The American President (1995) 90% 3/5 EDIT “A sweet, if very soft-centred, romantic comedy.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The Celluloid Closet (1995) 96% 3/5 EDIT “Nothing like as preachy as it sounds, with clips from more than a hundred movies, it's a fascinating look at a hidden corner of cinema and contains many surprises, even for the knowledgeable. ” – Daily Mirror (UK) Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Casper (1995) 59% 3/5 EDIT “The acting is largely top notch and, while the plot is undoubtedly silly, it's carried off with such panache you happily suspend disbelief.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Oct 3, 2025 Full Review 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag (1997) 7% 2/5 EDIT “The story doesn't hang together -- it lacks comic invention and is marred by Comeau's uncharismatic acting.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Sep 22, 2025 Full Review My Best Friend's Wedding (1997) 74% 4/5 EDIT “Much as I hate to say it, the film belongs to the casually wisecracking Everett... Without him, this would be a sweet but mundane romantic comedy. With him, the funny scenes are so joyous you don't mind the dull spots.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Sep 22, 2025 Full Review Donnie Brasco (1997) 88% 4/5 EDIT “A superb movie with a brilliant performance by Pacino and some of the best movie dialogue for a long time.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Sep 22, 2025 Full Review Hard Eight (1996) 82% 2/5 EDIT “Essentially, this is little more than a shaggy dog story drawn out to an excessive length.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Sep 22, 2025 Full Review Mortal Kombat (1995) 44% 3/5 EDIT “After the dismal Super Mario Brothers and Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat at last shows that it is possible to make a fair job of turning a computer game into a movie.” – Daily Mirror (UK) Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Lone Star (1996) 91% 4/5 EDIT “No summary can do justice to this deliciously complex interweaving of several lives, both in the present and in the past. ” – Daily Mirror (UK) Aug 23, 2023 Full Review Charley Varrick (1973) 82% 4/5 EDIT “Unlike other crime thrillers of the period, this still seems fresh and invigorating.” – Radio Times Jun 11, 2021 Full Review Grumpy Old Men (1993) 67% 2/5 EDIT “Watching Matthau and Lemmon in this vehicle is sometimes hard to stomach after knowing that they are worthy of so much more.” – Empire Magazine Aug 5, 2020 Full Review
