The Making of the Italian Stallion!
Advantages: Great story, good acting, excellent fight scenes
Disadvantages: None from me
...an amazing job with the Rocky films. I have watched them all several times over the years but only just got the DVD, this one being the first.
Stallone plays the role of Rocky Balboa who is a boxer but failed to make t to the big time. He fights in small matches and if he wins he only makes just over $40 so he also works for a debt collector. He uses a gym which is run by Mick but as Mick is angry that Rocky never tried to make it big he looses ...
...In his private life Rocky likes Adrian who works in the local pet shop and he tries to talk to her ever day but she is just too shy. Rocky is friend with her brother and he arranges a date for the pair. Apollo Creed, the heavy weight champion of the world is due to fight to keep his title in a few months in Philadelphia but his competitor has to pull out so instead of loosing all the money they have put into the advertising they decide to give an ...

Fitting but not fantastic
Advantages: Brilliant graphics
Disadvantages: Lacks a sparkle that the other films had
...impressed by the first two Pirates of the Caribbean films I was eager to see the third film, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. I must admit however that although I enjoyed this film it simply wasn't as good as its predecessors and lacked a certain sparkle that the others had prominently displayed.
The film itself was released in 2007 was a 12 certificate. It has the same all-star cast as the previous films but this time delves deeper into ...

Together they travel to Singapore to get a crew and ship in order to get Jack back from the land of the dead.
In the meantime however Lord Cutler Beckett has grained control of Davy Jones' heart and with it now controls the sea. Together the nine pirate ...

Nine Pieces of Eight?????
Advantages: Excellent Acting, great story and effects, Johnny Depp!
Disadvantages: None
...of watching the first two Pirates movies I certainly had to watch the third so I could complete the series. The third is just as good as the first two in my opinion.
We start the film with Captain Jack being trapped in Davey Jones Locker but a crew of friends set out to free him, the team is lead by Barbossa who has been brought back from the dead by Calypso. Will Turner is also along on this trip as he has his own agenda, he wishes to take hold ...
...port Royal are hanging all pirates and anyone who is found to be helping them. Will is enlisted by they to help capture Jack and led them to the Brethren court so the leader of the forces can take control of the court and rid the seas of these pirates. Elizabeth is again along on this mission but there is tension between her and Will as Will saw her kissing Jack at the end of the last film so he thinks she now loves Jack and not him. The couple find ...

Great Films
Advantages: Great Storyline
Disadvantages: I feel the ending was slightly rushed.
Excellent Trilogy, it is one of my personal favourites of all time. I would recommend it to anyone of any age.
There are a few scenes a of violence but there is nothing terrible or life changing in it. The films are very watcheable and addictive with a thriling storyline.
The films are full of great special effects, sometime it leaves you wondering whether it's actually real as it's so convincing. Amazing characters, for instance Davy Jones looks ...

John Woo gives up comedy

...and Mark are members of a counterfeit money syndicate. Kit, Ho’s younger brother, does not know this and wants to become a police officer. Ho decides he will leave the syndicate after one last deal so as not to jeopardise his brother’s future (and life). However, not surprisingly all does not go to plan and Ho ends up in prison and his dad is killed. On leaving prison Kit does not want anything to do with Ho, who he blames for his fathers ...
...22 were mainly comedies, with a few martial arts films in there as well. He was considered box-office poison and was drinking heavily, luckily however, producer Tsui Hark had faith in him and offered him the chance to write and direct his own feature. The result was this film, a remake of Lung Kong’s influential film “True Colours of a Hero”. This film changed both Hong Kong and Hollywood films.
This film also made a star out of ...
