Back to the Future

Advantages: Excellent plot, Some laughs
Disadvantages: None

...Back to the future is one of the greatest films of all time and is definitely gets my vote for being THE best. It was made in 1985 but remains a timeless classic. Everyone should watch this movie at some time during their lives - it's that good! --- the BASICS --- Back to the future is a science fiction film about time travelling, starring Michael Fox and Christopher Lloyd as the 2 main lead characters and directed by Robert Zemeckis. The film has mixed in with it some funny bits and pieces too and it almost makes time travelling makes sense - it actually still doesn't (took me about 10 years to figure out why - read on!). --- the PLOT --- An eccentric scientist affectionately known as doc (Lloyd) has invented the time machine in ultimate style - a Delorean. His only friend, a high school student Marty (Fox), agrees to witnessing...

Back To The Future review

Advantages: Very fun and entertaining from start to finish
Disadvantages: None

...Back to the Future in a science fiction adventure made in 1985 directed by Robert Zemeckis (who also directed Forrest Gump) and stars Michael J. Fix and Christopher Lloyd. Marty McFly (Fox) is an ordinary 17yr old, except for one thing; he has a rather eccentric friend, Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown (Lloyd). One night, he invites him to the local mall in the middle of the night. Marty, being curious, agrees. When he arrives he is met by Doc, who shows him a modified DeLorean car which he says has been made into a time machine. It uses Plutonium to create a nuclear reaction that to generate the power needed to travel through time, and this will only happen once the car reaches 88 miles an hour. Doc shows Marty the time circuits and programs in 1955. Suddenly Libyan terrorists arrive, looking for their Plutonium. They kill Doc, so Marty jumps...

Back to the Future

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...This review is on the 1985, Academy award winning, Back to the Future. Directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg, the films star Michael J. Fox as teenager Marty McFly and Christopher Lloyd as scientist Dr. Emmett L. Brown. This was one of my all time childhood favourites, and to this day is still in my top ten of all time. It had everything one would want from an action film, action, drama, edge of the seat excitement and comedy. I think most people would agree that Back to the Future was a ground breaking Sci-fi film. Everything from the special effects to the storyline would be of much envy of the modern day films. Furthermore, I don't know about anyone else, but the first instalment was by far my favourite, because it was fresh and new, and we as viewers didn't no what to expect. Plot: Marty McFly is a young...

Beautiful Future - Primal Scream

Advantages: Great variety of musical styles and moods, quality songs
Disadvantages: Won't change the world

...In 2008, Primal Scream, who have now been going for a staggering 26 years, released Beautiful Future, their 9th studio album. They started out as part of the Scottish indie scene that gave us Jesus and Mary Chain, but left behind their jingle, jangle sound to take on a more rocky sound. They've been in and out of the charts over the years and have collaborated with various other artists (Kevin Shields from My Bloody Valentine, Barnie Sumner, Robert Plant, The Chemical Brothers to name but a few). There is no way a band can survive 26 years unless they keep moving, morphing, trying new things, whilst maintaining some thread of a story. Not only will most of the audience get bored with them, but they too risk getting stale and disinterested. I guess that Primal Scream have managed to do something different with each of their 9 albums...

Back to the future

Advantages: great entertaining movie at a good pace
Disadvantages: none

...machine?. Then ending the day accidentally sent back to 1955, realising his only way to get 'back to the future' is to find the then Doctor Emmett and convince him of his achievement, which is easier said than done. Unfortunately for Marty, he happens upon his parents, George, (played by Crispin Glover) and Lorraine Baines, (played by Lea Thompson) before they became a couple, seeing first hand how stupid his father is as a teenager. Then, due to some very unlucky events, he soon becomes entangled in many rather complicated events?including the possibility that his own mother may have a crush on him?.???? Marty has more trouble than he can handle, involving a very bad tempered bully named Biff, (played by Thomas F. Wilson) and urgently tries to get back to 1985 before he ruins the chance of his entire existence ever happening...

Back to the future with you, marty!!

Advantages: Great story and acting, groundbreaking and memorable
Disadvantages: None really

...Back to the Future DVD Back To The Future is a film that sits in the hearts of many as a classic of the 1980s, one of those films that 'they just don't make any more'. It is a time-travelling adventure with some intense and panicky acting from Michael J Fox and some quirky mad scientist behaviour from Christopher Lloyd. It was groundbreaking in terms of its scientific ideas when it was released in 1985 to a very receptive audience, and made instant stars of its cast. It also features a glorious soundtrack including Huey Lewis' 'Power Of Love'. The Plot In 1988, teenager Marty McFly meets mad scientist Doc Brown, who claims to have created a machine capable of time travel - the DeLorean, equipped, with funky gadgets and whirring noises! Keen to avert a catastrophe, Marty uses the plutonium-charged car to go back in time - to 1955...

The Futures Bright, The Futures Jimmy's

Advantages: Massively melodic and hugely energetic and entertaining music.
Disadvantages: I fail to think of any.

...Jimmy Eat World formed way back in 1993, however it was not until some years later that they'd become the household name that they are today. They started out small, releasing their first album in 1994 through Wooden Blue Records; it was aptly titled simply 'Jimmy Eat World'. Doesn't appear as though they were awfully creative in their early days then but there you go, they were shortly after snapped up by Capitol and in 1996 released their first album through them, 'Static Prevails'. 'Futures' was their fifth studio album and was released in the year 2004, it has to date sold over 607 000 copies in the U.S. alone and has therefore secured 'Gold' status. 'Pain' was the single chosen to lead this album and also released were the tracks 'Work' and 'Futures'. 'Futures' is perhaps the weakest of those chosen to be singles and proved as...

Future Mortgages - a misunderstood lender

Advantages: An excellent sub prime lender with very competative rates
Disadvantages: They only deal with brokers or mortgage packagers

...Having read every review on this site for Future Mortgages I immediately became disturbed at the reactions and negative feedback that so many people have had towards this particular mortgage lender. However, after digesting each review it became apparent to me that, although they are from personal opinion, and of course, we are all entitled to our opinions, I felt they were unfairly directed towards the mortgage company itself. Many of the complaints were focusing on the high rates and other criteria offered by Future Mortgages, but it seems that the fact they are a sub prime mortgage lender has been forgotten. Sub prime mortgage companies do offer rates higher and sometimes considerably higher than the high street rates as their customer base is made up of people with current or historical adverse credit history. Many people...

Back to the Future III

Advantages: Old west perspective, Good continuity
Disadvantages: Don't like Doc staying in 1885

...Back to the Future Part III is an good ending to the trilogy. It was made in 1990, 4 years after the first one and immediately after the second one. The movie is mainly about tying up loose ends but included an interesting storyline on its own. --- the BASICS --- Back to the Future Part III is a science fiction film about time travelling, starring Michael Fox (Marty) and Christopher Lloyd (Doc) as the 2 main lead characters and directed by Robert Zemeckis. The first film was about the invention of the time machine and Marty travelling by mistake to the year 1955 changing history, while the second one was about Marty and Doc travelling to 2015 to change future history, got their time machine stolen so 1985 was changed when they came back, and they had to travel to 1955 to prevent this alternative 1985 from materialising. At the end...
