Lara Kicks Ass!

Advantages: Excellent adventure yarn. Great stunts. Georgeous leading lady.
Disadvantages: Not a lot. (But you wouldn't think it reading the poor reviews!

...back in the early 1990’s, Lara Croft has been a firm favourite in the ‘mad cabbie’ household. Of course, they were ostensibly bought for the wee lass, (my now twelve-year-old daughter) but in truth, her old dad probably got as much pleasure out of them as she did. So it was hardly surprising that when the first Tomb Raider movie, starring Angelina Jolie, came out in 2001 that it was immediately purchased on video, (I didn’t ...
...went to see the new Lara Croft movie in its opening week. And we now eagerly await its release on DVD, most likely before Christmas. ~ ~ Are you beginning to get the general impression that I like Tomb Raider? Have I managed to adequately convey the huge amount of pleasure this fictional character has given to my young daughter over the years? And she is not alone!! Countless thousands of youngsters (and some not so young) have enjoyed the exploits ...

A history lesson in greek mythology

...on Sky this month is Lara Croft: The Cradle of Life and although I did watch this on DvD when it first came out I decided that I would like to watch it again. ~The Greek Myth behind Pandora‘s Box~ taken from http://atschool.eduweb.co.uk/carolrb/greek/greek1.html At one time the only mortals on earth were men and the god Prometheus had made them, Athene had breathed life into them but the chief god Zeus did not like them.

Everything lost is meant to be found.

Advantages: Good potential storyline
Disadvantages: Predictable and weak acting

...with another film review on Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. I shall of course start in the usual fashion when doing one of my film reviews with a couple of quotes from some critics: "After a while, you stop speculating how Croft will wriggle out of each fine mess and start checking your watch." Gene Seymour, NEWSDAY "When we're not offered dime-store CGI or cardboard Temple Settings, we're attacked by action sequences that waver between ...
...film included! Good for Lara Croft fans! This film also comes in VHS. Released by Paramount Pictures....(Not a bad effort I suppose guys!) A running time of 1 hour and 57 minutes....(how many bullets can you fire in that time Lara?) ***DVD SPECIAL FEATURES*** As I have the DVD I'll give you a list of the features on it. Commentary By Director Jan De Bont Deleted Scenes Alternate Scenes Featurettes Gerard Butlers Screen Test The Davey Brothers ...

Lara on the big screen ( Updated )

Advantages: action packed, amazing special effects
Disadvantages: Some may find it all too predictable.

...I was excited about seeing Lara Croft's character being transformed into a real life character on the big screen! Having thoroughly enjoyed Angelina Jolie's first big screen outing as Lara croft, I was eager to see if the sequel could live up to it! The critics gave it a very poor review but this didn't deter me from purchasing the DVD on the day of its release, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. Plot Lara Croft ( Angelina Jolie) returns in ...
...the world, stunning locations which Lara travels to in her search for the box, and bucket loads of stunt scenes and special effects to hook you in! What makes this better than the first film for me, is the fact that there is far more action to keep you entertained. The first film had a few full on action scenes, but kept focusing more on her emotional side with regards to her father dying when she was young. This time round although still focusing ...
