Saving Private Ryan
(1998)

This film rocks, closest i have seen to a 'in ya face' war experience.
This is a truly awesome film in terms of special effects and it really makes you feel like you are in the action. This is the closest i have seen to any war film in getting you feeling you are actually their, sounds special effects and visual experience is superb (although the video footage quality on DVD doesn't look so good on a larger screen for some reason).

Excellent DVD demo disk, the landing sequence at the beginning is simply breath-taking and really shows you what they went through. The use of sound is amazing, with bullets whistling past you ..

"Band of brothers" is pretty much the same but slower in pace due to the TV series length.

Verdict:- Fantastic, a must own Film to showcase visual effects and surround sound systems.

Blade: Trinity
(2004)

Good, but not as good as the second.
Just seen this third film, and have to say it is good on the whole, probably on par with the first, but not as good as the second.

Soundtrack on the second film was awesome, but i found it poor and bit over zealous on this one. Photography wasn't as good either, lots of good action scenes are ruined a bit by the constant camera-flicking angle trick, so your eyes don't really have time to adjust to see the excellent martial arts moves. Shame really.

Characters are good, the two fighting partners (abigail and hannibal) are good as well, eye candy for the men and ladies i think.

Strange how all the mutations and Dracula himself is have jaws that look the same as the 'reapers' did in the second one though. Co-incidence that. Could have come up with something else for him, something unique.

Overall great film, worth seeing, just let down slightly by the sound and photography. Will still be sitting on my DVD shelf though.

Final Destination
(2000)

Verdict
Sometimes there appears a film that is just such an original idea its fantastic. This is one of those films, if you havent seen it. Do it now!

Okay so it has an unknown cast, but it is truly original and makes for a fantastic journey of on-your-seat entertainment.

Excellent.

Jabberwocky
(1977)

Funtastic
What can i say about this movie, absolutely classic ! I must have seen this film around 50 times now, after a couple of beers and settling down after a night out with my brother we would watch this every time. Personally i prefer it to most of the python stuff ( except the holy grail ) because there cartoony bits get on my nerves.

Yes this file was made on a budget, dodgy camera work, but wow, so stupidly funny and the sets and costumes are truly ... err gritty.

The more you see this film, the better it gets. I have just dug this out of my tape archive, after not seeing it for over 5 years. And its still excellent ( grinning ).

Time to buy the DVD i think ...
