Spider, The Trilogy... Light-hearted fun

Advantages: Kid friendly, easy top watch, likable hero
Disadvantages: 20 minutes of the third film are BAD. Not very scary.

This series is less dark than many of the other comic book movies. The sort of thing you don't even hesitate to let your kids watch. My 8 year old sister loves these movies. The first film shows the making of spiderman, with the Green Goblin as his main enemy. It follows the comic books pretty closely and Kirsten Dunst is a lovely MJ. Maguire is good as spiderman because he's not got the cool factor, which suits the character. The biggest difference ...
...second film has Dr Octopus as the villain, leading to a lot of nice stunts using those mechanical arms to climb buildings and so forth. The third film has a 20 minute period in the middle with 'evil spider man' that is just wrong, appalling and should be deleted. You need to be cool to pull that off, cool butch and manly, Maguire bless him, isn't. Good otherwise though. I like the villain the most out of the three and the method for killing him was ...

Review of Spider-Man Trilogy (Blu-ray) (Box Set)

00Heaven?

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 ...

...him. in this batman film the joker is a bit more of a terrorist than a criminal, with blackmail and hostages. batman has a sort of Q from james bond and a new good guy Harvey who is a sort of polatictian who has a dark ending. Cast Dark Knights cast is absolutly outstanding, they may not be brad pitt, tom cruise and keria knightly (they're really famous) but it has actors that act just as well if not better. a special congrates to Heath Ledger ...

Review of The Dark Knight (Blu-ray)

Donnie... Low Rider?

Advantages: Fast cars, robbery and fast cars
Disadvantages: I wanna see more!!

...suppose that may not have gone down well with the authorities! ---Facts--- Apparently all the stars went on a 3 day course on how to steal cars, performed by ex criminals. Some cars stolen are shown in the film how to disable their electronics. Interesting! ---Bonus material--- Not too much to shout about here. You get a Jerry Bruckheimer interview and filmography, featurettes on the big chase, making of, stunt driving school, actors interviews ...
...is a fantastic film. I would have loved to had an extra hour on top of it to establish the credibility of Raymond Calitri, maybe showing some of his previous deals as a crime boss and maybe having a late involvement from Jonny B either as a hindrence of a help to Memphis. Any game out the back of it would increase the backgrounds of the other crew members and each would have their own skill. I wonder if that idea is copywritten!!? Anyway before ...
