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 ...

Review of The Manchurian Candidate (DVD)

In The Face of the Ultimate Nuclear Showdown...

Advantages: Superb performances, memorable dialogue, calm direction
Disadvantages: Those stupid sonar systems!

*************************************************************************** * TITLE: Crimson Tide (Extended Cut) RATING: ****½ CAST: Denzel Washington, Gene Hackman, Matt Craven, George Dzundza, Viggo Mortenson, James Gandofinni, Rocky Carroll, Jaime P. Gomez, Danny Nucci, Rick Schroder, Steve Zahn, Ryan Phillippe, Lillo Brancato, Daniel Von Bargen, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Jason Robards.

...of the best, however, is CRIMSON TIDE, the underwater rouser from producers Don Simpson & Jerry Bruckheimer, and director Tony Scott. All of them had brought us the immensely popular TOP GUN, though CRIM SON TIDE makes the former look like a wuss by comparison. Both of them have macho characters in a military setting, though CRIMSON TIDE doesn't get bogged down in heavy-handed romance and egotistic nonsense. The last thing that CRIMSON TIDE needs ...

Review of Crimson Tide (Extended Cut) (DVD)

The Pelican Brief

Advantages: see op
Disadvantages: see op

...Pelican Brief ‘is based on the book by John Grisham. It is a really well made film, which builds up tension so well and has you at the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next. Julia Roberts plays a smart-arse law student Darby Shaw. She is in a relationship with her tutor Thomas Callahan. In the news they hear about two Supremes being killed. Darby decides to write a brief about who the suspects of the murders could be. She ...
...shows to a friend in the FBI (just as a laugh!). However Thomas is killed by a car bomb and Darby soon realises it was meant to kill her. This of course means her theory must be right and have some weight for such an extreme action to be taken. She turns to reporter, Gray Grantham (Denzyl Washington) for help. I won’t give away the rest of what happens as it will spoil the film for people who haven’t seen it. The film is a good and ...

Review of The Pelican Brief (DVD)

Out of Lime (see what I done there)

Advantages: Eva Mendes, some nice action sequences, suspense
Disadvantages: Slight tedium, I got sick of watching it after awhile

...his scent. Things don't turn out to be as simple as that (if you can call that simple) Denzel starts to believe of that there's some sort of espionage going on and all was not what it seems with the bit on the side what ever her name was. This was a medicore film, I did quite like teh story and I admit some moments were intense but it didn't really grip too much. Denzel Washington is a good actor and he played the part very well. Eva Mendes was enjoyable ...
...also Denzel's humourus accomplice whose in on the whole thing. He added some much needed comic relief I believe. The guy from the New Adventures of Superman was also in it so any fans of his should take note (if he has any fans). A spin off with just Eva Mendes and that mortuary/coroner funny guy would be great. And also slight plot spoiler but Eva Mendes and Denzel's characters happen to get back together at the end of the film with no more actual ...
