Dragon Blade

Don't waste a credit on this one

(Edit) 18/05/2017

We generally don't write reviews and I am fairly tolerant of bad films. This one though, despite the obviously high productions values fails to engage on any level. I can't put my finger on what it is about it - probably the way it is cut accompanied by lashings of cheese, poor plots and dialogue. I just dont give a monkies how it ends. I am writing this review during the films climax. Just don't hire it please.

Run Lola Run

Run Lola Run

(Edit) 19/06/2006

A modern and original German film. In some ways like Sliding Doors in the way that it focusses on small actions that can effect the path that your life takes. When the first scenario finished, my boyfriend told me that the film was only 30 minutes long and that was it! Glad it was longer.

Alien Autopsy

Alien A

(Edit) 02/10/2006

Ant and Dec are surprisingly good in Alien Autopsy. Given that they are known as presenters, you forget that they can actually act, too. The film is a humerous account of the faking of the autopy of an alien body, and it's great because there's an element of truth to the story, and also because you sympathise with the characters.

The Party

Party

(Edit) 19/06/2006

Strange film, with some very funny moments, but plot is slightly far-fetched in places. Looks quite dated which gives it a certain style. Wouldn't say it was that amazing, but we have taken to calling our dog's food 'num-nums'.

Withnail and I

Cult of Withnail

(Edit) 02/10/2006

I've seen this cult classic before but I wanted to get it out again. It gets better the more you know it. Everyone knows someone who is like, or has lived like Withnail, and although the film is unpolished and looks slightly dated, that is part of the charm. One you either love or hate, but if you think student squalour has a decadent appeal, get this one out!

The Grudge

Quite scary

(Edit) 07/03/2006

This is quite a scary film, but not as amazing as the DVD extras would have you believe. Not quite enough background to the characters but the plot is quite clever. Like the way it moves backwards and forwards in time. Mabee the Japanese version is better than this Americanised one - hard to believe it would work if the cast and crew are speaking 2 diffferent languages.

Saw half of this and thought it was rubbish.

Hotel Rwanda

Fab

(Edit) 18/05/2006

Best film I've seen for a while - one that really stays with you. Made me cry (I'm a girl).

The Elephant Man

Poor Elephant

(Edit) 13/10/2006

A sad film, but one to watch. It's interesting to see how people lived in Victorian times.

The Motorcycle Diaries

Motorcycle Diaries

(Edit) 18/05/2006

Not knowing a lot about Che guevara, it seemed odd to me to imagine him as a young man, but the film did really evoke the characters and a certain time and place in history. I just want them to make a sequel now of the next bit of his life!

Extras: Series 1

Extra special

(Edit) 13/10/2006

These are great. If you liked The Office you'll love these, and the cameos from the stars are fabulous.

Super Size Me

Must See film

(Edit) 31/01/2006

Everyone should see this, although it's not always pleasant viewing. Great film for making a stand, it's good that it's done so well for an 'amateur' movie. The DVD extras are worth watching too.

House of Flying Daggers

Wind beneath Mai Wings

(Edit) 13/10/2006

Not at all what I expected, but there were some incredibly beautiful images presented, and 'Mai' is stunning as a blind ninja. Some of the martial arts moves are somewhat unrealistic, as in The Matrix and Crouching Tiger, but it doesn't seem to matter, the film being something of a mythical tale.

Ladies in Lavender

Lavender

(Edit) 07/03/2006

Very evocative of a time and a place, also superby acted - very believable characters. Kept waiting for a disaster to happen, but it wasn't too bad fortunately.

Phoenix Nights: Series 1

Phoenix up in flames

(Edit) 13/10/2006

Northern humour at its finest! So many small details run through this series and the next, it's very clever. You like and dislike the main character at the same time.
