THE WILD GEESE. ( 1978 )

Advantages: CLASSIC. FULL CAST. 10/10
Disadvantages: WILD GEESE 2 WAS A MISTAKE

The Cast Richard Burton > Col Allen Faulkner Rodger Moore > Lt Shawn Fynn Richard Harris > Capt Rafer Janders Hardy Kruger > Lt Pieter coetze Stewart Granger > Sir Edward Matherson This is one hell of a great film and now its on DVD format its a "must have" in my opinon. First you have the cast, Richard Burton. Richard Harris. Rodger Moore to name a few. Second you've got load's of non stop action from start to finish. Third you have got the ...
...Afican dictator in central Africa. The Wild Geese has many twists and turns along the way which include being double crossed by Sir Edward Matherson that leaves the whole group of soliders in deep jeopardy, having to find a new way out of Africa. Rodger moore is on top form being back in his hay day (James Bond 007) so is both Richard Harris and Richard Burton who was cast to make Wild Geese II but sadly died during the start of filming in 1985. ...

'You're not dead until I TELL you you're dead!'

Advantages: Curiously enjoyable
Disadvantages: Some dodgy acting and editing, too long

...mood dropping after looking through the films on offer, I was perked by the first one I watched: Hitchcock's Speelbound, dealing with the human psyche. This was the second. I had heard of The Wild Geese before, but had never really bothered to find out much about it. As it was a free DVD from the paper, there are no extras on it at all. In fact, all you get is the film, and putting the disc in the DVD player, the film started immediately without ...
...sequence of Joan Armatrading singing the title theme tune as the outline of Africa appears on an otherwise black screen. For some reason, it set me in the mood and I was looking forward to watching the film. We get our first glimpse of Richard Burton early on, as we see him approached at a train station covertly by a British government operative. The scene is set in London, and it is made very clear from the start that Burton's character, Colonel ...

The Bigger the hit, the faster the rush, the Sweeter the revenge!

Advantages: Great action packed film, Great actors, Good storyline
Disadvantages: You may not be able to get into the story-line!

...WHSmith. ***CRANK 2*** Crank 2: High Voltage was released this year and contains Jason Statham again. Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...
...I wouldn’t hesitate to watch Crank 2. My dad did how-ever borrow the DVD and after 30mins he switched it off as he couldn’t quite get into the film. If you like Jason as an actor and if you like his other films I think you with thoroughly enjoy this film. I would recommend it to anyone who like’s action packed films. (review als on dooyoo) ...

2012 true or wrong

Advantages: I believe in god so I do not believe the end of 2012.
Disadvantages: 2012 film is entertainment. so make it fun for our minds

...if you buy the hype, 2012 is going to be the year of that will see the end of humanity, much like the earlier 2000s saw the downfall of TRL. The year of shock. Horror. Awe. Awe-some! I am currently much anticipating the apocalypse, especially if it involves John Cusack and will finally foresee that sinful state, California, falling into the Pacific Ocean, where it belongs, obviously. I am anticipating it as much as I did Y2K, with my gallons of water ...
...the claims of December 21, 2012 (in addition to it being my future wedding date), being the end of this current "cycle" we're upon. The Mayans were a very intelligent civilization for their time--they were able to calculate the time of day, and their mathematical accomplishments floored any Europeans' of the time. But there's a lot of controversy as to what December 21, 2012, signifies to them. Of course it's the end of their calendar cycle, but ...

The fast was fast and the furious were furious

Advantages: Effects, Performance
Disadvantages: Ending

Overall the movie turned out not to be as boring as I thought it would be. When I heard about it I thought "great another movie about fast racing cars". After wathching it, my opinion changed. The actors/actresses performances were very well done. The effects made you hold your breath untill the sence was over and want to know what happens next. Being that I watched it after the fourth one was already out It was perfect Knowing ther was more to come. ...
...see this back round info.The reason it was good instead of excellent was because of the ending, which was really cool but could have been better. Unfortunetley, withut spoiling the movie there is only so much I can tell you. Thankyou for reading and I hope It was Excellent. ...
