The Godfather - Cinematic greats
Review of The Godfather DVD by
shanediablo
Advantages: Story, Cast + Performances, Score, Director
Disadvantages: None
...which automatically get named whatever the era and however long since the piece produced. The Godfather happens to be one of those films. It is based firmly on the novel by Mario Puzo - whom also helped the director Francis Ford-Coppola with writing the screenplay.
The film is set in New York, following a mafia family (The Corleone family) of sicillian origins in Post war america. The story is focussed on two main protagonists - Don Vito Corleone ... ...a war hero thrust into the heart of family business.
The family is in disarray when Vito is gunned down in broad daylight and left fighting for his life for refusing to strike a drug related deal. Santino/Sonny (James Caan) is the eldest son and heir apparent therefore takes over the reins in his fathers absence; Sonny is, however, a hotheaded character and his aggressive streak and yearning for vengeance ultimately results in a full-scale war between ...

What can i say that will live up to this movie?
Review of The Godfather Part II DVD by
Gaz_23
Advantages: The mix of the two greats is amazing
Disadvantages: The longness of the movie may put some veiwers off
Starting when the first movie left off, this film brings in the continual change of Michael just as well as the original. The first left us with Michael Corleone, the head of the Corleone family, trying to turn his portion of the American-Italian mafia into straight guys earning a straight living, this one continues, but to no avail. With flashbacks to his fathers growth in power, this movie explains the beginnings of Michaels family. His fathers ... ...De-Niro. His class act steals the show. This was arguably one of his best performances. His delivery of lines ties in with Brandos performance, which brings great continuity to the character. The music and scores fit in perfectly with the storyline, making the Godfather experience all that more special. With the theme tune being played throughout the director shows great creativity in disguising it in various parts of the Corleone life. Also the ...

A + for any film lover
Review of 21 DVD by
calumneilson
Advantages: Great plot, good acting
Disadvantages: Slow Start
This is an amazing film.
A student is trying to apply for Harvard but needs to be amazing to get a scholarship. He is amazing at maths and is asked to join a card counting group. They go to Vegas and make millions, until things go wrong.
The plot is gripping, you will always be wanting to find out what is coming next. You will never be bored. The start of the film is a little slow, but this is like all films.
The acting is really top notch, a ... ...main characters are all amazing.
The filming is great, plot is amazing and characters are brilliant actors. I see no reason why you will not like this film if you are a fan of non-violent crime/thriller movies.
The only downside is that card counting is way hard than this film makes out! ...

Frodo cannot stay Frodo forever!
Review of Green Street DVD by
05cwestr
Advantages: Action pact
Disadvantages: Elijah wood is not different because he is not frodo.
Green street is an excellent film that is action pact.
In the film west ham supports have there own gang, this is the same as any other football team across Europe. West ham use to be the most feared of them all until the major left. When Matt Buckner (Elijah Wood) becomes part the crew a split in the gang starts to begin. After every game the GSH (green street hooligans) Will fight the other supporters and will cause trouble. Through out the film ... ...the ultimate price is paid. This action pact film shows emotion, fear and aggression all rolled into one movie. WOW! With strong violence and language this is not a film for people that do not like blood. I totally advise you to watch it but for all those Lord of the rings fans out there this will be kind of odd (It was for me anyway) the fact that Elijah wood is not frodo Baggins.
Despite this I loved the action that continued right the way through ...
