Advantages: Fun, cheesy and hilariously over the top
Disadvantages: Stupid characters and acting, bad ending

What with the recent Wolfgang Peterson remake of The Poseidon Adventure (adventurously re-titled "Poseidon") hitting the big screens and consequently sinking just as disastrously as its titular ship, I thought it would be a good idea to plunge myself into the world of 1970s disaster movies. It would seem watery tales create mixed feelings with cinema goers (some hate this film, whilst a recent survey named it as the greatest disaster film ever), ...
...got my rubber ring at the ready and sat down to watch (duh duh duh) "The Poseidon Adventure"! The story (as if you don't know it already) tells of a luxury cruise liner, The Poseidon, which happens to be captained by Leslie Nielson. "Oh no" I hear you cry, but don't worry, he dies when it is hit by an enormous tidal wave on New Year's Eve. After flipping right over, some of the passengers (amongst them a renegade preacher played by Gene Hackman, ... Read review

Advantages: Gripping, and true to the books
Disadvantages: Not enough scenes with the Fawn?!

I remembered the TV series of this really well and I remember exactly how I felt when I was old enough to read the books for myself, when I went to see this at the cinema I wasn't sure I was going to come away satisfied... But I did! I loved this film from the very start to the last bit of the credits and well into the extra features. I though the characters were cast perfectly with lucy being perfect for the role. The special effects were fantastic ... Read review

Advantages: great watch
Disadvantages: very dark

An absolutely great movie. This movie was awesome from the word go. It's got a very atmospheric feel and all the characters in the film are great. The film is made up of a few short stories kinda like pulp fiction. It's a very graphic and violent movie based on the underworld and its comic book picturisation creates a great atmosphere. Micky Rourke in my opinion give the best performance of his career, even though he was only in it for around 30 ... Read review

...Certificate: 12A (in the UK) The first film release is the most sensational out of the 3. This is because it is where Peter Parker (played by Tobey Maguire) is transformed by a red-blue coloured spider into a superhero. We also see the departure of his uncle, Ben (played by Cliff Robertson) which leads to the hero becoming more responsible. We are also introduced to Aunt May (played by Rosemary Harris), who goes through so much as an Aunt and as ... Read review

Advantages: Old school Gore aplenty, decent make-up effects, DVD extras
Disadvantages: Poor acting, picture quality, story, script, dialogue...

Lots of bloodiness ensues in this no-budget, independent London gangster flick. But don't go thinking this is a Guy Ritchie or Martin Scorsese type gangster movie - it's far from it! The story is fairly straightforward: Crime boss Randall (David Warbeck!), looks to increase his growing empire by hiring 'legendary' hitman, Walker, to take out his arch enemy, Harris and his crew. But what Randall didn't mention to hitman Walker was that he has no intention ...
...betrayal orders his death once his mission is accomplished... big mistake! It's all an amateur effort from a group people having a bit of fun it seems. You'll see better acting in primary School plays, seriously! But like I mentioned before, this is all over-the-top fun, with David Warbeck amusing in his brief campy performance (one of his last too). Surprisingly though, the movie does feature quite an impressive arsenal of weapons that would give ... Read review
