Advantages: Decent Action Sequences. Entertaining.
Disadvantages: Badly Dubbed. Sub par Acting.

Jet Li stars in this Kung Fu Film as highly trained bodyguard John Chang sent to protect the girlfriend (Christy Chung) of a wealthy businessman after she becomes the sole remaining witness to murder. But that you can find out just by reading the back of the case. First things first... the dubbing. To be honest it is just what you should expect from an early 1990's Chinese film. I.e. So bad it borders on hilarity. As with many martial arts films ...
...besides scream in terror as Jet Li saves the day. This brings us onto the main part of any martial arts film. The action. While there isn't as much as you would perhaps wish the film more than makes up for it with the scale of it all. Over the course of 3 or 4 sequences Jet Li racks up an impressive body count whether it's out at the shopping mall or in the final showdown at the end. The final sequence by the way, is great. Intense fighting in a ... Read review

Advantages: Solid Bond film
Disadvantages: Not as good as Dr No

...the second James Bond film from EON productions. The first, Dr No, launched Sean Connery onto the international screen, and brought us the charismatic British agent James Bond. The Plot Crime organisation S.P.E.C.T.R.E. has created a device that will decode Russian secrets and upset the world order. Secret agent James Bond 007 is sent to Istanbul to retrieve the device. He has to overcome S.P.E.C.T.R.E.'s agents first of all, though, including ...
...rated Dr No higher than From Russia With Love. The direction and plot are okay, but I think Young did a better job in Dr No. The scenery is once again breathtaking, and the special effects, while limited and dated, are impressive. Perhaps it was the tale itself that I was not as enamoured with, but I was not hugely impressed by this Bond film. Conclusion A good film, but not great. The DVD is available from amazon.co.uk for £5.98. This review ... Read review

Advantages: A solid late 1960's movie. That totally incredible car chase sequence
Disadvantages: Very poor storyline. Now a little dated.

...12-minute long car chase when Bullitt pursues two of the aforementioned mobsters around the streets of San Francisco in his highly tuned Ford Mustang. The bad guys are driving a Dodge Charger, by the way, and so with two legendary American "muscle" cars pitting themselves against each other neither are short of horsepower! Watching a repeat of the movie recently on Sky Movies, I was taken just how dated this car chase has now become with the passage ...
...the car chase scene in Bullitt is truly remarkable. What's also interesting is that this car chase could never be filmed today. Warner brothers got permission from the Mayor of San Francisco to use the actual city streets, something that wouldn't even be contemplated in today's safety conscious society. And no insurance company would ever be prepared to carry the horrendous financial risk of insuring the actors, the cars, and the public during the ... Read review
