The Matrix Revisited Twin Pack

Advantages: Awesome Film
Disadvantages: Not much to disadvantage

...couldn't go wrong with this, the perfect gift for a male teen, superlative special effects, awesome story line which also has some deep philosophical undertones, especially with regard to the neo-platonic concepts of Zion and an almost Nietsche like perspective of the modern heaven in a semi-mocking tone. But the actors in this all put in great performances to create this epic movie that's popularity will continue to grow over the years, much like ...

Moore Not Less

Advantages: Great fun, terrific action sequences
Disadvantages: Slightly dated in places

...Hamilton (director on the forthcoming Live and Let Die) suggested the American actor for Bond. Other options included Michael Billington, best known for a part in Gerry Anderson's camp television series UFO. Broccoli looked for a compromise and started thinking about Roger Moore again. Roger Moore, now 45, had been considered for Bond more than once in the sixties but television contracts had always made him unavailable. His tv show The Persuaders ...
...back seat in busy traffic. Live and Let Die has some terrific action sequences. David Hedison makes a decent Felix Leiter in Live and Let Die. Hedison and Moore are good friends in real life and this is evident in the secenes they act in together. The trail leads Bond to the Fillet of Soul restaurant run by a criminal figure called Mr Big. Roger Moore looks a tad conspicuous wandering around Harlem as if he's just stepped out his Saville Row tailers ...

Review of Live And Let Die (Ultimate Edition) (DVD)

"The things I do for England."

Advantages: Fun!
Disadvantages: A bit daft

You Only Live Twice is the fifth film in the James Bond series and was released in 1967. It was the first film in the series to be based on an original screenplay rather than a Fleming novel and was written by popular children's author Roald Dahl. Fleming's story of an amnesiac Bond stalking Blofeld in a strange Japanese castle was discarded in favour of an outlandish script which sees the United States and Soviet Union played off agaisnt each other ...
...onscreen encounter with 007... You Only Live Twice is widely regarded to be one of the dafter James Bond films but a hugely entertaining one nonetheless. The film continues the trend towards larger than life mayhem and gadgets and is most famous for Ken Adam's incredible production design which created a gigantic hollowed out volcano set for Blofeld's base, including a sliding roof and monorail! You Only Live Twice was by some distance the most ...

X Men all in one place - result!!

Advantages: Fast paced, action filled trilogy with great special effects
Disadvantages: The sequels are clearly afterthoughts

This is a brilliant way to watch all three X Men films one after another, with no annoying waiting to find out what happens next. X Men one seems to work, as with Pirates of the Caribbean - Curse of the Black Pearl, as a solo film. With talent such as Patrick Stewart as Prof. Xavier and Ian McKellen as Magneto, you can't go far wrong. Hugh Jackman is perfect as the troubled Wolverine. The special effects are amazing and the film really grips your ...
...never meant to be made, but was because of the money it could turn over. However, it delivers at the same fast pace as the first film, and has the same excellent cast, so doesn't really disappoint. X Men 3 is the newest of the three, having only been released in 2006. It spends the entire movie trying to tie up loose ends, but is filled with amazing action sequences and special effects. The ending leaves you hanging and definately predicts another ...
