High Spirits (1988)

"[It] goes for Ealing whimsy and easy laughs and, incredibly, manages both in spite of such a slender plot. Peter O'Toole hits the right note of craziness (…) Rating: *** (out of 5)"

Radio Times
True Lies (1994)

"It may be wildly implausible and a trifle misogynistic, but, on a pure excitement level, Cameron's blockbuster is unbeatable entertainment (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

"Only for those in the right state of mindlessness (…) Rating: ** (out of 5)"

Radio Times
A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989)

"Director Stephen Hopkins valiantly tries to paper over the huge cracks in the derivative low-energy thrills (...) but the womb with a view concept never puts it on a convincingly empathetic footing."

Radio Times
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

"Bloody special effects and suspenseful murders disguise a somewhat weak script, but the engaging performances (...) make it a top-flight terror classic (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

Radio Times

"While the cloned package does elicit a nagging sense of déjà vu, such feelings never get in the way of the overpowering excitement and spectacular special effects (…) Rating: *** (out of 5)"
