A biopic of Howard Hughes
Review of The Aviator DVD by
sunmeilan
Advantages: Interesting story, good acting
Disadvantages: Too darn long
...documentary about this film and the life of Howard Hughes just before Christmas and thought it looked like an interesting film, although Leonardo di Caprio seemed like an odd choice for the main character. The length of the film also put me off. Then one evening with absolutely nothing to watch on TV, I got it out. It would be hard to make a bad film about a man with a life like Howard Hughes', but even so, I was more impressed that I had expected ... ...with his own aeroplanes as the stars of the show. His sense of perfection led him to plough millions of dollars into the film and it was many years before the film was finally seen by the public. It was a huge success and solidified Hughes' career as a playboy film maker. He had a series of affairs, two of which with well-known actresses, Katherine Hepburn and Ava Gardner. At the same time, Hughes was battling with mental illness - obsessive compulsive ...

Super Summer of Sam
Review of Summer Of Sam (Wide Screen) by
mandina
Advantages: Great value for money, each scene is a work of art
Disadvantages: Some scenes are quiet upsetting
...and this is exactly what Summer of Sam is. The fictional story unfolds against the backdrop of real events in New York, in the memorable summer of 1977. The city is in the grip of a heatwave and the terror of a serial killer. John Leguizamo and his Italian Brooklyn buddies are as usual full of pasta and prejudice and the 'punk' tendencies of their mate Adrian Brody brings out the worst in all of them. This is a truely great film with wonderul disco ...

Very rare: All-star-casts + a great, deep plot!
Review of All The King's Men DVD by
LukeParker
Advantages: Deep plot with twists, complicated characters
Disadvantages: Main character not likeable
...story takes place in 1954, all over Lousianna. It happens to run the course of Sean Penn's Political career from lowly origins up to the day the Louisanna Legislature attempts to Impeach him from the Governership. Some might say this story is told about his charachter since it was an extroadinary story, being voted in by the lower class and despised by everyone with power and money there. However, the story revolves around Jude Law's character, a ... ...named, this film shuffles around all these pawns on Penn's chessboard, and you never really know if you love Penn's charachter or hate him... There's something not quite right about him, and it's facinating. The one thing I am sure of after the movie is over is that I don't like Jude's character, who we root for more than once in the movie, and is clearly the viewpoint of the story... So all in all, I have to say I feel a bit let down. It's almost ...

Star Crossed Lovers
Review of Romeo And Juliet (Special Edition) (Wide Screen) by
ChemicalRomance
Advantages: It can always make me cry
Disadvantages: Some over acting
Romeo and Juliet, just happens to be one of the greatest love stories of all time… A tragic love story, but a love story none the less. Most people nowadays in secondary school are taught this play by the renowned William Shakespeare, and that is also where my love affair with this film started. I must admit for all my admiration of the Baz Luhrmann version of this film, it took me a long time to actually get round to buying this on DVD..! When I ... ...understand..!
The main characters:
Romeo Montague - Leonardo DiCaprio
Juliet Capulet - Clare Danes
~~ The Plot ~~
I won't give away too much of the plot because I am guessing that the majority of you are more than aware of the plot or even this adaptation of the play. Basically, it is a story following two teenagers from two opposing families, who fall in love and endanger their own lives on the way. Romeo a Montague and Juliet a Capulet, were ...
