Advantages: none
Disadvantages: incredibly bleak & too long

...in droves. not just for the length of the film, for the amount of attention it requires to stick with it. Based on a true story Will Smith plays a salesman who decides to train to become a stockbroker. We follows the lows and even lowers of his life. the plot isn't very interesting because it's pretty obvious there's got to be a happy ending at the end of all this morose bleakness. Avoid it. It's dire and miserable and far too long for it's own ... Read review

Advantages: Truly gripping
Disadvantages: Based on a fictional character

...and popular politician who at the blink of an eye becomes a psychotic and bloodthirsty murderer who will defy anyone who tries to stand in his way. James McAvoy is equally as impressive as Amins personal doctor whose character is fictional yet very believable. This movie was released when a lot about life in Africa came out (Hotel Rwanda, The Constant Gardener) and is by far the best and most gripping with two superb performances from its leading ...

Advantages: amazing film, another almodovar classic
Disadvantages: none in particular, unless you prefer english language films

Volver (To Return) is the most recent film by Spain’s most well known and successful film director, Pedro Almodovar. I am a fan of almost all of Almodovar’s films, and even decided to do my A Level Spanish oral presentation on his life and films. I did my exam about him today, and so I decided that now would be a good time to review my favourite of his many films. *Synopsis* Volver is the story of the women in a small family living in Spain in ...
...convincingly. *My opinion* Volver is my favourite film by Almodovar, although I love the majority of his work. I just thought that the storyline of this film was fantastic, and that the actors really helped to make the film as amazing as it could be. The fact that this is the only one of his films that I have seen on the big screen in a cinema probably helped, as this added to the atmosphere the first time I saw it. If you have seen any others ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent film
Disadvantages: none

...vividly that incredible week at the beginning of September 1997 - the week Princess Diana died. Particularly I remember the complete shock, followed by an outpouring of public grief never known before and probably never likely to be known again in our lifetime, and the hostility vented against the Royal Family for not showing their emotions and instead opting for the 'stiff upper lip!' I was never a big Diana fan, although I did feel her death was ...
...to note that one of the things that this film did not do, at least in my mind, was to come down on one side or another and I think that all the events were depicted in a very honest way. The key players in this film are obviously the Queen herself, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, the Queen Mother and Tony and Cherie Blair. Princes William and Harry are not shown at all which I think was a very good decision as even after all the time that had elapsed ... Read review

Advantages: Great story, directing and musical score.
Disadvantages: Needs 100% attention

Story was very well written, ties together beautifully. The music is powerful and the directing is magnificent. Stunning, very well made. It may not be very fast paced at some parts but some of the stories are tense enough to keep it moving on well. Studies the difficulties of language and cultural barriers very well. All characters are very interesting. Stunningly beautiful in a painful way, some of the cinematography is breathtaking. Would not ...
...it needs allot of concentration and is not always an easy watch at some parts, it deals with a few heavy issues. The directing and music enhance the amazing script from a good film to a great film. I hold this film highly. Would recommend a a good quality wide screen and sound system as the sound and visuals are stunning. ... Read review
