  • Beautiful Creatures (2000)
    Review preview for Beautiful Creatures

    The body count is Shakespearean and the plot twists wicked.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4 out of 5
    Pitch black comedy about an unlikely friendship.
  • Complicity (1999)
    An investigative journalist discovers people in his articles are being bumped off by a serial killer.
  • The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
    Swashbuckling adaptation of Dumas' story of a vengeful count.
  • Local Hero (1983)
    Review preview for Local Hero

    In retrospect, Local Hero can be seen as a high point for all concerned.

    Jeff Robson · 4 out of 5

  • Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
    Review preview for Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
