Maximus the Gladiator
Review of Gladiator DVD by joking22

Advantages: Keeps your attention for the entire time
Disadvantages: Main character dies

The first time I saw Gladiator was on the big screen. Afterwards I bought the DVD as I enjoyed it so much. I love the history behind the film even though it may not be entirely accurate. It shows Russell Crowe at his best. It was and will always be an Oscar winning performance. Joaquin Phoenix is excellent in his role as the unlikeable Emperor. Ridley Scott did a good job directing this one. The bonus features show alot of the behind the scenes footage ... Read review

Non stop action from Nicholas Cage
Review of Con Air (Wide Screen) by chellbian

Advantages: action packed, good effects, star studded cast
Disadvantages: none

Con Air is one of those timeless action flicks that remains enjoyable no matter how many times you've watched it. Showing on station WGN this evening, I couldn't resist watching it for the seventh or eighth time since its release ten years ago. Starring Nicholas Cage in the lead role as Cameron Poe, Con Air tells the story of an ex-soldier (Cage), released from prison following an eight year sentence for involuntary manslaughter. When he began his ...
...on the Las Vegas Strip, Con Air has the necessary happy ending and tying up of loose ends- the bad guys getting their come-uppance, Larkin and Poe saving the day and Poe successfully returning to his beautiful wife (Monica Potter) and daughter. The film is directed by Simon West, who has, since Con Air's release, gone on to direct and produce films such as Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Black Hawk Down. The cast is star-studded and even if you don't ... Read review

A Great Movie A Must
Review of Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels DVD by will.atkins

Advantages: very funny
Disadvantages: nothing really

Lock Stock is got to be one of my favourite films off all time, it is so funny and such a good film I have seen it many times, and I will probably see it a few more times aswell. The film is about these group of mates in the criminal underworld, who need to make some cash quick to pay off a gambling debt. There are some great action scenes in this film, but the comedy of it is so funny it will have more a less every viewer in stitched unless they ...
...to steal the cash off these rival dealers, that live on the same estate well should I say next door to them. It is absoulete brilliant the cast is great and the most memorable actor in the film for me has got to be Vinnie Jones, who plays the ruthless debt collector. Then there's this huge black actor who I dont know the name off but he plays a character called Tyrone and he is so funny, nearly every clip of film with this actor in makes you laugh. ...

Stars all round
Review of L.A. Confidential DVD by fuzzybear967

Advantages: Gripping plot
Disadvantages: None

L.A. Confidential has an impressive cast and certainly I found it to be an enjoyable crime thriller with a good storyline and some excellent performances. Set in 1940's Los Angeles and focusing on Hollywood it is a story about a number of police officers in the force charged with quelling a viscious gang war following the jailing of the head of the mafia in Los Angeles. It is a dark film with a lot of violence and some strong performances. Guy ...
...Pearce is the careerist trying to follow in Daddies foot steps who believes honesty and integrity are paramount and as such following a violent attacke he gives evidence against fellow officers in order to advance his career. Crowe character adopts a more violent approach to his work however early on there are hints that he has a good side as he tends to target wife beaters for his own personal wrath following an unhappy childhood. Kevin Spacey ... Read review

Fins, can only get better, can only get better
Review of Deep Blue Sea (Wide Screen) by earlofaldgate

Advantages: A bit twisty
Disadvantages: poor CGI (dated)

Plot ------ A research team are trying to discover a cure for Alzheimer's disease by increasing the brain capacity of sharks. The more they play with the sharks brains, the cleverer they get(the sharks silly, the scientists are already clever - or so they think). Obviously it all goes wrong and the 3 super sharks go on the rampage.Theres a huge storm, the staff have gone away for the weekend and they're running on a skeleton crew (although they ...
...of them, nice) Think land that time forgot with Doug McClure but with sharks instead of dinosaurs. The facility floods, they have to find a way out avoiding the big killers. Actually, it's a bit like the Poseidon adventure too. Cast -------- Thomas Jane as Carter Blake Saffron Burrows as Dr. Susan McCallister LL Cool J as Sherman 'Preacher' Dudley Michael Rapaport as Tom "Scoggs" Scoggins Stellan Skarsgård as Jim Whitlock Samuel L. Jackson as ... Read review
