Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) 86% 3/5 “What a peculiar but effective children’s adventure movie this is.” – Empire Magazine Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Postcards From the Edge (1990) 83% 2/5 “The comedy-drama is trying to capture its drama element, but the film stays as a curio, all their jagged banter feels movie-like, a mockery, rather than tragic.” – Empire Magazine Apr 29, 2024 Full Review The Last of the Mohicans (1992) 88% 5/5 “The Last Of The Mohicans manages a remarkable double life. It is pure escapism, traditional heroics writ huge. Yet it is also realistic, each and every inch imbued with authenticity and conviction.” – Empire Magazine Dec 15, 2023 Full Review Cocoon (1985) 82% 3/5 “The sugar level is positively diabetic, but the whole aura of warmth and cuddliness is hard to resist.” – Empire Magazine Nov 12, 2023 Full Review Ladyhawke (1985) 67% 4/5 “Here is the kind of elaborate, gothic tragedy that fuels Germanic operas and Heavy Metal ballads — the lovers who can remain together but forever be apart.” – Empire Magazine Oct 13, 2023 Full Review JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass (2021) 64% 3/5 “Skilfully prodding and probing at the edges of America's greatest crime scene, Oliver Stone reinforces the argument that this was far from an open-and-shut case.” – Empire Magazine Nov 22, 2021 Full Review On Golden Pond (1981) 91% 4/5 “Definitely soppy in places but also genuinely moving.” – Empire Magazine Aug 18, 2021 Full Review Twister (1996) 67% 4/5 “Like all white-knuckle rides, once you're done you fancy doing it all over again.” – Empire Magazine May 7, 2021 Full Review Innerspace (1987) 82% 4/5 “It doesn't have the dark edge of Joe Dante's other works, but brilliant performances by Martin Short and Meg Ryan make it a joy from start to finish.” – Empire Magazine Aug 6, 2020 Full Review The Day of the Jackal (1973) 91% 4/5 “Outstanding on almost every level.” – Empire Magazine Apr 24, 2020 Full Review The Vikings (1958) 77% 3/5 “Proper Hollywood overblown Viking adventure with not a shred of authentic detail but lots of glam and ham.” – Empire Magazine Mar 17, 2020 Full Review Outbreak (1995) 59% 4/5 “Petersen pulls off the thrills at a stomach lurching pace, and with its requisite Hollywood ham...” – Empire Magazine Mar 16, 2020 Full Review The Great Mouse Detective (1986) 78% 4/5 “The genuinely witty and endearing disney animation that everyone forgets.” – Empire Magazine Nov 12, 2019 Full Review The Dark Crystal (1982) 78% 4/5 “The Dark Crystal has an ethereal alien quality to its startling visions, far removed from the Earth-bound contours of traditional fairy tales.” – Empire Magazine May 2, 2019 Full Review Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985) 33% 2/5 “Reappraisal is not due.” – Empire Magazine Apr 17, 2019 Full Review Die Hard With a Vengeance (1995) 60% 3/5 “Die Hard With A Vengeance is better than Die Hard 2, but not as good as the peerless original.” – Empire Magazine Apr 2, 2019 Full Review Billy Madison (1995) 41% 1/5 “Where Dumb And Dumber was clever enough to play dumb to amuse the child in all of us, this suffers under the illusion that just having a central character blissfully unaware of the need for a brain is actually a funny concept.” – Empire Magazine Mar 31, 2019 Full Review Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970) 37% 4/5 “We've been there, done that, and bought the plastic orang-utan figurines.” – Empire Magazine Mar 26, 2019 Full Review Every Which Way But Loose (1978) 42% 3/5 “Clint doing roughneck humour with an orang-utan, what's not to like?” – Empire Magazine Mar 26, 2019 Full Review Orca (1977) 8% 1/5 “A cheap and tacky attempt by producer Dino De Laurentiis to cash on the phenomenon of Jaws.” – Empire Magazine Mar 26, 2019 Full Review Willow (1988) 52% 3/5 “Willow is not without its charms -- the effects are more than special, the set-pieces suitably epic -- but it just doesn't fulfill the promise of certain other fantasy films.” – Empire Magazine Dec 6, 2018 Full Review Species (1995) 42% 3/5 “Despite the ridiculous premise and casting this is still a pacey little sci-thriller.” – Empire Magazine Dec 3, 2018 Full Review Rocky II (1979) 70% 3/5 “By the punishing heft of the big fight, there is the clear hint that the series will soon plunge into an unpalatable patriotic fervour. For now, though, with its leathery texture of working class Philly-life it felt enough like reality.” – Empire Magazine May 30, 2018 Full Review Battlestar Galactica (1979) 35% 3/5 “Although evidently a rip-off - there were hints of Lucas even taking the matter to the courts - this spacebound wagon train, whose limits are readily apparent, is great fun.” – Empire Magazine May 11, 2018 Full Review Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979) 25% 2/5 “The only redeeming facet in the whole sappy adventure, is Erin Gray's schoolboy fantasy Wilma Deering... But even here the script is too coy and childish to allow sex appeal to reach the stars.” – Empire Magazine May 9, 2018 Full Review
