Modern classic.
Advantages: Rousing action sequences, excellent acting, beautiful score, fast paced, gorgeous cineamtography.
Disadvantages: Graphic violence may put some off.
...to old school swords-and-sandals flicks. Gladiator is one of those rare films where all the relevant boxes are ticked: riveting action sequences, strong lead, slimy villain, wonderful supporting cast, classy period detail, gorgeous cinematography, perfect SFX, moving score and just a downright thrilling tale of a man wronged. Russell Crowe is tremendous in the role and it has rightfully made him one of cinema's biggest stars and the late Richard ...
...Ridley Scott is a master of visuals and here was the perfect opportunity in recreating a new (old) world - much in the way he does with Blade Runner he fills the screen with details that demand repeat viewings. Meanwhile the script is a surprisingly moving tale which makes the revenge all the more sweet. A modern classic. ...

Not quite 'Heat', but not entirely cold!
Advantages: slick action film, clever in parts
Disadvantages: not so clever in the other parts
Swordfish is a hard action / thriller starring John Travolta as Gabriel Shear and Hugh Jackman as Stanley Jobson. The film depicts the story of Stanley, a top computer hacker who is soon brought under the wing of Gabriel, a violent and ruthless crime lord and not before long he is sucked into a world where he can no longer control the events that are unfolding around him. This film features a strong supporting cast including Don Cheadle as an FBI ...
...plays a simple brained hard man for a change and Sam Shepherd as a US Senator. I really liked this film a few years ago when it came out (2001) but it didn't do too well at cinema, partially because it was one of the terrorist based films that were pulled from screens after 9/11. However, I watched it again the other day and despite it still being pretty entertaining, I found it pretty laughable in some sections. Gabriel played by John Travolta plays ...

Yo Adrian! I did it!
Advantages: Inspiring, motivational film
Disadvantages: None. You must own this
...dribbled to an end with Rocky V, but as it turns out, the old pug still has one more fight in him. Picking up in present day Philadelphia, a middle aged Rocky is now making a living running an Italian restaurant and entertaining customers with stories of his glory days. He isn't exactly a burn-out, but he's a man facing his autumn years with no real sense of purpose. Meanwhile, current heavyweight champion Mason Dixon faces growing public apathy ...
...between Dixon and an in-his-prime Rocky has Balboa come out on top. Dixon's promoters hit upon the idea of staging a one-off exhibition bout between the two men. For Rocky, it's just the opportunity he's been waiting for - a chance to exorcise his demons and prove that he can still go one more round. I must admit, I really didn't see how Stallone could make this film work with Rocky pushing sixty. Could he really pull off such a miracle? Could he ...

Ocean's Eleven
Advantages: Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Las Vegas
Disadvantages: None
Ocean's Eleven Brad Pitt, George Clooney and a whole host of other good looking guys planning the crime heist of the century, what more could you want from a movie! Ocean's Eleven is actually a 2001 remake of the 1960 Rat Pack caper film of the same name. I've never seen the original but I would like to so I can compare the two. What's the ocean got to do with it? Is it set by the beach? No, Danny Ocean is the name of the game leader who collects ...
...Vegas. And why eleven, why there are eleven people who carry out the crime. Danny has the perfect friends in order to carry out this job, one is a fixer, another a blackjack dealer, another a pickpocket, all worthy occupations to help you scam casinos out of $150 million!! Danny is played brilliantly by the gorgeous George Clooney. He is so laid back and suave, he can get anyone to agree to do anything. He teams up with old friend Rusty to perfect ...

Goodfellas - You Had Better Read This Review or Else!!
Advantages: Gripping gangster movie with talented acting cast.
Disadvantages: A bit gory and too much swearing! (This is forgiven though, because that is how it was)
Goodfellas ***What's it about?*** This is a film made in 1991 and is based upon Henry Hill (played by Ray Liotta) and his life as a gangster for the mob in New York (directed by Martin Scorsese). The film opens with a truly gruesome scene and it doesn't get much better. The story follows Henry's journey as he starts out as a young kid (played by Christopher Serrone) observing how the mafia operate, to becoming truly assimilated within the whole mafia ...
...The film is narrated in part by Ray Liotta, explaining as his life progressed and he became entangled with the 'family'. It depicts his swift rise within the organisation from running errands to becoming a major player; earning his living through extortion and racketeering. It explores his role and that of other 'wise guys' he is befriended by. It has a fine cast including Robert De Niro, Jo Pesci (who won an Oscar for best supporting actor) and ...
