aaaarg me hearties & aarhhhh heartless

Advantages: awash with bucklers being swashed
Disadvantages: treasure that should remain buried

what a combination, National treasure is so dire I find it difficult to imagine how these 2 could be paired up together other than a Disney smash cash tie in. take my advice, buy POTC on its own! National treasure - Nicolas 'Francis ford coppola got me the job' cage stars in this duck as a treasure hunter following in his father/grandfathers/great-grandfathers footsteps. Tales of Masonic/knights templar treasure send him from the arctic to new York ...
...just get POTC and ditch national treasure as that should be left buried in my opinion. 2 discs, no extras, £15 on Amazon new, £11 used I had to give it poorer ratings due to the inclusion of National treasure.the effects in POTC were pretty good but stunts/action/excitement were pretty thin on the ground with national treasure not sure if this is allowed but i met a 'pirate' in Sydney in april this year who was the spitting image of Depp, here's ...

Review of National Treasure / Pirates Of The Caribbean - The Curse Of The Black Pearl (DVD)

Open Channel D

Advantages: First time on DVD... ever!
Disadvantages: Thrush is bad choice of name for an evil organisation !!!!

...welcome to my review of The Man from Uncle Box set. Other than James Bond, in the 1960’s when the spy craze was at its peak there was a TV series that was a cross between James Bond and Mission Impossible with a little bit of tongue in cheek, it was called The Man From Uncle. And seeing as I seem to be going through the beginnings of a mid-life crisis and talking about all things nostalgic, now would be the time to bring this review on line about ...
...story of an organisation in the same feel as the Hitchcock film ‘North by North West’. Fleming placed some ideas on the table, looking back it was relatively the same structure as Bond, a suave and sophisticated lead character whose names was Napoleon Solo, a Chief of Department based at what can only be described as Headquarters and a secretary whose name was going to be April Dancer. The name was later used in the spin off series The Girl from ...

Review of The Man From UNCLE (Box Set) (DVD)

Superman Plays Second Fiddle To A Comedian!

Advantages: Strong action sequences
Disadvantages: Richard Pryor

At the end of Superman II, the final credit says "Back for Superman III". I can remember that this generated a lot of hype in the auditorium. Superman III was released in the summer of 1983 and was up against Return of the Jedi which had been released at the same time to cash in on the school holidays. After the high standard of the first sequel the fans wanted more of the same and quite rightly so as the films up to now had been very entertaining. ...
...they hatch a plan involving Superman with Gorman being used as a puppet in Webster's plans. This involves creating Kryptonite to use against, and changing weather patterns to destroy crops and raise the price of goods such as Coffee. This is a different Superman film altogether when compared to the first two and the cast have been slightly altered as well, Christopher Reeve still looks good as the iconic hero and plays the dual roles of Clark Kent ...

Review of Superman 3 (DVD) (RESCHEDULED) (DVD)

Move Like A Butterfly Strings Like A Bee....

Advantages: Fans of Muhammed Ali will love it !!!!
Disadvantages: I found it boring and unexciting to be honest.

...The film is based on Ali in his pomp (1964-1974), And a lot is fitted into the two- and- a- half- hours of film. We get Cassius Clay winning the world title, his conversion to Islam and the name Muhammad Ali, his refusal to fight in Vietnam, the stripping of his title and, finally, the superhuman effort it took to regain it against George Foreman. There's also the personal relationships with sports journalist Howard Cosell (Jon Voight), Malcolm X ...
...exciting as i thought it was going to be but it ok I guess wont say I watch it again but I guess if you were a fan of legendary Muhammad Ali (moves like a butterfly sting like a bee) then u probably enjoy this movie. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...

Review of Ali (Collector's Box Set) (DVD)

very true

Advantages: shows true habitat of the anaconda
Disadvantages: the snake wasnt real

...close to haw a real anaconda would live, its shows that a 60ft snake could eat a human in 1 and still go back for more, the storyline behind the film was great, i loved watching it, and when the snake first showed that was it i was glued to the screen, i didnt want to miss a moment after that. Everything about the snake was so life like and after actually seeing a baby anaconda it is amazing that something could grow to be so big and so dangerous. ...
