A re-make that is definitely worth watching

Advantages: A very good attempt at re-making the story
Disadvantages: not an epic movie but it is good in it's own right

...tale of good v's evil. Jason played by Jason London, embarks on a mission to find the Golden Fleece. This is to save his mother from his evil uncle Pelias played by Dennis Hopper, who murdered Jason's father, the king and took his wife for his own. One of the Argonauts {Jason's crew} is also Hercules, who is a real fun character and has the strength of ten men. The film contains great lush scenery. The storyline only slightly deviates from the original ...
...film was originally shot with Jason dying at the end. If you like Greek mythology or anything to do with Greece in Antiquity, then sadly there is not a plethora of films out there. However, this film would be a worthy addition to any collection. The film also includes Frank Langella playing King Aertes, and Natasha Henstridge as Hypsipyle. The film comes with 2.0 Dolby surround sound, and a making of documentary. It is digitally mastered, and there ...

Review of Jason And The Argonauts (DVD)

The Prisoner - a seminal piece of science fiction drama

Advantages: Great premise, characters and stories
Disadvantages: Does look a little dated, may be considered 'too weird' for some

...possibly a spy, who in the famous opening credits, resigns from his highly secret role with the intention of leaving the country. Kidnapped by un-named sources, he awakes in a strange picturesque village where everyone is pleasant, but from which there is no escape. Introduced to the shady village chairman 'Number Two', The Prisoner realises nobody has names, only numbers, money has been replaced by credit units, the taxis only operate a 'local service' ...
...resigned. It is not only the forces that want to find this information out - over the course of the seventeen episodes here, the viewer becomes just as engrossed! The series opener, 'Arrival' sets up the ethos of the series excellently, and provides the backing for McGoohan's vision of Portmeirion as an eerily pleasant 'home away from home', and a location where nothing is as it seems. Although to the casual viewer this series may appear dated, ...

The Bigger the hit, the faster the rush, the Sweeter the revenge!

Advantages: Great action packed film, Great actors, Good storyline
Disadvantages: You may not be able to get into the story-line!

...WHSmith. ***CRANK 2*** Crank 2: High Voltage was released this year and contains Jason Statham again. Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...
...I wouldn’t hesitate to watch Crank 2. My dad did how-ever borrow the DVD and after 30mins he switched it off as he couldn’t quite get into the film. If you like Jason as an actor and if you like his other films I think you with thoroughly enjoy this film. I would recommend it to anyone who like’s action packed films. (review als on dooyoo) ...

Review of Crank (DVD)

2012 true or wrong

Advantages: I believe in god so I do not believe the end of 2012.
Disadvantages: 2012 film is entertainment. so make it fun for our minds

...if you buy the hype, 2012 is going to be the year of that will see the end of humanity, much like the earlier 2000s saw the downfall of TRL. The year of shock. Horror. Awe. Awe-some! I am currently much anticipating the apocalypse, especially if it involves John Cusack and will finally foresee that sinful state, California, falling into the Pacific Ocean, where it belongs, obviously. I am anticipating it as much as I did Y2K, with my gallons of water ...
...the claims of December 21, 2012 (in addition to it being my future wedding date), being the end of this current "cycle" we're upon. The Mayans were a very intelligent civilization for their time--they were able to calculate the time of day, and their mathematical accomplishments floored any Europeans' of the time. But there's a lot of controversy as to what December 21, 2012, signifies to them. Of course it's the end of their calendar cycle, but ...

Review of 2012

The fast was fast and the furious were furious

Advantages: Effects, Performance
Disadvantages: Ending

Overall the movie turned out not to be as boring as I thought it would be. When I heard about it I thought "great another movie about fast racing cars". After wathching it, my opinion changed. The actors/actresses performances were very well done. The effects made you hold your breath untill the sence was over and want to know what happens next. Being that I watched it after the fourth one was already out It was perfect Knowing ther was more to come. ...
...see this back round info.The reason it was good instead of excellent was because of the ending, which was really cool but could have been better. Unfortunetley, withut spoiling the movie there is only so much I can tell you. Thankyou for reading and I hope It was Excellent. ...
