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 ...

Review of Gone In 60 Seconds (Blu-Ray) (2000)

Rocky Yes

Advantages: The Whole Film
Disadvantages: -

...said in my review of Rocky Six (Rocky Balboa) there is nothing better than Rocky on Blu-Ray. Having the first Rocky on Blu-Ray really works. Right the run down. The World Heavyweight Championship Apollo Creed comes up with the idea of fighting a local Philadelphia underdog, Rocky. Creed does not initially take the fight seriously, but Rocky unexpectedly knocks him down in the first round and the match turns intense. And when I say intense I mean ...
...all of us, but without Rocky starting it. Do you think it would have court on? The training in this one I have to say is the best out of them all purely for its 'wow' factor, and it was the first time we heard the song which would be burned into our minds forever. Also because the film is so popular, Philadelphia Museum of Art has become a cultural icon amongst fans of the films. The soundtrack, I cant find a fault in it. All the songs were put into ...

Review of Rocky Balboa (Blu-Ray)

Indies Back and looking Great

Advantages: Superb
Disadvantages: Dodgy Ending

Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. Some sarcastic and critical people have called this film 'Indiana Jones and The Milking of the 4th Cash Cow. The film as you might expect has a plethora of stars, Harrison Ford - Indiana Jones. Karen Allen - Marion Ravenwood. Shia LaBeouf - Mutt Willliams. John Hurt - Professor Oxley. Jim Broadbent Dean Charles Stanford. Kate Blanchett - Irina Spalko. Ray Winston - Mac George McHale. Notably ...
...Marcus (Denholm Mitchell Elliott) who died in 1992. A very brief synopsis of the story begins with Indie and Mac taken against their will to 'Area 51', where Clues lead them onwards ending up in the jungle. Along the way Indie will pick up a deranged John Hurt, an old flame and a unknown Son! I won't fill in the innards of the story because it really would spoil it for you. The soundtrack is nothing special apart of course from Indies theme tune. ...

Review of Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull (Blu-ray)

Kingdom of Heaven - all shiny in blu-ray

Advantages: high quality and an awesome film
Disadvantages: far more expensive than the regular DVD

My first experience with Kindgom of Heaven was at my house on a normal DVD, now my eyes have been opened. At a friends house we watched this on Blu ray and it was phenominal. The film itself bears little to fault, it is a good story with a range of different characters some likeable others not so. It is fast paced with a lot of bloody action that unfolds as the christians fight to hold Jerusalem. Orlando Bloom's portrayel of Bailin the blacksmith, ...
...whom i am a great fan) is good and we are introduced to his character and the background strait away. His wife had killed herself over the sadness of their still born son, his brother an unlikable priest has her head removed from her body upon her burial. He later confronts the blacksmith about the affair in an unspeakable manner and recieves a well deserved red hot sword to the stomach. Bailin's father who is knight riding to Jerusalem to fight ...

Review of Kingdom Of Heaven (Director's Cut) (Blu-Ray)

A raw, tragic and memorable tale of a real life conflict

Advantages: Rambo is a great character who has aged with us all. A strong story and acting.
Disadvantages: Unfortunately based on some very tragic real life events.

...started. Based on previous Rambo movies, I guess I was prepared to see action, lots of shouting and people running around with guns, tanks and so on and so on. Well I was right to expect those things, but what you get here is a very realistic and emotional tale of a tragic series of events going on in the real world as we speak. The Rambo character has turned himself away from the never ending conflicts, and tried to live a solitary existence in ...
...of my seat constantly as Rambo ran back and forth trying to help the younger, less experienced soldiers win their fight. The fact that this is on Blu-Ray makes the image sharper and more colourful, although the colours in general are dumbed down to make the forest look more dull. The music in this film is sad yet beautiful. A remarkable piece plays at the end of the battle, as the characters stand or sit down stunned at what they've just been through ...
