Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) 54% 4/5 “...the writing's infantile; the acting's okay; the effects and illusions are wonderful.” – Liverpool Echo Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Scream 2 (1997) 82% “It's a two pronged game of creeps and cretins, where the tingle factor relies on sudden bursts of hammy stock horror action, rather than any prolonged exploitation of tension. ” – Liverpool Echo Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Tarzan (1999) 90% 4/5 “As a package it's skillfully devised and could only have been improved had someone dissuaded Phil Collins from chipping in every five minutes with a drum-heavy number.” – Liverpool Echo Dec 20, 2024 Full Review The Lion King (1994) 93% “Technically, it's a triumph for the expertise of 600 artists who have created a big screen adventure which fully exploits the very latest advances in computer graphics. ” – Liverpool Echo Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Beauty and the Beast (1991) 95% 5/5 “Great songs and show routines give the whole concept a pace and a buzz which should turn it into a fave rave.” – Liverpool Echo Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Scream (1996) 77% “Here is a high concept horror movie for the 90s. It'll shock you and rock you. ” – Liverpool Echo Oct 12, 2024 Full Review Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) 69% “[Coppola] has turned a structured novel into a crazy roller-coaster of expensive effects in a failed attempt to serve up the thinking man's bucket of giblets. ” – Liverpool Echo Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Alien Resurrection (1997) 55% “As latest director Jean-Pierre Jeunet does his best to inject a little garlic into a tried and tested recipe, there is the added benefit of water: the creature has added swimming to its capabilities.” – Liverpool Echo Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Alien 3 (1992) 44% 4/4 “Once again, the squelching horror thrives in tunnels and shafts. The resultant effect from director David Fincher, making his feature film debut, is one of unrelenting claustrophobia. ” – Liverpool Echo Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) 92% 4/5 “The greatest achievement is how director Mike Newell has milked afresh all those clichéd rituals -- from the best man's speech to the funeral oration -- and turned them into the high art of indiscretion.” – Liverpool Echo Feb 29, 2024 Full Review Pulp Fiction (1994) 92% 4/5 “[Reservoir Dogs] was virtually a theatre piece: a drama in situ and on a real time scale, placed before a camera. Pulp Fiction, on the other hand, is ludicrously cinematic full of technical tricks and time warps.” – Liverpool Echo Feb 28, 2024 Full Review Home Alone (1990) 66% 4/5 “What you get here is far more escapist than scary. ” – Liverpool Echo Nov 29, 2023 Full Review White Men Can't Jump (1992) 75% 2/5 “Even as a Black/White buddy picture it falls far short of other examples of late.” – Liverpool Echo Aug 30, 2023 Full Review Godzilla (1998) 20% 3/5 “Whereas [Independence Day] had 15 minutes of special effects, this is 140 minutes of nothing but techno tricks. ” – Liverpool Echo Feb 14, 2023 Full Review The Big Lebowski (1998) 80% 4/5 “There are those who will find this no more than the Coens playing clever with an odd assortment of characters and Hollywood homage spoofs. Yet what they are actually playing with is cinema itself.” – Liverpool Echo Jan 20, 2023 Full Review Titanic (1997) 88% 5/5 “The movie, however, is a triumph of truly titantic proportions. Proof that directors and actors can work alongside computer-generated effects without being swamped by the technology.” – Liverpool Echo Mar 17, 2022 Full Review
