The MovieMuse Reviews (MovieViews) database is a searchable collection of films that the team have watched, providing a comprehensive guide on what to watch and what to avoid. It provides a link to an in-depth review or a short opinion on the film and a rating, as well as a link to the film’s poster or DVD cover. For more recent entries we are also including a link to the film’s IMDb page and a trailer from YouTube.
You can search and sort the list by individual film names, genre, reviewer, score and other variables to inform you on whether a film is worth your time, or to inspire you for your next movie night.
We will also use the database to create periodic lists of the recommended films in all sorts of categories. These lists will be shared on the website and some will even come with a video.
Poster | Movie | Year | Genre | Comments | Rating |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() |
Money Monster | 2016 | 5, 7, 20 | A opcorn thriller that is an enjoyable tale and a damning indictment of greed. | 7 |
![]() |
Moonwalkers | 2015 | 4 | Rupert Grint is likeable as a grown up Ron Weasley and the story is an interesting idea. But the film is nowhere near as funny or clever as it thinks it is. | 4 |

Morgan | 2016 | 11, 13, 17 | Adds nothing to the AI genre, but is exciting and dark enough to holds its own. Kate Mara is excellent. | 7 |

Mortal Kombat | 1995 | Action, 1, 9 | Fun and faithful, but let down by a shocking script and some terrible acting. | 5 |
![]() |
Myra Breckinridge | 1970 | 4 | Everything in the book that shocked is watered down (except the single 'Myra rides Rusty' scene). leaving a very tame film by today's standards. | 3 |
![]() |
Neon Demon | 2016 | 7, 11, 20 | For a film that contains lesbian necrophilia and someone coughing up an eyeball, the film is surprisingly subtle and restrained. A striking study of how beauty corrupts. | 8 |

Nina | 2016 | 3, 7, 12 | Awful script, poor acting/singing and some awful prosthetics put front and centre. Serves only to damn the memory of a troubled genius. | 4 |
![]() |
No Country for Old Men | 2007 | 5, 7, 20 | Fizzles out towards the end, but has enough tension to keep you interested throughout. The showering of awards is a little surprising though. | 7 |
![]() |
No Escape | 2015 | Action, 20 | Owen Wilson is convncing as the out of his depth father trying to protect his family in a very good 'get from A to B via hell' thriller. | 8 |
![]() |
No Way Out | 1987 | Action, 5 | If it wasn't for the twist the film would be no more than a generic thriller. | 6 |
![]() |
Nocturnal Animals | 2016 | 7, 20 | Stylish and clever paralleling of relationship drama and murder thriller stories. | 8 |
![]() |
Noobz | 2012 | 4 | The worst kind of bandwagon jumping tripe led by big name actor lookalikes. | 2 |
![]() |
November Man | 2014 | Action, 5, 20 | Action, suspense and a great performance from Pierce Brosnan, but nothing new. | 7 |
![]() |
Once | 2007 | 7, 12, 16 | Gloriously beautiful tale told with completely believable characters. | 8 |
![]() |
100 Streets | 2016 | 7 | Interesting but overly sentimental tale of London lives. | 6 |
![]() |
Our Kind of Traitor | 2016 | 5, 20 | The only shock in the film was that there were no shocks. An acceptable film, but ads nothing to the genre. | 6 |
![]() |
Over the Top | 1987 | Action, 8, 19 | The 80s in a nutshell. The Rocky formula turned into family fun with a great Moroder-esque soundtrack. | 7 |
![]() |
Paper Man | 2009 | 4, 7 | A lovely tale of loneliness with fantastic performances from all 4 of its stars. | 8 |
![]() |
Party Party | 1983 | 4 | Click to see our Film Club review. | 4 |

Pete's Dragon | 2016 | 1, 8, 9 | Perfectly acceptable, but absolutely average. | 5 |
![]() |
Presumed Innocent | 1990 | 13, 20 | Some great acting and a really well delivered twist create another hit for Harrison Ford | 8 |
![]() |
Primer | 2004 | 7, 17, 20 | A little too clever for its own good and a lack of real tension or threat, but there is enough to keep your head scratching for some time after the film has completed. | 7 |
![]() |
Raiders of the Lost Ark | 1981 | Action, 1 | Click to see our Box Set review. | 8 |
![]() |
Ratchet & Clank | 2016 | 1, 2, 8, 17 | The visuals are no better than the ingame cutscenes and script has little to offer either. You are better off just playing the first Ratchet game (or the PS4 remake). | 5 |
