Advantages: Cheesy, Good Story Lots of Twists.
Disadvantages: Cheesy.

A Great Film, Arnie's acting as Quade/Hauser is flawless perfect for the part of someone on the run. This film has everything car chases, women fighting, lots of mindless destruction, explosions, and best of all just the right amount of cheesiness. Played on surround there's a part where a telepath is reading Quade's mind repeatedly saying Open your mind.... sends shivers down the spine. Starts out as an average looking film straight into action ...
...move on some unfortunate baddie. Once the plot begins to unfold there are so many twists it leaves your mind spinning, but still I found the story easy to follow. Its a definate cheesy moment film for those slow days when your in the mood for a film with light content and a bit of a laugh. ... Read review

Advantages: Total Recall
Disadvantages: Red Sonja

...a high budget sci-fi where Arnie is Doug Quaid- a lowly construction worker whoi dreams of going to mars. His wife wont let him so he goes for the new fangled memory implant on offer for a company called RECALL. Big mistake- Arnie is an undercover operative who has had his identity changed by 'the agency' and is briefed to infiltrate rebel forces on Mars. Doug Quaid, has different ideas: In a nutshell "I dont wanna spoil it for you Doug, but rest ...
...to skip. Raw Deal Arnie is an undercover cop infiltrating a mafia gang. Wonderfully cheesey and simple with lots of killing and oneliners. Not a bad little film early on in Arnie's career. No special features to speak of on the dvd. Red Sonja This is not an Arnie movie, its a Bridgette Nielson movie in which Arnie plays a part. Its a swords and sorcery movie which is barely watchable and includes a whole host of extremely annoying characters who ... Read review

Advantages: Great characters
Disadvantages: -

...seeing the first series of Ultimate Force I eagerly awaited the release of Series 2 and I have to say that it didn't fail to deliver. Like the first series, this series is again based around 'red troop' a troop of SAS soldiers. In terms of characters very few changes have been made Alex Leonard who left at the end of the first series is replaced by the cocky and loud-mouthed Louis Hoffman (who is first seen in Series 1 Episode 3) and BOX, whose ...
...Akhurst), who provides a love interest for Red Troop's charismatic Staff Sergeant Henno Garvie (Ross Kemp). This series is more explosive than the last on many levels with more bullets flying and more people falling especially in the opening episode where Red Troop find themselves in a blue on blue situation on a ship docked in Southampton and have to come to terms with the fact that it isn't only those on the other side that are falling. Other ... Read review

Advantages: Ridiculously exciting, OTT extravaganza
Disadvantages: Morally disgusting

...his earlier Rocky Balboa. However, Rambo IV is still a ridiculously exciting, if politically disgusting, high-octane, uber-violent romp. Easily the equal of many of the fiercest horror films of recent times in terms of sheer gore and depravity - necks are ripped open, children are flung left and right, heads explode, innards spill to the dirt - the picture is considerably harsher than its predecessors. It is, though, just as moronic as the previous ...
...Religious, Cultural and Military Might. Rambo IV does nothing to reverse this trend, with Stallone being very open about the film's Christian values (a shame-faced attempt to ape Mel Gibson's success with similar audiences) and the piece as a whole stands as a justification for any amount of imperialist rampaging. That said - nauseating and barbaric it may be, but, much like the final third of Mark L. Lester's 1985 Commando, it's impossible not to ... Read review

Advantages: Great action movie with great actors
Disadvantages: Movie is not long enough

In my opinion by far the best movie of 2005. Not only starring two great HollyWood stars, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, but also directed by the great film director Doug Liman. This film is great action mixed with a little bit of humour, and both Brad and Angelina play their roles beautifully. This film begins with a unhappyly married couple, both of whom are high-class assassins, and both of whom are oblivious to each others true occupations. ...
...occasions, and when she fiinds out who her husband really is, she is even more determined to kill him, and they go on a rampage around the streets shooting at each other. But something is holding them back. Could it be the secret love they have for each other?? This film will keep you in suspense, right till the very end, where the outcome may surprise a few of you. ... Read review
