Action & Adventure > Norton, Edward Action & Adventure

An Abosolute Classic

Advantages: Great story
Disadvantages: There are none

...a leader of the infamous Fight Club and edward norton as the "unamed" main charecter also acts his part perfectly. This film is a simple story of an average man who has little to live for, changes his life drasticly by giving it all up and starting fight club but does he know what he is doing and is it under his control well maybe it is you will have to see for youself Cast: The cast in Fight Club are some of the greatest actors of all time like ...
...unique and original ideas but also some very violent one many critics thought this woudl incite copycat behaviour and people would try some of the things in the film. Fight Club was considered one of the most controversial and talked-about films of the 1990s, It is a must see ...

Bigger minis, smaller willies

Advantages: Good heist, nice little minis
Disadvantages: Characters a bit on the girly side for crims

...not a huge fan of the constantly unshaved Jason Statham, his parts in Guy Ritchie's films (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrells and Snatch) were definitely the peak of his career, his part in The Bank Job was reasonable but back in 2003 when he was in The Italian Job, the performance was little more than that of a PG tips chimpanzee. Despite always being there, he has very little in the way of important parts and seems to be there merely to make ...
...Bridger (Charlize Theron) who have the most important parts, wannabe son and real life daughter of former criminal master mind John Bridger (Donald Sutherland) whose life was ended by a rat amongst the heist team seek revenge with the help of the rest of the team. Charlie Croker seems a bit of a soft lad but plots the robbery to perfection. The heist both at the beginning and end are filled with excitement and are particularly fun and despite the ...

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.

He talks online to an unknown person, who is trying to help him. William Hurt plays Betty’s father - General Thaddeus Ross, ...

This is as confusing as 2001 A Space Odyssey

Advantages: Its great to watch the plot unravel then gradually make sense
Disadvantages: Its confusing as hell 1st time you watch it

...This chaos all starts with Fight Club. Obviously I can't talk about that because of it's rules but it rapidly goes from 2 guys to almost becoming like a fraternity but then becomes an underground cult , quickly spreading from its roots to being all over the US. Likewise Operation Mayhem which will give you a whole new appreciation of soap & how its made. The film is really weird and incredibly difficult to follow (also extremely difficult to review ...
...Durden, or at least certain aspects of Tyler Durden. At times you won't know if Pitt is real but thats the whole idea of his role and its great to constantly be kept on your toes guessing until very late into the movie. Meatloaf plays a man with testicular cancer & breasts due to hormone excess (his name is Robert Paulson). Helena Bonhom Carter plays a woman who constantly cries for attention (much like Norton in fact & also attends support groups ...

The Italian Jobs Box Set

Advantages: Great box set of a legendary film and a good remake
Disadvantages: Could have makde more of original version

I brought the box set as I enjoyed the new version at the cinema and my old version had worn out! Whilst mine was £15 at a well-known store a while ago, sets are now alot cheaper if you search for them. I'd reccommend getting the set as I enjoyed making comparsions between the films. I'm not going to cover the plots as the Italian Job is a legend but suffice to say it involves stealing large amounts of gold using minis as the getaway cars. Noel Cowards ...
...flims has changed alot since the orignial so Charlize Theron as Crokers daughter was a good addition. The DVD extras on how the new film pays homage to the old is great and shows alot of thought went into the remake. Whilst the newer version is the newer slick hollywood version rather than the british 70's budget film there are somethings that the new version cannot trump. The original mini chase is still the best and how can you replace Benny Hill ...
