You're a big man, but you're out of shape

Advantages: Hard-hitting, brutal, frighteningly realistic
Disadvantages: Some idiot remade it

...salt, any question that doesn't get a suitable answer with just a question may well get a follow-up with a fist, a blunt instrument or, worse still, a gun.


The Cast
========

Has there ever been an actor who can command a cinema screen with the grace and power of Michael Caine? Of course there have, but it is a question I wanted to ask. From the moment the film starts rolling, Caine dominates each scene ...
...like to meet, let alone get on the wrong side of, finds the answers to the questions he seeks, to find out what exactly happened to his brother and, more importantly why.


The DVD
=======

I have the edition released by Warner Brothers under their 'Iconic Films' logo (see? Even Warner Brothers agree with me!). There are a number of extras on the disc.

Trailers - 3 to be precise

Stallone Is Back to his best

Advantages: the cast
Disadvantages: fans of the original might not appreciate it

...version of the classic movie Get Carter. For all you Stallone fans out there, you will love his new darker approach in this movie. Sporting an awful goatie, which doesn't quite suit him, he seems a lot more meaner, and proves he hasn't lost his intimidation skills. When Carter Finds out his brother has been murdered, he flies back too seattle to search for the killers, and stops at nothing to get the answers to the questions he wants. He doesn't ...
...own. The film will get you guessing who the real killer is all the way through the movie. I was impressed to see that Micheal Cain from the original film also stars in this movie, along with Mickey Rourke, who's youthful good looks has definately gone down the pan.. Carter also wants out of his life being a gangster, this being his final job, but it's not so easy to just leave when you work for a massive crime lord. He not only has to deal with ...

Get Carter (2000) Review

Advantages: Stallone
Disadvantages: Little Action

...threatens on numerous occasions in Get Carter to seriously kick some arse with all his tough talking and trademark snarl, but there's never really any follow through. Sure, he throws a few punches and fires a couple of shots (as a man in his business should); however, the film, on the whole, prefers to concentrate on Stallone being a good uncle, as if to say the character is really quite compassionate and sensitive beneath his chiselled surface. ...
...time. This, of course, is disappointing to all those are used to seeing Sly kick some serious arse. As far as movies go, Get Carter (2000) is instantly forgettable; and as far as remakes go, it all seems a bit pointless. I'd advise you to stick with the original. ...

Real Life and a Real Classic

Advantages: Full of drama - gripping all the way through
Disadvantages: nothing

missing. I would call this in the same league as remember the Titans - based around sport yet asks good questions about society as a whole. It is a great film, with an excellent soundtrack, great directing with some really good moments and speeches (especially from Samuel Jackson). Overall I do not see how this film does not contain anything that someone would find entertaining. This film definitely deserves the acknowledgement of everyone and it will, I am sure, be a classic in years to come. Also the ending not being a real typical hollywood ending is a nice touch to real life. 9/10 These are the special features that you get on the DVD: Coach Carter: The Man behind the Movie - this tells you the story of who the real Coach Carter is and gives you a much better idea of the situation in which the story is set. Good feature. Fast ...

Review of Coach Carter (DVD)

reports of a woman hearing celebrity voices

Advantages: modern film, classic cinematography
Disadvantages: not for all out action fans.

hearing celebrity voices". The casting is excellent, and many of the supporting cast shine. As well as Scorcese's cameo, look out for Janice from C4's 'Sopranos'. It probably didn't get the success it deserved, but I am sure that given time more people will become convinced that this could be a classic. Copyright M.Baker 2001 ps. I have just got 'Get Carter' on DVD, so expect an op on this classic soon. ...

Review of Bringing Out The Dead (DVD)

Hey Jude !

Advantages: Double the fun and entertainment
Disadvantages: Have you got a spare 200 + minutes?!

First things first, Michael Caine is a serious talent and I have enjoyed a great number of his films, and some of my most favourite owned DVD's star the man, such as Educating Rita, Get Carter, Zulu, The Italian Job, and The Ipcress file, to name but a few (might get around to reviewing some of them one day!). I always have faith that whatever role I see Michael Caine perform, he pulls it off (no pun intended, well maybe a little one ? a little pun that is!) one hundred percent. "Get your knee off the steering wheel!" ?. "I've told you before, careful where you put your legs!" What a couple of great opening lines to a film! Michael Caine is Alfie Elkins, a philosophical womaniser? CAST; Michael Caine ~ Alfie Elkins Shelley Winters ~ Ruby Millicent Martin ~ Siddie Julia Foster ~ Gilda Jane Asher ~ Annie Shirley Anne ...
