Advantages: fresh approach to bond
Disadvantages: not the classic bond attitude

As I was lucky enough to get this movie on blu-ray for free from Sony, I had to watch it in high definition. Truly stunning, awesome quality on a pretty good bond movie. It has enough action in, and is generally a good movie, however I feel that Sony have placed too much in-movie advertising.. the sony viao laptops, the sony ericsson phones, and the sony blu-ray player and discs. But if you're into the movie you wont notice that, it doesnt exactly ...
...Daniel Craig plays in beautifully, although he's not quite the same 007 as what I am used to.It's the littel things really, for example when he is asked shaken or stirred... shaken right?... no apparently he doesnt give a damn. The movie gets straight into action, and then calms down, and then action, and calm and then action... it goes up and down over and over. But the ending is good and I'll not give away any spoilers. Now if I didn't get this ...

Review of Casino Royale (Blu-Ray)

XXX2

Advantages: Great action some good music in it
Disadvantages: none really

...I do like the second xxx 2 the next level better that the first. I hope they bring a thrid out, the way the second is left leaves it open for a follow up. Vin is a really good actor but he is hardly in the second of any of his films and this is no exception. The second one is more upbeat and positive. The idea of the film is to recruit seceret agents that have been "Bad" a little like assasin if you have ever seen that. The agents then go undercover, ...

Review of XXX - Extreme Edition/XXX 2: The Next Level (DVD)

Action packed spy adventure

Advantages: Great fun
Disadvantages: none

...he tried something different with True Lies. True Lies is an action-packed film about Harry Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger), an American spy working for a government organisation called Omega Sector, along with his partner Albert Gibson (Tom Arnold). However, Harry is hiding his life as a spy from his wife, Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) and daughter, Dana (Eliza Dushku), by pretending to be a computer salesman. He is routinely missing big family events ...
...is neglecting them. Harry has his own problems dealing with Middle Eastern terrorists led by Salim Abu Aziz (Art Malik), who has stolen nuclear weapons and are threatening to nuke the US. This is an exciting film that has been influenced a bit by the Bond films. However having Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character leading a double life adds a twist, which is also humourous. As you would expect from a James Cameron film, the story is great and full of ...

Review of True Lies (DVD)

Golden, Golden, Golden Bond

Advantages: 3 Great Films
Disadvantages: Rather expensive RRP on them in comparsion

Golden, Golden, Golden. Undoubtedly 3 of the best Bonds. First of all theres Goldfinger featuring evil arch villain (you guessed it) Goldfinger, has a strange obsession of murdering people by covering them in solid gold paint. Will Goldfinger succeed in his attempt to rob Fort Knox, surely not, but hey, it's Bond... anything can happen. The Second Golden film, this time, is the Man With the Golden Gun. Here new Bond Roger Moore, takes on new villain ...
...uses a Golden Gun. So when Bond receives a bullet with his name on from him, things start to get a bit heated. Will Scaramanga succeed in assassinating Bond, or will he be made to bite the "bullet". The third Golden Bond is Golden Eye, this sees yet another new Bond, Pierce Brosnan, star in his debut film. Things look bad for Bond when his best friend 006 appears to be assassinated. After a massive electromagnetic pulse, is set off, Bind goes in ...

Review of James Bond Ultimate Golden Triple Pack - Goldfinger/The Man With The Golden Gun/Goldeneye (Box Set) (DVD)

The final installment of the famous Mummy Trilogy.

Advantages: Good story and acting performances, gorgeous picture quality, plethora of special features
Disadvantages: None

I'm going to admit from the off that I despised the first two Mummy films. I can't put my finger on why; possibly the setting, storyline or poor acting? Whatever the reason, the films bored me to tears and were a sure way to send me to sleep. With this being said, it won't come as a surprise to you when I state I wasn't looking forward to the third and final instalment in The Mummy series. So did I fall asleep during yet another Mummy movie or did ...
...changes have been made since the last instalment of the series, with the director Rob Cohen coming in to replace Stephen Sommers being the most obvious. The film is set in China, a country that Cohen happens to have a keen interest in fro recent studies of the country's history and therefore this helped add passion and little touches to the movie. Brendan Fraser returns as the no-nonsense Mummy hunter, but has apparently changed wives due to the ...
