Slick and sick
Review of Dobermann (Subtitled) (Wide Screen) by Neill

Advantages: Exciting, tense and looks fantastic
Disadvantages: As nasty as it wants to be

Dobermann shows Vincent Cassell further demonstrating the extent of his talents, in this fantastically well shot piece of action. While the film is unlike the constant excitement of, say, Hard Boiled, it does champion a violence more sinister, and more severe. The beautiful colours and filming techniques marry up with this violence, but rather than glorify it, make it seem all the more grotesque. Dobermann blurs the distinctions between good and ...
...police force similarly detestable. Despite pre-dating The Matrix by a year or two, it is every bit as exciting, but more recklessly packaged, and far more prepared to break with cinematic convention, and extend the boundaries of what the viewer still finds acceptable. This film is ideal for the action lover who doesn't mind subtitles, (or speaks fluent French). It is not one for the nervous or squeamish, or any one who doesn't like bangs. ... Read review

You need to buy this boxset.
Review of Pulp Fiction - Special Edition / Jackie Brown - Special Edition / Reservoir Dogs - Special Edition (Tarantino Collection) by slade1975

Advantages: Too many to mention.
Disadvantages: Pity there isn't more.

...one boxset. Let's start with Pulp Fiction, what can I say that hasn't been said already. This movie is a must see for all Tarantino fans. It starts with lightning pace and just keeps on going. The plot is intricately woven giving the audience dashes of dark humour, explosive action and senceless violence. The characters are colourful and exciting and it's the best sountrack to a movie I have heard in a long time. This is a must see movie. Jackie ...
...here, but it is still enjoyable to watch, it follows an airhostess who is caught in the middle of a war between two-bit criminals and the police. It has a soul soundtrack that oozes funk and with clever dialogue and a tight woven plot its an enjoyable film to watch. Now on to Reservoir Dogs, this has got to be my favourite of the bunch. The basic plot follows a gang of thieves that are known to each other only as colours. The plot grabs you by the ... Read review

Return of the Dark Knight
Review of Batman (Movie Box Set) by mattb1983

Advantages: Tim Burton, Michael Keaton
Disadvantages: Batman and Robin, George Clooney, Nipples on the suit!

...set contains the first 4 Batman films, and the great thing about this box set is that it is cheaper than buying the films individually, and it chronicles the change in the Batman genre, from dark and moody (Burton), to more slapstick and comic-book like (Schumacher). And so we begin with Batman (1989). This is not an origin story, like Batman Begins, instead, the film picks up with Batman already well established as a masked vigilante, putting the ...
...a bell tower showdown. Batman is a very dark affair, but watching it, even now, it's not difficult to see why this film became (at the time) one of the top 10 highest grossing films ever. Burton paints a dark, decrepit, devastating Gotham City, whilst Michael Keaton was born to play the dark knight. Jack Nicholson, as usual, steals the film with one of the great super-villain displays, as the demented Joker. Next to Batman Returns, which sees the ... Read review

Batman Forever
Review of Batman Forever (Special Edition) by IanM73

Advantages: Some more good characters brought to life
Disadvantages: not as good as the first two

BATMAN FOREVER This film was a new side to the Batman franchise with new director Joel Schumacher trying to make the film more like the Batman and Robin comic strip and not as dark as the first two were. Michael Keaton did not return to the role of Batman and this was taken over by Val Kilmer who was always the choice if Michael did not take the part again. As Joel wanted a fresh look he wanted to introduce Robin in the film and chose actor Chris ...

Two faces helicopter smashes and then carries the vault outside where two face shouts out that inside is boiling acid that he is going to kill Batman with and shower ... Read review
