Great Train Robbery - Most charming Connery ever
Advantages: Great plot, breath-taking situations, very entertaining
Disadvantages: no extras
...GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY (DVD)---------------------------
The First Great Train Robbery is a story by the late Michael Crichton who wrote it first as a novel and then adapted and directed it for the big screen, loosely based on real history.
-- PLOT
Edgar Pierce (Connery) is a gentleman and a thief, he can move with nonchalance between the high society and the slums of London, perfectly knowing how to deal with people of both. After hearing at a high ...
...ingots being moved on the London and Folkestone passenger train, Edgar Pierce cannot stop thinking about the gold!
In 1855 TNT hadn't been invented yet and all the "jobs" which involved a safe were based on making sets of duplicate keys from wax impressions for the locks. Inevitable is the need of a skilled screwsman. Agar (Sutherland) becomes Pierce's accomplice along with other picturesque character of a Victorian era.
The robbery takes over ...

God this is rubbish!
Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Awful adaptation of a classic Alan Moore Comic book
I will begin the review with brutal honesty, if this film were a bird it would be a massively expensive wrapped turkey, if it were a football team it would be Newcastle United (no offence to Toon fans) and if it were a comic book it would be a million times better than this....oh it was!! The League of Extraordinary Gentleman is based on Alan Moore's brilliantly imaginative graphic novel of the same name, the premise of the film should lend itself ...
...an alternate universe, the Fantom is trying to start a World War by manipulating World powers into believing others are plotting and acting against them causing an air of fear and oppression, led by the heroic Alan Quatermain a team of literary hero's of the era must stop the Fantom and save the world, putting aside their own rivalries and idiocyncracies in the process. The film follows Alan Quatermain, Captain Nemo, Mina Harker, The Invisible Man, ...

Golden, Golden, Golden Bond
Advantages: 3 Great Films
Disadvantages: Rather expensive RRP on them in comparsion
Golden, Golden, Golden. Undoubtedly 3 of the best Bonds. First of all theres Goldfinger featuring evil arch villain (you guessed it) Goldfinger, has a strange obsession of murdering people by covering them in solid gold paint. Will Goldfinger succeed in his attempt to rob Fort Knox, surely not, but hey, it's Bond... anything can happen. The Second Golden film, this time, is the Man With the Golden Gun. Here new Bond Roger Moore, takes on new villain ...
...uses a Golden Gun. So when Bond receives a bullet with his name on from him, things start to get a bit heated. Will Scaramanga succeed in assassinating Bond, or will he be made to bite the "bullet". The third Golden Bond is Golden Eye, this sees yet another new Bond, Pierce Brosnan, star in his debut film. Things look bad for Bond when his best friend 006 appears to be assassinated. After a massive electromagnetic pulse, is set off, Bind goes in ...

Its not 'mothers' day, is it?
Advantages: retains some of the originals quirkiness
Disadvantages: cut too much
...strange weather around London & the Ministry (a sort of MI5 establishment) headed by Mother (a codename) has been tasked by the PM to find out what is going on. In steps Steed, sort of a 007 character who manages to get by without a gun, just a bullet proof waistcoat, bowler hat & sword concealed in an umbrella.
They think that the adverse weather conditions are related to a government project called Prospero so a meeting is arranged with the former ...
...Prospero is a bit like the American star Wars project in so much as there is an umbrella (weather puns throughout the film) covering the country to protect from attack which uses lighting & tornadoes to block missiles. She thinks that the mostly likely person to investigate is Sir August De Wintyr disgraced head of the project & leader of BROLLY (British Royal Organisation for Lasting Liquid Years). He seems to have lost the plot a bit since he thinks ...
