Advantages: You Can Switch It Off
Disadvantages: Its Sad To See Stallone Sink Even Lower

...owner of a copy of Driven through a joke £1 bid on ebay. There was a day left on the auction, surely I would be outbid. Surely. But no, my bid won, I couldn't believe it. Why would the seller even accept such a low bid, I didn't care, I'd got one over on him. Little did I realise he was probably laughing all the way to the bank with his shiny little pound. I should have guessed something was up when no-one else put in a bid. They knew something I ...
...since Sylvester had started turning up in the paddock at every F1 meeting about 7 years ago. He was planning to make a movie about F1, applying the good old rocky formula, racer is coming to end of career, racer gets his chance, mean German/Brit/Scandinavian gets in his way, racer overcomes him as he overcomes his own personal demon and roll titles. Another Stallone triumph in the bag, surely. Then I found out he'd had a wee row with the F1 people ... Read review

Advantages: the cast
Disadvantages: fans of the original might not appreciate it

...version of the classic movie Get Carter. For all you Stallone fans out there, you will love his new darker approach in this movie. Sporting an awful goatie, which doesn't quite suit him, he seems a lot more meaner, and proves he hasn't lost his intimidation skills. When Carter Finds out his brother has been murdered, he flies back too seattle to search for the killers, and stops at nothing to get the answers to the questions he wants. He doesn't ...
...own. The film will get you guessing who the real killer is all the way through the movie. I was impressed to see that Micheal Cain from the original film also stars in this movie, along with Mickey Rourke, who's youthful good looks has definately gone down the pan.. Carter also wants out of his life being a gangster, this being his final job, but it's not so easy to just leave when you work for a massive crime lord. He not only has to deal with ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap to buy on video and DVD
Disadvantages: A little lame in places

...stars as LA cop Ray Tango while Kurt Russell is Gabe Cash, his hated partner. The two get framed for a crime they didn't do, by a criminal who wants them out of the way. They end up in prison together and then break out to get the man who put them there. It's an unlikely but fun scenario. There are some violent scenes but that's typical of an action film like this. Terri Hatcher co-stars as Tango's sister and of course, there's a touch of romance ...
...it up as an international criminal. The acting isn't the greatest in the world and the plot and general background are predictable but it's still a fun movie. There are some great one-liners as well, especially from a cantankerous Sylvester Stallone. The two main characters are likeable and the film doesn't take itself too seriously. Stallone and Russell had generally only done straight action films at this point so it was a little bit different ... Read review

Advantages: It is so funny..
Disadvantages: Only 90 minutes running time..

...asked me to go see Hancock with him I was actually slightly excited, as from the trailers it looks like a really funny film.. I was left wondering if I was going to be disappointed..? But I wasn't..! The Film At ninety minutes long it is not the most lengthy film, but it does not skimp on the drama or comedy. Released on July 2nd both in the United kingdom and the United States, it was one of the biggest box office smashes of recent films ...
