Mission: Impossible (1996) 65% “It's ultimately disappointingly hollow.” – Birmingham Post May 6, 2025 Full Review Scream 2 (1997) 82% “As sequel rules dictate, the body count and shock quota's a lot higher. Unusually, it's also a lot scarier and funnier too. ” – Birmingham Post Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Tarzan (1999) 90% “Full of depth, colour and a look so lush you can almost smell the vegetation, the forest looks fabulous. The characters, while clearly cartoon, have real life.” – Birmingham Post Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Mulan (1998) 92% “Great for kids, and just as good for the grown-ups, this delivers an emotional resonance, dramatic excitement and visual magic to rank it in the same league Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King.” – Birmingham Post Dec 19, 2024 Full Review The Lion King (1994) 93% “Glorious to behold and featuring a scene-stealing villainous Jeremy Irons as the treacherous Scar, it stakes a mighty claim to the royal ranks of Disney's Elysium of classics. ” – Birmingham Post Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Hercules (1997) 83% “The problem is that, with its scene-stealing wise-cracking turn from Woods and knowing in-jokes about Greek mythology, merchandising, and the like, it seems to be really more concerned about amusing the grown-ups than pleasing the kids.” – Birmingham Post Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Scream (1996) 78% “Craven balances tongue-in-cheek knowing spoofing with a serious contribution to the movies-influence-life debate, while throwing in gruesome murders and shocks for good measure. ” – Birmingham Post Oct 10, 2024 Full Review 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag (1997) 7% “Its cartoon treatment of Mexicans smacks of racism, Comeau's a waste of space, and the farce is the dictionary definition of unfunny.” – Birmingham Post Aug 6, 2024 Full Review One Night Stand (1997) 33% “A moody but disjointed and ultimately insubstantial affair.” – Birmingham Post Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Gallivant (1996) “Too brisk to offer any real depth of perspective and with Kotting increasingly inserting himself into the frame, it's also too long and too irritating for real emotional impact.” – Birmingham Post Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Alien Resurrection (1997) 55% “Nothing's likely to surpass the original, but this comes very close to standing its ground with Aliens.” – Birmingham Post Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Denise Calls Up (1995) 71% “Debut writer-director Hal Salwen has crafted one of the funniest, most original, most perceptive, and maybe most enjoyable films of the year.” – Birmingham Post Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Rainbow (1996) 13% “Unfortunately, the leaden manner in which Hoskins chooses to have his young stars do this is one singularly lacking in pace, humour or anything resembling fun or excitement.” – Birmingham Post Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Twister (1996) 67% “If all you ask from your entertainment is an adrenalin high and hurricane buzz this will blow you away.” – Birmingham Post Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Something to Talk About (1995) 33% “Unfortunately, with the exception of Sedgwick's spirited monopoly on one-liners, all this happens not only with unrelating meandering mundanity and a drab performance from Roberts, but also with the addition of a [pointless] subplot.” – Birmingham Post Mar 29, 2024 Full Review The Brothers McMullen (1995) 88% “A small but engaging, amusing and often touching story that will strike many a chord, whatever your religion, nationality or sibling relationship.” – Birmingham Post Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Seven (1995) 84% “Assessed coolly, it's full of implausibilities, but such is the power of narrative, performance and stylised look and sound, that you're too absorbed to notice.” – Birmingham Post Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Grease (1978) 66% “Even without nostalgia value, the film's sustained its zesty fresh appeal remarkably well.” – Birmingham Post Feb 1, 2024 Full Review Heat (1995) 84% “Heat is a giant of a film, a god among American crime thrillers… Masterpiece is an overused term. Here it barely comes close.” – Birmingham Post Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Institute Benjamenta (1995) 100% “Beautiful and unsettling or dreary and dull, all depending on your view.” – Birmingham Post Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Heavy (1995) 87% “Avoiding sentimentality and defying expectations, Mangold evokes a subdued brooding atmosphere, weaving a poignant rites of passage tale of wounded lives reaching out for but desperately afraid of change.” – Birmingham Post Dec 20, 2023 Full Review The White Balloon (1995) 83% “It's a gentle if slow work and the performances from the non-professional cast are undeniably beguiling.” – Birmingham Post Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Father of the Bride Part II (1995) 54% “Anyone looking forward to a second dose of the first film's frothy bittersweet fun can forget it. This is frighteningly bad.” – Birmingham Post Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Lone Star (1996) 91% “Superbly acted, it's an ambitious, complex, long slow burn that requires your total attention. It's also one of the greatest American movies of the decade.” – Birmingham Post Aug 23, 2023 Full Review The Matrix (1999) 83% “By the time you've reached the end of its breathtaking, mind-popping ride, the last thing you'll want to worry your head about is whether it made any sense.” – Birmingham Post Jul 13, 2023 Full Review
