Film Reviews by Sapphyr

The photography - scenery, is beautifully understated and Scarlett Johansson, alien or not, would seduce the pants off pretty well anyone and, like the scenery, is *great* eye-candy :) I'm not that much of a petrol-head so I was put off Transit Vans when I was at uni - a yawn, yawn car-club raving about trivia - getting from 'A to B' that's all that matters!

In my youth it was 'Jason And The Argonauts' but I'm sure my granddaughters will enjoy this :)

I imagine, after seeing this, a lot of the girls, and some of the boys, will try to emulate Miss Prince.

Like many others, I was concerned that this would not be as good but, I was wrong :) It's daft as before and it's cathartic to see that, apart from thinking 'Fargo'? for part of the time, as always with films, I *love* nostalgic soundtracks and playing 'guess the artist' or, in the vernacular, 'Who the bl**ding, f**ing, f** *is* that?

One of my staff/friends is a wee Scots lassie so I played the T1 soundtrack to death around the office system!

It's a shame I couldn't watch this as the cast looks good and this is to take it to 100 characters or thereabouts, I hope!

TBH, it's not that different to the original or the second Mad Maxes - I found MM3 quite tiresome as I expected the singing to start at any minute!

As usual, the girls provide a degree of eye-candy but I hate to think what all that sun did to their skins.

Once the story got underway, it was the usual frenetic driving and wobbly plot.

The 'ah isn't that lovely' tying up a few threads ending was a lazy cop-out - sorry about the pun Max :)

It's a bit long and it's no surprise that it's by Paul Verhoeven.

Isabelle Huppert is very good but I was expecting a Stockholm Syndrome like ending which, thankfully, did not materialise.

As an on/off Parisienne - I lived in the UK and worked with a number of French companies, I liked the nostalgia and the dreadful driving :)
