Advantages: Provides a comparison with his better movies. Disadvantages: Plenty.

If Steven Seagal really was under pressure from the Mob to make this and all the other later disastrous films in his career, I suppose he can't be blamed for putting on the pounds and taking on a 'who cares?' attitude. His earlier films have the stamp of well-choregraphed high action, realistic and slickly done. The plots might be pretty predictable, but if you were looking for a good testosterone charged action thriller, Steven Seagal could deliver. There was frequently an ecological message being delivered about how man is ruining the planet, so a spiritual message was often contained in a Seagal film, which was good if subtly given, but a little preachy if not. The main issue here is that Seagal's first movies were some of the best action productions with a spiritual message tagged on somewhere, whereas most of his latest ones have all been crap. His heart just doesn't seem to be in it any more and it shows. His Buddhist master may have advised him not to make any more violent movies, but it should have been advice not to make any completely crap ones. I'd personally like to see him do one more really good one, even if his role (given that he's older) was adapted accordingly, maybe something along the line of Charles Bronson in The Mechanic as the hitman mentor of Jan Michael Vincent.
Advantages: Interesting antertaining from start to end Disadvantages: may be too violent for some (but still worth it)
This DVD is worth it as it is an amazing film for a few reasons. 1. it shows how insane some governments can be, going so far as to force students to kill each other in fear of them rebelling. 2. It is surprisingly funny to watch people reluctantly kill each other (i dont know why, but it just is). 3. it is interesting (and slightly disturbing) to find out how many different ways there are to kill someone.
Kinji Fukasaku has created a masterpiece and i strongly recommend this DVD to any potential buyer. While watching, i was engrossed in the story, the characters and the crazy and violent aspects of it. It is also a film that can be watched over and over again as it never gets tiring. ...
Advantages: Good humorous movie with a silly creature Disadvantages: a bit sloppy on the special effects
studying mild earthquakes in and around the town and the surrounding desert.
When Val and Earl decide to leave the town in search of pastures new they find more than they bargained for whilst passing through the desert.
They begin to stumble across a few dead bodies, men and beast, and soon realise that there is something in the desert that is out to kill the people of the small town.
**IN CONCLUSION**
When I looked at the DVD casing for this one I thought I was in for a gripping horror, with the razor toothed beast emerging from the bottom of the case, pluoghing upwards to devour everything and anything in its way?almost like the cover from the Jaws movie?
Then when I put the DVD into the tray I didn't quite get what I was expecting.
The movie begins well, starting in the arid small town, introducing the two unsuspecting ...

Advantages: Good songs Disadvantages: Lack of colour
About the band
Motorhead are a legendary British Heavy Metal band. Formed in 1975, they have gained popularity with such classic albums as overkill and Ace of spades. Their songs cover lots of subjects and many are about life on the road. They remain as a trio and still regularly tour unlike many bands of their status.
About the DVD
Everything louder than everything else was recorded live in Munich at the Deutsches museum. It has twelve tracks including ace of spades and killed by death. Another important fact to point out is that the DVD is mainly in black and white and however hard i can try i can't think of a good reason for them to do this. It has interview bits which are humourous and, as always, entertaining. It has been edited a fair bit also but if you look at it overall, it is a fair DVD for the price you can ...

Archaeologist Robert Burns (Steven Seagal) has unearthed some priceless artifacts in eastern China. When he discovers that the Chinese mafia--the Tong--are using them as containers to smuggle drugs overseas, Burns is marked for death. The Tong frame him for the murder of his assistant and he is thrown in a Chinese prison--but when he is released and used as bait in a joint effort by the Chinese and American governments to attract the Tong, Burns has his chance at vengeance.
