The Bourne Begins

Advantages: Good action sequences
Disadvantages: Can get dull in parts

The Bourne Identity of the first in what has become known as 'The Bourne Trilogy' and was released in 2002. Jason Bourne, we learn, is a trained assassin who is suffering from amnesia after failing to assassinate a target. As the film begins he has no idea who he is or what his occupation is and the majority of the film sees him either trying to track down information that will help him discover his identity or avoiding capture or death at the hands ...
...new found friend Marie. The film has some excellent action scenes and Matt Damon plays Jason Bourne pretty convincingly. You can really imagine him as a trained killer. Previous to this film, I'd only ever really liked Matt Damon as a comedy actor (Dogma, The Ocean's series) but this film really put him in a different light. I dare say he is now a fully fledged action star. ...

Review of The Bourne Identity (DVD)

The most overblown and silly action movie ever!

Advantages: Everything you could want in a dumb action movie
Disadvantages: Everything you hate about dumb action movies

...from this kind of movie. There are (ultra violent) fights, car chases, mass chaos, panic, gunplay and raw machismo. Overall, Commando is a just a great genre piece, if you are in the mood for a "action movie from the 80's starring Arnold Schwarzenegger" then look no further than Commando. ...

Awful snake film

Advantages: Jennifer Lopez's sexy body
Disadvantages: Poor script and wooden acting

Anaconda is one of those films that failed on its release due to a number of failings. It is probably more famous for being a flop than any other reason. This film is a horror film directed by Luis Llosa, which is about a National Geographic documentary crew who are in search of lost Amazon tribe to film. When they rescue a hunter, Paul Sarone, he persuades the crew that he can help them in their quest, but it turns out that the hunter has his own ...
...anaconda snake. Sarone manages to take control of the crew’s boat and drags them on his insane and deadly quest. However they soon discover that the anaconda is not a creature to be messed with. The cast for this horror film features the following actors Jennifer Lopez - Terri Flores Jon Voight - Paul Sarone Ice Cube - Danny Rich Eric Stoltz - Dr. Steven Cale Owen Wilson - Gary Dixon Jonathan Hyde - Warren Westridge Kari Wuhrer - Denise Kalberg ...

Review of Anaconda (DVD)

Excellent Movie for all the Car Racing Fans

Advantages: Cars, Drifts, Sarcastic Jokes
Disadvantages: Bit of Sloopy Fliming of the Last race

...This is a Must Buy, The best part about the whole movie is the Concept of "DRIFT" . The movie starts out well with a all time crazy street racing. Where the main character(Shawn) Crashes his car and gets arrested for Illegal racing and causing massive destruction. Thats when he leaves town to Tokyo and the whole new exciting chapter Tokyo drift starts. He joins School and thats where we get to see drifting for the first time, And I rate the first ...
...Pretty much becomes DK(Drift King). The Chase to kill Haan is the sexiest part of the movie. But I was really disappointed with the Last race, It was OK but not as gr8 as the Chase. You can see that at One point of time, DK's Head lights come off, and in the next turn it is fixed back... Few of the things is the Last race can be easily detected that they took many shots and like all times that Hero gets a happy ending and wins the race. ...

Review of The Fast And The Furious - Tokyo Drift (DVD)

You'll believe they'll remake it in 20 years

Advantages: Gene Hackman, brilliant
Disadvantages: Really shows its age

The start of this and Superman 2 don't tally, Jor-el has nothing to do with Zod's sentence. He is obviously their advocate in court, the Elders pass judgment. Jor-el says nothing, neither condemning Zod or supporting him. There are at least 6 Elders who all say guilty. Even if Jor-el voted, Zod, Ursa & Non would be guilty by majority. Anyway the 3 criminals should be grateful to Kal-el, he saved them from the destruction of Krypton. Launching Kal-el ...
...foot above the ground. Superman has no jurisdiction to arrest the burglar apart from a citizens arrest, the policeman has no proof the burglar stole the jewels Superman shows him. The boat would just fall over in the street, it wouldn't stand freely like that. Those idiots flying Airforce One make several mistakes. They wouldn't crash with the loss of one engine and tiny bit of wing. They wouldn't have to notify civilian ground control ANYTHING! ...
