The Bunker (2001) Movie Review
I’ve always been more than a little perplexed by movies that require an exclusively American cast to use a “foreign” accent even if the entire movie is in English. I’ve always thought, “Well, if they’re speaking English and we the audience are supposed to assume that they’re speaking in their character’s native tongue, why in [...]

It’s no surprise that “Bend It Like Beckham” is coming to American theaters sometime later this year after a successful run in its native England. It’s one of those “feel good” hits that will pull in the same crowd that gave repeat business to the surprise hit of 2002, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.” Like [...]

I won’t try to hide the fact that I find the whole “Harry Potter” franchise to be a tad underwhelming, if not just a little bit too juvenile in most of the things it does. The first “Harry Potter” movie did not exactly thrill me, and perhaps it was just a bit too long for [...]

I believe the reason “About a Boy” is so good is because it’s hard to peg the movie into any (or any couple of) categories. It’s not exactly a Comedy, since there’s very little laugh out loud moments. It’s not exactly a Romance because a love interest for Huge Grant’s Will doesn’t appear onscreen until [...]

The British Sports in Prison movie “Mean Machine” is a remake of the American Sports in Prison film “The Longest Yard,” about convicts who uses a game of football to get back at their prison guards. “Mean Machine” replaces football with, well, football (only the international kind, meaning soccer to all you Americans out there). [...]

There is something insanely enjoyable about Paul McGuigan’s English crime film “Gangster No. 1.” Aside from the rather oddball title, the movie brings a fresh perspective to the Rise and Fall of the Gangster genre by treating its subject matter — the unnamed “Gangster” of the title, played here by two actors in two different [...]

“Intimacy” is the kind of film that you never see being made in America. This could be for a number of reasons, from the average American’s belief that anything with vast amounts of nudity should be rated XXX (or that mind boggling NC-17) or be tossed into the frozen wasteland of late-night cable television. It’s [...]

Besides being incredibly lacking in originality, scares, or even those small guilty pleasures I always manage to find in any Slasher film, the new British Slasher flick “Long Time Dead” doesn’t even have the decency to flash some T&A in my direction. How utterly…lacking. Or pathetic, might be the right word.
“Long Time Dead” is [...]
Dog Soldiers (2002) Movie Review
The new British Werewolves Attack film Dog Soldiers is most interesting for fans of American horror films who have ever entertained this thought: “Gee, I wonder how other countries would approach these [insert film subgenre here] movies?” Dog Soldiers is a Werewolves Attack film with elements of a Last Stand in a Haunted House. Filmed [...]

Michael Apted’s Enigma is a World War II suspense/mystery and concerns the British’s attempts to break the German code machine called Enigma. The American World War II movie U-571 breached the same subject, but from an action-adventure point of view. Enigma is written by Tom Stoppard, who adapted from a novel by Robert Harris.
