Rex Hunt - England (DVD)

The Hunted

Advantages: Tommy Lee Jones
Disadvantages: Weak Plot

I like Tommy Lee Jones, I always find his wholehearted grizzled performances quite refreshing amongst all the shiny Hollywood glamour we're sometimes served up without end, that said I don't think even his most ardent fans could call "Hunted" anything but more than average. Jones plays L.T. Bonham a military forces contractor who trains Special Forces in areas of survival training, tracking and hunting. One of his students, Aaron Hallam, who apart from having excelled at everything Bonham has taught him, has now gone slightly off the rails having been subjected to horrific events whilst serving his country in the Balkans conflict.

The FBI agents tracking Hallam down decide to recruit Bonham and put ...

The Expérience Cinématique that is Le Grand Rex

Advantages: Good atmosphere, la Grande Salle,
Disadvantages: Expensive, small screens

Going to the cinema during your visit to Paris might not top of your list of things to do, but Le Grand Rex is certainly not your everyday cinema. Histoire Le Grand Rex was opened in 1932 and is the oldest cinema in Paris. It has a long and interesting history, from its opening night on the 8th of December 1932, attended by a ritzy, glitzy list of 3,300 VIPs, to its occupation by the German soliders, who used it as a place to watch propaganda films. The building is decorated in a typical art deco style, whilst the inside, particularly the 'Grande Salle' - the biggest room, which also boasts the biggest screen in Europe - is a mixture of art deco and baroque style. Le Grand Rex is also home to a night club - Rex Club - which is attached to the building and is right next door. However, in the many times I've visited, this has ...

Review of Le Grand Rex

Hunting for Someone Who is Hunting for Us

Advantages: cool special force actions, awesome knife battle
Disadvantages: unclear plot, puzzling questions, some unrealistic scenes

Oh, another military based movie. I was going to a store, looking for a new good movie. My types are like Behind Enemy Lines, Black Hawk Down, Saving Private Ryan, or Spirit: Stallion of Cimarron. It entered my sight then, The Hunted. I've never heard of it. However, my instinct said that it was a good movie. Yet, I didn't buy it. I didn't want to spend my money for something that I haven't knew. Months later, my sister said that she knew it and it was good. I rushed and bought it. Aaron Hallam (Benicio del Toro) was a special force unit. He was an expert assassin. After assigned in Kosovo, he was sent to other "sensitive" operations. He witnessed many slaughters in the battlefields. Since then, stress because of war has changed his personality. He ran from the service. One day, he brutally slew four deer hunters in deep forest ...
