The Title Says It All...

Advantages: Some funny moments, decent enough ending
Disadvantages: Too much like the original

...which they very cleverly entitled Another 48 Hours and that’s exactly what this is, it’s a carbon copy of the original. I thought that first film was mediocre, it hasn’t aged well since it was released over 20 years so it can be forgiven for that however there was simply no spark in the film which would have enabled it to stand out from the crowd. Another 48 Hours manages to correct these mishaps from the inferior first film however it’s still nothing ...
...was very simple but effective. Another 48 Hours have again tried to use the simple but effective method but failed miserably. You never really know what the bikers have to do with anything and the Ice Man doesn’t really come into play until the last 30 minutes of the film despite several references to him throughout the film. I think in a way the comedy is better in this film however it’s blatantly obvious that the jokes have simply been recycled ...

What Happens After 48 Hours?

Advantages: Eddie Murphy
Disadvantages: Limited comedy, not a great storyline

...killers to justice. 48 Hours is something that has recently been doing it’s rounds on the Sky Movies channels and I decided to watch it on the recommendation of my Dad after hearing how much he enjoyed it, we tend to have very similar tastes in films so I was expecting to thoroughly enjoy this. Being a big fan of Eddie Murphy is something that made me want to see this even more. Nick Nolte is someone that I’m not too familiar with, I vaguely remember ...
...he looked very different but other than that I haven’t seen him in anything else. After his performance in this film I’m not particularly interested in seeing him anything else again. He plays a very gruff, moody talking cop in this film. Some women seem to like the brooding and moody macho type, I’m not such a fan of it. He simply has no personality in this film at all and is nowhere near as likeable as his co-star. You don’t care about his character ...

Dolph with guns, pins, and muscle

Advantages: Good action scenes, bushman
Disadvantages: unexciting ending

...their culture and is named Red Scorpion and given the all important Scorpion tattoo, Nikolai turns his back on the Russians and meets back up with Kallunda and co and they all go to attack the russians at their base. The bushman was brilliant, even more so after finding out he was a real bushman that they found. The bushman even managed to crack a smile out of Nikolai which seemed impossible, there was some educational bits in there where we see ...
...entertaining, if you're a Dolph fan its most likely you'll enjoy it. There is some light humour in bits and some good action scenes with explosions. A downside is the ending was very dull and predictable, I feel this film could have been made more exciting towards the end, but if you enjoy lots of guns and blood its a decent ending! Chapters: 9 Ratio: 1.33:1 Sound: Dolby Digital 2.0 Extra Features: Scene selection, Trailer, film facts feature, ...

Tango & Cash Film Review

Advantages: It's Gay
Disadvantages: It's Gay

...thought so anyway... Ray Tango (Stallone's character) is portrayed as wealthy and intelligent; while Gabe Cash, his soon-to-be-partner, (Russell) is seen as the scruffy, cocky one of the two. (Did I just say 'cocky'? That's two references to the male sex organ in the last two paragraphs. Slightly weird.) Both cops are well-respected by the LAPD for bringing down some of the city's biggest criminals, yet they still compete with one another regularly ...
...so many homosexual innuendos in Tango & Cash that the shaft and balls image becomes implanted into your mind for quite some time after watching. But I am trying to keep my in-depth analysis of the gay subtext for a separate article; otherwise I may be here all night discussing scrotums and penises – something I really don’t want to do (sorry, gay friends). Back to the plot, and, of course, the "couple" manage to escape from prison, take revenge on ...

What a Box Set to own

Advantages: Four great movies all in one box set
Disadvantages: They Have not includes die hard 3 (with a vengeance)

...four great movies starring Bruce Willis. We all know Bruce Willis is a hell of an actor and what a way to show you really like his acting by buying this box set including four great movies. Die hard was one of Bruce Willis's best films and is still a great film today its a thriller with lots of twists and turns in it which will leave you hanging on to the edge of your seat, but buy this box set and included is die hard 2 the second in the trilogy ...
...also a great movie but to top it off The fifth element a superb movie and one of my favourites. Buy this box set now and I can gaurantee hours of movie fun, you wont want to leave your chair, and best of all you can watch these great movies over and over again. ...
