Along Came Jones DVD

Advantages: Fun and full of nice cars
Disadvantages: Story is a bit slow moving

...I read all of the hype which came along with this film, and decided I needed to see it. A mixed cast of well known actors (Nicolas Cage), and relative unknowns including Vinny Jones and the man who played Phoebes brother from Friends. The film is by no means a classic, but it is full of action once the story line gets moving. I went to see it twice, the story was poor but again when the car chases begin it is very fun. This film will be adored by men, still living in the wonder years of the Dukes of Hazard and the A Team, however ladies beware, unless you love Nicholas Cages smile, stay well clear.... Read review

The Main plots of the films: Raiders of the Lost Ark: Rader’s of the Lost Ark was the first of three epics in the Indiana Jones Trilogy. Released to worldwide audience in 1981... Read review

Disadvantages: Some of the effects shots look a little ropey

...Whips,chains,maidens,heroes,nazis action and adventure! What more could you want from a film, ok then three films and a bonus DVD of special features. Grab your dusty old fedora and bullwhip folks cos Dr Jones is in town. It is difficult for me to know where to start with this review because I love the whole Indiana Jones experience. He is the action hero of the 1950's Saturday morning cinema,brought bang up to date....well sort of (more about my only gripe later) . Dr Jones is an archetypal archaeologist. he works in a university,he wears glasses and mumbles about relics of old. But at weekends he wears a dress and calls himself Mandy. Dr Indiana Jones works in the classroom next door and he does all of the latter but at weekends he hunts for the Ark of the Covenant and The Holy Grail. What is it all about?
