BULLITT STEVE MCQUEEN DVD (1968)
Review of Bullitt DVD by donovan74

Advantages: THE VERY BEST CAR CHASE SEEN ON EARTH
Disadvantages: THE GREEN BEETLE

Bullitt is the film, the Mustang for me is the show, when you talk about Car Chase's theres only one that really stands out for me yes I Know about Ronin, The Italian Job, French Connection, Taxi ect, all had great in car moments but Steve Mcqueen in a Mustang 68'gt on the streets of San Francisco in the 60's chasing the baddies is for me complete and utter octane. Steve Mcqueen plays Frank Bullitt who is a detective protecting a witness for a seedy ...
...Duvall everything looks right. Bullitt did win an Oscar but sadly not for the Car chase action but for best Film Editing which brings me back to the Great Chase, if you have watched it i.e the chase scene as much as me (probably over 500 times and wearing out VHS's and DVD players) you will notice a green VW Beetle Steve passes several times. Now if that films won an Oscar for best Editing (the green VW beetle) surely theres been a mistake just look ... Read review

The Defender.
Review of Jet Li - The Defender DVD by Sim09

Advantages: Decent Action Sequences. Entertaining.
Disadvantages: Badly Dubbed. Sub par Acting.

Jet Li stars in this Kung Fu Film as highly trained bodyguard John Chang sent to protect the girlfriend (Christy Chung) of a wealthy businessman after she becomes the sole remaining witness to murder. But that you can find out just by reading the back of the case. First things first... the dubbing. To be honest it is just what you should expect from an early 1990's Chinese film. I.e. So bad it borders on hilarity. As with many martial arts films ...
...besides scream in terror as Jet Li saves the day. This brings us onto the main part of any martial arts film. The action. While there isn't as much as you would perhaps wish the film more than makes up for it with the scale of it all. Over the course of 3 or 4 sequences Jet Li racks up an impressive body count whether it's out at the shopping mall or in the final showdown at the end. The final sequence by the way, is great. Intense fighting in a ... Read review

Faster Than a Speeding Bullet (Ehh...Bullitt)
Review of Bullitt (Special Edition) by the_mad_cabbie

Advantages: A solid late 1960's movie. That totally incredible car chase sequence
Disadvantages: Very poor storyline. Now a little dated.

...12-minute long car chase when Bullitt pursues two of the aforementioned mobsters around the streets of San Francisco in his highly tuned Ford Mustang. The bad guys are driving a Dodge Charger, by the way, and so with two legendary American "muscle" cars pitting themselves against each other neither are short of horsepower! Watching a repeat of the movie recently on Sky Movies, I was taken just how dated this car chase has now become with the passage ...
...the car chase scene in Bullitt is truly remarkable. What's also interesting is that this car chase could never be filmed today. Warner brothers got permission from the Mayor of San Francisco to use the actual city streets, something that wouldn't even be contemplated in today's safety conscious society. And no insurance company would ever be prepared to carry the horrendous financial risk of insuring the actors, the cars, and the public during the ... Read review

What a film!!!!!!!!
Review of Sin City DVD by nathan_jones69247

Advantages: great watch
Disadvantages: very dark

An absolutely great movie. This movie was awesome from the word go. It's got a very atmospheric feel and all the characters in the film are great. The film is made up of a few short stories kinda like pulp fiction. It's a very graphic and violent movie based on the underworld and its comic book picturisation creates a great atmosphere. Micky Rourke in my opinion give the best performance of his career, even though he was only in it for around 30 ... Read review

The Legendary Trilogy from the Legendary Spiderman
Review of Spider-Man Trilogy (Box Set) by shin4

Advantages: All
Disadvantages: None

This is an excellent must have Boxset!!!! It is one of the most highly rated, highly popular and very famous comic superhero of many decades and of our time!!!! Now it is on DVD and as a trilogy!!! Spiderman, Spiderman 2 and Spiderman 3. The ultimate collection!!! The Boxset contains the following films: *Spiderman (2002) Duration Time: 121 mins Certificate: 12 (in the UK) *Spiderman 2 (2004) Duration Time: 127 mins Certificate: PG (in the ...
...Certificate: 12A (in the UK) The first film release is the most sensational out of the 3. This is because it is where Peter Parker (played by Tobey Maguire) is transformed by a red-blue coloured spider into a superhero. We also see the departure of his uncle, Ben (played by Cliff Robertson) which leads to the hero becoming more responsible. We are also introduced to Aunt May (played by Rosemary Harris), who goes through so much as an Aunt and as ... Read review
