Probably most impressive movie about Troy war

Advantages: Very impressive movie, strong leading actors.
Disadvantages: The plot is very well known, so you probably won't be surprised

...simple - the story of Troy war is very widely known, many times screened before. So the problem is that many people before seing this movie already knows main details of it's plot, and how the movie is going to end. Anyway, even if you know the story, this movie is very impressive, entertaining and worth to watch it. ...

Violent but Entertaining

Advantages: Superb direction, excellent acting
Disadvantages: Graphic violence

Bonnie and Clyde should be considered one of the great ground breaking movies and not just for some of the cinema effects used. Bonnie and Clyde as directed by Arthur Penn told the story not from the side of law enforcement but from the side of the villains. By doing so the crimes of the couple were romanticised and the law enforcers were portrayed as variously stupid and finally cruel. The film continued the development of Warren Beatty as a Hollywood ...
...which charted ‘The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde’ and the establishment of crossover culture in fashion and music from the cinema was born. This was the probably the first time that cinema was used in this way where previously the crossover had been from pop artists making films such as Elvis, Cliff Richard etc. The pace and direction of the film are superb and long before the spellbinding and closing end sequence you are gripped by the ...

Convoy

Advantages: a good entertaining movie..
Disadvantages: can be boring for some

...**SOUNDTRACK** Convoy by C.W.McCall Lucille by Kenny Rogers Keep on the sunny side by Doc Wilson Cowboys don't get lucky all the time by Gene Watson Walk right back by Annie Murray Blanket on the ground by Billie Joe Spears Southern Nights by Glen Cambell Don't it make my brown eyes blue by Crystal Gayle I cheated on a good woman's love by Merle Haggard **IN CONCLUSION** Not a bad movie, even better if you are or ever have been a C.B. ...
...calibre and date has to offer. There are no special effects so the movie relies on acting and the ability of the cameramen to follow truckers along a vast desert. It has the usual action, comedy, a bit of drama and the usual romantic encounter. The soundtrack merges with the movie quite well and seems to give the viewer a little more entertainment. As the movie rolls on and the 'convoy' of trucks grows, snaking along the arid track towards its ...
