Tears For Fears - Tears Roll Down (Greatest Hits 82-92)

Advantages: can help you pass 2 hours if you're bored
Disadvantages: Done soooo many times

...from tree & sound of gunshot It started off with realistic(if not real?) footage and I thought it may be a decent if oft played story but tailed off very quickly.The Countess refused to watch this film as she is sensative to any sort of violence in films(mild peril being ok eg rugrats the movie) but there wansnt anything too graphic in this one. There was some amazing scenery in the film but finding out it was Hawaii and not Nigeria kind of spoiled this - If I wanted to watch a nature program I would..........etc The soundtrack was quite haunting though & I did find myself a little bit on the edge of my seat during some of the more tense moments but that could just be down to the mood I was in tonight.

Disadvantages: Upsetting

...I’d never go into the video store and pick out a war film but Craig would, I usually moan at him and then give in and mostly I always end up enjoying it and Tears of The Sun is certainly no different. Tears of The Sun is brought to us by Director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, The Replacement Killers), I don’t really feel able to comment on his talents at this stage but I did find Training Day to be rather graphic and probably wouldn’t watch it again and as for The Replacement Killers, I’m sorry to say I’ve never seen it. The only big named star that appears in the film is Bruce Willis, and I do normally happen to be a fan of his but I have to admit to being rather dubious about seeing him play a part in a war movie but he certainly lived up to the part and very well at that, he played a magnificent...
