Charlie's Angels DVD

Advantages: Superb, brain-in-netral campy fun with non-stop flashy action sequences
Disadvantages: Very 'music video' in style, Tom Green sucks, not for the curmudgeonly...and don't expect to expand your mind here!

...decent reviews at the time, Charlie's Angels was a movie I personally had vowed to avoid as being just another lame Hollywood attempt to cash in on the successes of retro TV shows. Having already suffered the atrocious mess they made of The Avengers that year as well as having sat through the likes of The Partridge Family, The Beverly Hillbillies, Mission Impossible, Wild, Wild West(yes, that was based on a 60s TV show no one remembers) and countless ...
...for a long time... Charlie's Angels is, as I hinted at and I'm sure you already know anyway, based upon the popular 70s TV show of the same name which was arguably the very first example of mainstream girl power to assault the public eye. Hitting the screens in 1976(although it was during the 80's that I saw it), it ran for 5 seasons, changing cast several times but most well remembered for its original three angels of Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith ...

Advantages: Anything that has Cameron Diaz in it, wet and 'unzipped' to the waist has got to get 5 stars
Disadvantages: not sure Lucy Liu was the right casting for the 3rd 'Angel'

Shamelessly and gratuitously sexist. Flashy, trashy nonsense. And don’tcha just love it to death! Well that was what I thought after I’d watched the re-vamped Charlie’s Angels back at the Cinema some two years ago. I confess to having the ‘hots’ for Cameron Diaz (And what red blooded male does not?) and would not push Drew Barrymore out of bed either – so those two facts in themselves drew (no pun intended) me to this movie at first. This is, after ...
...certainly never was going to get into the Oscar nominations list. But it’s a cracking over-the-top, all-action movie full of fast cars, boats and high kicking gorgeous girls – look no further. Charlie’s Angels has all these things and more! A bit like a low brow James Bond movie (– is there such a thing as a ‘HIGH BROW’, James Bond film ?). Anyway, dis-engage your brain, sit back into a comfy chair, switch on, enjoy….. The story….oh forget the story, ... Read review

Advantages: So camp it's great
Disadvantages: An extra 20 minutes wouldn't have gone a miss!

Charlie’s Angels arrived in the post on the Thursday morning; we watched it that afternoon, again on Friday with friends and again on Saturday with some more friends! I plan on watching it again, and again and again, and I firmly believe this could become one of my favourites before too long. I had heard mixed reviews about the film whose production seemed to be plagued by mishaps and problems, and at one point was almost not made because ...
...with her film, and the outcome is a little cracker. I missed this fantastic film at the cinema and was most peeved with myself, knowing this, and obviously loving me very much, Hubby ordered me my very own copy on DVD, and I put my tongue firmly in my cheek when we hit the play button. For 99 minutes I sat glued to the sofa and watched a film that made me laugh out loud, chuckle to myself quietly and smile at the pure genius of McG’s direction. ... Read review

Advantages: Two hours of brainless entertainment and gorgeous babes
Disadvantages: Two hours of brainless entertainment

NOTE: This was originally filed under the TV series because I couldnt find Charlies Angels. I didn't realise about the rogue apostophes so apologies if you've already read this. I've rewritten the original so you can go back check and rerate if you want. It should be next to this in my list. I finally got round to watching “Charlie’s Angels” and actually it was quite fun. Everyone seemed to be having a great time, there are lots ...
...reality is put on hold for the duration of the movie, and it doesn’t drag at all. If you want something to exercise the grey cells then this is not for you. It stars Cameron Diaz , Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu as the three “Angels” who are detectives hired by the mysterious “Charlie” who’s face we never see (but played by John Forsyth of Dynasty fame) to rescue kidnapped software genius Eric Knox (Sam Rockwell). ...

Advantages: good effects, all 3 fine looking angels!!
Disadvantages: cheesy, paper thin plot

Yet again I find myself writing a review on a film. I really do need to get a life LOL !!! However, I enjoy watching movies that much I may as well put my “Barry Norman” head on again and give you the low down on the latest film I’ve watched. And why not? (said in Barry Norman-esque voice!) Bored stupid on a Monday night – aren’t we all?- I decided to trawl through Sky’s copious amount of movie channels. Guess ...
...scanned through the listings on their pay per view service Sky Box Office. After much deliberation I settled on “Charlie’s Angels”. Should I have bothered? ~~CAST~~ Cameron Diaz – Natalie Lucy Lui – Alex Drew Barrymore – Dylan Bill Murray – Bosley John Forsythe – voice of Charlie Also starring : Kelly Lynch, Sam Rockwell, Tim Curry, Matt Le Blanc Running time – approx. 90 minutes Rating ...
