Advantages: Great acting, hilarious script
Disadvantages: Does jump around a bit so stick with it.

This film often gets passed by because of the title, I think everyone was like "hello" I know what this film is about, but trust me really you don't. From the second the credits roll you know this is going to be a slick movie, it combines a dark humour with the feel of a good old fashioned detective book. The basics of the story is that small time thief, Robert Downey Jr gets his partner shot, accidently lands an acting role in Hollywood whilst ...
...Eye Gay Perry played by Val Kilmer for detective lessons. Things go awry during the first lesson, a surveillance job, when a girl is murdered. Enter Harry's high school love, a range of badies and the body of the murdered girl appearing in Harry's shower, still dead and accidentally pee'd on by gobsmacked Harry.

I saw this film first whilst in college and frankly it's been a very tough time finding a better film since. The film is basically a tale of three youths from one of Paris' run down outskirt estates who find a policemans weapon and contemplate reaping revenge for their friend who was shot during a riot. The film protrays the main three characters very well and despite their being novices when the film was made the actors (Vincent Cassel, Hubert Kounde, ...
...the film is wonderful. The black and white works extremely well in augmenting the bleak and brutal world in which the protaganists live. The camerawork is fantastic as well with some remarkable shots and editing. On top of this the music in the film is very fitting and really helps the atmosphere of the film. With strong social and political messages in the film you would think it would be a tad peachy. However, the film is wonderfully balanced and ... Read review

...to play James Bond in Diamonds Are Forever - a film that would reunite him with Goldfinger director Guy Hamilton. What is the plot of Diamonds Are Forever you ask? The plot of Diamonds Are Forever is all over the place with one or two holes but essentially revolves around diamond smuggling. The British Secret Service notice that someone is building a vast collection of the world's diamonds and send James Bond to investigate why they keep disappearing. ...
...them need all of these diamonds anyway? Diamonds Are Forever has been described as the first Roger Moore James Bond film and I think there is some truth to this observation. Although Diamonds Are Forever is quite offbeat at times with a very atmospheric score by John Barry that is a major strength, it is also quite jovial in tone. There is a lot more humour in this one in contrast to previous entries. The previous film - On Her Majesty's Secret ... Read review

Achilles leads his brave ... Read review
