... Opinion ********* I have to admit I am a fan of sports movies, especially ones which revolve around baseball, so when, in 1996, The Fan came out starring Hollywood legend Robert de Niro and Wesley Snipes I knew it was a film I would have to see.

Advantages: Decent Thriller
Disadvantages: Slight over acting

...longer see his young son, the only thing going for him is his love of baseball and in particular that of the giants and their new signing Bobby Rayburn. With nothing left to fill his life, his passion for baseball turns into an obsession, controlling his every move and thought, and when Rayburn is persecuted by the public and critics for having a bad season, Renard takes it upon himself to sort things out.

Having intervened in a fatal ...
...unhappy and his obsession with the Giants is turning into an obsession with Rayburn as he starts to stalk his every move, idolizing his new hero. But after an opportunity arises and he gets to chat to him, Renard realises that he is not the hero he thought he was and loses the plot as he decides to teach Rayburn a lesson.

I'm a big fan of THE FAN

Advantages: Well acted. Tense Drama
Disadvantages: Baseball setting might put some people off

...thinking whether I had watched the same movie, as I thought it was very well put together. The only negative thing I could say about the movie is that it is set against the world of baseball, which I know will not be everyones favourite setting for a film. However, I think that the baseball setting is irrelivant in one way,as it could just as well have been set in the world of any major sport. The high profile sports setting is necessary in that ...
...and a particular player. The film stars Robert De Niro as the Fan(Gil Renard) and Wesley Snipes as the baseball Player who is the baseball equivalent of a David Beckham or a Michael Owen. De Niro is a salesman whose life is quickly spiralling out of control. The only constant thing in his life is his love for the local big league baseball team.As events seem to conspire against him, De Niro becomes ever more obsessed with his team and their recent ...

Not a fan

Advantages: Helps you fall asleep
Disadvantages: Not an original or particulary good film

Right from the opening credits this film looks promising: a scrapbook of film clippings flicker beneath the atonal recitation of a poem about baseball. The effect is truly eerie. After that, there's not an original moment in this film. Based on Peter Abrahams' book, The Fan chronicles the mental breakdown of a blue-collar chump obsessed with a baseball star. In this particular spin on the psycho fan theme, Robert DeNiro plays Gil Renard, a washed-up ...
...is baseball. His team is the Giants and his hero is Bobby Rayburn, a hotshot hitter played by Wesley Snipes. Incidentally, Rayburn is given a son by the script, perhaps so we can draw parallels to Gil, but more likely so that there's somebody to kidnap later on. Gil gets fired for being a "perfectionist" rather than a businessman, and DeNiro goes goofy. At about this point, The Fan sprawls completely out of control, grabbing from pretty much every ...

DISAPPOINTING MOVIE

Advantages: NONE
Disadvantages: First crappy movie for these two

...he has a friendship with the famous ball player and feels that he is ignoring him, so he sets out to damage him, his family and his reputation as one of the most sought after baseball players in America. In the end, Gil plants a bomb somewhere in the baseball arena and time is running out to find it. Tommy Lee Jones and Wesley Snipes are great actors, and this movie is somewhat disappointing, for them as well as their ‘fans’. It’s ...

Disadvantages: DeNiro's performance and everything else is awful

Review of Robot Chicken - Star Wars Episode 2 (DVD)

To boldly go at Warp Speed!!!

Advantages: The episodes relatie to a single subject - time travel
Disadvantages: A bit heavy on the Next Generation stories

is Yesterday shows what could be done in 1960's TV. The stories are simpler and there is a lot more acting, less action than in later episodes on the DVD's. The next TOS episode The City on the Edge of Forever is undoubtedly one of Trek fans favourites, mainly due to the fact the problems caused and what Kirk has to overcome with the death of Edith Keeler, played by a very young Joan Collins. I find it truly amazing with what she has been in over the years. The Next Gen episodes show's how far Trek had come in the late 80's/ early 90's with a new crew and new stories and of course, better special effects. Cause and Effect being my personal favourite as the crew start to realise they are caught in a temporal loop by predicting the order of a pack of playing cards with a serious case of deja vu. There are two good two part stories as well ...

Review of Star Trek - Time Travel - Fan Collective (DVD)

Excellent DVD for a cricket fan

Advantages: Lots of footage, Features some amazing shots bowls and catches
Disadvantages: A lot of black and white footage

failing to reach an average of 100 after being bowled for a duck in his last test, made me feel extremely sympathetic for such a talented cricketer and an ambassador to the sport. It was wonderful to see how friendly some opponents were to each other both on and off the field. As an England fan, some of the ashes footage was painful to watch however, seeing Mike Gatting captaining that ashes side of '81 really brought a smaile to my face. I was astounded at the ability of players who were playing before I was born and how I wished that I could have watched them play live. My personal opinion of this DVD is that it is a must have for cricket fans of all ages. I feel that no other cricketing DVD compiles such a wide variaty of footage into one DVD. I fully recommend purchasing this item for yourself or any cricket fan you know. I am sure ...
