Advantages: The scenery and the Victorian London
Disadvantages: Heather Grahams big eyes

From Hell is a 2001 film directed by The Hughes Brothers. Based on a similarly named graphic novel it is about the Jack the Ripper story from the point of view of the investigating detective Abberline played by Johnny Depp. The film starts in the seedy White Chapel area of London (I don't know much about London but I do know Whitechapel was one of the crappy brown properties in monopoly.) A small group of prostitute friends meeting with an old friend ...
...playing another policeman. A girl from the group of friends has been brutally murdered. Abberline usually has visions about such occurrences but he says to have not seen this one but another. One by one the girls are picked off. A man in a fine coach always approaches them and lures them in with grapes. Then leaves them horribly mutilated and lacking certain organs. Abberline along the way enlists the help of the royal physician played by Ian Holm ... Read review

Advantages: Dakota Fanning's performance
Disadvantages: Not as scary or fast paced as I'd have liked

Hide and Seek follows David and Emily Callaway (Robert De Niro and Dakota Fanning) as a father and daughter struggling to come to terms with the sudden gruesome suicide of Alison, David's wife and Emily's mother. De Niro gives an even and understated performance as a psychologist who decides to move to a secluded house in the middle of the woods in an attempt to help Emily recover from her deep emotional scars. However, things go downhill when Emily ...
...Emily's friend really is. Hide and seek may take a while to build momentum compared to your average thriller, but I found it an intriguing and chilling film with an inspired plot twist and a tense climax. As for the performances, Robert De Niro can seem to be coasting for much of the film, but his performance fitted well with the plot twists at the end. Dakota Fanning is the real star of the film however, and she is what singularly made it really ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant plot, excellent picture quality, solid audio, good special features.
Disadvantages: Can become repetitive.

...challenges my intellect, so when Vantage Point arrived on the scene and was supposedly "a slick, explosive thriller that builds to an exciting climax" (according to Heat magazine) I was more than intrigued. The all star cast only added to my interest in the film, with Matthew Fox (Lost), Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland) and Sigourney Weaver all making an appearance. Did Vantage Point live up to my expectations and prove to be a captivating ...
...had never been attempted before. Vantage Point begins by showing the President getting shot whilst making a speech in Spain, and then replays the event through 8 different people's perspectives; without ever actually showing you what the person really saw. The cliff hanger ending of every characters scene keeps you guessing what happened and will constantly have your theory on the event changing. Each character differs immensely from the next and ...

Advantages: Authentic 70s style, fun heist
Disadvantages: Additional story lines for no apparent reason

...films, spying and heists and the like -this film definitely appealed. I thoroughly enjoyed both Snatch and Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrells and was interested to see how the work of Guy Ritchie's side-kick Roger Donaldson worked out. The storyline which involved photos of important people, including a royal family member and an important judge in compromising nuddy positions with sordid sorts was always going to be quite exciting. To remove these ...
...cockneys (3 if you include the lookout) led by the ape like Jason Statham. It sounds like fun already does it not! The heist is realistic and comes alive on the screen, despite Statham's distinct stiffness and chimp like features he pulls the part off well, even if t does feel a bit like one stage up from Phil Mitchell. The manipulating posh bird played bv Saffron Burrows returns from Morocco and is caught with drugs at customs and a friend in British ... Read review
