Artificiality

Advantages: Good graphics, very involving
Disadvantages: Disturbing, far too long

This film was shown on television a while ago, and although I had heard the name of the film several times, I really had no idea what it was actually about. I was certainly expecting some sort of robot film, but from there my ideas of what the film was about turned out to be dreadfully wrong. There was barely anything on television so after flicking through several channels I spotted this movie and thought 'ah, a movie,' then settled on it with a ...
...much, although to be honest they are not usually my type of film, so my expectations were not that high. Future The film is set in the future, at a time where our current fears of global warming melting ice at the poles and drowning the land have become a reality. This has not stopped the human race and the good old fashioned cuddly toy we know of now is not a thing of the past, but a thing transformed. In fact, this film does feature robots, in ...

THE COLOUR PURPLE

Advantages: a great film
Disadvantages: lots of tears

...it is about it, probebly the thought of what the main charater is going through, but thats how life really was for some people back then. One of the big things that draw me to this film is my love of Whoopie Goldburg. I can not think of one film that she has done that does'nt appeal to me. I am sure other people could name a few but i always will like her work. This particular film though has it all, great cast, great director and on top of that ...
...sit through, the trials and tribulations of 14-year-old Celie (Whoopie Goldberg) If i was in 14 year old Celies place im not so sure if i could have coped with what she had to put up with. The 14 year old child had a baby by her violent father, as soon as the baby was born he took the baby from her gving it away to god knows who. How could any child deal with that, not once but twice. The only family that love this poor gilr is her little sister ...

Review of The Color Purple (DVD)

A revenge mission

Advantages: Brilliant cast and story
Disadvantages: none

...high quality. The 2005 film, Munich is no different. Munich tells the story of the Israeli government retaliation for the assassination of eleven Israeli athletes by the Palestinian terrorist group known as Black September, at the Munich Olympics in 1972. Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir recruits a group of Mossad agents led by Avner (Eric Bana) with a mission to locate and kill those men responsible for the assassination. Avner is joined by four ...
...the actual events of the Munich assassinations. However the retaliation aspect of the film is more fictional. The cast are excellent, especially, Eric Bana who excels in the lead role as Avner. It is a well written story with some great characters that explores a country’s desire for revenge. It is worth noting that this has some violent and graphic scenes that not everyone will appreciate. I thought that it was refreshing to see Daniel Craig in ...

Review of Munich (DVD)

A very poor film but with a very good sound track.

Advantages: A very good sound track composed by John Williams.
Disadvantages: Poor plot, acting and screenplay in my opinion.

This is quite a strange film in my opinion and at the end of it all if you are like me you will think that you've watched a real load of incredibly boring rubbish but that the sound track was very good and brilliant in places. Not surprisingly then the sound track is composed by John Williams. The story is about a middle class English schoolboy, Jamie, who is living with his parents in Shanghai during the Japanese invasion of China in the second ...
...boy gets separated from his parents and the bulk of the film is then about him living off of scraps on the streets and in prisoner camps and barracks. But for me the real narrative of the film heavily focuses on Jamie's obsession with various war planes that often fly over in the sky and his boyish fascination with them. There are one or two momentary highlights in the film but put against so many bad and uninteresting parts they do just do not make ...
