...the fight, dedication and determination Gandhi had to secure the countries independence. The film is both moving and very informative, its slow paced but that's the purpose of the film, its both dramatic and so powerfully moving. The film was a true appraisal of the life and legacy of Mahatma, it showed his beliefs, his coriage, power and determination to fight for a just cause. The film was brilliantly directed by Attenborugh, and is lead by a very ...
...known figure. We see how Gandhi gets assisnated during an evening walk in the garden, being shot by a young man and then shouting out "Oh God" before he dies. The film then rewinds back to the early moments of Gandhi's movement for freedom. We don't get to see his childhood or any aspect of his parental life etc, it moves straight into the pivotal moment were Gandhi is thrown off a train in South Africa, because he was travelling in first class. ...

Advantages: Stunning performance by downey jr, great cast,
Disadvantages: Concentrates a little to much on Chaplins private life

...I have been a Charlie Chaplin fan (and a fan of silent comedies in general) since i bought Chaplins masterpiece Modern Times, when i first bought this film, i was wondering how could someone possibly portray Chaplin on screen, but Downey Jr pleasently surprised me. The story follows Chaplins (Downey Jr) rise to stardom starting of as a stand in singer and dancer when his mother (Geraldine Chaplin) is booed of stage, to his final years in exile in ...

Advantages: Spooky, mad movie
Disadvantages: A bit long

There Will be Blood - I think this title is very fitting for this movie. It's like a warning, there will be blood and oh my gosh, how definitely true this statement was. There Will be Blood is a 2007 film staring Daniel Day Lewis in the lead role. He actually went on to win the 2007 Academy Award for best Actor for his portrayal of Daniel Plainview. Overall the film was nominated for eight Academy Awards. The film is set in California at the turn ...
...first 15 minutes or so there is no talking and the only sounds we hear is from the spooky cello and piano music. The scenery is quite dark and definitely paints the landscape like it must have been back then. It really suits this type of work as well, the dark, loneliness of the oil fields. It makes prospecting for oil look extremely hard and dangerous and not something you want to be involved in if you are just a lowly worker. Daniel Plainview receives ... Read review

Advantages: There aren't any!
Disadvantages: Where do I start? Bad acting, rubbish storyline....

...figuired it didn't matter if the film itself was ruubish, as at that price was so cheap. Oh how I was wrong!..... The storyline is pretty basic, with Jennifer Love Hewitt being a spoilt rich girl who wants to "increase her social position" by climbing that 'social ladder'. Things is, I'll be honest: after an hour of the film I turned it off. I refuse to watch the rest of it! I am a fan of Miss Love Hewitt, but in this film her acting was appaling! ... Read review

Advantages: Dancing
Disadvantages: No real story line

WOW love this DVD cannot get enough of it. It's quite different to the first though.More dancing, BETTER dancing. I was watching this with my sister and my friends I just can't get enough of it. It's one to watch if you're either at home with friends or partner. If you like films such as Oceans eleven and thrteen then you'll love this. Though the dacing is good, wait no good is an under statement it's FABULOUS but it's got no organised story plot ...
...Definitely one to watch. It's aimed at teenagers more than grown adults. I would most definitely recommend this to any on to watch either on a night in. all in all i love it for me the film is the one of the most compared to 'save the last dance'. ... Read review
