Richard tries to stop him but fails, he notices that the man only has one arm though, subsequent to this he tries to revive his wife but again to no avail.

After helping one of the injured police officers Richard is left with a choice; wait for the police to pick him up or go on the run and discover the truth about his wife’s death… Although being released way back in 1993 I have only watched The Fugitive recently for the very first time and after it was shown on TV again a couple of days ago I jumped at the chance to relive the ...

Review of The Fugitive (DVD)

Naturally Great

Advantages: A great story and the acting is brilliant.
Disadvantages: Some stange camera angles are adopted which might annoy others.

This film was released in 1994 and instantly become one of the most controversial films on the screen at the time. The movie displays some very violent and sexual scenes. The film was orginally written by Quentin Tarantino (it was the second movie that he wrote) but he couldn't get the script on to the big screen. Some time later after Tarantino had made it with Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, a director called Oliver Stone took the script, had ...
...has a very different style of directing to Tarantino, but he does the script justice (even if Tarantino was not a fan). The film stars Woody Harrelson, as Mickey Knox, and Juliette Lewis, as Mallory Knox. The two lovers are traumatised by their childhood pasta and embark on a psychotic killing spree. The media turns them into legends and soo everyone knows who they are and they build up quite a fan base. The pair get caught and are brought to justice, ...

Review of Natural Born Killers (DVD)

Space Junk

Advantages: Good cast
Disadvantages: Poor plot

...film. Thats right. Its a space film. Made for the big screen but looking more at home on a "made for TV" film channel like Bravo or such like. What is it about? Well, I looked forward to this film as I love space and particularly manned space flight. Due to my interest, im normally the first to spot inconsistencies in the realism of these type of films. However, I was impressed with the start of the film where 2 of our stars are taking part in ...
...of the Russian and American space agencies is in danger after a Russian "weather satellite" armed to the back teeth with Nuclear warheads is about to crash out of orbit. The guidance system on the satellite is broken and needs fixing and it appears it is a stolen design in the 1970's from the Americans! Who Designed it? Clint.... Who needs to go and fix it? Clint.......Who is he taking with him? His old buddies who never got to go up! Special effects. ...

Review of Space Cowboys (DVD)

Riddle me this, riddle me that, Who's afraid of the big black bat

Advantages: Star studded cast, The Riddler is excellent and Carrey is perfectly cast, Tim Burton had an input
Disadvantages: Val Kilmer and Chris O'Donell miscast, why is there a love interest?

...the brilliant Tim Burton co-producing, Batman Forever was released back in 1995. This is a review of the film only. Plot Bruce Wayne (Val Kilmer) is growing tired of his daily existence. Not being content with being rich, powerful and influential during the day and being a crime fighter at night Bruce is at his wits end. His empty feeling is not helped as he is haunted by memories of his parent’s death. In this saga Batman has secured the ...
...mental health issues who blames Batman for an accident that left him with permanent disfiguration to one side of his face. Dr Edward Nygma “The Riddler” (Jim Carrey) is a former employee of Wayne Enterprises that was given the boot after developing a dangerous invention and after identifying the man behind the Caped Crusader he seeks his revenge. In true comic book style these two individuals come together and team up to try and defeat Batman. As ...

Review of Batman Forever (DVD)

Tommy Lee Jones, not an action hero. Ok?

Advantages: Action
Disadvantages: Too muhc like rambo & the fugitive

...this higher but I got the feeling that the start of this film was cut to ribbons or the script got a radical quick rewrite. This starts out as a former special forces man who's haunted by his nightmares played by Benicio Del Toro (BDT. We're never told which special forces either). Tommy Lee Jones (TLJ) plays LT who has trained this man, I don't understand why he wasn't in uniform as a military trainer. We are also never told if LT is his rank (Lieutenant ...
...easily used to push against the back of his own knee, freeing himself. Not much of a Special Forces Trainer if he didn't spot that one. Our man on the run has won medals for bravery & valour, we see him getting a Silver Star (American Military, Why is a Silver Star Bronze?). We later find out he's an unperson, He doesn't exist as he does Black Bag Ops for the Government. He's an assassin and they aren't happy that he's gone rogue either. When BDT ...
