RoboCop 2 (1990) 31% EDIT “Robocop 2 has all the attributes of the comic book movie. You are not expected to believe a word of it and you've forgotten most of it three days after seeing it. It's also highly enjoyable.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Mar 11, 2026 Full Review Braveheart (1995) 74% EDIT “Altogether, as epics go, Braveheart is worthy of a skirl of the pipes and a toast in Glenmorangie. ” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Six Degrees of Separation (1993) 88% EDIT “A highly intelligent and immensely enjoyable film that leaves you with lots to think about.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Apollo 13 (1995) 92% EDIT “Tense, thrilling and superbly made, Apollo 13 is likely to become one of the box office successes of the year.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Feb 27, 2026 Full Review French Kiss (1995) 46% EDIT “It's sad to see Lawrence Kasdan, the director of Body Heat and The Big Chill, descending to the banal depths of French Kiss.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Feb 23, 2026 Full Review Jade (1995) 18% EDIT “The sound acting by the principals can't conceal the fact that the screenplay is sadly unoriginal. ” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Feb 23, 2026 Full Review Funny Bones (1995) 60% EDIT “A comedy that strikes me as an unmitigated disaster but which has apparently attracted a small coterie of ardent fans. ” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Feb 23, 2026 Full Review The Postman (1994) 92% EDIT “The success of the film, a tale of the triumph of the simple over the sophisticated, is due largely to the lovely performances by the three principals.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Feb 23, 2026 Full Review Gladiator (2000) 80% EDIT “The real revelation is Joaquin Phoenix as Commodus. Nothing in his career to date gave a hint of the subtlety and control he brings to the part of the cold, misanthropic emperor.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Chocolat (2000) 63% EDIT “Director Lasse Hallström keeps this amiable comedy bubbling merrily, getting likeable performances from Juliette Binoche, Lena Olin, Alfred Molina, British actor John Wood, and Hugh O'Conor.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Pretty in Pink (1986) 75% EDIT “A sticky mass of cliches aimed at the teen market. ” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Misery (1990) 86% EDIT “Tightly and wittily scripted by William Goldman, Misery is a tense and sophisticated thriller that never misses a beat.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Stand by Me (1986) 88% EDIT “River Phoenix and Wil Wheaton are particularly good, catching the basic sympathy that exists between boys of that age.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Jan 14, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% EDIT “The courtroom scenes are gripping, the complexities of the plot (screenplay by Aaron Sorkin from his play) well controlled. And Jack Nicholson lights up the screen with his rage and bitterness and his final bluster. ” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Death Race 2000 (1975) 80% EDIT “It is an original, funny, fully realised film which blends black humour and science fiction into a crazy witch's brew.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Dec 22, 2025 Full Review The Doctor (1991) 81% EDIT “It holds the interest but hasn't a lot in the way of profundity.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% EDIT “We are left in no doubt that money was thrown at this production, which is not necessarily a bad thing: little Steven's latest box of magic tricks should enthrall the youngsters most of the time.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Dec 19, 2025 Full Review The Celluloid Closet (1995) 96% EDIT “A sporadically impressive documentary. ” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Darkman (1990) 80% EDIT “The whole thing is wildly over the top and to some extent played for laughs, but the gimmickry dominates and it's not really funny enough.” – Sunday Independent (Ireland) Aug 26, 2025 Full Review
