---|---|---|---|
4/5 | 100% | I Know Where I'm Going! (1947) |
One of the greatest (and sadly most forgotten) romantic comedies ever, which has not a cracking script, but some trademark-terrific visuals. - Empire Magazine

4/5 | 47% | My Fellow Americans (1996) |
Okay, so it's Midnight Run meets All The President's Men, but the Lemmon-Garner rapport is dynamite and the glittering support cast of Lauren Bacall, Dan Aykroyd and John Heard are given sparkling dialogue. - Empire Magazine

5/5 | 100% | The Public Enemy (1931) |
Still a classic of the gangster genre, showing neither glorifying the life nor pulling its punches. - Empire Magazine

4/5 | 100% | The Philadelphia Story (1940) |
Excellent casting, a great storyline and a shrp script mean that this remains a classic of the genre and one of Katherine Hepburn's best roles. - Empire Magazine

B | 56% | The Santa Clause 2 (2002) |
This Disney film is exactly what is needed now to get into the holiday spirit. Its theme that you are never too old to believe is a positive message that can be used in any situation. - Houston Chronicle

4/5 | 89% | The Spanish Prisoner (1997) |
David Mamet has really stumped us this time. This, his fifth film as writer-director, is his most mainstream work to date, but it also happens to be his cleverest, craftiest and most conniving. - Empire Magazine

3/5 | 49% | Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) |
Visually incredible and blessed with great performances from Depp and Del Toro, this is destined for cult classic status - but the plot and symbolism are less impressive. - Empire Magazine
