Movies starring Dan

It’s never a good sign when you’re checking your watch and the movie isn’t even half over. Unfortunately, that’s the case with Anemone, the directorial debut of Ronan Day-Lewis, which also marks the screen return of the now-unretired Danie...

Watching Angel provides a window into the dregs of a long-dead genre: the low-budget exploitation thriller. Although this sort of film didn’t make it past the mid-1990s, it thrived during the 1980s when it was often used to fill out drive-in dou...

Angel Baby, a tale of love, loss, and mental illness from Michael Rymer, swept through the 1995 Australian Film Awards, winning seven, including best picture, best director, best actor (John Lynch), and best actress (Jacqueline McKenzie). Howe...

The Answer Man is one of those modestly diverting motion pictures that's as sweet as cotton candy - and as insubstantial. "Forgettable" is the best term for something like this. It's not painful to sit through but it's unlikely anyone is going to...
