Braveheart (1995) 74% EDIT “The battle scenes, which are among the best ever seen on film, are absolutely crucial to the success of the movie. Braveheart truly deserves the description 'epic.'” – Irish Independent Feb 27, 2026 Full Review The Quick and the Dead (1995) 61% EDIT “No matter how many fancy ways Raimi invents to stage the shootouts, the tedium is quick in coming and there is nothing else going on between times to build suspense or interest in the characters.” – Irish Independent Feb 26, 2026 Full Review Apollo 13 (1995) 92% EDIT “Amazingly, for someone who has shown such a recurring interest in the state of the American family, [Ron Howard] has had very little of significance to say about it.” – Irish Independent Feb 26, 2026 Full Review Sense and Sensibility (1995) 97% EDIT “The most striking aspect of this film is its poise. Thompson, who has spent five years adapting the book, has posited the regular Austen dilemmas of head and heart exquisitely between comedy and melodrama. ” – Irish Independent Feb 25, 2026 Full Review Chocolat (2000) 63% EDIT “You will get the point of Chocolat early on -- the character which are introduced signpost exactly how Hallström will go about making it -- but you have to admire the restraint with which he sets about it.” – Irish Independent Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Babe (1995) 98% EDIT “The Australian cinema has thrown up its share of oddities over the years, none more so than the likeable comedy Babe. ” – Irish Independent Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The American President (1995) 90% EDIT “The American President does work. If Reiner brings anything to his movies it is a refined sense of what will play. ” – Irish Independent Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) 91% EDIT “[Peter Jackson] has pulled it off. While the movie honours the text, you don't feel that it has been enslaved by it. The Fellowship of the Ring has the pace and dramatic balance and visual flair of a movie.” – Irish Independent Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Boogie Nights (1997) 91% EDIT “This is the rather unpromising basis for a human, funny, Altmanesque survey of life among the lower denizes of Hollywood in the 1970's. ” – Irish Independent Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Jurassic Park (1993) 91% EDIT “Spielberg has distilled all the elements of the book into a familiar formula that, through his transcendant prowess as a filmmaker, he manages to make work.” – Irish Independent Jul 1, 2025 Full Review
