The Notebook is the perfect night in!

Advantages: Great story-line , beautiful love tale.
Disadvantages: Bound to have you crying!

The Notebook is one of the best Romantic , Tear Jerkers that i have watched. From the begging to the end you are captuated in a tragic love tale, and are sure to come out at the end of it sobbing madly! The film, although sad has a beautiful story line where true love always come through. You instantly fall in love with the characters and the soundtrack helps create atmosphere! The story, although at first seems quite straightforward, ends with ...

Review of The Notebook (DVD)

Incredible

Advantages: Everything, Storyline, soundtrack, actors,
Disadvantages: Only 10 episodes, some special effects are now a bit dated but mostly fine.

I've loved Band of Brothers since it came out years ago. Each of the episodes has something special about it. Each episode is an hour long and almost like a mini film. The whole experience is incredibly cinematic and for anybody who loved "Saving Private Ryan" etc... this will be ideal. I've watched this series a few times and each time it is enjoyable. The cast is huge and not one performance disappoints. Damien Lewis carries the series well. I've ...
...is enhanced and even more enjoyable. The special effects can be dated if you look closely but on the whole are incredible. It would take an essay to describe everything a thing is good about this series. I'll finish by saying I've recommended this series to many people and nobody has regretted watching it. ...

Take a hit and watch this?!?!?!

Advantages: The True to life account of heroin
Disadvantages: The True to life account of heroin

Trainspotting again is one of those must see films a true British social realism film that you just cant live life without seeing. Like most British films Train spotting tells it how it is the film tells you the bad and good sides of everything to do with live the heroin addict life. Trainspotting is not just about drug addiction, but about the connection between wasted youth and the spiritually bankrupt society that has abandoned them.Why is this ...

Modern Masterpiece

Advantages: Cinematography, acting and many more
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...and more. An absolute masterpiece. There Will Be Blood contains some interesting ideologies about suburban America. Most notably an incredibly isolated one. But two that come to mind are this Anti-Religious theme and Ant-capitalism. We see the character of Plaintiff, who feels uncomfortable around Eli Sunday in relation to his evangelical preaching. Daniel Day-Lewis' character is one of a seriously repressed man, who wants no more than to own every ...
...looking for oil. From there we can see he is a violent, selfish man, who is determined to get what h wants. From there on, when he takes the son of another man and poses him as his own-also symbolises this. There are loads more but I didn’t want to give too much away as it's just blown me away! Talking of "blowing me away" the cinematography. WOW oh Wow! Again I didn't think I would see should sensational cinematography since I watched Atonement ...

A Sunday evening lesson worth watching

Advantages: A cinematic delight, with a fantastic script
Disadvantages: I cannot think of one

...is fair to say that the Shawshank Redemption is by far, one of the most influential and important films of the late 20th Century. Why do I make such a huge statement....well, simply because I have never seen a film that made me laugh, cry, sigh, wince, scream, gasp and lose my faith in humanity...only to gain it back again at the end. I would say that most people who go to buy this film today would know the premis behind the story, a well to do and ...
...of racism, homosexuality, prison brutality, the abuse of power, the abuse of religion and importantly, how the institutions many of us cherish can end up failing people and being abused. The film is gritty, dark and sometimes humourous. It is so many things. It i sthe kind of film that ne needs to sit down to watch late on a sunday evening....but not too late as it will keep you awake thinking about it. Particularly the ending which is magical. My ...
