Action & Adventure > Keitel, Harvey Action & Adventure

Good film if it was correct!

Advantages: Good story
Disadvantages: Not factually correct

The story starts in the spring of 1942 where a German submarine is partially destroyed by a British destroyer. However the submarine sends an S.O.S to Germany for help. We then see a wedding reception and men in U.S naval uniform are celebrating. Their celebrations are interupted by an announcement that they must go to their ship. The crew are told that they have a new mission. They are to capture the submarine and retrieve an Enigma Machine ( a ...
...in their submarine and intercept the Germans. Headed by Lt. Andrew Tyler (played by Matthew McConaughey), Lt. Cmdr. Mike Dahlgren (played by Bill Paxton) and CPO Henry Klough (played by Harvey Kietel) the crew pretend to be Germans rescuing the sub. However, things go drastically wrong and the men are in mortal danger when the German men realise the ruse and sink the US sub leaving only a few US crew on the badly damaged German sub. In dangerous ...

Review of Reservoir Dogs (DVD)

Here we go again!!!

Advantages: Great adventure
Disadvantages: Unbelievability factor, but this is kind of the point

The 2004 film National Treasure took about $350 million at the box office worldwide. This prompted producer Jerry Bruckheimer to give the go ahead for a sequel to be made, and last year saw the release of National Treasure 2: The Book of Secrets. The film took just over a month to outgross the 2004 film, and is every bit as entertaining an action film as the first, if a little far fetched. The Plot Not long after the end of the Civil War in America, ...
...cracks, then look no further. National Treasure 2: The Book of Secrets is a rollercoaster action adventure film with fast paced location changing scenery. The camera work and special effects are brilliantly done, and the actors are all incorporated into this as well. In terms of settings, director Jon Turteltaub has gone to town, filming in Buckingham Palace, the Library of Congress, Mount Rushmore and the centre of Paris. Throw in some car chases ...

Review of National Treasure 2 - Book Of Secrets (DVD)

'So do you think you found your calling?'

Advantages: Funny remarks made by the duo, emmotive, great soundtrack.
Disadvantages: Not enough humour really.

...loved this movie. When Thelma and Louise pack up and leave town for what started out as a planned fishing trip, they ditch their boyfriends that they're both sick of and head off on the road. Little do they know that round the corner after a good time at the Silver Bullet tragedy strikes and their lives are changed forever... I found the plot of this movie outstanding, as even though their friendship was tested in all manner of ways, they still ...
...the audience dumbstruck and in tears - or it did to me anyway! The injections of humour in this movie interspersed with the phenominal soundtrack really give the film an edge which is incompariable with any other film on the shelves. I would high recommend this film to anyone as it is very inspiring and sends out a firm message. ...

Life Post Bond

Advantages: Lots of Sean Connery
Disadvantages: Lots of not very good Sean Connery

...except that that all feature Sean Connery in the lead role. Starting with his first post Bond role in Zardoz and finishing with his final big screen performance (to date) in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, this set includes mediocre performances in some ordinary movies and serves no real purpose other than filling the gaps in your collection. Looking at the movies in chronological order we get: Zardoz (1974) John Boorman was given a free hand ...
...five post-Bond flicks to show Sean at his best I might have chosen differently. Aside from the obvious choice of The Untouchables, your collections may be better served by these lost Connery movies all made since he handed back his license to kill for the first time in 1971. • The Man Who Would Be King (1975) • Outland (1981) • The Name Of The Rose (1986) • The Presidio (1988) • Finding Forrester (2000) ...
