Amazing Sequel!
Review of Terminator 2 - Judgment Day DVD by JeffSumm

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...It is very seldom that a sequel is equal to, much less better than, the original movie. The second Terminator movie is defintaely better than the original. Arnold Schwartzinagger (or however you spell it!!) has a running policy of never making sequels, but he made an exception here after seeing the script. The machines try again to stop the humans by sending an advanced terminator back to kill John Conner, but the humans again are able to send their own unit back, this time a reprogrammed terminator, to stop the machines' plans. Arnie plays a great hero and this movie comes out as one of the best in the genre ever produced.... Read review

The Longest Yard/ Mean Machine
Review of The Longest Yard DVD by lil-t

Advantages: quite funny at some points
Disadvantages: similar to another film

...I watched Adam Sandler's The longest yard with my partner and we both thought it was quite funny. The story goes that ex American football player Paul Crewe is sent to jail for driving offenses whilst there he sets up a footy team that takes on the guards. The guards try to dampen there spirits but when there coach is killed by a bomb that is set up in paul crewe's cell by another inmate who is spying on the Mean Machines ( the team name) they are determined to win. On match day the inmates are beating the guards by half time so the warden blackmails crewe to throw the game or he will set him up for the coach's murder. He starts to throw the game but changes his mind and the inmates go on to win. Now like i said i thought the film was funny, but those of yous that have seen a film called Mean Machine with Vinny Jones in will see... Read review

Preditor its a must for all action seekers
Review of Predator DVD by robvandam

Advantages: there are good special effects and alot of good fight scenes
Disadvantages: there needs to be more of a mix of backgrounds after a while the jungle gets a little boring. The storline could need a bit of improving.

...If you are looking for a action packed film with lots of gory scenes then this is certainly the film for you!Arnold swartzschineger(as usual) plays the big chunky action filled packed killing machine in this brilliant film Predator. Arnold is not the only giant killer in this film he is followed by his war budy's in this action adventure sci-fi spectacular. It really is a fast,thrilling,exiting and creepy film with lots of gory blood and guts. Join Arny and take a trip through the jungle on a quest to seek and destroy the gorillers that have devouwed his fellow troopers. Just to find that the film takes an unexpected turn to not a human killing machine but an alien kiling machine. There is alot of blood and guts and gory death scenes. Great graphics and special effects. There are also alot of good memorable lines like "i aint got time... Read review
