Rush This is an entertaining film, which is almost as good as the first film. Wesley Snipes is great again in the lead role as Blade. The former Bros singer was a surprise choice for the role of the Reaper vampire, Nomak, but I was pleasantly...

Review of Blade 2 (DVD)

Favorite of the Bel Canto Opera Fans

Advantages: In original French! Kasarova, Vargas, Furmansky
Disadvantages: They don't pronounce French well. A bit under-rehearsed

...La Favorite is one of 3 French grand opera written by the bel canto master Gaetano Donizetti (though it is often performed in Italian under the title 'La Favorita'). The story is based on Royer's and Vaez's play 'L'Ange de Nisida'. SYNOPSIS: The novice monk Fernand is dismissed from the monastery in Castile by his prior Balthazar due to his attraction to an unknown beauty whose hand he had touched during a service. Fernand takes off to Leon, where he meets the courtesan Inez and her colleagues in the service of Leonor de Guzman, the mistress of King Alphonse XI, who turns out to be the unknown beauty he met in Castile). Having mistaken her for a royalty, Fernand joins the army vowing to earn glory in battle deserving of her attention. After showing his valor in a victorious battle with the Moors, Fernand is praised by the happy...

Review of Donizetti: La Favorite

SCENT OF DREAMZ

Advantages: smells amazing
Disadvantages: none

... NO DISADVANTAGES Lenor summer breeze, is my number one at the moment. If you like the smell of fresh clothes, then this product will be your number one to. In other reviews I have done there are always advantages to a product, and in all of them there are always disadvantages. But this is the product I can truly say there are no disadvantages, everything it says on the bottle it does. And what it is there to do is scent your clothes and condition them. LEONOR IS ONE OF A KIND Lenors' concentrated formula is amazing, when I first used it in my wash I was so hypnotised with the smell I sat there smelling...

Goal 2 - What Happens When You Get Too Big For Your Boots?

Advantages: Good sequel as sequels go
Disadvantages: Again predictable

...with them, to discuss his future. Of course everything is not plain sailing and Santiago finds success difficult to deal with, amid revelations regarding his absent mother and new found sibling... Main Cast Kuno Becker - Santiago Muñez Stephen Dillane - Glen Foy Anna Friel - Roz Harmison Alessandro Nivola - Gavin Harris Sean Pertwee - Barry Rankin Leonor Varela - Jordan Garcia General Info Certificate 12 Studio - Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment Runtime 110 minutes. Director The director is Jaume Collet-Serra who is from Spain. He has not directed that many films, only House of Wax (2005) before Goal 2, so I think that for an inexperienced director he did quite a good job. Acting The acting was no great masterpiece, but that is ok, because the film doesn't claim to be a work of art and the main...

Review of Goal! 2 - Living The Dream (DVD)

Two Types Of Wood

Advantages: Intriguing murder mystery
Disadvantages: Not what it seems, not sure if thats good or bad

...games, and the security in the airports is incredibly lax. I guess this is part of the movies charm, that level of uncertainty giving the movie an offbeat look and feel. The best part of the movie lies in its conclusion, which I cannot really discuss for fear of ruining the story for you, all I'll say is that what you think your getting is far from the case, and the dramatic difference and ultimate conclusion comes as quite a shock, you could say an anti-climax too if it were not for the very clever delivery. Having already landed on UK shores and leading in the movie Green Street I was a little uncertain what to make of Elijah Wood in the leading role, personally I cannot see what would attract this Catweazle lookalike to women, but within 30 minutes he has wooed his way into the hearts of the movies two female leads Leonor Wating as...

Review of The Oxford Murders DVD

Brickbats and Bouquets

Advantages: Some really strong performances.
Disadvantages: The direction and writing doesn't compare with the acting.

.... Less convincing is conniving little tart Leonore Lemmon, whose motives are rather too obvious for her to feel entirely realistic. The same can be said of controlling cuckold Eddie Mannix. The dialogue is generally snappy, though much of Simo?s banter feels like he?s picked it up from old movies. There is some swearing and it is quite harsh. When Reeves dares to defend Leonore to Toni, she snaps ?Does she blow smoke rings with her c***?? but it fits the characters and the period pretty well. I?ve never been a great fan of Ben Affleck ? he?s too smug and his performances are usually superficial. George Reeves is something of a departure for him; playing a washed-up screen idol, wasting his life away with the bottle and embarking on ill-advised love affairs. You get the impression Affleck identifies with the character and this makes...

Review of Hollywoodland (DVD)

"One Was Not Enough!"

Advantages: Bad acting, Ridiculous story, Awful dialogue
Disadvantages: They didn't make more

...goblin food. The Waits family are a pretty well off middle class bunch with all the major appliances. If it was me, I would be seriously worried that I was about to be royally ripped off. Off course it actually gets much worse than that. As does the acting. Michael Stephenson plays Joshua about as well as could be expected from a young inexperienced child, so I've no real grievances there. However, the rest of the family must have spent far too long 'being a tree' at the Sunday Amateur Dramatics Society, as their natural state seems to be somewhere between wooden and petrified. Most of the acting is actually bad enough to make even the cast of Hollyoaks blush. The real standouts must be Deborah Reed as Creedence Leonore Gielgud, the campest witch I've ever seen, making the Rocky Horror Picture Show look like Shakespeare. Gary Carlson's part...

Review of Troll 2 (DVD)

A big, biting excitement fest

Advantages: Fast-paced, exciting, Wes
Disadvantages: none

...a tragic figure in some respects (till you see him in action with a jugular vein). And don’t mock, but Luke Goss is actually very good in this part – no boy next door looks here. You’ll be surprised. Leonor Varela – Nyssa She is the daughter of Damaskinos. A beautiful, exotic vampire, she almost seems to win the heart of our cool hero, Blade. She forms part of the vampire army sent to kill the Reapers. Thomas Kretschmann – Domaskinos As mentioned, he is the vampire overlord who formed the vampire army, with the original intention of killing Blade, then realising he needs Blade’s help. You don’t see him much in the film, but he is a major part of the plot. I would recommend you go and see this film (had you guessed that I liked it?!). For me, Wesley Snipes makes Blade his own, and I can...

Review of Blade 2 (DVD)

Sometimes a stake is better than turkey..

Advantages: A great action movie, good value DVD
Disadvantages: It's very bloody, violent so not for the squeamish

...with a dark side. Does anybody remember the beauty and the beast TV series, not much good I know, but that?s where I saw him first. For me his most memorable performances were in City of lost children, Name of the rose and Alien resurrection (I liked it!). He?s a nasty Vampire in this, doesn?t care for Blade too much I can tell you Leonor Varela: Nyssa. Talented performance, good character, daughter of the Vampire lord and good looking love interest for Blade. Never seen her in anything before but watch this space, she?ll be back. Norman Reedus: Scud. Blades ?Q?, gizmo maker extraordinaire and sidekick, filling Whistlers shoes, building ?those wonderful toys?. Annoyingly brilliant is how you might describe this character, well played by another unknown to me. Cool Danny John-Jules: Asad. Baring no resemblance to his ?Cat...
