The Dark Knight - A Super-hero movie without a hero

Advantages: Heath Ledger, great special effects, some excellent scenes
Disadvantages: Batman

...enough to see yourself become the villain" The release of "The Dark Knight" was greeted with something approximating mass-hysteria by the film-watching public due to the tragic circumstances surrounding the movie. For those who happened to be on another planet at the time, Heath Ledger, who plays arch-villain "The Joker", tragically died of an apparent overdose of prescribed drugs just before release. Ledger automatically gained Kurt Cobain/James ...
...the greatest actor ever to draw breath. Co-stars and fans alike queued up to pay homage. His performance as The Joker was no longer merely acting, it was a "legacy", instantaneously elevating it into the echelons of "best villain ever status". Immediately all the press releases and film trailers focussed on The Joker rather than the supposed star, Batman. Maybe this would have been the case anyway, but the cynical mind may wonder. In short, the Ledger ...

...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. ...

Review of The Dark Knight (Blu-ray)

Rain Rain Rain

Advantages: Action Packed thoughout
Disadvantages: No comments

I thought Hard rain was very good film. This movie is about a truck been robbed during a flood. The drivers are played by Christian Slater and Edward Asner. Morgan Freeman wants the money. The plot is basically-there is a bad storm and the town is evacuated. Christian Slater (tom)is in charge of rescuing £3,000,000 dollars, but a group of theives plan to get it off of him. Both Slater and Freeman play cat and mouse though out the movie. This movie ...
...as the hero. The action is excellent with explosions jet ski chases and of course shootouts. The plot is very original with some superb twists in the tale to keep you entertained. There are Good performances from Christian Slater and Minnie Driver. This movie is great if you like action movies, lots of special effects. Overall, it a great action with a fast plot and loads of fun! . Oh and there's also the fact that it's raining throughout the whole ...

Review of Hard Rain (DVD)

Release the hound!!!

Advantages: An excellent idea and extremely well pulled off
Disadvantages: None

Another cracking Jet Li performance. I'm sorry but a lot of my friends do not like Jet Li and I personally think that he is fantastic especially when his predecessor was Bruce Lee. Hard footsteps to follow. Jet teamed up with Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins in this intense action thriller. I must start by saying that I have never ever seen any of this directors movies but now that I have seen this one I will definitely be looking out for some more ...
...of an excellent action flick witch was shot in a very stylish way. Well done that man. Bob Hoskins plays character that the would not normally play giving his short and fat frame. He plays a gangster in Glasgow. I know it seems a bit surreal but this man pulls it off to a T. He is like a jack Russel, Small but can bark very loud. He used to see a chinese prostitute and unfortunately for her she passes away by one means or another if you know what ...
