I've seem some great films and some pants films in my life so I thought I'd knock up this page to share my views on the films I can remember something about! :)

Mission Impossible 2

Quote of the film:

So, the seqel to what was, surprisingly for Hollywood, a rather complex plotted film. Still I enjoyed every minute of it. This leads me to what must be one of the most linear plotted films ever made and do you know what? This doesn't matter one bit. The lack of complex plots and sub-plots lets you sit back and admire Woo at his best, the man is a legend. There are so many good set pieces and Tom Cruise is very much up to the task. The whole bike chase scene is truly amazing... want brain taxing plot? Don't bother with this. Want amazing Woo action? You got it!

Good points:

WOO!!!!

Tom Cruise is top notch

Fantastic set pieces and gun play

Bad Points:

No Chow... :)

Not exactly taxing on the brain... not that this really matters

What the hell is it with this crap sexist tosh?

The Replacement Killers

Quote of the film:

Chow Yun-Fat's first Hollywood outing which turns out to be a fairly decent film, Chow plays a hitman (hang on that sounds familiar) who gets hired to kill a cop's son, he can't go through with it and is soon on the run from both the cop and the man who hired him. This all ends with Chow shooting the crap out of everyone and saving the day. Hurrah!

Good points:

Some nice tunes

Fit bird!

Chow with Guns

Bad Points:

No Woo

Not exactly taxing for Chow

Something missing

The Killer

Quote of the film:

Chow Yun-Fat plays a Hitman (hang on that sounds familiar) in a film with great plot, great actors, great acting and directed by John Woo... the result? An amazing film only bettered by Hard Boiled. Hitman with a heart Chow accidently blinds a singer on one of his hits, he feels responsible and takes care of her. Little does he know that a cop is on his trail, an inevitable showdown arises when the cop and Chow's past finally catches up with him.

Good Points:

Chow at his best!

Chow with lots of guns and lots of people to shoot

Moving story

Bad Points:

Bad Points... are you mad?

A Better Tomorrow II

Quote of the film:

John Woo's fantastic over the top sequel to the acclaimed A Better Tomorrow. Chow plays the twin of the brother killed in the previous film (handy that) and when not shooting the crap out of people he cooks rice and helps out his nutcase friends.
More gun action than you could shake a stick at, with a host of top Hong Kong names and some of the best set-pieces you'll ever see this is one of Woo's Classics.

Good Points:

Chow and co in some serious gun action

Where the hell did they get all those extras?

Plot? Identical twin brothers? Who Cares! Bring on the carnage!!

Bad Points:

You can't take it seriously

Heros shed no tears

Quote of the film:

John... what were you thinking?

Good Points:

Err... it's got guns?

Bad Points:

Very poor...

Magical Warriors of Zu Montians

Quote of the film:

Tsui Hark's martial art masterpiece, it truly is bonkers stuff but you can't help but be impressed even after all these years. Demons, colour coded ninja armies and extremely long facial hair.

Good Points:

Impressive flying kung-fu moves

Good fun!

Bad Points:

That ninja bit at the beginning doesn't last long enough!

Once a Thief

Quote of the film:

Woo and Chow join forces to produce a classic gangster comedy, and of course its got lots of guns and shooting! Chow is one of a trio of art thieves who bite off more than they can chew..

Good Points:

Its got Chow and Guns

That bloke and he's cards, what a guy!

Leslie Cheung in full effect! Thankfully not in full voice... his Janet Jackson cover is good, but not that good! :)

Bad Points:

Err... none!

Wild Search

Quote of the film:

Ringo Lam directs and Chow Yun-Fat stars in this retelling of Peter Weir's 'Witness'. Chow plays a copwho has to protect a witness (surprisingly) from a bastich psycho killer, sounds good to me... and for most parts it is!

Good Points:

Some heart felt stuff

Seeing its not Woo the gun-play holds it own

Bad Points:

Not quite a classic

Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla

Quote of the film:

The first epic battle between Godzilla and his evil metal counterpart, this Godzilla flick has lots of classic moments... the best one has to be when King Ceasar's ears prick up... trust me watch it drunk and you will laugh! I promise! What can I say about the film... Godzilla fights and things get crushed and mashed, oh and there is some plot involving aliens trying to take over the world and kidnapped scientists and ancient mythology...

Good Points:

Comedy of King Ceasar's ears!

Cliche old bloke

Bad Points:

That bloody singing!! Not good for the hearing or the TV speakers, blimey...
