Reviews Featuring Ian Holm
The Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring
Awesome. All the bits of the film that should have been in there in the first place, a must for collectors and Tolkein fans everywhere. Gorgous packaging, sumptuous quality. Both editions are great value for money. If you’re like me, you’ll probably end up owning both.
Brazil
If anything, "Brazil" has significantly improved with age. A film for the "Matrix" generation, its time has now come.
Alien
Still one of the best movies to come out of either the horror or sci-fi genre – this one gets the blood pumping.
Alien: Legacy
A nicely-packaged collector’s item which anyone who’s a fan of the series will love. Anyone else would be better off just getting the first two – that way’s cheaper, and you really wouldn’t be missing out on much.
A Life Less Ordinary
A reasonably entertaining romp that, despite the title, is pretty – well – ordinary.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Quite possibly the best movie ever made.
The Day After Tomorrow
At last the British get to see a film entirely about the weather.
Garden State
This coldturkey odyssey begins with a death, and ends with life in all its chaotic Large-ness.
The Aviator
In this stunning period biopic, Scorsese exposes the American dream to the law of gravity.
Time Bandits
Sit the whole family down to this Python-made romp through time and space.
The Fifth Element
A visually-stunning mess.
eXistenZ
David Cronenberg’s delve into a grimy video game world has lots of plus points, but isn’t quite as good as it should be. Stick to ‘Super Mario’.
