RARRRR!! - GROOVY BABY!

Advantages: Fun, quirky humour and a lot of action.
Disadvantages: A little rude.

...The film 'Goldmember' opens to Austin Powers, (Michael Myers ) zooming along in his colourful Union Jack 'Shaguar', followed by a 60's psychedelic dance sequence. This sets the tone of the third film from the fabulous stable of mock spy films which parody James Bond and other similar films in the 'Spy'genre. Austin 'Danger' Powers is a trendy spy from the 60s with a penchant for the ladies and he reels them in with lines such as 'You've got my mojo ...
...at the 'swinging 60's'. Austin 'Danger' Powers is a trendy and colourful 'International Man of Mystery' from London, who travels around in time in his mission to overcome evil. Well as usual with these films of Austin Powers it isn't really about the plot, so expect little serious content here. This is a self parody, and a film within a film. The basic premise is that Doctor Evil, arch enemy to Austin Powers wants to destroy the world with his newly ...

Mr Deeds

Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: Can get a bit monotonous at times

If you are an Adam Sandler fan and just wish to relax, sit back and have a laugh, then this is the film for you! (I have watched this film on numerous occasions and just cannot get enough) This film is about Adam Sandler (Mr Deeds) whom comes from a small town, where everyone knows everybody. However, one of his wealthy family members passes away and he is left with the fortune. He moves into this huge house, has a butler, and experiences things ...
...He later meets a reporter (Winona Ryder) whom he falls for and adores, thinking that she was just an ordinary typical small-town girl. Later, he eventually finds out that she is in fact a reporter and has been reporting stories about him, which are all produced in a negative manner (making it as if he is a horrible person). Towards the end of the story, he finally gets fed up with this big city life of being rich and famous and returns back to his ...

Who wants to cook Aloo Gobi when you can bend a ball like Beckham

Advantages: Football, cultural issues
Disadvantages: None

...Aloo Gobi when you can bend a ball like Beckham? Bend it Like Beckham is a 2002 British comedy. I think, to me, it's one of those films that when they were making it they probably didn't realise how successful or liked it would actually turn out to be. It stars, at that point in time fairly unknown actors who have gone on to have amazingly successful careers, Keira Knightley who is now, according to an article I read, the second highest paid actress ...
...of course David Beckham and bend it refers to his amazing ability to bend a free kick into the back of the net (and hopefully can do it for England in 2010 too!) So, as you have probably guessed it, this film is about football and specifically girls in football. I am a girl and a football fan too so perhaps this is one of the reasons why I really liked this movie. I think the football scenes were quite realistic and I think I read somewhere that ...

2 different actors!

Advantages: Sandra Bullock
Disadvantages: Hugh Grant

I blame my mom for picking this one up. I remember it so clearly as if it was yesterday. She was in HMV picking 3 DVDs, she was looking for a third, and found this one, so she read the back and thought it sounded good, only didn't bother showing me. So when we got home and found out that nothing on TV was on we put this into our DVD Player and I automatically recognised this one, and a second after we both felt like we wasted our money, not in a ...
...TV, so it was incredibly stupid of my mom to pick it up and not noticed, however this is one of those films I could watch repetitively! The director of this film is Marc Lawrence, he isn't known by many people at all and have only directed this film and "Music and Lyrics" both films are good, but I feel that he isn't brilliant at his job, though saying that, he also writes for films and produces them so I cannot say such a thing The cast list is ...

Review of Two Weeks Notice (DVD)

Spiders, Spiders Everywhere!

Advantages: A Surprisingly Good Film
Disadvantages: None

Eight Legged Freaks Review Eight Legged Freaks is deceptively ordinary at first glance, being nothing more than another film about animals that grow to monster size and become a threat to life that must bring forward heroes and heroines to fight against it. However, a thorough use of the DVD reveals a lot more depth behind the film than such ordinariness. It was inspired by Ellory Elkayem’s black and white award winning short film, ‘Larger than ...
...is really a tribute to old B-Movie films. Further to that and perhaps more impressive, I found terrific interaction of characters in several secondary plots running throughout to the film. I’ll cover these briefly as I go through the review and also give my view of how to get the best out of the DVD and therefore the film but first let’s look at the film details. Film Classification: 12 Running Time: Approx. 95mins – PAL. Languages: English, French ...
