A computer game heroine
Advantages: The sexy Angelina Jolie
Disadvantages: Weak story
Fans of the Lara Croft computer game were eagerly anticipating the release of the film adaptation, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. It is directed by Simon West and was released in 2001.
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is about an archeologist/tomb raider, Lara croft (Angelina Jolie), who belongs to a wealthy British aristocratic family. She spends most of her time travelling the world searching for ancient artefacts, using her expert knowledge and combat skills ...
...a secret society, called the Illuminati in their search for pieces of a mysterious device which when combined, during a rare alignment of planets, will give the owner unlimited power. Croft must find and destroy the device before the evil Illuminati can use it for their own nefarious purposes.
This is an enjoyable film with a decent story which is a bit weak in places. It is very similar to the Indiana Jones films in terns of style and plot, but ...

00Heaven?
Advantages: fresh approach to bond
Disadvantages: not the classic bond attitude
As I was lucky enough to get this movie on blu-ray for free from Sony, I had to watch it in high definition. Truly stunning, awesome quality on a pretty good bond movie.
It has enough action in, and is generally a good movie, however I feel that Sony have placed too much in-movie advertising.. the sony viao laptops, the sony ericsson phones, and the sony blu-ray player and discs.
But if you're into the movie you wont notice that, it doesnt exactly ...
...Daniel Craig plays in beautifully, although he's not quite the same 007 as what I am used to.It's the littel things really, for example when he is asked shaken or stirred... shaken right?... no apparently he doesnt give a damn.
The movie gets straight into action, and then calms down, and then action, and calm and then action... it goes up and down over and over.
But the ending is good and I'll not give away any spoilers.
Now if I didn't get this ...

The Complete James Bond, 'No Mr. Bond, I expect you to buy...'
Advantages: Good collection of films, iconic characters, stylish presentation
Disadvantages: Out-dated in its collection
THE JAMES BOND COMPLETE COLLECTION
I brought this a while back and I must say it is excellent. The presentation is top-notch, the silver briefcase just about the coolest DVD container in the world. It chronicles every film from Sean Connery's 'Dr. No' to the more recent Pierce Brosnan outing 'Die Another Day'. Of course it does not hold the newest additions, Daniel Craig's 'Casino Royale' and 'Quantum of Solace' but as these are generally new in ...
...watch, if not always for the story then definitely for the generational features. Think Roger more in his 70s safari suit, Sean Connery in his trilby. And then of course you have the women.
The big downside to this box set, of course, is that there's always going to be more James Bond films. It may not be in date for very long. Also the price is fairly steep, yet is falling due to the release of newer additions.
Despite this, in my opinion you ...

Casino Royale 2?
Advantages: You will stay 106 minutes in front of your tv watching action
Disadvantages: I feel lack of something
...writing a review on the Quantum of Solace too. I won’t go over all the James Bond films I promise. The Quantum of Solace has more referrals to the previous film in line, Casino Royale than other series did. I mean that there are some dialogues between M and James Bond that can be understood only if you have seen previously Casino Royale. The film was directed by Mark Forsters. The running time is 106 minutes and the classification is 12A. The film ...
...about James Bond, visit: http://www.007.com/ The plot ------------ James Bond (Daniel Craig) tries to find the members of the organisation that blackmailed his beloved Vesper Lynd (Eva Green from Casino Royale). It seems that his action is motivated by revenge and M (Judi Dench) pays attention on his movements. He meets a beautiful girl, Camille (Olga Kurylenco) who leads him directly to Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric). Camille is hunting for General ...

Casino Royale - Take a gamble it's worth it!
Advantages: Great film ticks all the right boxes
Disadvantages: None
...couldn’t get very enthusiastic when Casino Royale hit the big screen and I wasn’t one of the first in the queue to go and see it (not even the Orange Wednesdays offer could get me there). Instead I waited for the DVD and eventually watched it one evening when I had nothing much else to do. Casino Royale – Brief Plot Summary It seems to be the fashion nowadays to make a couple of films and then release one that takes you back to the start (remember ...
...up for this. In Casino Royale we see how James has to learnt the hard way not to trust anyone, a lesson which makes me sympathise more now with the arrogant sexist side of Bond, because I think I now know why he acts like that. Along with the amazing stunts, wonderful costumes, breathtaking scenery (parts of this film shot on location in Lake Como, Venice and the Bahamas) this film also has some amazing actors/actresses who all give 110% in their ...
