The English Guy is the Hero!!!

Advantages: Classic Action/Fantasy Flick
Disadvantages: Strangely Short via Obvious Edits

...twinge to his accent, plays the hero and saviour in this film! Even more surprising considering the film also stars Val Kilmer who's your typical American-Good Looking-Action Hero. Not in this film however, as he adopts the macabre and unstable character of Montgomery. Amongst quite a well known cast, including: Fairuza Balk and Ron Perlman as well as Temeura Morrison. (If you don't know these guys, you've certainly seen them - type them in on www.imdb.com ...
...varied stages of success, on the road to the "perfect" human. What is so special about Brando's performance, is that he adopts a classic British accent. (I say, old chap), and it's simply impeccable. You literally forget he's American, especially after early performances as Stanley Kowlaski in "A Streetcar Named Desire" in 1951, where he plays a lower-class New Yorker! You've all recently heard Johnny Depp's British accent, from the like of "Pirates ...

...I thought I would give Star Trek another review, so here goes. Please make yourself, comfortable, mobiles off and relax…. Star Trek III - The Search for Spock is one of those films that you see the characters in a different light. The film itself was released back in 1984. Leonard Nimoy who had been killed off at the end of the previous movie was hired to direct this one. This is what the 2 disc set contains…. Disc 1: Audio commentary by director ...

The Good and Bad of I Robot

Advantages: Entertains
Disadvantages: Does get abit boring in some places

What I personally enjoyed about I Robot is the opening seen of Will Smith in the shower, but I would. Throughout this film I thought that Will Smiths (Detective Del Spooner) performance was excellent, along with supporting actress Bridget Moynahan (Dr. Susan Calvin) just made the film. Both their performances complimented each other. The special effects all the way through this film are phenomenal, they are so realistic and very imaginative, companied ...
...just makes the film so individual and entertaning, it is a must see movie. The only problem that I found within all the special effects, characters and of course the classic sound track (with songs by people you will know who ever you are) is that its a film where you cannot watch it over and over again in a short period of time, you do have to leave it for a couple months before you can rewatch it and not get destracted by anything else. I would ...

Review of I, Robot / Minority Report / Independence Day (DVD)

You Look Like a Radioactive Tampon

Advantages: Great Direction and Acting
Disadvantages: Too Slow for some

Moon reminds me a lot of those big weighty Sci-fi films of the seventies where it was all about atmosphere, storyline and your imagination rather than riotous special effects and wise cracking aliens. This film is utterly beguiling, its tense but strangely relaxing, all of these is down to two men, the director Duncan Jones and the star Sam Rockwell. This is Jones' first feature film and its an incredibly impressive debut, he eschewed using his father ...
...it is a really fantastic film which is a credit to him. Starring Sam Rockwell as Sam, the only worker on an automated lunar mining complex. He has been working on his own for nearly three years and nearing the end of his term in space he feels lonely, isolated and confused....as anyone would, I imagine. With only a droid, Gerty (Voiced by Kevin Spacey) for company, Sam is alone and starts to feel a world apart from Earth, he feels he is alone but ...

Review of Moon (DVD)

Sometimes, Ignorance is bliss

Advantages: clever thriller, good story, well acted
Disadvantages: bit depressing?

Dont misunderstand my review title, this is a cracking film. You can nearly always say that about Nicolas Cage films, but this one really is! The premise is simple. There are many disasters happening on earth, for some reason, aliens decide to warn mankind about the upcoming disasters by "whispering" them to a little girl in the 1950's. Unfortuneately, that girl does nothing with the information other than write it down on a bit of paper and allow ...
...capsule. The capsule is dug up in the current day and discovered by Nicolas Cage's character. He soon discovers the code in the series of numbers written on the page and works out that the code tells of impending disasters, when they will happen, how many will die and the location. The story continues on along this path, with a worrying fortelling of the end of days. We don't know what will happen right until the end. I wont ruin it for you either, ...
