full Review The Quick and the Dead (1995) 62% EDIT “A sassily written western about a fast-draw contest, with smart performances from Sharon Stone and Leonardo DiCaprio, and a stunning, if familiar, diabolic turn by Gene Hackman.” – Independent on Sunday Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Fresh Bait (1995) EDIT “A return to form for Bertrand Tavernier. ” – Independent on Sunday Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Carrington (1995) 58% EDIT “The aesthetic of feeling and truthfulness is made to seem honourable but deluded. But there are also hints of a more forceful, engaging movie that got lost.” – Independent on Sunday Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Apollo 13 (1995) 94% EDIT “It may be our prior knowledge of the mission's safe outcome that saps the suspense. Or, perhaps, it is due to Howard's inability to convey much of the wonder or terror of moon-travel. But Apollo 13 is at its dullest when it should be most thrilling.” – Independent on Sunday Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible (1996) 67% EDIT “It is classy entertainment.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 6, 2025 Full Review Never Talk to Strangers (1995) 19% EDIT “[Never Talk to Strangers] isn't as suspenseful as an evening with Hitchcock, but just about diverting enough. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Trojan Eddie (1996) EDIT “There is a relentlessness to Billy Roche's script which leaves us feeling as if we've spent a couple of hours having our faces ground into the dank Irish soil. Strong writing and acting struggle to compensate.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Space Jam (1996) 44% EDIT “Here we have the reliance on special effects, the mixture of cheap moralising and confected mythology that passes for a plot, the triumph of merchandising over art.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 22, 2025 Full Review
