jason is back
Advantages: great plot
Disadvantages: fair fetched car moves
This is a great film that I caught on telly on Saturday night and I cannot believe that I have not seen it before, I think I caught it at the right time as the third is to be released soon and if it is as good as the second I am in for a real treat.
Jason Statham plays Frank Martin, a chauffer who takes being precise to the extreme, but as you find if you get in his way there will be serious consequences. As a former Special Forces agent he now ...

The big green man is here!
Advantages: Fast paced and lots of action
Disadvantages: None
...film! This time it was the Incredible Hulk as even though this is not one of the newer releases I wanted to see it on the big screen before it stops showing!
The film I was hoping would be action packed and I wasn't disappointed by it. The CGI was well done as is the acting - even my wife enjoyed it and she wasn't really that keen on seeing it in the first place!
The Plot - The story follows Bruce Banner as we start off at the beginning seeing ...

Incredible Hulk - Don't Make Me Angry!!!!!!
Advantages: Good special effects. Easy to get into. Great ending.
Disadvantages: Lacked humour.
...for something to watch over the week-end, we finally decided upon the Incredible Hulk, which is currently showing on Sky Anytime. Initially, me daughter wasn’t interested as she saw it as a ‘boy’ film, but when I explained about watching the television series whilst growing up, she decided to give it a go. What’s it all about? Well, this is a big budget superhero type film, reminiscent of the 1970’s tv series starring Bill Bixby. It tells the ...
...power. Whilst he thought the experiment was to further research that would help soldiers, the experiments were in fact designed to increase military power. After destroying the lab and hurting Betty Ross (Liv Tyler) his girlfriend, he goes on the run, hiding from the military, whilst trying to find a cure for his condition. He talks online to an unknown person, who is trying to help him. William Hurt plays Betty’s father - General Thaddeus Ross, ...

Entertaining if you don't think too much!
Advantages: Watching Jason kick some a*ses!
Disadvantages: Some of the stunts are a little far fetched?
...and Lock Stock, I thought the Transporter (I and II) would be equally good. Unfortunately, it is far, far from being as good BUT.... if you are a fan of films like XXX and action packed movies with crazy stunts and mad fight scenes, then you should enjoy it. Jason (Frank Martin in the film) did most of the stunts himself, which is quite an achievement in itself.
In my opinion, the first film was way better than the second one, in that the story ...
...a lot less dodgy. The car chases are most enjoyable in both but in the second one, one of the stunts in nothing short of 'appalling'. Frank Martin ends up with a bomb stuck under his car so he simply gets rid of the unwanted bomb by taking off sideways and grazing a pillar which knocks it off. Another pretty dodgy stunt was when he drives off the roof of a building and lands on the building opposite (but not on the roof!) a few levels down as the ...

Have A Good Life. Whats Left Of It
Advantages: Good fast paced action movie, decent martial arts scenes
Disadvantages: Could have done with another big name
...did really like the first Transporter movie and so it was really inevitable that I’d be seeing this regardless of my prior concerns about it.
Statham resumes his role from the first movie as a Transporter, a man paid to deliver things from one place to another. Only this time he has moved to Miami and the films starts with him doing a favour for a friend and acting as a chauffer. When the little boy he is driving around becomes the target of a kidnapping ...
...This second instalment of the Transporter series sees Statham team up for the second time with Louis Leterrier. His direction seems to have come on a little from the first movie but with that in mind it still looks pretty good. The fight sequences are very well choreographed and look really well put together. The car and boat chases also look amazing with Leterrier really using some great angles and effects to create a film that looks really good.
