Could it get any better?
Review of Moulin Rouge / Romeo And Juliet DVD by
jobelobie69
Advantages: Two amazing films in one pack!
Disadvantages: ... The end credits?!?!
Where do i begin?! 2 fantastic films, 1 amazing director, in a single pack for one price... what could be better? In past experience, when i have bought a multipack of 2 or more films there is usually one that im not that overly keen on. However, this is a complete exception. Personally i have all the elements i look for in entertaining and enjoyable films in one seletion, with both the musical and theatrical genres included. As a partial theatre ...

Romeo And Juliet (Valentines Edition)
Review of Romeo And Juliet (Valentine's Edition) by
samanthajane
Advantages: Breathtaking
Disadvantages: Not everyone will understand it
...beautiful.Everyone knows the story of Romeo And Juliet dont they but this is set in modern day which adds to the drama.I find this the best version of the story i have seen but it is a case of love it or hate it as the old english for some people is hard to keep up with.The action moves very quick but it is not brain numbing.The famous suicide scene will have even the machoist of men crying.The soundtrack is very good,very modern and the acting is ...

Sometimes you win sometimes you loose
Review of Match Point DVD by
MI9to5
Advantages: Can be tense, shocking and unpredictable
Disadvantages: Appears to be a typical chick-flick on the surface
My reason for purchasing Match Point in the first instance was quite simple, Jonathon Rhys Myers was in it and for me that was as good an excuse as any to buy a new film. I'm so glad however that I did buy this film because not only does Rhys Myers play a fantastic part and look extremely handsome for the main but the film has become a firm favourite of mine.
Chris (Jonathon Rhys Meyers) is an Irish tennis coach who after coaching Tom, the son of ... ..."There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net and for a split second it can go either forward or fall back. With a little luck it goes forward and you win. Or maybe it doesn't and you lose."
This line sums up the double-edged sword that the film is, as on more than one occasion the ball may go forward and Chris may uphold the life he has dreamed of but just as easily it may fall backwards and the world he has come to love may ...

A Fantastic film well worth watching
Review of A Beautiful Mind DVD by
PeterTruss26
Advantages: Good film rooted in a real life story with good performances by the actors
Disadvantages: None that I can think of
...enjoyed this film. It is a emotional story which has a few twist and turns to keep you on your toes with some action scenes enlivening it. This is as well as a gritty realism from the true story behind the film of John Nash's struggle with mental illness. Lead actor Russel Crowe puts in a convincing and engaging performance as the brilliant but afflicted mathamatician John Nash. All the characters work well with Connelly combining well with Crowe ...
