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 ... Read review

Advantages: Good action and story.
Disadvantages: The Hovis tune.

This is another excellent Harrison Ford film, surrounding the war on drugs. A friend of the US President is involved with, and then killed by a Colombian drug cartel, the Cali Cartel. In retaliation the President indirectly orders the setting up of a team to destroy the cartel and all its members. Harrison Ford is cast as Dr Jack Ryan, the Deputy Director of Intelligence. The other members of the intelligence staff keep Ryan in the dark over the ...
...the truth. The film has a number of interesting twists in it and is extremely well directed and acted. The action shots are very well filmed and in some excellent locations. The only part of the film I did not like was the sequence when dead Americans were being fetched home in coffins. This sad moment was done in extremely good taste, but unfortunately the backing music was the same music used in the traditional Hovis Bread advert and this completely ... Read review

Advantages: Some funny moments
Disadvantages: you will need some matchsticks to keep them eyes open

...heard about this latest film, Hollywood Homicide and seeing previews about it I was curious to get a taste of the action. Harrison Ford stars as Joe Gavilan, a well known detective who cannot capture the same success in his personal life as he does at work. There are 3 ex-wives in Joe's life and he is well and truly stuck with a particularly bad investment in a large house that he intended to sell as part of his side real estate business. His partner, ...
...when something exciting happens(yawn)* Hollywood Homicide is a cinematic misfire of epic and historical proportions. When the movie is obviously trying to be clever, no one is laughing because the jokes fall flat. The scenes were seriously jumbled and you couldn’t really get into the plot at times because it was so sloppy. There is only one amusing sequences that has Joe and K.C. being interrogated separately. They both do their best not to ... Read review

Advantages: The best movie of 2008...... So far
Disadvantages: It needed to be longer, if thats a flaw

...now find myself having watched Hancock awarding the movie the highest accolade I can by stating that of the movies so far, Hancock is the best movie of 2008. I avoided everything I possibly could to do with Hancock because to be honest the trailer failed to impress me. To my surprise I laughed, enjoyed the action, and was almost caused to shed a tear watching this very different superhero movie. In the past superhero movies characters are for the ...
..."Super Heroes". Hancock's superhero John Hancock (Will Smith) is not the traditional form of hero, he is an alcoholic, is verbally abusive, and has an appetite for destruction. While he wants to do good, nothing is ever quite thought through enough, while he might stop a group of armed thieves he may very well destroy half the city doing so. And this creates Hancock with a problem, he is not a superhero in the eyes of the public, he is a menace. ... Read review

Advantages: Better acting than Batman Forever and Batman and Robin, better costuming
Disadvantages: none that I can see

...the terrible mistakes which were Batman and Robin and Batman Forever. This time the costumes were good, the acting was good, and I actually enjoyed Katie Holmes in it even though for some reason I have been a bit prejudiced to her since Dawson's Creek and several other teenage movies she starred in in that era. As for the plot of the show, it's exactly like what the name suggests. It's about how Batman was made. I say buy it ;) ... Read review
