Bullseye! (1990)
An absolute humdinger of a movie!
13 July 2000
Winner really has hit the jackpot with this Bullseye!

The idea of pitting a good Moore & Caine against their evil counterparts can only be described as a stroke of genius. They act out both parts with the kind of style and charisma you would expect from these screen legends. They play off one another beautifully and you can't help being entertained.

Surely this was the film that they were both destined to be in, for them this is what acting is all about.

You have to credit Winner for the way in which he has drawn out such stirling performances from his two stars. They have not only cemented their megastar status here but have surely passed into the realm of screen legends. Class just oozes from their every pore.

This must surely go down as Winners 'Piece De Resistance' this is top drawer directing and you know eeeeeeeet.

If you haven't seen this film, make it top of your 'must see' list.

Also why not get 'Parting Shots' starring Chris 'Monkey' Rea it's doomsick tribes.

Parting Shots (1998)
10/10
Fantastic!
12 July 2000
I thought that Parting Shots was a superb film. Not only was it an extremely original, witty script but the acting on display was of the finest calibre. (Chris Rea in particular) Rea is not only a talented singer and musician but showed here that he can excel an actor when working with material of the highest quality. Winner has shown yet again that he is a master of his trade. Best Bit:- Has to be the shooting on the moor. Well choreographed, and very believable.

Death Wish 3 (1985)
The Greatest Film Ever Made
12 July 2000
Wow! What a movie! I can't get over how much I enjoy it! I watch this movie time and time again and enjoy it more and more. This is by far and way the best of the Death Wish series.

The directing is superb, (particularly the scene with Charles and Ed Lauter patrolling the streets shooting punks to a funky 70's soundtrack.)Winner builds up just the right amount of tension, action, humour and emotion at exactly the right moments. There is a high standard of acting on display here. Apart from Charles's flawless performance, there is a career best from Ed Lauter here as the vigilante cop. The plot is superbly written, the only drawback is, it was too short! (I hope they bring out a DVD version with extra scenes soon) Best Bit:- Hard to choose, there are so many classic scenes. Lookin for trouble ma'an? (You'll know what I mean when you see the film) Best Line:- Tell you what I'm gonna do. I'll kill a little old lady, just for you. Catch it on the 6 o'clock news!
