You Wanted Me, Here I Am

Advantages: An excellent Screenplay, brilliant performances and a very enjoyable movie
Disadvantages: Other than the sad death of Heath Ledger none

Having established himself as the protector of Gotham City, Batman sets out with the help of the District Attorney Harvey Dent and Police Lieutenant Jim Gordon to bring down the largest Criminal organisations. Their plans take a bit of a diversion though when a new mastermind takes control of Gotham's crime syndicate. The Joker demands that Batman unmask himself and sets off on a killing spree to try and ensure it happens. The real question for the ...
...been over a year since the follow up to Batman Begins was released but yesterday rather than head to the cinema we decided to finally watch it. Having heard nothing but good things about it and loving the previous film it seemed almost unbelievable that we hadn't watched it yet. Where Batman Begins had in my opinion taken the Batman films to a new level I was hoping that The Dark Knight would carry on this progression and I certainly wasn't disappointed. ...

...cast, with many established British actors. It is good to see the characters in their younger incarnations before they become vital to the Batman world. The special effects are stunning and will dazzle and amaze. This is an amazing film from Christopher Nolan that definitely does the Batman franchise justice. ...

Advantages: 3 films for the price of 1
Disadvantages: No extras

...seperately, so here goes: Broken Arrow The Story is so simple and typical of an american writer, 2 Air Force pilots are pitted against each other in a race to recover two stolen nuclear warheads.It makes you wonder what realy happens over in america, they seem to lose more nuclear weapons than i care to imagine!!! What transpires is a Fast Paced action adventure that makes you wonder what incredibel feat will the main stars (Travolta, Slater) do ...
...myself during watching!(Namely after the scene on top of the train, i added "It's been a while since anyone has shot between her legs") Worth watching as it has good entertainment value. I still thoroughly enjoyed this film, yet it was not a remarkable performance by any of the cast nor director! Director:- John Woo Cast include's:- John Travolta, Christian Slater, Delroy Lindo Run Time:- 104mins approx The Siege This was the main film that ...

Great Idea, Mediocre Movie...

Advantages: It tries really hard to be a tense techno-thriller...
Disadvantages: ... but fails, mainly through poor editing and production style.

...I'm Chain Reaction starts off with an intriguing premise and goes downhill from there, despite trying really hard to be a tense techno-thriller. In The initial idea, of a new power-source being developed from water (we're not talking traditional hydro-power here though) - which supposedly has the capacity to use the hydrogen in small glass of water to power the whole city of Chicago for weeks -is brilliant. The idea of the rich and powerful oil companies ...
...it's not bad. Chain There's a brain behind this film (somewhat a rarity for this genre), but unfortunately it's been rather lost in the translation. It's almost as though someone said, "Hey, here's a brilliant idea for a film, let's turn it into a mediocre movie" - and lo! - it became so. It's certainly not a terrible film - watching it didn't leave me feeling that part of my life had been stolen - just that I hadn't made a profit on what time I'd ...
