Explosions, Explosions and more Explosions!!!

Advantages: 3 films for the price of 1
Disadvantages: No extras

...seperately, so here goes: Broken Arrow The Story is so simple and typical of an american writer, 2 Air Force pilots are pitted against each other in a race to recover two stolen nuclear warheads.It makes you wonder what realy happens over in america, they seem to lose more nuclear weapons than i care to imagine!!! What transpires is a Fast Paced action adventure that makes you wonder what incredibel feat will the main stars (Travolta, Slater) do ...
...myself during watching!(Namely after the scene on top of the train, i added "It's been a while since anyone has shot between her legs") Worth watching as it has good entertainment value. I still thoroughly enjoyed this film, yet it was not a remarkable performance by any of the cast nor director! Director:- John Woo Cast include's:- John Travolta, Christian Slater, Delroy Lindo Run Time:- 104mins approx The Siege This was the main film that ...

I love hostage

Advantages: Hostage!!!!!!
Disadvantages: Last man standing

This sounds pretty good, i have heard lots of good things about lucky number slevin, However Last man staanding bored me to sleep! My dad loved it however, i think last man standing is a bit more of a mans film, it didnt appeal to me at all, it wasn't very interesting and what little storyline it had moved that slowly i fell asleep. Hostage is definatley worth getting this for though, its an amazing film, It has an amazing plot with lots of twists ...
...is lots of unpredictable and edge of your seat action. and of course it stars the luscious Ben Foster. Ladies, prepare to drool. SO it has everything you could ever want in a film. its fast paced and action packed, but has a good story behind it instead of just being mindless special effects. its a must see! You have to see it just to see ben fosters gorgeous face! The plot will definately keep you interested too! ...

Crank It Up

Advantages: Quality action scenes, Jason Statham THE MAN FOR THE PART!!
Disadvantages: If there is such a thing as too much action...

...movie than a blunt instrument, Crank is an explosion of sex, violence and drugs, which have their effects used in the short term, but showing in every scene becomes a tad tedious. From the look of it, first time directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor looked to make a compact film with a running time of 83 minutes. Although the size, the directors refused to leave out any graphic scene, which they had obviously been storing up for their cinematic ...
...hitman, Chev Chelios (One of the worst hitman names in cinematic history) who has been lethally injected with some sort of Chinese sh*t, which he realises when he finds a DVD on his of course, huge flat screen television. From the obscenity scrawled across his face you could tell that it was not there before he went to bed. The DVD is of a cringingly stereotypical Latino villain Verona (Jose Pablo Cantillo) gleefully gloating about injecting him ...
