Donnie... Low Rider?
Advantages: Fast cars, robbery and fast cars
Disadvantages: I wanna see more!!
...suppose that may not have gone down well with the authorities!
---Facts---
Apparently all the stars went on a 3 day course on how to steal cars, performed by ex criminals. Some cars stolen are shown in the film how to disable their electronics. Interesting!
---Bonus material---
Not too much to shout about here. You get a Jerry Bruckheimer interview and filmography, featurettes on the big chase, making of, stunt driving school, actors interviews ...
...is a fantastic film. I would have loved to had an extra hour on top of it to establish the credibility of Raymond Calitri, maybe showing some of his previous deals as a crime boss and maybe having a late involvement from Jonny B either as a hindrence of a help to Memphis. Any game out the back of it would increase the backgrounds of the other crew members and each would have their own skill. I wonder if that idea is copywritten!!?
Anyway before ...

Bond quits and shows his true grit!
Advantages: Dalton is refreshing as Bond
Disadvantages: Special effects - not traditional Bond
...run as Bond in 1989's Licence to Kill. His portrayal of Bond here is much darker and personal than other Bond films.
The Plot
Following the capture of international drug lord Franz Sanchez on the same day as the wedding of his CIA friend Felix Leiter, James Bond returns to find Sanchez has escaped and has exacted his revenge on Leiter. In a moment of wild anger, Bond resigns his status as a 00 agent, and escapes the custody of his superiors. He ...
...revenge for Leiter and to put the drug lord where he belongs.
The Cast and Performances
Timothy Dalton is refreshing as Bond - much more humane and personal than his predecessors Sean Connery, George Lazenby and Roger Moore, who relied more on charm and tongue in cheek comments to boost their charismatic nature. Dalton brings out Bond's anger and personal feelings very well, and performs admirably in the role. Robert Davi is very convincing as ...

This might disagree with some people
Advantages: Plenty of action
Disadvantages: Might be too much don't look scenes for some people
This is one of my favourite Bond films and was the first Bond film I ever bought! I think Timothy Dalton was great in it as the rogue agent, although its not everyone's favourite film becuase its more violent than any Bond film as its shows a head explode and man set on fire and also a man that get eaten by a shark. The poor thing about it is the lack of eye candy. The girls aren't exactly Bonds finest! Theres some good music to accomply this but ...
...include the pre title sequence where they chase after a drug barron on the morning of Felix Leiters wedding, under water scenes, casino scenes and the finale I think is great! With just lots of explosions and action. With this being an Ultimate edition it also has lots of bonus material A great action/Bond film! ...

Gone in 60 Seconds - Director's Cut
Advantages: Great camera work, great cast, fantastic cars
Disadvantages: None for me, enjoyed every minute
Fast, fun and exciting film. Great cast with great action scenes and camera work. Brilliant line up of cars and a most enjoyable watch. Good storyline, very good watch! Film starts with a fast, high adrenaline street race and moves on to the grand theft auto as the film progresses. I enjoyed every bit of the film, it did not get boring at any stage for me. The '67 Shelby GT500 is definately my favourite car in the film and the main chase in the film ...

A thoughtful look at the end of the world
Advantages: Concentrates more on plot then special effects
Disadvantages: A little meandering at times
...if a little silly Armageddon. Deep Impact, although a disaster movie, is different to these two films by concentrating more on the relationships between different characters then on the disaster itself. Directed by Mimi Leder, what I liked best about Deep Impact is the way it engages with its key characters so that we actually care about what happens to them, in comparison to something like The Day After Tomorrow where the characterisation is pretty ...
...disaster films such as Armageddon, Deep Impact is for me a better film because it takes a thoughtful look at the possibility of mass extinction rather then rushing straight in with special effects. Armageddon is an action film through and through, whereas Deep Impact is much deeper then that, looking at the human emotions and relationships which come together in the face of disaster. There are three main storylines which the film concerns itself ...
