Advantages: Action, Adventure, Humour,
Disadvantages: Violent at times,

...but unfortunately lost. Sean Connery received a Golden Globe nomination. ***OPINION*** This is one of my favourite films, there is a lot of humour with Sean Connery and Harrison Ford acting together and throughout the film I was laughing, gasping and smiling. Definitely my top Indiana Jones film for action and adventure and my favourite part is when we see Indiana as a child running away and ending up in a circus train, which is how we come to lean about his fear of snakes! An addictive film, and I was sad to learn it was the last one (until the release of this year's Indiana Jones film!) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ***BONUS MATERIAL*** One-of-a-kind, treasure chest of bonus material. Enjoy over 3 hours of all-new documentaries created exclusively for the DVD collection and supervised by the series' acclaimed film makes, Steven... Read review

Advantages: Fast Service.
Disadvantages: I don't know.

...Just by GBP1, you are going to have 15 pcs of chicken at Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) in Indonesia. It is a new package or offer from KFC in Indonesia. Well, in this case KFC offers a package (containing 5 pcs of chicken) just for Rp4,545 (GBP1 = Rp14,000). Personally I see it is a great offer! Well, I visit KFC with my son and wife once in a month. My wife and I do not love eating KFC's products, but my son does! It does not mean that I am anti-Americans’ products! As the fact, most of people living in Indonesia (especially the adults) do not prefer eating the products very much. But, concerning that having lunch or dinner at KFC is the simplest way (because they serve their consumers with the FAST FOOD concept), especially when we do not have much time, we must walk into KFC! Another fact, I see that children living... Read review

Advantages: All of Sean in one box
Disadvantages: None

...This is a real treasure trove for Bond fans…. Sean Connery was the original Bond and this box contains all the Connery Bonds in the 2 disc format that was recently released. But be aware that this does not contain Never Say Never Again (1983) as this was not deemed an official entry. This is classic Bond without any doubt. And even today they are still memorable, watchable and very enjoyable. Each film has been re-mastered digitally which means that you get a better picture, Dolby sound and a whole host of extras, in fact the extras are better than the previous release 4 years ago as more stuff has been added. The quality of each film has been improved and to watch Dr No which was made in 1962 with this high quality shows how much work was done on each film, on the Dr No disc there is a documentary about the process...

In the late 1950s, we had RUN SILENT, RUN DEEP and THE ENEMY BELOW. In 1981, director Wolfgang Peterson made what is probably the finest one of the genre, DAS BOAT, aka THE BOAT. In 1989, we had THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER with Sean Connery, which many people loved-not me, though. In 2000, there was U-571 which focused on a German U-boat from WW2. And, finally, in 2004, we had K-19: THE WIDOWMAKER, which was based on a true story and starred Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson. One of the best, however, is CRIMSON TIDE, the underwater...

Advantages: It's a Bond movie!
Disadvantages: None worth speaking of.

...Ian Fleming's James Bond series of films has been around now for night on 40 years. Of course, it's had it's highs and lows, but with Pierce Brosnan as the ubiquitous hero, it's back to being near it's best again. However, during the course of a recent pub conversation with other Bond fans, the question was raised: "Which is the best Bond film?" My answer was "Goldfinger" and a recent viewing has only strengthened this point of view. • Pussy Galore: "My name is Pussy Galore" • Bond: "I must be dreaming!" James Bond (Sean Connery) is asked by the Bank of England and "M" of MI6 (Bernard Lee) to discover if Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe), a gold obsessed industrialist, is smuggling gold out of Britain. During the course of his investigation, Bond discovers a much larger and more sinister plot by the villain to cripple the US... Read review

Advantages: Some of the younger cast are quite good
Disadvantages: Sean Connery, the story, the dialogue

...In my experience, there are two rules about comic book adaptations: 1. They have to be bigger and better and more expensive than the last, and 2. They have to be loud, brash and totally unrealistic. It is normally 2 that backfires on people. Loud, brash and unrealistic works sometimes, for example in the X-men franchise, of which I am a huge fan. However, sometimes, it goes completely wrong, as with (so I’m told, I haven’t sampled its delights myself yet) The Avengers, when loud brash and unrealistic turns into annoying, farcical and over-indulged. Q: Name two things The Avengers and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen have in common? A: They both star Sean Connery, and they both fall into the second category. I’m not saying that The League…should never have been made, I’m just saying that whoever’s bright idea it was to turn... Read review

Advantages: Very enjoyable, Music by Queen, good action, good cast, good fun
Disadvantages: Slightly aged but, you hardly notice it.

...I could not believe that only four Ciao members had reviewed the original ‘Highlander’, a decent film which should be given a lot of credit even if it’s sequels weren’t as good. (Saying that Highlander 4: Endgame, wasn’t that bad. This is probably because the writer of the series: Gregory Widen tried to write the fourth instalment with lots of connections to the original). Highlander is a good enjoyable film, it is a fast, action-packed sci-fi adventure with a good main lead characters/actors, and for the year it was made (1986) it had some good special effects. About the movie The film is based on the character ‘Connor MacLeod, an immortal from a far away planet. He has been placed on earth with a number of other immortals to find out who is the greatest. The last immortal left alive will win the almighty prize, which is only... Read review

Advantages: Excellent villain, strong plot
Disadvantages: Slightly over the top with the special effects

...the famous scene from Dr No, where Ursula Andress as Honey Rider emerges in a white bikini while Sean Connery as Bond looks on. Berry gives a very good performance here. Rosamund Pike plays Miranda Frost, Graves' fencing partner and P.A., and and there are good performances from Michael Madsen as Falco and Rick Yune as Zao. Sadly, the death of Desmond Llewelyn in 1999 following a fatal road accident meant that he could not reprise his role as Q. It would have been fitting had he been in the 20th film. John Cleese graduates from R to Q and fills the immense void left by Llewelyn very well, with some typical Q-like comments to Bond. Dame Judi Dench returns as M again, as does Samantha Bond as Miss Moneypenny. The remainder of the cast supports very well. My Opinion Die Another Day is a very good film for many different reasons.

Advantages: Sean Connery, Good storyline, Superb acting
Disadvantages: None that I could think of. (Perhaps Sean Connery's performance made me ignore any cons?)

...enough for a five star rating, but I am trying to be careful about giving ***** ratings because that is the highest rating you can give. However, I am quite firmly swung by the fact that this is Sean Connery. So five stars it is. This is an action movie with heart, one that will have you laughing out loud, but also gripping the edge of your seat with the tension. And anyone who like me appreciates good talent will enjoy this movie.... Read review
