The Long Good Friday
Advantages: Bob Hoskins
Disadvantages: Story
Prior to watching The Long Good Friday, I thought people were actually taking the piss when they said Bob Hoskins played a gangster in one of the most respectable British crime films ever made. "Not Bob Hoskins who played the overweight plumber Mario in the Super Mario Bros. movie?" I said. Apparently so. Urgh. Surprisingly, the once fat, balding, video game protagonist is really quite impressive in his earlier work here. He plays Harold Shand, a ...
...go straight in the late-1970s by redeveloping the old docklands property as a venue for the 1988 Olympic Games. He's an aggressive character, but looks after his crew; his speeches about the country's membership of the European Union are fuelled with intelligence and British pride; he is well groomed and has a beautiful wife that the whole world should respect him. His screen presence is worth the DVD price alone. What a shame that other than Hoskins, ...

Basic Instinct rip-off
Advantages: If you enjoy courtroom dramas
Disadvantages: Acting, cardboard characters, dull.
...because I'm cruel like that. Body of Evidence isn't as bad as Swept Away, but then again it isn't much better, with the acting and direction mediocre at best. This film caused a high amount of controversy when it was released in 1993; not just because we see Madonna rolling around naked for a lot of it, but because of a certain scene involving hot candle wax. This film tries to imitate the much more successful and well known 'Basic Instinct' but ...
...throughout this review if you're looking for a bit of cheap mindless entertainment then this is it, although it will probably leave you laughing more then anything. In my opinion Basic Instinct is the best of these types of films, with Body of Evidence an inferior and badly acted copycat. ...

I'm Mad For This Film
Advantages: Fine Story and Acting
Disadvantages: A Bit Far Fetched
...Shaw, single handedly takes on the enemy and saves most of them. Shaw's father was a failed politician.
Shaw is a candidate for Vice President and has been helped a lot by the Medal of Honour that he received for his courage in the war. He is being pushed very hard by his mother (Meryl Streep) who is very ruthless. He often resents her interference in his life and seems to have more morals.
Things get complicated when it turns out the surviving ...
...Jonathan Demme (of Silence of the Lambs fame) and Screenplay Co-Writer Daniel Pyne.
There is also a featurette that features Tina Sinatra (yes Frank's daughter, she is one of the producers), Jonathan Demme, Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep amongst others. It compares some scenes from the original movie. They even suggest that link between large corporations and politicians today. It is quite interesting. It runs for 14 minutes.
The last special ...

Spying's Not All Fun & Games
Advantages: Thought Provoking
Disadvantages: Slow Paced
...Fun & Games
The CIA has always been a very dark and shadowy place where secrets and lies rule to roost. This has given the agency a controversial yet fascinating view in the public eye. By it's very nature facts are a long time to come to the public's attention, if they ever are at all.
This film attempts to show this world. If there's one thing this film shows is that being a spy is a lonely profession, even your friends ...
...Matt Damon plays Edward Wilson, the central character. He is taken into a secret society at University and baptised into a life of spying. He is a man dedicated to his job. Unfortunately this is to the cost of his wife and son.
The film is slow paced and has been criticised by many for this, this is where it's perhaps better to have seen this on DVD first. I however did not expect it to be a roller coaster ride full of excitement. I did wish that ...
