Originally from Derry, I had wanted to see this film for a very long time, and was very impressed when I did. The film far exceeded my expectations and must be one of the best films on the troubles in Northern Ireland. The acting was fantastic, especially Jimmy Nesbitt as Ivan Cooper, but the cast as a whole done a brilliant job. The film was very realistic and some nice cut editing added to the confusion of the day. Very provocative film, which seems to bring across the facts of what actually happened, as far as anyone can really know. Definitely worth watching. 8/10

Dracula 2000
(2000)
Disappointing Comic Book Horror With Way Too Much Advertising
21 January 2002
This was a very average modern horror, which tried to be like Blade. The cast were very beautiful, but not very talented. The amount of advertising in the film was beyond belief. I'll not say what the advertising was for, although I half expected to see Richard Branson jump out at the end to save the day! There was one interesting twist in the film concerning Dracula's origination, but not worth seeing just for this. Overall 5/10.
Stranger Than Fiction
(2000)
An absolute abomination
7 August 2001
This is the first time I have felt incensed enough to write a review. This film takes a new genre, successfully done in films like 'Best Laid Plans' and 'Go', and copies everything done so far. And the 'twist', oh come on! I saw that coming the day before I watched the movie.
In short, if you haven't already seen Go, then Go see that instead of this piece of crap.

The Dove
(1974)
Likeable and well-made story.
22 April 1999
True story about 16 year old American Robin Lee Graham who becomes the youngest ever person to sail around the world. Joseph Bottoms does very well portraying the young man and is well supported by Deborah Raffin. What makes the film, however, is the direction. I give 6/10
