Review of Heat (DVD)

wonderland is a great film

Advantages: brutal film that keeps you watching
Disadvantages: just a bit too long

this is a very good film that the main character is a porn star that has slept with 14,00 women. it is a true story or sort of as the fim show as an introduction. So the film starts with him and his girl, who is besotted by him, getting a room. he then goes off and comes back very disterbed. what has happened. The film goes from earlier events and leads up to this and what he has done. There is alot of drug taking robbing and violence in this film. ...
...it draws the film away from looking like your average flick. A robbery is done on the big time dealer. Both the robbers and the robbed know this porn star, who blatlently gets stuck in the middle. The last section of this film was great and i dont want to ruin it. but let me just say the robbed gets there revenge. with a liitle help from the porn star! thanksw ...

Review of Wonderland (DVD)

who's the daddy

Advantages: David Mamet directs
Disadvantages: rushed ending

Another brilliant twisty double bluff what the hells going to happen next film from David Mamet. Val Kilmer is a special-ops agent called in to find the presidents kidnapped daughter (with a recent dye job) before the kidnappers realise who they have got.

...to a middle eastern slavery auction where she will be sold on to the highest bidder. Scott heads off after her but the body of a drowned girl turns up, is reported as being her and he is pulled off the case. So far scott has been doing as he is told, following orders & trusting his superiors but his partner has spotted something during an earlier line of investigation and when they go back to double check he is shot by shadowy figures on a fishing ...

Review of Spartan (DVD)

Two Acting Greats turn up the 'Heat'

Advantages: De Niro and Pacino together
Disadvantages: would have liked more focus on the main characters

...in mind I do think Heat is one of the best action crime dramas I have ever scene. I am never bored watching it, and have completely lost count how many times I have indeed watched it. I may have wanted more focus on the main characters, but Michael Mann's directing never the less was superb in this, making an audience glued for three hours is not an easy task, which in my views Mann successfully did with this film. Although Braveheart was the movie ...
...the shelf, I think Heat was the best movie of that year. -------------------------------------------- My Thoughts on the Characters -------------------------------------------- The roles of the characters were picked perfectly. I could never pick a favourite out of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, they both bring so many talents to any part they pick to play, but undoubtedly in this movie you could not imagine the characters the other way round. ...
