...from the late Eighties... LETHAL WEAPON: DIRECTOR'S CUT DVD This version of the film has a longer running time than the original theatrical cut (117 minutes instead of the previous 110 minutes).

...well. The villains in Lethal Weapon are drug dealers that are connected to the death of Amanda Hunsaker (following the discovery that her suicide wasn't actually suicide - and that she'd taken a cocktail of drugs that would have killed her even if she hadn't jumped from the building) - and are actually pretty nasty pieces of work (although not a patch on the bad guys that appear in Lethal Weapon 2 - but that's another issue for another review... ...

Disadvantages: Some may prefer the other Indiana films

...been to see the latest Indiana Jones film this morning and thought I would share my opinion on it. I have always been a fan of the Indiana Jones films and wondered whether this could live up to my expectations as after all it has been quite some time since the last instalment we had!

Advantages: It shows you just how bad hollywood movies can get
Disadvantages: It shows you just how bad hollywood movies can get

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle is yet another example of a movie that has had a lot of good advertising but can prove a disappointment for some once you've watched it. In fact, I can list it as one of the worst big budget action movies I have ever watched. Why? First of all the acting was not impressive, especially coming from an all star cast, which included actors such as Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz, Demi Moore, Bruce Willis, Bernie ...
...goes to waste. There is also the fact that the angels are not required to do much acting, mostly posing and looking pretty. Another thing that absolutely killed me when watching this was the lack of really good special effects as I had hoped it would at least have if nothing else. If the acting is not good in an action movie I would love for the stunts and effects to be great at least. The fight scenes and special effects weren't the least believable. ... Read review
