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

Advantages: Great action movie with great actors
Disadvantages: Movie is not long enough

In my opinion by far the best movie of 2005. Not only starring two great HollyWood stars, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, but also directed by the great film director Doug Liman. This film is great action mixed with a little bit of humour, and both Brad and Angelina play their roles beautifully. This film begins with a unhappyly married couple, both of whom are high-class assassins, and both of whom are oblivious to each others true occupations. ...

Advantages: A great gothic anime
Disadvantages: Not for everyone

...the first episode from the Hellsing OVA (original video animation). Originally there was a 13 episode anime of Hellsing but this strayed from the original Manga which the anime is based on. Hellsing ultimate is still in development but there are currently three episodes each of which are fifty minutes. Fans have praised Hellsing Ultimate due to its better representation of the characters and storylines. Story The story follows the adventures ...
