Advantages: A-list ensemble cast, tarantino script, great action scenes
Disadvantages: Occassionally over-graphic

This film from 1993, directed by Tony Scott (previous works such as 'Top Gun' and Crimson Tide') and written by the universally known Quentin Tarantino. It is a tension filled and action packed movie with some really poignant and occasionally chilling sequences. The story centres around Clarence Worley (Christian Slater of 'Murder in the First' and 'Broken Arrow') a comic book store employee with a passion for Sonny Cheeba kung-fu movies and Elvis ...
...marathon in a cinema. Here he meets Alabama (Patricia Arquette of Stigmata.) She is a happy, young southern girl and they immediately hit it off. After the inevitable night-time events, Clarence awakes to find Alabama crying and she confesses she is a call girl hired by Clarence's boss as a birthday present.

Advantages: Performances, storyline and effects
Disadvantages: Nothing, it's honestly perfect

Looking at Bad Boys there is no way I would imagine this was released when I was just 6 years old back in 1995, as it's a film that can stand tall even to this day. I'm not sure how groundbreaking it was back in the day but to me it seems like it must have been a film ahead of its time, because surely films haven't evolved for over 10 years? This morning I rewatched Bad Boys, and what follows is my verdict. Martin Lawrence is the star of the film ...
...are partners in crime - Bad Boys. Previous to this Lawrence's biggest appearance was in Big Momma's House, and unlike Smith I haven't really seen Lawrence in any films that have grabbed me, he's currently in pre-production for a 2008 released called The Better Man. Unlike Smith who always seems to be involved in something, whether it be a music career or more big releases like 'iRobot' and 'Pursuit of Happyness'. Opening scenes are always crucial ...

Advantages: Great characters
Disadvantages: -

...seeing the first series of Ultimate Force I eagerly awaited the release of Series 2 and I have to say that it didn't fail to deliver. Like the first series, this series is again based around 'red troop' a troop of SAS soldiers. In terms of characters very few changes have been made Alex Leonard who left at the end of the first series is replaced by the cocky and loud-mouthed Louis Hoffman (who is first seen in Series 1 Episode 3) and BOX, whose ...
...Akhurst), who provides a love interest for Red Troop's charismatic Staff Sergeant Henno Garvie (Ross Kemp). This series is more explosive than the last on many levels with more bullets flying and more people falling especially in the opening episode where Red Troop find themselves in a blue on blue situation on a ship docked in Southampton and have to come to terms with the fact that it isn't only those on the other side that are falling. Other ... Read review

Advantages: Ridiculously exciting, OTT extravaganza
Disadvantages: Morally disgusting

...his earlier Rocky Balboa. However, Rambo IV is still a ridiculously exciting, if politically disgusting, high-octane, uber-violent romp. Easily the equal of many of the fiercest horror films of recent times in terms of sheer gore and depravity - necks are ripped open, children are flung left and right, heads explode, innards spill to the dirt - the picture is considerably harsher than its predecessors. It is, though, just as moronic as the previous ...
...Religious, Cultural and Military Might. Rambo IV does nothing to reverse this trend, with Stallone being very open about the film's Christian values (a shame-faced attempt to ape Mel Gibson's success with similar audiences) and the piece as a whole stands as a justification for any amount of imperialist rampaging. That said - nauseating and barbaric it may be, but, much like the final third of Mark L. Lester's 1985 Commando, it's impossible not to ... Read review
