Reviews Featuring John Malkovich

Johnny English
Unoriginal, non-sensical and not particularly funny.

Ripley's Game
A disappointing thriller that tries to hard too be atmospheric in the hope of covering up a largely hole-filled and one-dimensional plot.

Being John Malkovich
Curiouser and curiouser – and very, very funny.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Hardly an earth-shattering solution to life, the universe and everything, but still gratifyingly eccentric.

Burn After Reading
The Coens have delivered a superb follow up to their masterful No Country for Old Men by not even trying to do something similar.

Changeling
Changeling is solid drama from Eastwood and Jolie, and despite some over the top characterizations, it’s definitely a suspenseful tale of a corrupt system and the woman brave enough to take it on to save her son.

Beowulf
This was never going to be a classic but it's got a timeless story, great animation and is a fun watch to be taken with a pinch of salt.
