Advantages: Decent storyline Disadvantages: Very dull, drags on alot, too long
Cal had first thought.
After being called one of the best thrillers of the year I had been really looking forward to watching State Of Play and after it finally began showing on Sky Box Office on Monday I jumped at the chance to view what everybody else had been writing rave reviews about.
State Of Play starts off at a quick pace with a double murder happening in the first five minutes however from there on things start to go downhill. The film becomes very slow and bogged down, it seems that the director has chosen an overcomplicated plot to market this film as a tense, clever suspense thriller which this film most certainly is not. Having said that, this film isn?t too difficult to follow it was simply the fact that I found it so dull I quickly lost interest and therefore the plotline became slightly lost on me. I had such high ...
Advantages: good cast, good soundtrack. Disadvantages: none
when i watched the 51st state i was not sure what to expect, but as it turned out the 51st state was a really enjoyable movie.
set in liverpool for the mostpart, the film has an excellent story good characters and some really funny moments, as for the dvd it has plenty of special features as you would expect, from the making of the movie to cast interviews and even a photo gallery.
i liked the music in the film the music is well suited to my taste, ther was not many special effects but i think it is great when you don't need lots of special effects to make a really good film and that is one of the reasons i liked the 51st state.
in my opnion the 51st state is worth a look. ...
Advantages: 5 for £10.00 deal for 4 nights at blockbusters... so i didn't feel too ripped off Disadvantages: dull, boring, tedious, un-thrilling (if that's a word), and drawn out.
I have been watching a few DVDs recently, mainly because blockbusters are having a bit of a good deal on at the moment, although not as good as the deal they had on over the school summer holidays.
Anyway, one of the ones I rented was called ?State of Play? starring a few well known faces, and coming highly recommended by the short bald guy behind the counter, plus the outstanding claims on the DVD box itself?
?Unmissable? stated the Daily Mirror?
?Scorching? claim the Daily Mail?
?An outstanding thriller? shouted the Telegraph?
?Electrifying? gasped James King of Radio 1 (who?)
So, with all this good press, and the recommendation from the guy behind the counter at blockbusters, I thought that this political thriller of a movie should enter my choice of 5 for a tenner for four night offer.
So the other night I ...
Includes the Katherine Hepburn films STATE OF THE UNION and ROOSTER COGBURN. STATE OF THE UNION is based on a Pulitzer Prize winning play by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. This well cast film is enhanced by Spencer Tracy's portrayal of an idealistic industrialist who runs for the presidency. ROOSTER COGBURN seesJohn Wayne reprises his role as the titular charcter, the eye-patched, whiskey-guzzling deputy marshall from TRUE GRIT. While on the trail of a gang of outlaws led by his old partner Hawk, Rooster teams up with bible-thumping missionary Eula Goodnight (Katherine Hepburn) to avenge the murder of her father by the gang. The chemistry between Wayne and Hepburn is palpable as barbs fly between the grumpy gunman and feisty missionary.
