The big green man is here!
Advantages: Fast paced and lots of action
Disadvantages: None
...film! This time it was the Incredible Hulk as even though this is not one of the newer releases I wanted to see it on the big screen before it stops showing!
The film I was hoping would be action packed and I wasn't disappointed by it. The CGI was well done as is the acting - even my wife enjoyed it and she wasn't really that keen on seeing it in the first place!
The Plot - The story follows Bruce Banner as we start off at the beginning seeing ...
...and the scientists. He has been living in Brazil and trying to keep control over his powers. However the government are constantly looking for him and due to a mistake on his part they manage to trace him. He then has to run from them which leads him back to his old flame Betty.

Cast - The cast has a great line up ...

Incredible Hulk - Don't Make Me Angry!!!!!!
Advantages: Good special effects. Easy to get into. Great ending.
Disadvantages: Lacked humour.
...for something to watch over the week-end, we finally decided upon the Incredible Hulk, which is currently showing on Sky Anytime. Initially, me daughter wasn’t interested as she saw it as a ‘boy’ film, but when I explained about watching the television series whilst growing up, she decided to give it a go. What’s it all about? Well, this is a big budget superhero type film, reminiscent of the 1970’s tv series starring Bill Bixby. It tells the ...
...power. Whilst he thought the experiment was to further research that would help soldiers, the experiments were in fact designed to increase military power.

He talks online to an unknown person, who is trying to help him. William Hurt plays Betty’s father - General Thaddeus Ross, ...

Advantages: 3 films for the price of 1
Disadvantages: No extras
...seperately, so here goes:
Broken Arrow
The Story is so simple and typical of an american writer, 2 Air Force pilots are pitted against each other in a race to recover two stolen nuclear warheads.It makes you wonder what realy happens over in america, they seem to lose more nuclear weapons than i care to imagine!!! What transpires is a Fast Paced action adventure that makes you wonder what incredibel feat will the main stars (Travolta, Slater) do ...
...myself during watching!(Namely after the scene on top of the train, i added "It's been a while since anyone has shot between her legs")

Director:- John Woo
Cast include's:- John Travolta, Christian Slater, Delroy Lindo
Run Time:- 104mins approx

Good Value for money
Advantages: 3 Brilliant films all within one box
Disadvantages: Not suitable for younger viewers
The box set is a set of Quinten Tarantino's three best films. The main context of the three films is drugs crime and violence and each film comes with its own superb storyline.
Reservoir Dogs is based around a jewelry heist and shows the attitudes each member of the groups has.
Every charecter has their own specific part to play so the viewer can see the situation from every angle. The storyline becomes more intense when they realise there is a ...
...loved the film although i had to watch it a second time to grasp the whole storyline.
Jackie Brown starts by introducing an airport flight atendant who is caught smuggling in money from arms for her boss. The police decide to use her to try to catch the arms dealer. However the arms dealer, Ordell, has no hesitation to kill you if he suspects your talking about him so Jackie is caught between the two. She meets her bail bondsman and between them ...

XXX2
Advantages: Great action some good music in it
Disadvantages: none really
...I do like the second xxx 2 the next level better that the first. I hope they bring a thrid out, the way the second is left leaves it open for a follow up. Vin is a really good actor but he is hardly in the second of any of his films and this is no exception. The second one is more upbeat and positive. The idea of the film is to recruit seceret agents that have been "Bad" a little like assasin if you have ever seen that. The agents then go undercover, ...
