...Tim Curry (Titanic). I enjoyed this DVD quite alot but found that about half way through i was begging for it to end (watched it with girlfriend who loved it) its a film for people who are into fiction and far fetched action with not really any storyline the place i bought it from was costcutter (where i worked at the time) for £5.99 which i think was a reasonable price to say it was new thanks for all the feedback and ideas you members have given ...

Bond is back and Better than before
Review of Casino Royale DVD by valve90210

Advantages: A great start to a new era in the Bond Franchise
Disadvantages: Much too long a wait for the next film in the same style

...to be a retelling of Casino Royale, I was intrigued but also worried that it would be a horrible mess. As more was released about the film, how it was going to take a darker road, and was to be treated as the birth of a new era of Bond, it started to become clear that this was going to be something rather different to what had come before. From the word go, this film is vintage Bond, chases, violence, sharp dialogue, it's all there (in fact it's ...
...little of the poetic license with regards the physical action). And as for Mr Craig.... well I admit I was wrong, he IS James Bond, he truely looked, spoke, ran, jumped, breathed...lived the part, he IS Bond!!! There are some flaws with the film but mainly due to the origins type nature of it, however on the whole it's an exciting and thrilling film and opens Bond up to the viewer unlike previous films, so we see what makes him tick and what has ...

Great Idea, Mediocre Movie...
Review of Chain Reaction DVD by CaptainDisaster

Advantages: It tries really hard to be a tense techno-thriller...
Disadvantages: ... but fails, mainly through poor editing and production style.

...I'm Chain Reaction starts off with an intriguing premise and goes downhill from there, despite trying really hard to be a tense techno-thriller. In The initial idea, of a new power-source being developed from water (we're not talking traditional hydro-power here though) - which supposedly has the capacity to use the hydrogen in small glass of water to power the whole city of Chicago for weeks -is brilliant. The idea of the rich and powerful oil companies ...
...it's not bad. Chain There's a brain behind this film (somewhat a rarity for this genre), but unfortunately it's been rather lost in the translation. It's almost as though someone said, "Hey, here's a brilliant idea for a film, let's turn it into a mediocre movie" - and lo! - it became so. It's certainly not a terrible film - watching it didn't leave me feeling that part of my life had been stolen - just that I hadn't made a profit on what time I'd ... Read review

Wonderful family fantasy!
Review of The Chronicles Of Narnia - The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe DVD by chrisynth

Advantages: amazing landscapes in narnia, lovable characters, fun for the family
Disadvantages: The acting is slightly cheesy.

...this film came out at the cinema i jumped at the chance of seeing it and saw it within a few days of it's release. I was in awe, the landscapes pictured were beautiful and everything was played out so well, even though a little cheesy acting at times. The emotions which this film evoke bring back childhood memories and this can become a very sentimental film. There is just something about this film which made it one of my all time favourites. It ...
...brilliant, original storyline from the C.S. Lewis classic. The four pevensie siblings: Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are all very well played and you grow to love the characters. I am glad this film has a battle scene for the adults otherwise it would put a lot of people off from watching it. As soon as this dvd was released in the UK i snapped it up and watched it a couple more times. I just couldn't get enough of it. This is still one of my all ... Read review

Casino Royal!
Review of Casino Royale (Collector's Edition) by becksfletcher2008

Advantages: Great film
Disadvantages: None

Casino Royal is an excellent James Bond Film, I have not previously been a big fan of these kind of movies but this one was FAb. the special effects were really good and Daniel Craig played a great part. The storyline was not predictable unlike some of he James Bond movies with the 'James bond girls. The trailer for the movie does show alot of the good parts however when you have seen the movie you dont seem to realise that them parts have been on ...
...parts of the film, quite deciving actually. An excellent addition to anyones movie collection and is a must for anyone who enjoys James Bond. Also this movie has a great soundtrack and Judy Dench plays a brilliant part as usual. I really could not fault this film. Excellent movie , ecen better to watch in the cinema! ... Read review
