 Reviews

Peter Bradshaw: The problem is that Nick isn't all that interesting… despite this film's earnest and baffled attempts to turn him into Charlie Sheen, the awful truth is that he was a plump, bespectacled nerd from a dull and comfy Hertfordshire town more...

Peter Preston: Dearden's a plodding, static director who, predictably enough, can make nothing of his own plodding, static script more...

Ten Things I Hate About You (1999, 15, Buena Vista, VHS/Rental, DVD/Retail) more...

The War Zone | The Polish Bride | Rogue Trader | Wing Commander more...
