No Challenge for Sharpe
Review of Sharpe's Challenge DVD by
demonbarak
Advantages: Superbly shot, great casting
Disadvantages: none really!
I have to admit, i was absolutely gutted when this came out. I'd just spent a small fortune on the boxset.
On the other hand, I was chuffed to bits, sharpe was back!
It'd been a long time since Sean Bean had donned that uniform, and it shows - though it fits in perfectly with the storyline.
The storyline is loosely based on the book "Sharpes Fortress" - the last of the Sharpe in India series. In Challenge, Sharpe returns to India as a retired ... ...gets himself involved with the Incompetent Simmerson (the most hated of sharpes enemies!) and ends up posing as a redcoat deserter, to rescue the ailing generals daughter and save the day - though things go terribly wrong when a captured sargeant gives Sharpe and Harper away - and as always with Sharpe, death, mass explosions and screaming charges ensue!
Despite the fact that over a decade had passed between waterloo and challenge, Sean Bean and ...

Excellent Movie
Review of Iron Man DVD by
Classkeeper
Advantages: Stunning visuals
Disadvantages: Maybe a bit long
...by terrorists and manages to escape using a very crude iron suit, and the story goes on from there really. What really sells the movie are the special effects. The suits are superbly developed and look fantastic. This movie is well worth the purchase and will keep you entertained throughout. ...

2012: Is This The Olympic Games?
Review of Death Race DVD by
sghawken
Advantages: Considerably better than the original
Disadvantages: Some muppet will claim it's unbelievable and far fetched
...little reluctant to look at Death Race, it had a couple of bad things going for it; firstly it was a re-make of a 1975 movie called Death Race 2000 which absolutely bored me to tears, and secondly the appearance of the incredibly dull Jason Statham. What made me change my mind I hear you cry? Will it was what in my opinion was the unusual casting of Ian McShane (best known from the long running BBC show Lovejoy). Add to this the fact that it's directed ... ...the reality TV sports show Death Race. In Death Race prisoners must race against each other in a three day, three event race. If a prisoner wins a race five times he is freed, given a full pardon in fact, if he loses, well it's best put that the losers don't get to discover the reality of losing, the only way out of Death Race is first across the finish line, otherwise your bound to be in the morgue.

Will Smith is Hancock
Review of Hancock DVD by
Wilko1981
Advantages: Will Smith!
Disadvantages: Trailer makes it out to be funnier than it is
...by Jason Baleman. He and Hancock first meet when Ray finds him self trapped in his car on a train crossing facing certain death until Hancock saves him. He then takes Hancock home to his wife, played by Charlize Theron, who has some secrets of her own. Against her will Ray vows to help him better his image and prove to the people of the city that he is the superhero that they deserve. This is generally a good film, very funny in places. But seems ... ...like throwing the whale into the sea and the terrible landings. The funniest bit by far is in prison when a prisoner dares to call Hancock "arsehole" one too many times.....!
Over all, I would recommend this light hearted film. Especially if you are a fan of Will Smith. ...
