Thriller & Mystery

One for the guys!

Advantages: Brilliant fight sequences
Disadvantages: A good but occasionally weak storyline which can rely on the action a bit too much

The Transporter is the first in the trilogy of brilliant action movies starring Jason Statham, The Transporter is followed Transporter 2 (2005 ) & the aptly named Transporter 3 (2008) which I am yet to see. However I?m here to talk about the film that started it all, The Transporter was released 2nd October 2002 & was greeted with a mixed reception from the critics, the film had an average of a 53% rating which means just over half of the critics ...
...Despite it?s average reception the film did quite well at the box office, grossing an estimated $43,928,932 on a budget of $20,900,000. The Transporter is rated a 15 which is to be expected & it runs for approximately 94 minutes. The Transporter is directed by Louis Leterrier & Corey Yuen. Louis Leterrier is most famous for directing this film, the first sequel & Fearless, a martial arts film starring Jet Li & Morgan Freeman. Corey Yuen, the more ...

Miss Marple Box set (Joan Hickson)

Advantages: Has the best portrail of Miss Marple ever
Disadvantages: No special features

...Joan Hickson will always be the best 'Miss Marple'. Possibly as she was the first one I saw playing the part. I'm surprised that it took the BBC so long to releace them on DVD From the acting to the setting to the pacing... everything seems just right. Every part of Joan Hicksons performance (which earned her two BAFTA nominations) was perfect. She plays Miss Marple as the 'rather nosey busy body' who the criminal always seems to dismiss as past ...
...brain she can always solve the crimes faster than the inspector. Marple lives in her small village and knows everything that goes on there. Through this she knows the world. She is always saying 's/he reminded me of...' Unlike Poirot who always had a good relatioship with the Inspector, the relationship between Marple and the inspector in these storys is a little more strained. He thinks she's an interfering old busy body, which she is, but she always ...

I Want The Last Cheque I Write To Bounce

Advantages: A reasonable follow up to the orignal
Disadvantages: Script wasn't quite as good as it could have been

...off the job in Vegas Ocean's 11 vanished into retirement, all taking a separate direction and enjoying their money. The day they all dreaded has arrived as Vegas casino boss, Terry Benedict turns up demanding his money back with interest within 2 weeks. As they are now too hot to work in Vegas they head to Europe to try and get as much cash as they can, as quickly as they can. This leads them into a head to head competition with a European master ...
...fair to say that while Ocean's Twelve isn't as good as Ocean's Eleven or even Thirteen, it is still a good movie and provides just over 2 hours of entertainment that holds your attention as you try and keep track of what's already happened and what might be about to happen. As well as the return of the original cast, director Steven Soderbergh returns to keep the original team together. He is obviously a well established director and producer and ...
