Vintage Besson - far better than "Leon"

Advantages: Slick, beautiful and exciting film - the best of Besson for me
Disadvantages: Subtitled, therefore some will miss out

...serviceable as the Clerk that Nikita falls for, but the award for screen-stealing goes to Reno as Victor the cleaner. Absolutely suberb. Awhile back a friend asked me if I wanted to see "The Assasin" - I declined. Without even seeing the film I knew what the Hollywood remake treatment was like and had no wish to see such an inferior movie. I did, however, check with all the Film reviewers in papers, etc that I think are normally worth a damn (I.e. ...

Review of Nikita (DVD)

I wish I was a Dolphin

Advantages: scenery, subject
Disadvantages: plot

...have come to love. The story in its simplicity is that of Jacques and his love of the sea and its creatures but also draws in Enzo a champion freediver and someone who has known Jacques since childhood, and Johana an american Insurance worker who meets Jacques in Peru where his bodily responses to being underwater and at depth are being monitored by a scientist. The plot as it is is sadly weak meaning the film relies on the gorgeous scenery of ...
...Johana, but this is not the love story of Jacques and Johana but of Jacques and the sea, as such you are forced to recognise that Johana is more an accessory than a pivotal part of the story and it is the sea and his underwater family of dolphins that Jacques truely loves. At 163 minutes long this is a long time to be watching a film which consists of little more than scenery but some how there is something more to it, a sense that in some way it ...

Review of Bruce Willis - Die Hard / Die Hard 2 / The Siege / The Fifth Element (Box Set) (DVD) (RESCHEDULED) (DVD)

The Bigger the hit, the faster the rush, the Sweeter the revenge!

Advantages: Great action packed film, Great actors, Good storyline
Disadvantages: You may not be able to get into the story-line!

...WHSmith. ***CRANK 2*** Crank 2: High Voltage was released this year and contains Jason Statham again. Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...
...I wouldn’t hesitate to watch Crank 2. My dad did how-ever borrow the DVD and after 30mins he switched it off as he couldn’t quite get into the film. If you like Jason as an actor and if you like his other films I think you with thoroughly enjoy this film. I would recommend it to anyone who like’s action packed films. (review als on dooyoo) ...

Review of Crank (DVD)

2012 true or wrong

Advantages: I believe in god so I do not believe the end of 2012.
Disadvantages: 2012 film is entertainment. so make it fun for our minds

...if you buy the hype, 2012 is going to be the year of that will see the end of humanity, much like the earlier 2000s saw the downfall of TRL. The year of shock. Horror. Awe. Awe-some! I am currently much anticipating the apocalypse, especially if it involves John Cusack and will finally foresee that sinful state, California, falling into the Pacific Ocean, where it belongs, obviously. I am anticipating it as much as I did Y2K, with my gallons of water ...
...the claims of December 21, 2012 (in addition to it being my future wedding date), being the end of this current "cycle" we're upon. The Mayans were a very intelligent civilization for their time--they were able to calculate the time of day, and their mathematical accomplishments floored any Europeans' of the time. But there's a lot of controversy as to what December 21, 2012, signifies to them. Of course it's the end of their calendar cycle, but ...
