The quickist sword in the west.

Advantages: brilliant film
Disadvantages: maybe difficult to get hold a copy.

...similar these films are, watch Yojimbo first and then A Fist Full of Dollars, without Yojimbo there would have been no Fist Full of Dollars. It would be unfair to say which film is best, as in my eyes they are both great films. The image Yojimbo gives of Japan at sometime during the 19 Century is that of a declining and corrupt Japan, which much of the country under the control of gangsters and corrupt officials. The film also portrays a national ...
...with the samurai, who normally having a high moral code being honoured and feared at the same time. The films also shows how these traditions are beginning to be opened up to western influences, this can be seen in the role Unosuke, played by Tatsuya Nakadai. He plays the son of one of the gangster who returns to the town in tradition clothes, but bearing an American gun which he uses instead of tradition weapons, thus making him a powerful force ...

Review of Yojimbo (DVD)

Have you ever had your dream shattered???

Advantages: Teaches alot about black culture in the 50s
Disadvantages: Its in black and white

...later discovered that there was a film but I didn't get the chance to see it until in 2007 I came across the DVD on the internet. This story is a very cultural and historical movie. There is not much difference between the movie and the book as for as i could tell. THE OVERVIEW Originally this was a Broadway play written by Lorraine Hansberry's; it was the first African American play to be produce by Broadway. A Raisin in the Sun is about ...
...The movie is based on a lot of themes such as abortion, trust, family values, greed, and even atheism but most of all racial prejudice. The film revolves around a $10,000 insurance check made out to Lena Younger due to the death of her late husband. Every one has their own idea of how they are going to spend their new wealth. But Lena as I would call her the back bone of the family only plan is to retire from her domestic job for a white family buy ...

...WHSmith. ***CRANK 2*** Crank 2: High Voltage was released this year and contains Jason Statham again. Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...

Review of Crank (DVD)

2012 true or wrong

Advantages: I believe in god so I do not believe the end of 2012.
Disadvantages: 2012 film is entertainment. so make it fun for our minds

...if you buy the hype, 2012 is going to be the year of that will see the end of humanity, much like the earlier 2000s saw the downfall of TRL. The year of shock. Horror. Awe. Awe-some! I am currently much anticipating the apocalypse, especially if it involves John Cusack and will finally foresee that sinful state, California, falling into the Pacific Ocean, where it belongs, obviously. I am anticipating it as much as I did Y2K, with my gallons of water ...
...the claims of December 21, 2012 (in addition to it being my future wedding date), being the end of this current "cycle" we're upon. The Mayans were a very intelligent civilization for their time--they were able to calculate the time of day, and their mathematical accomplishments floored any Europeans' of the time. But there's a lot of controversy as to what December 21, 2012, signifies to them. Of course it's the end of their calendar cycle, but ...

Review of 2012

The fast was fast and the furious were furious

Advantages: Effects, Performance
Disadvantages: Ending

Overall the movie turned out not to be as boring as I thought it would be. When I heard about it I thought "great another movie about fast racing cars". After wathching it, my opinion changed. The actors/actresses performances were very well done. The effects made you hold your breath untill the sence was over and want to know what happens next. Being that I watched it after the fourth one was already out It was perfect Knowing ther was more to come. ...
...see this back round info.The reason it was good instead of excellent was because of the ending, which was really cool but could have been better. Unfortunetley, withut spoiling the movie there is only so much I can tell you. Thankyou for reading and I hope It was Excellent. ...
