Search: Starring Ron Perlman

It's a challenging genre to take on - one in which it's difficult to deliver surprises or present complex characters - but Stamm has acquitted himself well.

Neeson does his best to bring something different to the character, to make it more than just a retread of his work in Martin Campbell’s Memory, but he’s up against it.

The sheer unexplained terror of the Aliens is more than enough to make them watchable.

Much more complex than it appears on the surface, this is a film full of multi-layered characters powered by great performances, addressing familiar cinematic subjects with a voice of its own.

Simple in its form, this film is nonetheless engaging throughout, shot through with interesting anecdotes and observations about what was going on behind the scenes.

Imagination breaches the boundaries of wonder

This is a work of originality without precedent, unique and unsafe.

Fans of this type of fare will find plenty to like, but the final article remains a bit of a missed opportunity, never quite climbing the spectacular heights the character deserves.

Drive is cool. Really cool. In fact this will probably be the coolest film you will see this year.

There is meat and crunch and intelligent plotline.

What does it mean to be a real boy? Perhaps the answer doesn’t lie in flesh and bone.

Is this Frank Capra Goes To Sundance? Almost. The sentiment surely flows.

Hellboy holds his head high above the mass of superhero characters thanks to a terrific performance by Ron Perlman.

Cinema is full of monsters, but few in recent memory have been so capable of eliciting our sympathy and understanding.

The charm levels are high

Boll mistakes unexplained action for plot and hammy dialogue for exposition.

Monaghan and Fessenden are cast perfectly and have a great onscreen rapport, reminding me of a re-vamped Abbott and Costello.

The Mutant Chronicles is a mutant film, apparently stitched together from the still-steaming corpses of others.

The Name Of The Rose presents the Dark Ages at their very darkest.

From its first kindlings it draws breath from your lungs as surely and as steadily as it draws your eyes.

It's incoherent in the extreme, the acting is pretty bad and there are heavy helpings of cheese, but for all that, it has a certain charm.

The battle scenes are nothing short of astonishing.

For a short while I thought this might be an entertainingly bad film. It isn't.

The story requires a brain transplant. It's not complicated, so much as lost in the land of Loony.

The joy is in the animation, with the non-speaking characters, particularly Rapunzel's chameleon pet and dogged palace horse Maximus stealing every scene they are in.

It does pretty much as it says on the wrapper: and if some of us do not have the stomach to stay the course, that is on us, not the filmmakers.

It feels like writer/director Adam Sherman had fun making this film.
