"It puts the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again".

Words that have passed the lips of movie buffs for the past seventeen years with such ferver.

Clarice Starling is a student of the FBI academy in Quantico; bright, sharp, and eager to succeed. Her idol, Jack Crawford, asks her to interview a famous serial killer known as "Hannibal the Cannibal" Lektor in the hopes of learning some information leading to finding a serial killer known as "Buffalo Bill" who likes to kidnap women, murder them, then skin them.

Hannibal Lektor promises Clarice the chance to succeed at her task by providing her with the information she needs to capture the killer, but only in exchange for a chance to delve into ... Read More:

Monk - still crazy after all these seasons. And, let's face it, there have been two or three too many. Bitty Schram's sudden departure (apparently because she was paid less than everyone else) midway through season three ripped the heart out of the show, and the basic dynamics between the central characters have never worked since. Traylor "Trash" Howard (probably not her real nickname) just doesn't compare.

Season six is fine, just as adequate as the previous two. There are some decent celebrity cameos from Sarah Silverman (reprising her role as Adrian's obsessed number one fan), Snoop Dogg (yes, Snoop Dogg) and Alfred Molina. There's also a little bit of long-awaited progress in the overarching plot. But there's far too much ... Read More:

This film is fantastic. It is beautifully shot and I was utterly captivated for the whole two and half hours. A lot of criticsm has been levelled at this film for being overly long and very slow. I don't entirely disagree. It IS long and it doesn't move at a great pace, but then does every film have to do that to make it good? No. This came out at the same time to 3.10 To Yuma, that film is a thrill ride from start to finish, but in twenty years time I know which one will be held up as the classic. The performances by Pitt, Affleck and Rockwell are outstanding, the narrator (whoever it may be?) suits the feel of the film brilliantly by speaking with a rather world weary inflection in his voice. The cinematography is second to none. In fact I like this film ... Read More:

I watched American Gangster for the first time on Sky the other day and have to say it is a great film and a pleasure to watch. I've just ordered the blu ray.

It's a slow burner and not the most action packed, but that isn't always a bad thing as this film proves. Based on the true story of Frank Lucas and his rise to power and Richie Roberts and his relentless quest to bring Lucas to justice.

The acting is great as you would expect from such a cast and New York and New Jersey look great going back to the 70's.

There is some great books and documentaries on Frank Lucas and Nicky Barnes (this guy should have film about his life also) so check them out.

All in all a 5 star film.

I absolutely love this film. It has the perfect balance between action and drama and the performances are truely great. I love the fact that my two favourite actors (Pacino and DeNiro) are in it as enemies.

I cannot believe that some people have given it 1 star!!

The Hills Have Eyes was fantastic and had everything a horror movie needs, a tight story, good acting, creative death scenes and characters you actually cared about when they started dying.

The Hills Have Eyes 2 was not as good as the first but it was still great, some of the scenes were extremely graphic and unnessecery such as the birth scene at the beginning but there are few of them and the rest of the film makes up for them, my favourite scene being when a mutant cuts a blokes arm off and waves to him as he falls to his death.

The boxset is a great buy, ignore what other people say and listen to me, buy it now.

When I was a kid I loved the original tv series. It used to be shown very late at night on what was then I.T.V. However, this awful travesty of a film is an insult to me and the thousands of other fans across the globe of the original tv show. It completely lacks the charm, humor and heart of the old show, that if you know anything about it, was created every week by writers, cast and crew that truly loved what they were doing. If you want to know the true and horrifying origin of this celluloid debacle check out the dvd of AN EVENING WITH KEVIN SMITH VOLUME 1. Your jaw will drop!

Well, Flubber is one of the best movies I've ever watched! A professor invents an extremely bouncy kind of rubber, it gets out of control and breaks windows, when it comes back, the professor names it Flubber. He tries it on all kinds of different things, like golf balls, bowling balls, he uses it to win a basketball match and he even uses it to make cars fly. This is a hilarious treat for both children and adults, you will not want to throw it in the bin.

Excellent!

Thank you for reading my review.
