True love, beyond lust, idealism and compromise.

Advantages: Heart-wrenching story that still moves me

Review of Robin And Marian (DVD)

Jack Ryan vs Harrison Ford

Advantages: All Jack Ryan stories are together and in order
Disadvantages: Jack Ryan played by different actors

...Soviet nuclear sub heading for the US. The Government think he is going to attack but Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin) thinks he wants to defect. Jack has a couple of hours to prove his theory before the US Government find the 'Red October' and blow it up. Sean Connery is brilliant as usual but I found The Hunt for Red October very slow to start with, although it got exciting towards the end. *Patriot Games* Patriot Games had me hooked from start to finish. ...
...then a race to stop the terrorist whose brother he killed from killing his family. Non-stop action and suspense. *Clear and Present Danger* Clear and Present Danger had me hooked from start to finish (although slightly complicated storyline). Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford) is appointed acting CIA Deputy Director of Intelligence aqnd heads off to Colombia to investigate the murder of one of the President's friends. This film is full of action and cover ...

Review of The Jack Ryan Collection (Box Set) (DVD)

The Rock, Bad Company and Veronica Guerin.

Advantages: The Rock is great!
Disadvantages: Other two movies quite average.

This set is great value, the first move "The Rock" see's Sean Connery at his best, scenes from this movie have been reinacted many times in many well known computer games. With non-stop action, a rougue ex-militery guy threatening to fire deadly chemical rockets at downtown San Fransico and Nicolas cage as an FBI agent, this is a MUST-SEE! The other films are ok too, and worth seeing. Bad company is one of those films you may want to see again, ...
...also enjoy it. But the main reason you should buy this is "The Rock". This truly is one of Sean Connery's best performances, and along with Nicolas Cage they rearly do make this a must see movie. Not recomended for children under 15, some scenes are disturbing! ...

Review of The Rock / Bad Company / Veronica Guerin (Box Set) (DVD)

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)

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. ...
