Hold your breath

Advantages: Special Effects
Disadvantages: No enough alien contact

...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 ...

THE AMERICAN FRIEND (1977) [FILM ONLY REVIEW]

Advantages: Wim Wenders, Bruno Ganz and Dennis Hopper
Disadvantages: None

Wim Wenders' THE AMERICAN FRIEND was released in 1977, one year after the then relatively unknown German director had unleashed one of the world's greatest films, KINGS OF THE ROAD. With a masterpiece already under his belt after just four feature films, what could he do with Ripley's Game, a gripping Patricia Highsmith novel? In Hamburg, Germany, a picture framer, and art restorer, meets and, for professional reasons, shuns an American dealer of ...
...can't be cured, and when the American dealer, a philosophical sociopath, finds out about it he spreads a false rumour that the picture framer is going to die. He then visits the picture framer in his little shop and offers him a way to leave some sort of legacy behind for his wife and child: to become a hitman for an associate of his, a French businessman who wants to kill off a rival. The ailing picture framer outright refuses such a diabolical ...

Review of The Family Man (DVD)

Devdas DVD - AMAZING SETS, BEAUTIFUL COSTUMES AND A GREAT CAST

Advantages: good cast, great cinematography
Disadvantages: its a little too coey for the guys

...The love triangle of Paro, Devdas and Chandramukhi. Chanrumukhi is the most interesting character to me because she is perceived by society as a strong 'iron maiden' type figure who can stand up to anyone. However it is she who ultimately sacrifices more than Paro as she devotes her life to serve and love Devdas. In my view this film definitely leaves the viewer entertained from start to finish ...
