Explosions, Explosions and more Explosions!!!
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")

Crank It Up
Advantages: Quality action scenes, Jason Statham THE MAN FOR THE PART!! Disadvantages: If there is such a thing as too much action...
...movie than a blunt instrument, Crank is an explosion of sex, violence and drugs, which have their effects used in the short term, but showing in every scene becomes a tad tedious. From the look of it, first time directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor looked to make a compact film with a running time of 83 minutes.

...her friends from school over the half term holidays and whinged until we all sat and watched it.
When I saw the title and read the ‘blurb’ I suddenly remembered that I had read something very similar, only it was entitled ’The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe’, the only mention of Narnia was in the movie itself and not the title, from what I could recollect.
Anyway, I remembered that I found C.S. Lewis’s ‘Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe’ a very ... ...I happily sat down with the family and watched this posher titled movie, hoping that I, and especially the kids, would not be disappointed.
