Discover Feng Shui DVD

Advantages: Great Action Scenes
Disadvantages: Not storyline!

...scenes. I know lots of people that would criticise this film for the lack of storyline, but I have to say I loved every minute of it and will definitely be adding it to my DVD collection. It’s over 2 hours of pure laughter, action and adrenaline, but the start of the film and the ending left me feeling disappointed, also quite a lot of the film did not gel together and left me feeling confused, but I can forgive that as I was kept entertained. Captain Howard (Joe Pantoliano) plays a great role as Mike and Marcus’s boss, he’s still struggling to keep control of what’s going on, I have the impression he has been attending some kind of anger management course along with Feng Shui, as Mike and Marcus are still causing him major grief. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are as superb in this sequel as they were... Read review

Advantages: A slice of life, Argentinean style
Disadvantages: Slow moving and nothing much happens

...The Lost Embrace is what Ariel, a mid to late twenties Argentinean Jew of Polish extraction, feels he missed in his childhood, his father having run off to fight in Israel not long after he was born. What he has instead of a father though is what amounts to an extended family, the shop owners of a small mall in Buenos Aires where his mother runs a little lingerie shop.

They are all friends and help each other out whenever they can. While Lost Embrace focuses on Ariel and his aimless life, forever complaining about his father and trying to get a Polish passport so... Read review

Advantages: Hysterically Funny
Disadvantages: Lots of Bad Language - not suitable for family viewing.

...discovers what it means to have a test for prostate problems. And then he tells of his wife's reaction of hysterical laughter when he goes home and moans about it. In Belfast, he talks of astrology, feng shui and aromatherapy - which he particularly knocks with his phrase, "smell yourself better!" An hysterical tale of a terrible road accident then is related with an aroma-therapist trying to help out. In Killarney, he talks of his dislike for sand and beaches and sites as the root of his hatred, being forced when on holiday, to go to the beach with his parents in the rain. He's in Newcastle next, telling more funny tales about sleep apnea (snoring) and his home remedies for it and what happened when he was in Australia. In Plymouth, it's the turn of old people again and is all about him asking his children to tell him if he's picking up... Read review
