Another great Freeman Film
Review of Along Came A Spider (Wide Screen) by
Dand2202
Advantages: Keeps you guessing right to the end
Disadvantages: None
As thrillers go this is a good one. It starts off well and I for one didn't see the ending come at all!! I have watched it a few times since and after knowing what happens still don't know how you could figure it out first time round. Mr Freeman gives another top notch acting performance and the rest of the cast also do a very good job.
I quite like thrillers to be a bit scary this is intriging but not scary, thus I have only maked it 4 stars - ...

Blue or black?
Review of Devil In A Blue Dress (Wide Screen) by
sunmeilan
Advantages: Great noir detective fiction
Disadvantages: None for me
Ezekiel (Easy) Rawlins is down on his luck and worried about mortgage payments when he is offered a job as a private detective, investigating the disappearance of a white woman called Daphne. As Rawlins' employer, DeWitt Albright, believes that Daphne is hiding somewhere in Los Angeles' black district, Rawlins starts his investigation by speaking to some friends of his. One of them, Coretta, knows Daphne, and gives Rawlins some useful information, ... ...day, Rawlins is the number one suspect. Can Rawlins avoid being charged for a murder he didn't commit and find out what happened to Daphne? Or is he involved in a bigger intrigue than he realised? Made back in 1995, this film seems even older than that because it is set back in the 1940s and is based on hardboiled detective fiction a la Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and James M Cain. As a fan of this type of fiction, this film was always going ...

BLU-RAY REVIEW
Review of Vantage Point DVD by
Bax88
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 ...

Chimp in control!
Review of The Bank Job DVD by
dangaroo
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 ...
