Deep Rising
Monday 16th September 2002 18:27
This movie is one I keep coming back to again and again. Not because it has any intelligently crafted characters or storyline, but it's one of those "guilty-pleasure" videos that I dig into when I feel the need to turn the brain off...

Dial 'M' for Murder
Monday 4th October 2004 7:56
Dial ‘M’ for Murder thoroughly tests the talents of Hitchcock as a director, especially with the main character with the most screen time being the so-called villain of the plot.

Die Hard 2: Die Harder - Special Edition
Thursday 2nd August 2001 22:46
In 1988, John McClaine proved that ordinary men die hard. In Die Hard 2, McClaine is going to prove that he will die harder! Another great DVD set from Fox proves that the studio is committed to the DVD format.

Donnie Brasco: Special Edition
Friday 19th October 2001 2:38
A few years ago, I would say I went through a mafia-themed movie kick, where anything and everything I watched had to be based on Mafia stories, fiction and non-fiction alike. I found the subject matter fascinating and compelling because of the fact that
