Advantages: Good acting, and some nice twists
Disadvantages: None

...the movie is called Assassins and Stallone doesn't realise that Banderos is behind him!! Oh dear, this could have been a shorter film than what was expected. Any way I digress, sit comfortably, relax and on with the review…. This film was released twelve years ago; I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this at the Cinema that this was a Richard Donner film. This man has directed Superman, 4 Lethal Weapon films, and shows no signs of slowing down. ...
...collection of actors, Stallone playing Robert Rath, the professional assassin on the verge of retirement and wanting to do one more job. Stallone plays the role very well and looks the part completely. When watching the film you really do believe him in the role as someone who is tired and feels he has reached the end of his usefulness and wants to move on. The female lead in the film is the ever reliable Julianne Moore who plays Electra. She went ... Read review

Advantages: Funny in some parts
Disadvantages: Poor story , Too much action

...*NEW* James Bond movie : Quantum of Solace. I have never liked James Bond , so when at school on the last day of term before Christmas , we were told that everyone HAD to watch a movie in the school theatre , I was happy to sit there and watch a good old film ; thinking it would be something Christmassy like Love Actually. When the headmaster said we would be watching the James Bond movie : Die Another Day. I was quite annoyed to say the least! I ...
...suggested going to watch the Quantum of Solace movie at our local cinema the other night , I wasn't to keen on going , but didn't want to stay in either as it wasn't a very good telly night! (hehe!). So I decided to go too! Believe it or not , Quantum of Solace is the twenty second film from the James Bond series! (I couldn't believe it when I found out! I knew that there had been a few movies but didn't think it was that many!) In this film , ... Read review

Advantages: Harrison Ford
Disadvantages: Script, Story, CGI, Music

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystall Skull is a very dissapointing film, and considering it came from Steven Spielberg and George Lucas it should have been so much better. Indy4 is a mess, as soon as I saw the first shot of a CGI gopher i knew this film would be a disaster. A bad story and an awful script is to blame, plus way too much CGI! The acting is mediocre but that is because of the bad script. The lack of the Indiana Jones theme ...
...weakest of the 4 films anymore! Harrison Ford is great in this and for this it gets an extra star but thats the only good thing I have to say about this film. Ill be sticking with the original trilogy DVDs, a true dissapointment to any Indiana Jones fan :( ... Read review

Advantages: Great Film
Disadvantages: Boring parts

...stars as Johnny Blaze / Ghost Rider... Now I'm pretty sure that 99% of you guys know who Nicolas Cage is as he is quite a famous actor, however he is not one of my favourite due to the fact I really don't like his voice... He is best known for being in these films: Face/Off (Played Castor Troy/Sean Archer), National Treasure (Played Benjamin Gates), The Weather Man (Played David Spiritz), The Wicker Man (Played Edward Malus in the 2006 film). Most ...
...the old story about the ghost rider and about how the last one hid himself away from Mephistopheles and also hid the contract. But then it skips to where Johnny Blaze starts his adventure as the one, the only Ghost rider, yet he doesn't quite know it yet. It takes you through his everyday life, living with his dad, having a girlfriend, living in a circus, where he and his dad do motorbike tricks. But Johnny's noticed that his dad has been smoking ...

Advantages: Fun, cool, funny, slick, looks fab
Disadvantages: A bit too much on the mechanics looking cool

...of Marvel Comics' latest-to-be-exploited superheroes, Iron Man, aka billionaire playboy, business tycoon, and part-time genius, Tony Stark. The film opens with a fantastic choreography of events: sandwiched between scenes of Tony Stark being cool and glamorous and basically living it up, whether in the back of an army jeep in the Afghan desert, or flashbacks to his 'normal' lifestyle, comes a brutal change in pace. When his escorting army convey ...
...little tired of po-faced superheroes. Iron Man injects huge amounts of fun into the scenes of Stark building and learning to use his new suit, which is just as well, as I can imagine some might grow a little bored of all the mechanical gizmo-type scenes: I'm obviously quite impressed by such things, as it was only afterwards I realised that there is perhaps a little *too* much time spent on lingering shots of robotics and machine parts, and repeated ...
