Scarface (1983)
Good modern-era gangster film
Cast: Al Pacino, Steven Baufer, Elizabeth Mary Mastrantonio, Robert Loggia. Run Time 170 minutes Genres action, thriller ,drama, crime. Director Brian De Palma. Producer Martin Bregman. Screenplay Oliver Stone. Rating USA original rating X (new rating R) UK 18 Scarface is based on a 1932 Classic film by Howard Hawks. This is a good film that portrays the flashy,fashionable disco side of the 80's well. Not like some other gangster films that are more traditionally set. Such as The Godfather, Once upon a time in America, The Krays and The Untouchables
The scenes are well choreographed, especially the end fight at Tonys mansion.The movie boasts with an excellent performance with Al Pacino In the starring role as Tony Montana a cubing refugee seeking the American Dream. I love this movie and i would recommend this film to any gangster film or Pacino fan 10 out of 10 this movie is excellent buy it you will not be disappointed by this films sheer quality.
Goodfellas (1990)
Goodfellas = Good movie
Goodfellas is a gangster film classic, not to be missed by those who love gangster films. I saw the film in the movie section of a TV magazine. but i thought it was on sky movies and i do not have sky movies, but the film was actually on turner classic movies (TCM for short) but when i found that out, i had missed it. So i then bought the film on 2-disc special edition DVD. I hadn't seen the film before i watched it on DVD but i was hoping that i would like the film or it would be a waste of the £10 i paid for it. but i loved it.
The film has an amazing plot but i don't want to spoil the plot for you so watch the film and find out. The film has an excellent cast and all the actors acted at their very best.
if you love gangster films SEE THIS NOW! 10/10 Excellent film thanks for reading
The Terminator (1984)
One of the best sci-fi films out there
The Terminator in one of the best sci-fi films ever here is my review of this sci-fi classic, Special effects 8/10 brilliant for the time but now seem a little out dated. Acting 9/10 Terminator was a role built for Arnold also good performances by Micheal Bienh and Linda Hamilton. Action 9/10 action non stop action and non stop suspense will grip you and keep you watching the film. Storyline 10/10 the storyline is brilliant and gripping and inventive. The Terminator is a sci-fi classic and is not only one of the greatest sci-fi movies out there but is also one of the best films ever i think if you are a sci-fi fan like me you'll love this. 10/10 grade A a must see.
The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
If you liked the first one you'll probably like Reloaded
Many people say that Reloaded is not that good because it doesn't follow the Matrix story, but if you watch the Animatrix and play the computer game Enter the Matrix. the stories in the game and in the cartoon weave around Reloaded. Special effects 9/10 state of the art action sequences & special effects will keep you on the edge of your seat. Acting 7/10 acting is great and full of expression but is not the best acting I have ever seen. Story line 7.5/10 as I said, play the game and watch the Animatrix and you will understand Reloaded better but if you just watch Reloaded without playing the game or watching the Animatrix you'll probably not understand it very well. Action 10/10 non stop hard hitting action with brilliantly choreographed fast action martial arts sequences. If you liked the Matrix you'll probably like Reloaded. So give Reloaded a chance and watch it. 8/10 watch it if you're a matrix fan like me.
The Godfather Part II (1974)
A rare sequel
The Godfather part II is a fantastic sequel and a great follow up to the original. Most sequels are not as good as the original, some are plain rubbish. But The Godfather part II is rare because it is just as good as the original (some reviewers say it is better than the first but i don't think so). The performances are brilliant just like in the first. Robert de Niro plays a young Vito Corleone. showing the young life of Vito in the 1920's While Michael tries to extend the family business in the 1950's. The godfather part II is a must see for fans of the original,what a must buy for fans of the original. fans of the original will love 10/10 definitive crime film. Thanks for reading.
Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Excellent sequel
I went to my local cinema to see this film about a year ago with my grandma who went with me, i didn't think i would like it that much because i didn't understand the first one very well but i just wanted to get out of the house. But i loved it with its fantastic special effects ,great action scenes, great super villain, great super hero great acting and a dash of humour. Something for everyone even my grandma sat there enjoying every single minute of it. After the film finished i came out of the cinema thinking WOW what a great film i wanted it on DVD when it first came out i didn't get it then and i still haven't got it but i saw it at the Imax and that was the ultimate experience. 10/10 a must for fans of the first or if you're bored and need something to entertain you. Thanks for reading.

Constantine is a fantastic horror film about an exorcist named Jhon Constantine(Keanu Reeves)who teams up with a police officer named Angela(Rachel Wiesz) who thinks her sister was brainwashed to stepping of the roof of a mental hospital. together they fight demons who exist in an alternative version of earth. The movie has great special effects(especially in the hell scenes),great acting by Keanu and Rachel in fact by all of the cast plus sequences of great suspense and action Constantine is a must for any fan of the action thriller genre. Keanu Reeve's best film since the matrix trilogy. rated R for strong horror and exorcism theme. 10\10 thanks for reading
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
not as good as the book
I first saw this film on channel 5 i was flicking through and the film was already half way through but i stopped and watched the rest of it and i thought good,but when i saw the whole film at school and thought okay because there were a few scenes which were not in the book. However the film is nicely cast cast with Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka and Jack Albertson as grandpa Joe and introducing peter oestrus as Charlie and is a great family ideal for children and a nice magical ride film worth renting a nice children's film. but however the film has a boat ride scene with some violent images whit ch you may not want children under the age of to view. as good as the new remake by Tim Burton and starring Jhonny Depp 7/10
