Advantages: A great deal of humour
Disadvantages: Not the strongest plot ever

Mr and Mrs Smith is another one of those films that you love to hate. I'll be the first person to admit that the film isn't spectacular, it's nothing out of the ordinary but what it is, is entertaining and really what more can you ask from a film. Mr and Mrs Smith tells the story of John and Jane Smith who to all pretences and purposes are a normal married couple living in a normal house in a normal house both with normal jobs or so the other one ...
...watch something light then Mr and Mrs Smith certainly fits the bill. It has a decent enough plot to make it interesting and a fair few comic lines to keep me chuckling. So if you simply want light entertainment then Mr and Mrs Smith may be the film for you. ... Read review

Advantages: Razorsharp dialogue and performances
Disadvantages: The DVD has no extras

...I have a feeling that Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a film which I will be able to watch time and time again, and pick up more jokes and clues each time. This was not a major box office success, but I think that through word of mouth, this will become an all time classic. It has so many ingredients needed to make a good film, and is a success on all levels. Romance, murder mystery, black humour, old school film noir, mistaken identity, you name it, this ...

...films, Shaolin Soccer, and this, Kung Fu Hustle, which have earned him worldwide fame. Although at 42 he’s a bit old to be called the next Jackie Chan, the resemblances are there, with his films being a mix of comedy, martial arts and action. And like Jackie Chan, as well as acting and doing all his own stunts, he also writes, produces and edits his own films! In Kung Fu Hustle, set in 1940s China, a city is being terrorised by the Axe gang, a ...
...away. Chow plays a kung fu wannabe, Sing, who dreams of joining the axe gang because “the good guys never win”. However, fate has a different agenda, and Sing ends up defending the street against not just the gang but also the world’s top killer, known only as The Beast. Perhaps that Buddhist Palm Kung Fu booklet he was given on the street as a child will come in handy at last… Although it’s not the most thought-provoking or demanding of films, ... Read review

Advantages: A beautiful movie
Disadvantages: Lack of special features

...mill big budget actioner. But Into The Blue, certainly registered on my Richter scale. When I recently purchased by Blue Ray DVD player, Into The blue came as a freebie, a taster to wet your appetite I guess. I certainly for one could not think of a more eye watering movie to play on this brand new format. Jared and Sam are a pair of young lovers who share a love of diving; leading a normal everyday existence they get by, neither of them are big ...
...Having been lured into the movie by the images, you soon become aware of the characters. Jared and Sam are great, truly honest working, and a generally decent couple; both have very high morals and are fully aware of what's right and wrong. Bryce however is a different kettle of fish, a bit slimy, a bit treacherous, and certainly one to go for the money; when it matter however his heart does appear to be in the right place. Amanda bares certain resemblances ... Read review

...primarily set in New York. Dead President's contrasts these two settings to make a statement on the impact of war upon people and addresses alot of the issues faced by the soldiers when they try to reassimilate themselves back into everyday society. The Plot (A few spoilers, pretty detailed, but nothing too big I promise) The film begins quite light-heartedly with three friends casually joking around together efore their impending graduation. ...
