...just had to own! The Special Edition has so much extra to offer. Don't give this one a miss. The film is centered around an underwater drilling rig called 'Deepcore' designed by the character Lindsay. Her soon to be Ex-husband 'Bud' runs the underwater operation with a band of other operators. The Head of the Company agrees to assist in a rescue operation after a request from the U.S. Navy. The rig was to move closer to a naval submarine that had ...
...Deepcore were the nearest. As qualified divers some of the rig team are assigned to scout the submarine for survivors and other members on board the submersibles take photos and monitor the situation. The rig itself is absolutely brilliant and they did make a full size model to ensure it gave you true reality effects. They hired safety divers to monitor the actors on a one to one basis. All the actors had thorough training prior to the film as filming ...

Review of Sex And The City - The Movie (DVD)

There's final hits and final hits. What kind is this one to be?

Advantages: One Of The Best Films To Come Out Of The UK.
Disadvantages: None!

...I first saw the film Trainspotting after hearing so much controversy about it on television, from reading about it in the newspapers and from everyone talking about it around me at the time. It was all everyone was talking about on it's release in 1996 and of course I just had to see it for myself to see what all the hype was about. Well I went to the pictures to watch this film and was quite shocked by this outrageously, yet brilliant tale of five ...

He picked it up second-hand for £1 at a car boot sale, so it certainly was a great bargain. This film really will not be suited to everyone though. I think you will either love it like I do, or absolutely hate it. It certainly is worth watching once though just ...
