The Name Of A River (Subtitled)

Advantages: Gripping, edge of seat material
Disadvantages: subtitled, and offbeat humour and acting

.... The emotional scenes in the aftermath of the creatures carnage seem very far fetched though, but then I suppose that's down to some offbeat humour, and overacting as expected from korean flicks.

You get the same nail biting feel as you would watching a Jaws movie, but the offbeat acting and humour of a korean flick, which I can't name because their so offbeat that I can't even remember them. However, if you can see by the offbeat humour, you'll enjoy the action and suspense this flick has to offer! Two disc DVD contains the Feature & trailer on disc one, and the making of The Host on disc two. This includes: deleted scenes, designing the creature, film story boards, puppet animatronix...

Advantages: A thrilling sci-fi adventure

...Plot Joss Whedon shows us exactly why Firefly should not have been canceled in this outstanding film.

Advantages: An amazing film that should be owned by everyone
Disadvantages: None

...it, but it always has me tensed up when watching it! I also love the song 'Stand by me' from the movie, by Ben E.King, because although I'm a 'Rock n' Roll' chick at heart, this is one of my all-time favourite tracks. If you haven't already seen this film then I definitely recommend you watch it! A great film to have, that's not out of place in anyone's DVD collection. ~Extra Features~ * Feature length commentary by director Rob Reiner. * Featurette: 'Walking the tracks: The summer of Stand By Me'. * Filmographys. * Isolated score. * Music video - Ben E.King 'Stand by me'.
