Benjamin is a former volunteer DJ at his local hospital radio station. He has been reviewing films online since 2004.

You'll easily find the film you're looking for in the index below - please keep checking here often to see new additions as they appear.

This looks a little different!

I realised some time ago that life doesn't always go to plan. You inevitably spill something down a clean T-shirt the first time you wear it, that call you've waited all day for with always happen when you chance a dash to the toilet and movie reviews are never written in alphabetical order. So therefore I figured that an easier way to locate and find your favourite reviews was required and now that I have over 700 published, that need was greater than ever.

So what we have here is a simple list featuring every review I've ever written (regardless of whether they are on ReelRundown or regular HubPages) and more will be added as I publish them. Naturally, they'll be in alphabetical order but each link will contain the year of release and its score. Please remember to check back here often as each published review will be added to this page as well. Hope you enjoy and please keep reading my work!

'101 Dalmatians' remains one of Disney's most beloved animated films - even they're watching it!
