Advantages: Clint at his best
Disadvantages: If you are an avid Eastwood fan like me.......NONE

...price. I have always liked Clint Eastwood so I bought the box set,and it really is one of the best box sets I have ever purchased Clint Eastwood at his very very best in Where Eagles Dare, a favourite film of mind which I can never tire of watching The other films on this DVD set are also good ones, though some are little heard of, but having said that, Clint Eastwood is in my opinion at his best in all five. So if you are looking for a good clutch ...

Welcome to underground, the universe of Kusturica

Advantages: Brilliant film, great music, amazing scenes and performance
Disadvantages: Difficult to understand, very long

...is the film about - Underground begins on a deceptively lyrical, unassuming note: "Once upon a time, there was a country." Its 1941 and the story is set in Belgrade, Yugoslavian capital. Marko (Miki Manojlovic) and Blacky (Lazar Ristovski) celebrate their latest caper - the theft of a government arms shipment. The two of them are flirting, pillaging and are getting drunk together, with no moral concerns, giving no thought to anyone but themselves. ...
...their time between acts of resistance and very profitable traffics. One of the best scenes in the film is in these first moments when a bomb falls directly onto the Belgrade zoo. Lions, tigers, bears and birds flee the carnage and head out unfettered into the city as zookeeper Ivan (Stimac) weeps amongst the ruins. Kusturica directs his animals as well as he does his humans. A baby monkey, Sino, tries desperately to leave his cage, clawing at the ...

Review of Underground (DVD)

Screw you Benny!!!

Advantages: Total Recall
Disadvantages: Red Sonja

...a high budget sci-fi where Arnie is Doug Quaid- a lowly construction worker whoi dreams of going to mars. His wife wont let him so he goes for the new fangled memory implant on offer for a company called RECALL. Big mistake- Arnie is an undercover operative who has had his identity changed by 'the agency' and is briefed to infiltrate rebel forces on Mars. Doug Quaid, has different ideas: In a nutshell "I dont wanna spoil it for you Doug, but rest ...
...to skip. Raw Deal Arnie is an undercover cop infiltrating a mafia gang. Wonderfully cheesey and simple with lots of killing and oneliners. Not a bad little film early on in Arnie's career. No special features to speak of on the dvd. Red Sonja This is not an Arnie movie, its a Bridgette Nielson movie in which Arnie plays a part. Its a swords and sorcery movie which is barely watchable and includes a whole host of extremely annoying characters who ...

Review of Arnie Box Set - Total Recall / Raw Deal / Red Heat / Red Sonja (Box Set) (DVD)

The most quotable film of all time?...

Advantages: Fantastic performances from an utterly sublime cast, memorable dialogue.
Disadvantages: One of Tarrantino's earlier films, doesn't contain all the typical Tarrantino features as some of his newer work.

Reservoir dogs, the most quotable film of all time, in my opinion Tarrantino's best, Madsen and Buscemi's best ever roles and including one of the brutal "look away now" scenes in film history. The storyline follows a group of small time gangsters lead by a cold and heartless character named Joe and his spoilt son Nice guy Eddie, as an attempted heist on a local jewlery store turns into a blood bath. The soundtrack is full of classics from Little ...
...and turned into comical moments) Reservoir dogs includes violent scenes that i found very realistic and brutal. Tehcnically, camera shots and other production aspects seem to be spot on, as you would expect from a director with Tarrantino's talent. In a notorious scene where a police officer has his ear hacked off, the camera pans away to the left of the screen immitating what are likely to be immediate actions of the viewer (looking away in horror). ...
