Advantages: Good action and suped-up motors Disadvantages: Far too predictable
into his family and driving crew, his presence still causes friction with the other drivers, in particular with hard nosed Vince, especially once his friendship with Mia flourishes into a relationship.
Whilst working for Dominic, he carries on his mission as he goes about attempting to find the identity of the team of lorry hijackers. But as his friendship with Dominic and Mia grows, he starts too become enraptured by the street racer life style and looses sight on what his job really is. With all his investigations leading him back to his new found friends, he has to deal with his emotions and morals as to whether he should do his job or protect his new friends.
The Fast and the Furious, or as it should have been known "Boy Racer's Wet Dream", is in all honesty, little more than an excuse for showing off some very suped-up motors ...
Advantages: A great film for the kids! Disadvantages: Don't watch if you don't like kids films, or bright colours, or over exaggerated stories!
I am very surpirsed at the 2 star rating this film has as I found it quite good!
The film is a PG and so aimed at kids really, but I love Kids films and I love cars...so meh I thought I'd give it a go!
The film is taken from the comic series Speed Racer, and so is in the form of goodies vs baddies, with the villains taking form in the Royalson company.
The goodies in the form of the Racer family. The film starts with Rex racer, a racing driver, and his young brother Speed, Speed is obsessed with racing and follows his brother religiously, not caring about his school work and only bothering about racing!
When Rex is killed in a race, it tears the Racer family apart. But 8 years on, Speed is the one in the driving seat. As he is up and coming, he is constantly hassled by big corporate companies wanting to be in charge ...
Advantages: unique style, great story, great acting, love it Disadvantages: very sad
The name 'Requiem for a Dream' inspires, in me at least, visions of a Shakespearian period drama.
This definitely is not what Requiem for a Dream is.
Instead, it is a film very much about the pursuit of dreams, and the addictions that occur as a result.
Adapted from Hubert Selby's 1978 novel of the same name, Requiem.. follows four characters in their journey from Summer, through Autumn, and finally to Winter.
As is almost inevitable, given the darkening of the days as the year edges towards winter, these characters have troubled times ahead. The word 'requiem' itself, as I'm sure you're aware, is the name given to hymns of mourning, and so the title 'Requiem for a Dream' hints at the demise of optimism.
The film begins by introducing us to two of the main characters, Sara and Harry Goldfarb (played by Ellen Burstyn ...
