Cowboy Bebopping the movie

Advantages: Memorable characters, excellent animation
Disadvantages: Music is all Jazz. Bounty hunters again? Man...

...significant role than Jet, but the script could of easily have been adjusted to be watched without them at all (they arethe ones who lead Faye into finding Vincent). You can tell a massive amount of time and effort was put into animating and bringing this movie to life. The illusion of movement is extremely realistic (especially during the intro, that was amazing how they animated that). True that as a Japanese animation some things were exaggerated, but overall they made the illusion of gravity, applied the laws of physics extremely well. The fluid motion also requires it to all be clear and sharp. This is important since it is going to be on DVD (I got the video tape but its a very high quality video tape) so if there are any discrepencies then you'll see it. Now I've always wondered why they call it Cowboy Bebop. Well apparently the Cowboy...

Cowboy Bebop ! The insane future

Advantages: Great Anime, great audio, epic space battles it has it all !
Disadvantages: There is nothing bad

...Bepop, hence the name of the title. What's interesting about them is the fact that you don't have any idea about their pasts or who they are, you sorta just get thrown into the action. The series follows the exploits of these two guys. And as they go through the expanses of space, they try to hunt down fugitives in order to sustain living the life of a "cowboy". Along the way, they meet up with a voluptuous female gambler, Faye Valentine, with an equally shadowy (and once you find out, quite lucrative) past, and a very kooky and just plain funny female hacker known as "Ed". Oh, and by the way, they sorta come across a really intelligent dog, a welsh corgie to be precise, known as "Ein". This is the premise of Cowboy Bebop. This ragtag band of bounty hunters is what this anime is all about. I thoroughly enjoyed this series as it took...

Review of Cowboy Bebop - Vol. 1 (Animated) (DVD)

"Bang."

Advantages: Funny, exciting and entertaining jazzy fun.
Disadvantages: Essentially a long episode, but you guessed that right?

...Overview The "Cowboy bebop" movie is based on the short running but massively popular anime series of the same name. Therefore to fans of the series this an essential purchase. To non-fans the plot is self explanatory and doesn't require any specialist series knowledge to follow. Review Most people looking to buy this film will be so fond of the series that I could write that it was worse than Son of the Mask and Battlefield Earth put together and they still woudn't care, they'd buy it anyway. Well happily it isn't, but unfortunately it isn't as good as it could have been. The reason for such devout fans is that Cowboy Bebop is an outstanding series that everyone should try to see at some point. Style is the name of the game. Cowboy bebop drips style from every pore. And like some sort of anime Fawlty Towers they only made 26...

Review of Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (Animated) (DVD)

Midnight Cowboy

Advantages: For lovers of the film, the period or the music of John Barry.
Disadvantages: A bit too easy listening for some

...Midnight Cowboy was director John Schlesinger's 1969 classic Oscar winning masterpiece portraying the shattered optimism of the American dream starring Jon Vought (father of Angelina Jolie) as male-prostitute Joe Buck and Dustin Hoffman as his sleazy scheming friend Enrico 'Ratso' Rizzo. The film follows Texan Joe as he naively sets off for New York to earn his fortune as a hustler. Upon arrival he finds little success and things only get worse when he befriends greasy con-merchant Rizzo. This album is a true soundtrack of the film in that, unlike many modern soundtracks, it truly follows the sequence of events in the film rather than just being a collection of hit songs banged together and added to the movie after it's finished. The original version of Harry Nilsson's "Everybody's Talking" appears just as it was in the film as...

Review of Midnight Cowboy - Original Soundtrack

They arent super heroes, but they get the job done

Advantages: great plot, character development, sound track and visuals
Disadvantages: A tad dated looking now, but its still a classic amoung anime fans

...The first dvd boxset of cowboy bebop features the first season of the show which includes a dual language version of the first thirteen episodes named after famous songs of the western world as well as songs featured on the show itself which include "sympathy for the devil" and "bohemian rhapsody". The story follows the lives of five bounty hunters living on an old space trawler called "the bebop". The owner of the ship is Jet Black (mid 30s) and ex cop with a prosthetic arm, he is the father figure of the group and seems to be in a constant state of worry and nagging when the others come home late or wounded. The other members include Spike speigal (mid 20s), an ex syndicate member of the red dragon group with a false eye, Faye Valentine (mid 20s) a pro gambler with amnesia who was caught up in a huge space gate accident...

Midnight Cowboy : A piece of cinematic genius from all involved

Advantages: Superb acting & directing, highly atmospheric, something for everyone
Disadvantages: None whatsoever

...MAIN CAST: Joe Buck (John Voight) Rico ?Ratso? Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) Cass (Sylvia Miles) Shirley (Brenda Vaccaro) Mr O?Daniel (John McGiver) Sally Buck (Ruth White) RELEASED: June 1969 RUNNING TIME: 1hr, 56mins DIRECTOR: John Schlesinger PRODUCER: Jerome Hellman SCREENPLAY: Waldo Salt Midnight Cowboy is a 1969 movie adaptation of James Leo Herlihy?s novel of the same name, and I believe this novel was first published at some point in the early 1960s. My first viewing of the film Midnight Cowboy was in about 1973-ish when it was doing its second cinema run in the UK. I?d recently read the novel, and hadn?t been too impressed with it. I was thus a little dubious as to whether I?d like the movie or not, but was persuaded by my ex-husband (who?d seen it before I met him) to trot along to the cinema with him, he...

Review of Midnight Cowboy (DVD)

Cowboys and Indians Abbott & Costello style

Advantages: Good routines, some good songs and fun story
Disadvantages: A bit of an oddity by todays standards

...than 25 films. Ride ?Em Cowboy sees Abbott and Costello playing two hotdog and peanut sellers at a rodeo show in New York. Duke (Bud) and Willoughby (Lou) are their normal incompetent selves and soon find themselves trying to get away from their boss. In doing so they soon find themselves on a dude ranch employed as cowboys, something they are really not good at. Mixed into the plot is the famous singer ?Bronco? Bill (Dick Foran) and the girl he falls for, who is also the daughter of the owner of the ranch. She thinks he is a fraud because he has built himself a reputation as a rooting tooting cowboy, when it is all made up so he has a great stage persona. Bill?s only chance to win her over is to help the ranch out. Throw in a bunch of crooks and some Indians after Willoughby because he inadvertently proposed to a squaw and you have all...

Review of Ride 'Em Cowboy (DVD)

Howdy cowboy!

Advantages: a great little toy for 18 months plus
Disadvantages: none

...The clip clop cowboy is a really fun little toy from Tomy and both my two little girls really love it. It is made from sturdy plastic and comprises of a bright yellow horse ridden by a cowboy. The colours are really bright and it is a really attractive toy. The best thing about this toy though is not what it looks like but what it does. If your child presses down on the cowboy's hat you hear a loud neigh from the horse who then proceeds to take his cowboy for a ride. The horse and cowboy travel for about a distance of one metre before stopping with another neigh! As it moves, all the horse legs are moving up and down and so is its head while all the time you cah hear it clip clop! It is great fun to watch (if you're two!) and great fun to chase after as well! Both sounds and movement are fairly realistic. Tomy say that it is...

Review of Space Cowboys (DVD)

Space Cowboys

Advantages: Big stars, some comedy, well acted
Disadvantages: A little too long

...What can I say - Space Cowboys!! The not so big hit of 2000 starring Clint Eastwood (who also directed and produced the film), Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland and James Garner (yes he is still alive!!). The film starts by showing our four heroes as young (yep in the 50s) pilots and engineers working on the supersonic/space testing program for the American airforce. Suddenly withdrawn from the program because of NASA deciding to send a monkey into space they all go their separate ways. Forty years on our not so young heroes are asked to help out with an ailing Russian communications satellite. By using blackmail they manage to convince the world that they are the only ones able to fix the satellite and must therefore be allowed to finally fulfil their dream of going into space (why they couldn't just pay $14 million like everyone...
