The Matrix

Advantages: it will change your life
Disadvantages: aren't any.

...red pill and Neo enters the wonderland. The effects are great. I like this movie very much. And most of my friends also like it. it is about christianism, saving people, fighting the evil forces. humanity is in slavery and only The One can help them. The movie ends with Neo flying and somekind of rock music. The war with the machines, an actual idea. The best character is Morpheus, i think, because he is so faithfull, and trully belives in Neo. and ...

Review of Master And Commander: The Far Side Of The World (DVD)

The Matrix Reloaded: Dissapointing

Advantages: Good music, Some interesting new characters
Disadvantages: Plot too complex, Emotional detachment from characters, Too much vague philosophy

As a big fan of the original I was greatly looking forward to this, however it didn't live up to the hype. My main issue was the story, I could practically hear the plot straining to be deep and profound but this falls flat on its face. The plot, which is entangled in vague philosophy ("Not how, but why"), is unnecessarily confusing and I eventually found myself wondering, does this plot make sense or is it simply that I just don't care? I actually ...
...add some new interesting characters, the twins spring to mind - however there is very little focus on them in anything other than action sequences. The enigmatic Merovingian I also found very intriguing and they did rightfully focus on him. As a quick sidenote, I didn't give a flying fig about the relationship between Trinity and Neo. I put this down largely to the fact the script didn't flesh out the characters enough as well as their rather cold ...

Review of The Matrix Reloaded (DVD)

Man On Fire is a must see

Advantages: Great acting, good story and revenge served cold!
Disadvantages: End scene

Man On Fire is one of the best films I have seen in the past 18 months and has successfully made its way onto my "Top 10 Films of all time". Although it probably didn't gross as much as it deserved through the cinema (in my opinion down to poor marketing) it is a must see DVD experience. I was apprehensive that Denzel Washington would be playing the stereo-typical down trodden black man but his performance is more than that. He keeps you guessing ...
...the manner he does; although never clearly explained it allows you to make your own assumptions. I really enjoyed the way the film was shot (no pun intended) as it gave you a real feel for what certain areas of Mexico City must be like, the music throughout the film is also fantastic; fans of the Gladiator soundtrack will not be dissappointed although it is probably not on that level. There is plenty of action throughout the film that seems to ...

Review of Man On Fire (DVD)

Your Mission, Should You Accept It - Is To Read This Review!

Advantages: Fast pacy spy adventure, with great music and some equally great stunts.
Disadvantages: Stunts a bit far fetched - but you expect that with this sort of film.

Mission Impossible (1996) We just felt in the mood for an older movie, but an excellent film all the same to watch as a family, as pickings are a bit slim at the moment. My children picked it for us to watch as a family. What's it all about? Of course the film is based upon the same set up used in the television series of the same name. Having said this, I have not watched any of the original series as this was before my time. The film ...
...given the task of going to Prague to stop a top secret list of agents, passing into the hands of traitors. The group are told to walk away if the mission fails and that their bosses will not admit to knowing them if they are captured. The mission does go awry and it seems that all of the agents are killed, all except for Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise). Ethan makes arrangements to meet his superiors in a restaurant and it is here that Ethan realises that ...
