Great film

Advantages: all of it!
Disadvantages: not much

...in total). The first Predator movie is an action classic, with it's then pioneering in-your-face, first-person action sequences, setting a standard for action movies of the late 80's. This is also one of Arnie's best movies after the Terminator films(bar number 3), with some great "dialogue" between Arnie's character Dutch and Dillon, played by Carl Weathers - not forgetting Arnie's one-liners like "knock, knock" and "stick around". The DVD itself ...
...scenes and outtakes. Now, Predator 2 is not really a sequal, but a different story invloving the Predator, set in Los Angeles in the then future 1997. The film stands up on its own as a solid action movie, with a great performance from Danny Glover in the lead. It has that infamous scene with the "Alien" skull in the trophy room of the Predator ship, which spawned the Alien Vs Predator comics, and ofcourse the inevitable movie. Again the DVD is ...

Review of Predator / Predator 2 (Special Edition Box Set) (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)

If it bleeds, we can kill it!

Advantages: Great Arnie film
Disadvantages: Nothing really

...through the jungle, an unseen predator hunts Dutch and his men for no apparent reason, and it will take all their guile and experience to combat this new and deadly foe. The Cast and Performances Arnie is a mean machine in this film, and he is joined by an array of musclebound stars in his mission. His performance is very good, but does not require as much acting, as this is a largely action based role with the sci-fi and special effects aspect ...
...hunter becoming the hunted. The Predator is a marvel in special effects, and the FX team must get as shout out to them, although the man who wore the suit, Kevin Peter Hall, said he couldn 't see a damn thing with the mask on. The scenery is well chosen, with filming being taken in the jungle. The actors had to be buff all the way through the film, and it is reported that director John McTiernan and lead man Arnie lost a stone each due to the nature ...

Review of Predator (Vanilla Version) (DVD)

Should they have stopped at three?

Advantages: Lots of Famous faces playing lead roles.
Disadvantages: Introduction of Batgirl.

...fight scenes. This time around Batman ( now taken over by George Clooney) and his new partner ( Still played by Chris O'Donnel) face Dr.Freeze ( Arnold Schwarzenegger) as he tries to encapsulate Gotham city in ice. The character of Poison Ivy is played well by Uma Thurman and provides a nice break from the usual gung ho maniacs and their goons. Batman & Robin displays most of the characteristics of any 'Action' film made in the last decade. It has ...

He's back
