Review of Days Of Thunder (DVD)

3 of the best

Advantages: Action packed and all together
Disadvantages: Face/Off can be a little confusing

Nicolas Cage maybe my most loved actor ever! in all 3 films he gives incredible performaces combined with amazing action shots that would put a lot of films to shame. The Rock: With a rouge general and special forces team loose of Alcatraz with enough missiles and VX gas to destroy most of San fransico. Only an FBI lab rat has the knowledge and cool to disarm the weapons. Teaming up with Sean Connery the only man to ever break ou of the infamous ...

Review of Nicholas Cage Collection - The Rock / Face/Off / Gone In 60 Seconds (DVD)

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)

Gone in 60 Seconds - Director's Cut

Advantages: Great camera work, great cast, fantastic cars
Disadvantages: None for me, enjoyed every minute

Fast, fun and exciting film. Great cast with great action scenes and camera work. Brilliant line up of cars and a most enjoyable watch. Good storyline, very good watch! Film starts with a fast, high adrenaline street race and moves on to the grand theft auto as the film progresses. I enjoyed every bit of the film, it did not get boring at any stage for me. The '67 Shelby GT500 is definately my favourite car in the film and the main chase in the film ...

Review of Gone In 60 Seconds (Director's Cut) (DVD)

a montage of gasoline fueled action

Advantages: pure entertainment with no intellectual challenge
Disadvantages: can be too cheesey if not your thing

...for, to be entertaining. Top Gun, the most expensive ever made at the time of its release, tells the story of a reckless but brilliant young US navy fighter pilot (Maverick) living in the shadow of his reputable fighter pilot father. The film follows Maverick and his co-pilot and best friend, Goose, through the training ground that is 'Top Gun', the pilot school where the 'best of the best' are pitted against each other. This film has all the usual ...
...sees Maverick competing at the top of his class before being involved in a tragic accident in the air. Struggling with the mental effects of the incident, Maverick reconsiders what is important to him before being called into a real life crisis where his strength is tested for real. Some of the visual effects are impressive for their time, and a perfectly suited soundtrack make for an exhilerating experience. No wonder everybody wanted to be a fighter ...
