Fearless (1993) 86% 4/5 EDIT “A brilliant, daring film, starring actors at the very top of their game.” – Empire Magazine Dec 3, 2023 Full Review Quest for Camelot (1998) 43% 4/5 EDIT “Energetic, pacey and funny with tons of great fights. What more could any six-year-old want?” – Empire Magazine Aug 10, 2020 Full Review Free Willy (1993) 71% 3/5 EDIT “Despite a clichéd plot and some ropey performances, this is still a well-made and entertaining children's film.” – Empire Magazine Aug 4, 2020 Full Review Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home (1995) 50% 3/5 EDIT “Goes for the heartstrings and, to an extent, hit them hard.” – Empire Magazine Aug 3, 2020 Full Review Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) 51% 3/5 EDIT “It's fun and frantic, although the wit falls way short.” – Empire Magazine Apr 25, 2014 Full Review Ghost (1990) 74% 4/5 EDIT “One of the finest (and weepiest) love stories ever to hit the big screen, Ghost is a a fundamental human tale that touches the hardest heart.” – Empire Magazine Jun 25, 2013 Full Review Twins (1988) 43% 2/5 EDIT “The film feels, rather than the solid comedy it is, like a massive missed opportunity.” – Empire Magazine May 6, 2008 Full Review Driving Miss Daisy (1989) 85% 4/5 EDIT “It gets to its hugely emotional destination without ever having to put the foot down; a poignant and provocative road movie.” – Empire Magazine Feb 20, 2008 Full Review Misery (1990) 86% 4/5 EDIT “There are a few holes in the plot, mainly towards the end, but from start to harrowing finish, it is blissfully apparent that Rob Reiner can indeed turn his hand to virtually anything.” – Empire Magazine Sep 25, 2007 Full Review Casino (1995) 79% 5/5 EDIT “It may not be Scorsese's greatest work, but this guy feeling a little off-colour is still far, far better than most people on fighting-fit form. It only gets more impressive as times goes on.” – Empire Magazine Jul 6, 2005 Full Review Batman Returns (1992) 82% 4/5 EDIT “Burton continues to capture the essence of the Batman legend and more importantly his audiences imagination.” – Empire Magazine Jan 16, 2002 Full Review Anastasia (1997) 83% 3/5 EDIT “A charming little movie, nothing to write home about but a perfectly acceptable way to while away a rainy Sunday afternoon with the child, or children, in your life.” – Empire Magazine Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Fly Away Home (1996) 87% 4/5 EDIT “It's a genuine delight and a definite thumbs aloft for kids of about six upwards.” – Empire Magazine Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) 92% 4/5 EDIT “The guerilla Brit Pack filmmakers currently at work may be young and thrusting, but Four Weddings proves that there is no substitute for sheer professionalism and, most importantly, a first-rate script.” – Empire Magazine Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Lady and the Tramp (1955) 91% 4/5 EDIT “With cracking music, a rollicking pace and dialogue that stands up to scrutiny, Lady and the Tramp really is among Walt's very best.” – Empire Magazine Jan 1, 2000 Full Review The Crucible (1996) 72% 5/5 EDIT “In this almost perfect screen adaptation, the lingering question is the most important one: what caused such madness?” – Empire Magazine Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Falling Down (1993) 75% 4/5 EDIT “While the morality of D-Fens methods are questionable, there's a resonance about his reaction to everyday annoyances, and Michael Douglas' hypnotic performance makes it memorable.” – Empire Magazine Jan 1, 2000 Full Review
