Search: Starring Kevin Bacon

Apollo 13 is one of my favourite films, it's one of those films that stirs my sense of discovery, as well as plunder our collective dreams.

As the plots begin to coalesce everything becomes far too overwrought.

It's true what they say about violence. Too much and you become immune.

This is a tense and enjoyable genre picture, and one which gets terrific central performances from all involved.

The 'love' on offer in this romcom that marks yet another notch of disappointment on Steve Carrell's career is neither crazy nor stupid, just cynical and schmaltzy by turns.

Death Sentence is a gritty throwback to the films of the Seventies like Death Wish, and it has you rooting all the way for this ordinary man to dish out his own brand of justice.

Friday The 13th is a well made but fairly unremarkable film. What about it could so incense the white male American critic?

It’s Frank Langella’s towering interpretation of Nixon that eventually makes every other character real.

As usual with big budget sci-fi movies, what is missing are characters that live and breathe.

Brought up a notch by a fine cast, some genuinely funny scenes and a curious darker streak that lies beneath the laughs.

Penn is powerful; Bacon is sharp; Robbins is troubled; Fishburne is alert. Having them here is a privilege and a pleasure

If those were the days, boy, they moved slow.

'Pedestrian' is too racy a word to describe it.

A balanced portrait of three people at a difficult juncture in their lives.

Planes, Trains & Automobiles is an eternal tribute to how great Martin used to be before he sold himself out to family movies and how wonderful Candy was as an actor and a person.

Reynolds is the weak element, as usual.

The flaw in David Koepp's film is that it tries to do too much. A little bit of weirdness goes a long way.

At times extraordinarily moving, the film ultimately fails to allow the audience to connect to either the fallen marine or Strobl himself.

Even in the cheapest of zombie films, human bodies have never come apart so easily, nor contained such an abundance of blood. It explodes across the screen at frequent intervals, each one more spectacular than the last.

The action sequences are properly thrilling yet just silly enough to remind us that the film appreciates its cheap and cheerful origins.

A straightforward whodunit, you might think. Sorr - y! This is an Atom Egoyan movie and nothing is ever that simple.

The plot does not stand up to scrutiny and is so full of holes it should sink to the bottom of the Everglades. It doesn't, because it has style.

Kevin Bacon has never been better. His is a masterful central performance that deserves to be seen by as many people as possible.

It's not only the best X-Men film yet, it's a fantastic piece of cinema in its own right.
