Review of Charlie's Angels (DVD)

Full Throttle, it certainly is!

Advantages: Funny, entertaining
Disadvantages: Lots of sexual innuedno

Charlie’s Angels Full Throttle is the second in the Charlie’s Angels films. For anyone who doesn’t know, Charlie’s Angels are 3 women, Natalie, Dylan and Alex (played by Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu) who work undercover for the elusive Charlie. The films are based on the TV series from the 70’s (I think), and neither the films nor the series reveal Charlie’s face, all communication is done via a telephone speaker. The Plot This film ...

Shortly after he is rescued, a second man is attacked and his ring is also stolen (I can’t remember the name, but he was played by Bruce Willis).

Review of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (DVD)

Doomsday? Only for the audience!

Advantages: Dazzling special effects, quirky characters,
Disadvantages: story lacks depth, focus too much on the effects

2012 is not a bad movie; indeed it tries hard to be a good movie but unfortunately fails. In my opinion, 2012 had the potential to be the next Day after Tomorrow or Armageddon but unfortunately is lacking. The effects whilst impressive are 'unbelievable' and seem to focus more on the action than the believability of the situation. The story itself delivers pretty much what it promised with a doomsday scenario that isn't entirely out of the realm ...
...this movie bearable- sure the 'broken home' idea is a bit cliche but it seems to work with a few memorable charcters to boot. Overall the movie isn't trying to win any oscars because it won't; however it does deliver a couple of hours of outrageous peril and adventure that will entertain most of the family. ...

Review of 2012

Truth often hurts, but its the lie that leaves the scar

Advantages: Solid IRA flick
Disadvantages: Truth?

There was a black Zimbabwean cricketer called Henry Alonga who, with the support of some of his team mates, wore a black armband in an international game against England in Harare to protest against Robert Mugabas tyranny, a brave gesture indeed, or so it seemed at the time. Not surprisingly he decided not to return to Zimbabwe after touring England and extended his work visa, claiming Mugabe's henchmen were stalking him in London and up for giving ...
...be lying low. The problem is he was still driving around in his sponsored car with his name emblazoned across it doing media interviews to highlight his plight, even Mugabes thugs able to work that one out - and here lies my problem with this movie of the supposedly 'true story' of IRA informer Martin McGartland, also not all that it seems as far as motives and heroism goes. I read McGartlands book the film is cut from a few years back and although ...
