Groundhog Day (1993) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Ironically, given the theme of the film, this never gets old. Winning performances, and respect for the comedic value of the script delivers laughs every time.” – Empire Magazine Dec 7, 2022 Full Review Clueless (1995) 82% 4/5 EDIT “Scratch below the shiny exterior, though, and what emerges is something altogether more clever, as much a sharp, satirical parody of the affluent as it is hip, sassy entertainment dressed in designer labels.” – Empire Magazine Mar 16, 2021 Full Review The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) 78% 4/5 EDIT “Vastly enjoyable despite the syrupy, soppy song bit in the middle (go make a glass of mulled wine during it). Michael Caine is perfect in the role and there are many genuine belly laughs.” – Empire Magazine Nov 19, 2019 Full Review 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) 72% 3/5 EDIT “With the finest source material around given a modern zing, this teen comedy is somehow tried and true, but fresh all at the same time.” – Empire Magazine Jan 28, 2019 Full Review The Object of My Affection (1998) 53% 3/5 EDIT “Unashamedly a chick-flick, but no less enjoyable for it.” – Empire Magazine Dec 28, 2018 Full Review The Craft (1996) 57% 3/5 EDIT “Still, with suitable suspension of disbelief this makes for agreeable enough nonsense.” – Empire Magazine Dec 6, 2018 Full Review The Others (2001) 84% 4/5 EDIT “In a way, The Others finishes what The Blair Witch Project started -- once again reminding us that unseen forces often make for the scariest, most memorable cinematic experiences. It's certainly true if this is anything to go by.” – Empire Magazine Oct 29, 2018 Full Review Victoria & Abdul (2017) 65% EDIT “Ultimately, Victoria and Abdul may not have the Oscar-friendly weight of that film - but if you're after an engaging, entertaining historical drama that teaches you something you never knew before, then this one will certainly fit the bill.” – metro.co.uk Sep 15, 2017 Full Review The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) 64% 3/5 EDIT “Slow start, senstational ending: a decent job. No The Lord Of The Rings, but no The Phantom Menace either.” – metro.co.uk Sep 1, 2017 Full Review Sid & Nancy (1986) 89% 4/5 EDIT “It's a hard film to watch at times, as Vicious plunges deeper into his heroin-induced slump, but told with skill and compassion, which make up for the onscreen squalor.” – Empire Magazine Aug 9, 2016 Full Review Ghostbusters (2016) 74% 3/5 EDIT “While there's no denying that the film has had a bit of a rocky path to the screen -- already winning the dubious accolade of having the most hated trailer of all time on YouTube -- the good news is that the new Ghostbusters isn't as bad as all that.” – metro.co.uk Jul 11, 2016 Full Review She's the One (1996) 63% 3/5 EDIT “A pleasant package then, easy on the eye, and gently charming but, like The Brothers McMullen, one which places Burns as a comfortable rather than cutting-edge moviemaker.” – Empire Magazine Apr 8, 2014 Full Review Nobody's Fool (1994) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Nobody's Fool is an unprecedented treat, populated with charming, believable characters and a parting shot so beautiful even the hardest of hearts will melt helplessly at its sight.” – Empire Magazine Oct 29, 2013 Full Review Muriel's Wedding (1994) 82% 3/5 EDIT “There's a high enough feelgood factor here to compensate for the detours off the comedy highway.” – Empire Magazine Apr 9, 2012 Full Review The Birdcage (1996) 84% 3/5 EDIT “It undoubtedly remains a genial crowd pleaser. If the dress fits, wear it.” – Empire Magazine May 29, 2011 Full Review A Little Princess (1995) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Soppy and girlish in the extreme, this should keep even the tiniest viewer rapt, while all too many adults may fall victim to an inexplicable bout of eye-watering long before the closing credits.” – Empire Magazine May 27, 2011 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% 4/5 EDIT “Proves that throwing everything at the camera sometimes works a treat.” – Empire Magazine May 24, 2011 Full Review Hackers (1995) 34% 3/5 EDIT “A plot thinner than an LCD monitor doesn't prevent the bombastic fun, and the young cast help it hurtle along.” – Empire Magazine Jan 14, 2011 Full Review Mother (1996) 87% EDIT “Reynolds is in sparkling form and the script teems with painfully truthful ironies.” – Empire Magazine Oct 7, 2010 Full Review Rush Hour (1998) 62% 2/5 EDIT “By the book buddy-buddy movie. This is a weakly scripted parade of set-pieces which aren't as exciting as regular Jackie Chan films.” – Empire Magazine Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Yellow Submarine (1968) 96% 4/5 EDIT “A garish, gorgeous example of pop art at its finest.” – Empire Magazine Sep 2, 2008 Full Review The Brady Bunch Movie (1995) 63% 4/5 EDIT “This is enormous fun, one of the best TV adaptations to date, and guaranteed to provoke a nostalgic misty eye and mischevious grin in anybody who's ever owned a crimplene tank top.” – Empire Magazine May 20, 2008 Full Review Airplane! (1980) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Surely, this is essential. Maybe, but don't call me Shirley, etc.” – Empire Magazine Apr 1, 2008 Full Review Circle of Friends (1995) 77% 3/5 EDIT “An enchanting, if denture-rottingly sweet, yarn.” – Empire Magazine Mar 11, 2008 Full Review Puccini for Beginners (2006) 48% 3/5 EDIT “It's amiable enough but there's nothing on show to make it stand out from the average rom-com.” – Empire Magazine Oct 26, 2007 Full Review
