Advantages: Direction, Cinematography and Musical Score
Disadvantages: Small screen can never do true justice

...a little known film actor. Lawrence had a great empathy with Arabs and their culture. It is through this that he was able to command the loyalty of the warring Arab tribes and unite them in aiding the British to defeating the Turks who were allied to Germany during World War I. The most important part of the story, for me, comes after the fighting. With hindsight it explains many problems facing our world today. I have a collection of DVDs, which ...
...Arabia is definitely one of those moments. The setting for my first viewing was a huge tent at Trecco Bay, a large caravan park, in Porthcawl, South Wales where I was on holiday with my family. The floor was bare sand, which added to the atmosphere created by the film, and I was about 11 or 13. The experience was magical and intense, without any full understanding of the artistry involved. Maturity brought the knowledge of why this was such a ... Read review

Advantages: Intriguing, great acting, stunning scenery
Disadvantages: If you don't like drama films, you might find it too long

A Passage to India [1984] . . . In the film which is an almost faithful adaptation of E. M. Forster's novel A PASSAGE TO INDIA (1924), Adela Quested (Judy Davis) and Mrs. Moore (Peggy Ashcroft) travel to India to visit the latter's son Ronny (Nigel Havers), who is also Miss Quested's fiancé.

...but this experience ends as a rather tragic one for both. They get the chance to meet Dr. Aziz who seems to have a revolutionary spirit that is not satisfied with how the English treat his fellow countrymen.

Here things take a different turn. They start by visiting ... Read review

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! ... Read review

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 ... Read review
