Advantages: indiana jones, action, adventure, danger, excitement
Disadvantages: none

Indiana Jones still compares to modern action films, but it goes a little beyond that maintaining and excellent storyline while keeping things light and fun. Harrison Ford plays Indiana the intrepid archaologist who finds himself, more often than not, in some of the most dangerous situations possible in the hunt for priceless artifacts. The series really has everything, religion, myths, danger, excitement, Nazis and even Sean Connery (playing Indies ...
...the trilogy, and an excellent idea for those who loved the recent 4th film release but have yet to experience the excellence of these first films. George Lucas and Steven Speilberg have done themselves proud creating a memorable experience which will never fade and really will stay in many peoples earts as some of the best films ever made. ...

Advantages: THE BEST FILM'S EVER
Disadvantages: RATHER PRICEY BOX SET

...- undoubtedly the greatest ever James Bond, whether it is sexy attitude towards the opposite sex or the amount of villains he has knocked out with one punch, he is the Best. What better way to relive these epic Connery adventures than to purchase this Dvd box set. Dr. No - The first bond film about a corrupt villain named (you guessed it) Dr No. From Russia With Love - Bond is sent to Russia in order to stop SPECTRE's attempt to rule the world (again). ...

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: 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
