If you liked these then this one is more of the same stuff. Cruise is very good, Watanabe excellent. A compelling story well told. Was this review helpful?

His character makes one mistake - caring, when an ice-cold approach would be more suitable for such rescue operations. He must choose between following orders, and saving the lives of refugees he is ordered to leave behind (in the face of a brutal political regime of ethnic cleansing). A thought-provoking story. Long live Bruce Willis. Was this review helpful?

Cameos from a host of celebrities. A laugh a minute, i'd watch it again and again. Side-splitting stuff. Was this review helpful?

But then I actually watched it, and was so impressed i got the box-set. It is a fantastic story, and for such a long film, you barely notice time ticking away, such is its level of quality. A great cast, superb special effects, great screenplay, acting.... great everything!! Its like a mobile phone, - you don't realise what your missing out on until you actually try it yourslef. I strongly recommend. All ages will love this film (and subsequent ones too of course). Was this review helpful?

Knowledge is power and what you don't know Will hurt you. Farrell is impressive, Pacino Flawless. I particularly liked the scene with the polygraph test from this film.<br>Intriguing and full of suspense to the very end. A good rent. Was this review helpful?

Sign In 0 out of 1 users found this helpful I'm just reviewing an old casePosted: 10/23/2003A review of From Russia With Love by nazdarovya Connery as usual is flawless and I thought Robert Shaw was very good as the henchman, though Rosa Klebb isn't the best or most intimidating villain out there, even if she does have a poisonous knife coming out of her shoe. This film is not very exaggerated, and is more tense and intriguing, especially the section on the train(One of those times when Bond's gadgets really helped). This is a very good quality because some of the other Bond films are a bit over the top in my view. A classic spy story in the middle of the cold war, the only bad point being the climax, or lack of one. Overall very good. Was this review helpful?

Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman were great and delivered perfect performances. Andy is sent to prison for life, and thus begins his journey which is an uphill struggle all the way. It's a very moving film, told from the perspective of Red, another convicted murderer and Andy's best friend, whose first impression of Andy is that a stiff breeze would blow him over. As time progresses though, Andy's values of hope have an impact on red who develops a better understanding and different perspective on things. When I first saw it, I was overwhelmed. It should have done way better in the oscars. This is one of the best films I have ever seen and would strongly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it. Was this review helpful?

Not many, but then again, this is Bond. Extravagant scenes like this are what make 007 films so popular. The plot is good and centers mainly around the lovely Kara, and a defecting Russian General Koskov. One of the enemy henchmen(the big blond chap) is very impressive and gives Dalton a good run for his money. Plenty of action, Dalton wasn't phased and was comfortable playing 007. He introduced a new Bond to the audience, a little more serious than previous actors, a good thing in my view. An intriguing film, which is hard to predict at first. Certainly worth watching.

Sign In 0 out of 0 users found this helpful This is the part I really likePosted: 10/23/2003A review of The Man With the Golden Gun by nazdarovya Not much of a plot here, basically the whole film is leading up to a dual between Bond and Christopher Lee, who plays Scaramanga, the 3-nippled assassin, easily in the top 5 as far as Bond villains go. Nicnac still stands out as a pesky sidekick, the girl was cute too. The film boasts one of the most amazing stunts I have ever seen in a Bond film, which must have been a first back in the 70's, involving a car crossing a canal, NOT via a bridge. You have to see to believe. The classic duel at the end is excellent, one of the better confrontations in the Bond series. Was this review helpful?

Madsen is masterful, Buscemi brilliant. That famous torture scene i'll never forget. very graphically violent though, not everyone's cup of tea but certainly mine!!! Was this review helpful? Sign In 2 out of 2 users found this helpful MasterpiecePosted: 3/27/2003A review of Heat by nazdarovya Arguably the two greatest actors around in the same film and they didn't disappoint. The film gets five stars for its story, the way it shows the common sacrafices that the cop and conman have had to make along their opposite and conflicting journeys, leading to mutual respect. Brilliant from start to finish. Was this review helpful? Sign In 0 out of 0 users found this helpful He's probably armedPosted: 2/24/2003A review of A View to a Kill by nazdarovya Christopher Walken saves this film, Moore can perform incredible stunts at his age can't he?!! Tanya plays the dumb blonde to perfection. The fire truck scene and GGbridge scene are the best from this film. There are better Bond films out there, but being the Bond nut that I am I loved it anyway. Mayday remains a memorable villain too. Another rare good point is that the stunts aren't too over the top and just about believable, and the soundtrack is one of the best. Not bad, but not Moore's best Bond film either.

Great locations, intriguing plot, and we finally get to see Blofelt, ughhh! No wonder he was kept hidden! Masterfully played by Donald Pleasance. Does Kissy Suzuki have a face like a pig???? I think not! Watch out for the piranhas, but most of all, little nelly!!! There's also a memorable fight scene with bond on the roof of the docks, they should still have that music in the modern films! Excellent! Was this review helpful? Sign In 1 out of 1 users found this helpful Double six, fancy that!Posted: 1/15/2003A review of Octopussy by nazdarovya This bond film has a good plot, with general Gogol taking a 'good-guy' stance in this one, opposed to one of his subordinates who wants to prolonge the cold war. Isn't it ironic that in most if not all Bond films, the villains arrogantly describe to 007 in great detail how their master plans will be executed, only to see them foiled at the last minute because of something they said?!!! I still liked this film, one of the more believable, less exaggerated Bond films, in terms of outrageous stunts. The auction, and the 'double six' scenes are very funny to watch, to see 007 and Kamal Khan size each other up. And watch out for the big guy who never speaks, and crushes dice in his hands (never a good thing). Kinda like Jaws or Oddjob. The knivethrowers are peskier than first impressions too. An enjoyable film. Was this review helpful? Sign In |
