This Film Really Captured The Excitment And The Saddness Of The Civil War...I Am Only Twelve And This Film Kept Me Interested All The Way Through...I Watched This DVD As A Revison And It Helped Me Understand The Causes Of The Civil War!
I Highly Rate This Film!
This was just as good as I remember. The banter between tough business women Zoe Wannamaker and wheeler dealer Adam faith is great TV. You care about their relationship and the auxillary characters and plots are interesting and entertaining. I would highly recommend this series.
Kill Bill Vol.1 saw only the beginning to this tale of bloody revenge leaving the audience with more than just a few questions, and now it's time for some answers. Kill Bill Vol.2 most certainly delivers those answers in the action packed, yet emotional climax of the Bride's journey on the path to finally kill Bill. While this film has been criticised for being to "wordy", and almost too far from the original, i would entirely disagree. This delivers all of the action needed including the long-awaited dual between both of the "yellow haired warriors" - Elle Driver and the Bride. This is truely the continuation of a complete and utter legend of a story, with unfogettable characters, one of which being Pai Mei and of course not forgetting Carradine's fantastic performance as Bill. Definitely worth watching to tie up the loose ends created by Vol.1.
I sat watching this the other night and smelt the unmistakable aroma of a Bernard Matthews turkey roast. Absolute rubbish. The dialogue is filled with matrix style quotes that mean goodness knows what. A sort of pseudo Highlander/Matrix story line without any of the attributes that made these two movies great. Billy Zane gives his usual performance, in other words, it pays the bills. This is one turkey that definatley deserves to catch bird flu...Avoid!
"A Clockwork Orange", released in 1971 was one of the most controversial films of its time, and quite possibly still is. With the first half of the film revolving around shocking scenes of violence and rape, it's not surprising that many viewers fail to realise what this film is really about. In an attempt not to spoil this fantastic film for first time viewers, all i can really say is that it is quite simply one of the most thought provoking films of all time, reaching what may at first appear to be a reasonably disappointing conclusion, however before making any final judgements about this masterpiece, time should be spent considering the many questions raised by the film, not least of all those about the common youth culture which are possibly more relevant today than ever before. This is a true classic, even if it isnt for everyone. I would thoroughly recommend any serious cinema goers to watch this.
A film that can be enjoyed by all ages, adults can lose themseles in the land of make believe without feeling silly. The effects are excellent as are all films being made in New Zealand
At the beginning of 2005 it felt like the world was holding its collective breath for the science fiction movie event of the year. This movie promised to take the audience on a rollercoaster ride of a story during which they would laugh, cry, be shocked and truly moved by the characters. The special effects would wow the audience without overpowering the movie and not only would the fans be dancing in the aisles but also those whom had never been touched by the magic of this franchise. Unfortunately, Star Wars Episode III failed to deliver... but thank goodness for Serenity! One of the best movies (science fiction or not) of 2005 without a doubt.
Mercifully short, very preposterous and just about worth a rental but not a full blown purchase.
Cillian Murphy is as watchable as ever & Rachel McAdams extremely pretty (although somehow looks constantly mildly surprised).
This is the kind of fodder that wouldnt go amiss as a TV movie of the week, but a cinema film? Surely not...
Wes Craven has lost his way over the last 20 years or so and whilst certainly not a return to form, he does provide us with a little something dfferent from the tired old slasher flicks and self-parodying horror-lite rubbish that so 'in' right now.
Certainly not worth a purchase - there's just not enough to it - but a one-nighter is more likeit...
Kilmer & Downey Jr in the same place at one time? Most directors would run for the hills confronted with that potential migraine inducer! So props go out to Shane Black for not only getting great performances out of both, but also conjuring up a partnership to rival Riggs & Murtaugh any day of the week.
Black has always had a knack of writing dialogue you wanna hear (and wish you could say yourself without practising first) and listening to Kilmer & Downey Jr going for it is pure poetry (although foul-mouthed poetry, but hey, we're all grown up here).
If you like your Chandler, Leonard & Hammett with a touch a noughties sass, thern this is the flick for you. If you are looking for Lethal Weapon 5, then look elsewhere because this might ne a touch cerebral & self-referential for your tastes.
Just enjoy it, but dont buy the DVD - wait a few months til the worth-your-money special edition comes out.
Absolutely brilliant - well worth the money as it will not fail to entertain time and again.
Despite being headed as a children's film, there are more than enough laughs to entertain 'kids' of all ages, complete with moments which only the adults will understand!
We are once again entertained by the familar inventions and capers of these two characters, yet the introduction of new characters, effects and storyline mean this is the best Wallace and Gromit yet.
If you've enjoyed the previous outings of this comic duo, then this is a must for both the young, and young at heart.
Another helping of first class supernatural drama from the team at Clyde University. This series sees the wonderful acting talents of Bill Patterson complimented by two new research assistants in the shape of Dawn Steele and Iain Patterson. These three central characters compliment each other greatly and in amongst the high drama and edge of the chair breath stopping moments comes some light humour as these three characters personalities and differences in opinions come to light. This is in the same format as the first series with each story in two parts and the joy of owning it on DVD is that you don't need to wait a whole week to reach a conclusion. Overall an excellent and well put together Scottish drama with some first class acting and well put together story lines. Not to be missed!!
This film has the heart and soul of swing and the dark side of 1940's Germany in perfect balance. All the cast in this film are brilliant and play their roles well. Watching this film you will laugh and cry and not be able to resist the toe tapping beat that flows through it. A perfect film for anyone who likes to go against the status quo.
John Carpenter - were did you go to (Mars unfortunately!)? This is great stuff - if you like the sea, lighthouses, fog (obviously) and a bit of leperous, undead & cheesed off pirate people - then this is the film for you.
Not one of Carpenter's greatest but still one of my favourites - it has the right mix of creepy music, righteous scares and sleepy little town where surely nothing can go wrong - BUT DOES!!!
Buy this and avoid the recent remake at all costs as it sucks barnacle bobs....
This DVD takes you from the start of Marillion with Fish to the time that Hogarth took over the reigns. This shows in superb quality the ingenious videos this band has made and shows that the lead singer can change and the band will still go on strong. Hail EMI for releasing this DVD as it shows anyone today what most music videos are missing... originality.
John Wayne would love this film, retelling the story of one of his finest film's, sons of katie elder i think it was called, i picked it up straight away and really enjoyed the film, the kids keep asking who john wayne was, so it's going to cost me a few quid in dvd's. as for the film great tension building stuff even though i knew the story,kids and the mrs loved it,. wahlberg was excellent as was gibson,
Great film, classic story, well acted.
Well the good people at WWE have finally done it - released an incredible 31 disc anthology of the granddaddy of them all, Wrestlemania!.
This Deluxe and Holographic set features 21 Wrestlemanias on 31 DVDs, plus 4 Limited Edition Senitypes which look amazing.
As for the content of the discs, well if youre reading this youre a fan of WWE so you know some of the incredible highlights of the set:-
Hulk Hogan vs Andre The Giant - Wrestlemania III
Hulk Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior - Wrestlemania VI
Bret Hart vs Roddy Piper - Wrestlemania VIII
HBK vs Razor Ramon - Wrestlemania X
Bret Hart vs Steve Austin - Wrestlemania XIII
Hulk Hogan vs The Rock - Wrestlemania XVIII
Hulk Hogan vs Mr McMahon - Wrestlemania XIX
Kurt Angle vs HBK - Wrestlemania XXI
All thse and over 150 more matches spanning 2 decades make this a collectors item.
The only reason this gets 3 out of 4 is the fact that due to the legal loss to the WWF, they have had to blur out all the WWF ''Scratch'' logos from Wrestlemanias XIV-XVIII, plus some of the themes have changed for entrances, again due to the music no longer legally belonging to WWE.
Other than that this is a top set, and unlike previous VHS releases, these are the Full 3-4 Hour PPV versions of the earlier releases, rather than 2-3 hours.
I hope this reveiw has helped in your decision.
Nice to see Viggo Mortensen without a big sword and clinging halflings! He proves just as handy with big guns & a bit of chop-socky though...
Incredibly understated with intermittent spurts of extreme violence, it's good to see a Cronenberg film without bits of stuff falling off or being inserted too people (not that there's owt wrong with that like..).
Apart from William Hurt's comically hammy performance (shame on you Oscar nominators!) - everything in this film is to be recommended and makes a good companion piece to the Tweenies Big Day Out (joke)
Who cares about Matt Dillon in Crash? This is what he should've got the Oscar nomination for. Unfortunately, this film doesn't contain any 'messages' or tackle any 'issues' as Crash supposedly does.Instead, what you have is Bukowski's Chinaski in all his shabby glory and Dillon nails it.
Certainly not to everyone's taste and in parts difficult to watch, but people are people and sometimes it seems like imperfections are all we consist of. As brilliantly illustrated here.
If you learn nothing else from this film other than to not fall asleep with cream on your willy, then some good has been done.
The 1st one was surprisingly ok and this one is just moderately so.
There's no smouldering between Zeta Jones and Banderas anymore, it feels much more by the numbers than it should do.
Some great set pieces on there and Banderas is pretty watchable (as always), however, whenever you have a 'cute' kid involved who you actually just want to batter most of the time, then you've got problems.
Rent dont buy (but preferably borrow, coz it aint really worth £3.75 and you wont watch it more than once). Sigh...
"You'll believe a man can fly!" said the publicity. Well, maybe not - but you'll believe that the story of a flying man in blue tights can make a truly great movie, and that in itself is something of a revelation.
Sticking as close as possible to the Siegel & Schuster mythos - and having the audacity to play the story straight - Richard Donner's definitive version of the "Superman" tale has not aged as badly as its more "knowing" sequels. Christopher Reeve's career-defining turn as the Man of Steel effortlessly convinces, his "innocent abroad" act deftly conveying the notion of a non-human who is more Human than the humans around him.
There is a sense in which the story is an updated Gospel; a powerful being from the stars sends his son to Earth, to live amongst men and protect them. But it's the bare bones of the myth, stripped of spiritual baggage and told simply for its own sake.
Many fine superhero movies have been made since "Superman". Few, if any, had been made before it. A modern cinematic tradition owes its longevity largely to this one, definitive classic.
