Doo You See A Zulu?

Advantages: Captivating, one of the best films ever made.
Disadvantages: None whatsoever.

Zulu has to be one of my favourite films of all time. It was released in 1964 through Paramount Pictures by Diamond Films - a company set up by the well established actor Stanley Baker, who was looking to move more into the directing field. The film was directed by Cy Endfield, and co-produced by both Baker and Endfield, each with strong links to the story-line. Endfield was born in South Africa, where the events covered by the film took place, ...
...Zulu's is played by the Zulu Chief himself, Chief Buthelezi, and obviously the collaberation brings a real touch of authenticity to the Zulu's in this film and ensures that it is a real depiction of how the Zulu fighting strategies were carried out. Otto Witt - Jack Hawkins. He plays a cameo performance as the Swedish missionary but I found his role a little annoying and lack lustre up until his departure from the mission. Steaming drunk, he shounts ...

Review of Zulu (DVD)

'Sheer Cinematic History'

Advantages: Sean Connery as James Bond! Aston Martin DB5 introduced
Disadvantages: Aston Martin crashes into a wall ouch!

...to keep an eye on Goldfinger the villain of the piece, getting entangled in his business and his women. This entanglement takes him to different points in the world and gets him into many dangerous circumstances. The famous Lazer beam sequence resounds in the memories of people today. THE CAR: When I first saw this film I think I was about 12 and what I liked about this film was the car chase. Never before in cinema history had anyone really seen ...
...interaction between Connery's Bond and Goldfinger they appear to seem friendly initially I think as they try to scope each other out. But Bond's subtle arrogance ignites Goldfinger's firey temper as he refuses to go away. He is a quieter villain in my opinion but nevertheless evil, clearly a businessman obsessed with gold. JAMES BOND: What is great about Sean Connery's Bond is he is able to pull of the coolness and suaveness without over doing ...

Review of Goldfinger (DVD)

The man with the Midas touch......

Advantages: Great film
Disadvantages: Gert Frobe as Goldfinger not up to scratch with the others

...view, I would still rate Goldfinger very highly. The Bond series has a fresh director at the helm and an extremely charismatic Bond leading on the screen. The scenery in the film is beautiful, and the characterisation from Fleming is transferred very well onto the screen by Richard Maibaum, the screenplay writer. Shirley Bassey provides the title track of the film, a song to stick in my mind - beautifully crafted and performed. If there was anything ...
...Frobe as Goldfinger, as he does seem a little out of his depth in this. He is not very convincing as a villain, so it is just as well he has Oddjob and Pussy Galore, as they are very convincing. Conclusion Another good Bond film. The DVD is available from amazon.co.uk for £4.35. This review may also be posted on dooyoo.co.uk. Thanks for reading. ...

Review of Goldfinger (Ultimate Edition) (DVD)

The Bigger the hit, the faster the rush, the Sweeter the revenge!

Advantages: Great action packed film, Great actors, Good storyline
Disadvantages: You may not be able to get into the story-line!

...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 ...
...I wouldn’t hesitate to watch Crank 2. My dad did how-ever borrow the DVD and after 30mins he switched it off as he couldn’t quite get into the film. If you like Jason as an actor and if you like his other films I think you with thoroughly enjoy this film. I would recommend it to anyone who like’s action packed films. (review als on dooyoo) ...

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 ...
