Search: Starring Michael Madsen

It is faint praise to say that it's pleasant enough, but faint praise is what I can muster.

I think this is the best film made about the Mafia.

Stone emphasises the loss of innocence to an extent beyond credibility.

[Brosnan is] put through his paces by Maori director Lee Tamahori and comes out of it stirred, but not shaken.

With beautifully drawn relationships and a fine central performance, The Garden Left Behind takes frequently politicised subject matter and reminds us of the human side of it.

Tarantino flexes his trash thrashed imagination and vomits forth the guts of a serial killer's darkest desires

Kill Bill is, ultimately, a throwaway film, a popcorn classic, fun but forgettable - yet it knows this, and goes about its business with a rare energy.

The work of a consummate fanboy, who continues to show little sign of being willing to engage with the world beyond the movie screen, or otherwise mature as a filmmaker.

The substance doesn’t match the over-abundance of style.

Its success is in large part down to Maczko.

Roger Corman may not be directing any more but his influence as producer can be felt throughout this cheap and cheerful creature feature.

Tarantino's talent for dialogue is what catapults Dogs into instant-classic status.

The movies that David Zucker and Co are choosing to lampoon are already confined to the trash bin of history, thus rendering the film mostly purposeless.

The plot has no tolerance for logic and the dialogue is of the 'She's frustrated' 'Who isn't?' variety.

The slimy creature effects package (guts explosion) is becoming increasingly yukky.

More raging dull than raging bull.

The fact that this film still gets people talking, and arguing, nearly 20 years on, is surely an argument for its quality and relevance.

For all its black humour, sexiness and intrigue, The Winner is lacking something in the final analysis.
