Advantages: The original play is very good.
Disadvantages: Virtually everything about this self-important, pretentious pile of tripe.

Millionaire crime writer Andrew Wyke invites his wife's lover to his hi-tech house to engage in a battle of wits. The clever and manipulative author is determined to use his mind games to bring unemployed actor Milo Tindle to his knees. So begins an elaborate game of cat-and-mouse, in which trickery and deceit are the keys to winning and staying alive. Oh dear, oh dear - yet another pointless remake to a highly successful film, this time directed ...
...theatrical institution Harold Pinter. You'd have thought with such impeccable theatre credentials, this is one stage play adaptation that would have a fighting chance. But you'd be wrong. Instead it is a film too aware of its theatrical origins and stymied by the conventions of a stage-bound two-hander. For one thing the film looks like a play - the stark modernist setting could just as easily have been built on a stage and there's little sense of ... Read review

Disadvantages: the box is cardboard, would have been better in plastic but not really a major issue

...boyfriends birthday as he loves Green Street and thought the other two films would probably be to his taste too! I bought the boxset in tesco of all places for just £6 which is an absolute bargain for 3 great DVD's. GREEN STREET I didnt think I would enjoy this film as it is about football (yawn!) but thought I'd give it a go anyway as it was his birthday! I was surprised to find that I really enjoyed the film and you dont need to be a football ...
...storyline. Green Street is about two rival London firms in a bitter battle that ends in tragedy. The main character Matt Buckner, is played by Elijah Wood which when I read thought would be an unlikely choice for a film like this, however he displayed some fantastic acting and I was extremely impressed with his performance. The film has plenty of action and is in parts violent. Also starring in this film- Charlie Hunnam, Claire Forlani, Marc Warren ... Read review

Advantages: good story, good acting, believable
Disadvantages: dragged at the start

I went to see this in the cinema when it came out, and it i have to say i wasnt too sure i liked it when i came out of the cinema. It was quite a serious type of comedy, which i wasnt expecting. I rewatched it last night though, and have to say i prefered it second time round. It was about 2 sisters who are completely different, one is played by toni collette and shes sensible and hasnt alot of confidence in herself, shes not very successful with ...
...her ruin her sisters life in the beginning of the movie. She doesnt have alot of thought for others, especially her poor sister who does everything for her. After months apart, Cameron Diaz's character maggie, takes stock of her life and then goes on to sort herself out, and she becomes a much nicer indidivual. You see her become more sensible and alot more caring and her transformation is great and i really did like the new maggie. You acting is ... Read review
