The Godfather trilogy

...and deleted scenes, cast and crew interviews and many other special features. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, The Godfather Trilogy won a number of Oscars for both Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro (his first oscar). Even 30 years later this is still one of the greated films ever made. ...

The Best Of De Niro? You Decide!

Advantages: Three of the best of De Niro's films
Disadvantages: One Lame movie, one turkey, and a confusing format issue

...few will dispute that over the last 30 years few actors have had a resounding and impressive screen presence than Robert De Niro. Although I believe of late he has lost his way slightly during the 70's, 80's, and 90's he was easily the guy at the top of the ladder. The Robert De Niro collection gathers 5 of his works together; unfortunately with these sort of collections the quality of work is impeded by the fact that the company releasing the box ...
...but they are obviously not the five best movies of his career. Warner Brothers of whom have created this box set have included the following movie Heat, The Mission, This Boys Life, Goodfellas and City By The Sea. For the record if I had compiled of collection of his finest works I would have replaced This Boys Life and City By The Sea with Angel Heart and Once Upon A Time In America. The thing that surprised me most about this collection is Warner's ...

Michael Patrick King is an American film director and screenplay writer. Besides Sex and the City he wrote the screenplay of ...

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 ...
...ago that my husband purchased Trainspotting to add to our DVD collection as we both really enjoyed watching it over the years at various times on television (in a sick kind of way I guess). 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 ...
