Get Carter (2000) Review

Advantages: Stallone
Disadvantages: Little Action

...threatens on numerous occasions in Get Carter to seriously kick some arse with all his tough talking and trademark snarl, but there's never really any follow through. Sure, he throws a few punches and fires a couple of shots (as a man in his business should); however, the film, on the whole, prefers to concentrate on Stallone being a good uncle, as if to say the character is really quite compassionate and sensitive beneath his chiselled surface. ...
...time. This, of course, is disappointing to all those are used to seeing Sly kick some serious arse. As far as movies go, Get Carter (2000) is instantly forgettable; and as far as remakes go, it all seems a bit pointless. I'd advise you to stick with the original. ...

Review of Death Race 2000 (DVD)

Better than the AWFUL remake

Advantages: Great cast and good plot
Disadvantages: Shows its age

...have been replaced by the Death Race, a drive across the country with the emphasis on the death part. Drivers score points by killing civilians with differing amounts of points given for differing catagories of people. More points given for the old and infirm, also for the young. This is a ride across a strictly ruled America with it's tongue well and truly buried in it's cheek. David Carradine plays Frankenstein, the most infamous Death Racer, known ...
...track record for success but you'll discover a sinister secret lurks under the black leather mask. Theres anarchists and some sex appeal with lady drivers and navigators as well as some nudity also which is not unwelcome either! Also even a great comic role and early film appearance by Sly Stallone. Every time I see this film I can never remember if I've seen it all until the end of the race. Then I recall where Carradine is and what happens to the ...
