Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Advantages: Great movie
Disadvantages: none

Truly one of the best books I have ever read. Mark Twain vividly depicts life from the viewpoint of a teenager in the southern parts of america, during the mid 1800s. The pair of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn is simply unique. The kind of slavish respect with which Huck views Sawyer; and Tom Sawyer unique ability to invent an adventure, when there is none is unparalled. It also tells us what the attitude of Whites towards the black slaves was. Huck's ...

the mummy returns

Advantages: great overall film
Disadvantages: last scene special effects

this is the sequel to the , 1999, the mummy, although this fast-paced thriller is far far far better than before. it includes new ancient evil in the form of the scorpion king (the rock), pygmy mummies and of course, imhotem, the great mummy who has to duel with the scorpion king in a breathtaking finale. this is amoung the top 20 films i, at least, have ever seen, ending with a jawdropping twist, the special effects are flawless and the plot is ...

You will remained glued to the television

Advantages: Everything, the music, the scenert
Disadvantages: nothing

...what you are looking for: The Mummy. It is an old film I admit but the actors and plot are always evergreen. Beware this contains spoilers. This film has been produced by Sean Daniel and James Jacks, directed by Stephen Sommers, Starring the ever gorgeous Brendan Fraser and the delicate Rachel Weisz and many more. The Mummy is the first amongst the trilogy, followed afterwards by "The Mummy Returns" and "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor'', Having ...
...the conclusion that I adore the two first Mummies. Brendan Fraser is sublime as an actor and even more sexier than when he was roaming around only in a buttflap in "George of the Jungle". He gives an aura of masculinity to the film and he makes me sigh with longing, His partner on screen, the beautiful Rachel Weisz, looks so innocent and perfect in the role of damsel-in-distress. Her charisma and charm make people enthralled by her acting. The plot ...

G.I. Joe - The Rise Of Cobra

Advantages: Some Good CGI, Good Story
Disadvantages: Lacks Humour, Eccleston's Scottish Accent

I went to the cinema to see this quite soon after it was released, but totally forgot about putting anything about it one here. After reading a review on the film it reminded me to write my own review, so here it is. The story follows two members of the army Duke (Channing Tatum) and Ripchord (Marlon Wayans), who join the "Joes's" after they encounter some problems. They first have to prove themselves worthy of a place on the team, before they set ...
...nano-technology to destroy whatever he wishes. My first impressions of the movie were good. You don't have to wait long before bullets start flying and things start blowing up. The first example of this has some impressive explosives and you also get a glimpse of the special effects, which were going to be on show throughout the movie. Once the movie started getting going, I became very interested in the main story. It moves at quite a fast pace, ...
