You Wanted Me, Here I Am

Advantages: An excellent Screenplay, brilliant performances and a very enjoyable movie
Disadvantages: Other than the sad death of Heath Ledger none

Having established himself as the protector of Gotham City, Batman sets out with the help of the District Attorney Harvey Dent and Police Lieutenant Jim Gordon to bring down the largest Criminal organisations. Their plans take a bit of a diversion though when a new mastermind takes control of Gotham's crime syndicate. The Joker demands that Batman unmask himself and sets off on a killing spree to try and ensure it happens. The real question for the ...
...been over a year since the follow up to Batman Begins was released but yesterday rather than head to the cinema we decided to finally watch it. Having heard nothing but good things about it and loving the previous film it seemed almost unbelievable that we hadn't watched it yet. Where Batman Begins had in my opinion taken the Batman films to a new level I was hoping that The Dark Knight would carry on this progression and I certainly wasn't disappointed. ...

Not so heavy on the tail

Advantages: Good cast
Disadvantages: Bad story

...hero's jousting exploits, slows to a standstill as romantic complications sort them out into precisely the pattern you're always aware they will. There's a little playfulness left in this, but a father-and-son element also enters the picture late in the game, and Helgeland wants us to take this with deep sincerity. It's not easy to do in a movie in which medieval audiences chant "We Will Rock You" and farriers (metalworkers) include a Nike swish ...

...him. in this batman film the joker is a bit more of a terrorist than a criminal, with blackmail and hostages. batman has a sort of Q from james bond and a new good guy Harvey who is a sort of polatictian who has a dark ending. Cast Dark Knights cast is absolutly outstanding, they may not be brad pitt, tom cruise and keria knightly (they're really famous) but it has actors that act just as well if not better. a special congrates to Heath Ledger ...

Not all that Grimm

Advantages: The visuals
Disadvantages: The acting isn't great

...in a film finally!) playing the brothers Grimm in a film that uses ideas from their many stories and fairy tales to bind a common theme. The 2 brothers are con-men and use folk tales to hoodwink stupid villagers out of their money for almost no work on their part. This is at least until they are nearly caught then have to face a real fairy tale! They are assisted by Mackenzie Crook (mostly known for The Office in the UK) and the other chap whose ...
...brilliant. Steal Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, The ginger bread man, Snow White, Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin, and then mix them all together. Watch it. Love it then watch it some more. This is a film adults and kids will enjoy many times. (this review also appears on dooyoo) ...

Freedom. Country. Honor...and stiff upper lips

Advantages: /
Disadvantages: /

The Four Feathers should be a well known story to many people as this version is, I think, the sixth reincarnation of the classic tale. Its an old style boys own adventure romp all about doing the right thing for Queen and country, winning the day and getting the girl. There are many films that fall into the same genre, and this film can be seen as a mix of three equal ingredients. The Bengal Lancers and all of those films of dashing military heroics ...
...third Lawrence of Arabia for the honour, duty and friendship element. Top this of with a light dressing of Doctor Zivago for the lost love and you have Shekhar Kapur's remake. So with so many previous versions of this tale already trapped in celluloid was there a need to retell this story? One of the problems with telling tales of Empire in these more enlightened times is that its very easy to slip into the flag waving xenophobia of past productions ...
