Johnny Depp As You've Never Seen Him Before!
Advantages: Some tension
Disadvantages: Very slow
...in so I thought that Nick Of Time must have been a low budget, straight to DVD film and guess what… I was right!
Unfortunately starring Johnny Depp and the excellent Christopher Walken just isn’t enough to save this movie from being a bit of a washout. From the synopsis I thought that although it was likely to be a low budget thriller, from the A-List cast I thought that it may just be a diamond in the rough and not the budget bin filler it was ...
...cheap feel to it right from the start, it was made in 1995 so it’s obviously a little dated but straight away when the credits came on I got the feeling that it was likely to be a little substandard and lacklustre as so many straight to DVD movies are. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a bad film, far from it actually and at times it shows real potential but I feel that if a bigger budget were issued and the story was revised a little then it could ...

Die Hard with tumbleweed - literally gave me nightmares
Advantages: Stylish, ultimately moral
Disadvantages: Make sure the kids are asleep before watching
I'm feeling quite smug because it had occurred to me that this isn't a gangster movie. John Smith (Bruce Willis) arrives like a time-traveller to what is clearly the 19th century wild west, but with prohibition. Then reading the review by jpegington I found out this is indeed a remake of a Clint Eastwood movie. It also manages to be a remake of Die Hard, because once again we have Willis as a loner fighting back against the odds, with the same near ...
...violent film that more than lives up to its 18 rating. Not because the violence is gory, but because it is unrelenting. I honestly did have nightmares after viewing this. On the other hand like many uber violent movies it could be argued that this is a very moral film because it underlines the pointlessness of it all. Willis as so often surprisingly good. But I'll have to disagree with others about Walken who I felt was sleep walking this one. Same ...

Who said romance was dead?
Advantages: Original, fast paced, a multitude of stars
Disadvantages: Too violent, swearing
True Romance is a fantastic film which boasts an all-star cast including the likes of Christopher Walken, Christian Slater, Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman amongst others and the film is filled with such colourful characters and indeed dialogue which provides a somewhat memorable movie. The plot is that Chrisitan Slater is an affable and well-meaning comic book clerk who goes out on a date with a hooker, played by Patricia Arquette, and they both fall ...
...chemistry between the two stars in the film, and they set out on a wild road trip after Slater kills Drexyl, Arquette's former pimp and coming into possession of some narcotics owned by the Mob. Oldman hams it superbly as the somewhat larger than life and colourful pimp and rarely has there been such a character in a film who is so obnoxious, so unbelievably vile with no redeeming characteristics whatsoever that we cannot help but cheer when he meets ...

Domino: Mean Machine
Advantages: lots of big bangs
Disadvantages: acting not amazing
...based upon the life of Domino Harvey, the english born model turned all american bounty hunter.
As a peron and a character, she is flawed, but you love her all the same. Her bording school manners have long been forgotten in this full throtle film.
If you like Knightley, this will be a surprise, though her 'method' of acting I find the same. Not that I could see Elizabeth Bennet replacing Domino.
Also, its one of those films, in which you catch ...
...Unfortunately, Domino died in the making of the film. She had been on drugs for a long while and though stayed clean for a long while, succumbed to a heart attack.
This film isn't anything too serious though, it is full of explosions and ricocheting gun fire. ...

Who knew that gorgeous muscle men could act?!
Advantages: Funny, entertaining, good action
Disadvantages: Childish at times
Welcome To The Jungle is an action comedy film released back in 2003. The film was originally called The Rundown, the title was used in certain countries including America however Welcome To The Jungle was the title that was used in the majority of countries. The film did well with the critics wit 71% giving the film a good review. The film is rated 12 and runs for approximately 104 minutes. The film grossed an estimated $80,916,492 at the box office.
...
...the two actors triumphed with Welcome To The Jungle, the two are very funny together and have some great moments. Their size is played on a lot too, I believe The Rock is about 6’5 and Sean William Scott no more than 5’9. M only critism would be that sometimes things do get a bit silly and tedious, the same jokes seem to be used more than once throughout the film and that can become very tiresome.
The stories good and there’s some really good action ...
