Not all that Grimm

Advantages: The visuals
Disadvantages: The acting isn't great

...in a film finally!) playing the brothers Grimm in a film that uses ideas from their many stories and fairy tales to bind a common theme. The 2 brothers are con-men and use folk tales to hoodwink stupid villagers out of their money for almost no work on their part. This is at least until they are nearly caught then have to face a real fairy tale! They are assisted by Mackenzie Crook (mostly known for The Office in the UK) and the other chap whose ...
...brilliant. Steal Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, The ginger bread man, Snow White, Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin, and then mix them all together. Watch it. Love it then watch it some more. This is a film adults and kids will enjoy many times. (this review also appears on dooyoo) ...

Tomorrow is just another day for Bond

Advantages: Great modern work all round
Disadvantages: Ever so slightly lacks Cubby Broccoli's magic

Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) is the 18th Bond film, and the second starring Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. Brosnan's first outing as Bond in Goldeneye in 1995 was a great success following a 6 year gap since Timothy Dalton's Bond in Licence to Kill in1989. Goldeneye bridged the gap following the end of the Cold War and the reduction of Soviet villains for Bond, and paved the way for a more modern Bond dealing with more topical issues, as we see here ...
...Goldeneye. While there was success, Tomorrow Never Dies did not rise straight to the top of the box office chart as it was released on the same day as Titanic - not necessarily an error on anyone's part, for who would have thought anything else could have outsold a Bond film? But it did, even though the total amount taken at the box office was more than Goldeneye. Bond musical legend John Barry again opted out of adapting music for the film, but ...

Ronin DVD Review

Advantages: Robert De Niro, Paris!
Disadvantages: It's not exactly 'deep' in terms of plot.

Ronin possesses four things that I truly love in life: Robert De Niro's acting ability, beautiful French scenery, spectacular action, and my Yorkshire heritage (represented by the consistently-good Sean Bean). So, naturally I'm going to love it, right? Right. Frankenheimer, a former amateur racing driver, is responsible for directing this action-thriller that boasts all of the above, and some of the greatest car chases to ever grace a cinema audience. ...
...Most of the scenes in Ronin are made up of violent rivalies and a high-speed car chases. Pure entertainment, with the odd line of wisdom thrown in every now and then from the great De Niro. Ronin is neither over-the-top or completely dumb. The car chases all seem pretty realistic, even if they are an excuse to give the film some action; the stunt work is fantastic, and Frankenheimer's experience as an amateur racing driver definitely appears valuable ...
