Reviews Featuring Michael Gambon
The Actors
An above-average Brit-comedy with a superb but largely under-used cast.
Ali G Indahouse
You’ll laugh here and there, but this is far from Ali G at his best. Pick up some of his early TV stuff if you can, but this is a film best left on the shelf.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
A visually exhilarating but virtually unfathomable hundred-mile-an-hour bare-back hippogriff ride. Baffled? You will be!
Open Range
Proof, if ever it was required, that the Ol’ West did indeed stretch on… and on… and on… and on…
Sylvia
It’s hard to do poetic justice to the life of a literary great when you’re not allowed to use any poetry.
Layer Cake
Make sure you grab a slice of the cake.
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
Great visuals… shame about the story.
Angels in America
A bit like those angel’s wings, it’s sporadically up-lifting in a way that doesn’t quite make sense – but more often than that it’s a maudlin chore with too scant a reward.
Being Julia
Hats off to Annette Bening for a remarkable performance in an unremarkable movie.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Few films are as rich and strange as this bittersweet comic odyssey into the depths of human yearning.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
An all-around thrilling experience, even at two-and-a-half hours, this Harry Potter installment only whets our appetite for the final act(s) with touches of humor, romance, adventure, and a little bit of scariness.
Fantastic Mr. Fox
A fantastic big screen adaptation of a fantastic book keeps both kids and adults happy.
The Book of Eli
A post-Apocalytpic Western that's just not as good as many others out there.
