Bunty Aur Babli 2 was a very disappointing film. It was so bad. Sharvari and Siddhant Chaturvedi got more screen time than Saif and Rani. We did not see any of the brilliant and phenomenal chemistry between Saif and Rani in this film. Such a big mistake, this film should of centred on Saif and Rani and not the newcomers. This movie was a cheap and boring film. No wonder this movie was a big flop and a disaster at the box office.

This film started off OK as Bruce Willis plays a psychiatrist but after a client throws herself out the window and is killed he flees to another psychiatrist played by Scott Bakula as (Bobby Moore) I was really disappointed that he wasn't in this film long but I'm not going to give away what happens. In this film a group therapy session of people are involved in two of the murders and we the audience have to figure who the culprit is in one of them. This film got so boring and confusing towards the end and I just simply didn't care anymore. Bruce Willis plays (Bill Capa) who soon gets involved and is seduced by Jane March – one of the worst actresses I've ever seen. This film didn't really thrill me but if you're a Bruce Willis fan I don't know if you want to bother with this but Colour of night was a total letdown.

I remember what an overlooked gem this was to the overrated Escape from New York but this one's much better. One of the coolest and best films of the late 1970's. I saw this cult film when it came out in the 80's on VHS.

The characters are real and I thought Michael Beck's portrayal of swan a tough no- nonsense leader of the Warriors gang was excellent he was definitely the star of this film. I also think Mercy played by (Deborah Van Valkenburgh) was feisty with an attitude to match and a girl who took no crap from anyone was really amazing in this role. This film is about a gang trying to get home through New York's subway but spend the rest of the movie fighting off other gangs who follow them and who think the warriors were in on the killing of Cyrus. The Warriors didn't hurt anyone but in many of the fight sequences they used knives but that was only in self-defence.

One of the best effective moments I remember is in the 'Train Home' scene where the gang are heading back home to Coney Island New York. Mercy is sitting aside Swan and there just looking out like theirs no care in the world in that moment these four high school couples who've just come from a prom sit opposite Swan and Mercy. They're laughing and talking among each other but soon stop and look towards Mercy and how she's dressed I found this scene to be really sad and nasty. Mercy was thinking how dirty she looked and I felt it was so sad. In that scene I really felt for her she was just about to fix her hair up neatly but Swan stopped her he was just saying 'don't do this because of them she tried to ignore it but couldn't. I liked it when he scared off those high school prom nerds in their next stop they got off the train. Swan had said he didn't like what she did for a living because she's a whore. But towards the end he accepted her and she wanted to be something better Mercy didn't care how she earned money to her she had nothing and that's the only thing she's got to survive on.

I liked this films setting with its dirty looking streets filled with an array of different looking gangs but one gang stood out from them all The Warriors. The fights, classic one liners, and the dark atmosphere were perfect. An exciting and adrenalin rush of a great film you'll enjoy watching this because it's a classic. The music is excellent and so is the plot. If you haven't seen this film yet than you are missing out on something really special. 10/10

Set just before the Rodney King verdict and the 1992 race riots. Dark Blue revolves around Eldon Perry the tough talking hot tempered LAPD cop who'll do anything to get the bad guys off the streets. If that means giving false evidence,lying,and getting the wrong criminals instead of the right ones then that's what he'll do. Eldon came from a family of gunfighters (like his father and grandfather) they were both L.A. lawmen themselves and Eldon is proud to live up to that.

The newcomer to the SIS department is Bobby Keough and Eldon is determined to his new partner his methods of getting the guy - regardless of his innocence by using intimidation and corruption. But the way Bobby sees this as wrong and it doesn't sit with him at all. Soon Eldon and Bobby clash when they're assigned to a case by their boss Jack Van Metre (Gleeson) who is head of the SIS department. Van Metre orders them to get the criminals behind convenience store robbery which left four innocent people dead this took place in the first half of the film. But Van Metre wants Eldon to pin it on 2 other innocent criminals who aren't the real culprits.

Eldon knows the actual killers are connected to his boss but he doesn't know that the guy he trusts and admires Van Metre is the man behind this crime and many others. Jack was Eldon's father's former partner and friend and Eldon has no idea that he is being used to carry out Van Metre's dirty work. The only person who knows that Van Metre is corrupt is police chief Arthur Holland (Ving Rhames).He is the only one who wants to bring down Van Meter and his department.Holland also knows that Eldon is a crooked cop responsible for many crimes and so he seeks to find the right evidence to lock him away.

Kurt Russell gives an excellent portrayal of the morally corrupt and emotionally messed up Eldon Perry. Kurt brings Eldon to life and he does a very good job of it. He doesn't play it over the top like Denzel did in Training Day. Eldon is not a perfect cop or husband but Russell is able to portray a character with problems so believably. Eldon is tough on anyone who don't approve of his methods. As Eldon says:'at the end of the day the bullets are in the bad guys' and thats the way he sees it. Eldon's partner played by Scoot Speedman is excellent as well as Eldon's naive partner. Bobby believes in doing good as the honest cop but he feels pressure to fit in and he desperately wants to please Eldon. As a good guy that he is Bobby is forced in to a situation he is shocked at what has happened but shuts his mouth. Ving Rhames and Michael Michelle are very good in their roles as the good cops.

Again I must say that Kurt Russell's performance took me by surprise. In one scene i can remember there he is with vulnerability in his piercing blue eyes when Eldon is talking to his wife Sally played by the fantastic Lolita Davidovich in a small role. She's lost all respect and love for him and the way it's shown is very real and heartbreaking.

Spoiler- There's one scene I liked when Eldon presents his case to his boss and Van Metre completely tears him apart you can see the humiliation in Eldon's eyes. In the final showdown Eldon is giving a speech.It seems like his all over the place and his feeling all emotions at once as he faces his demons.Eldon is a tough creature that i almost found myself disgusted by him but I felt sympathy for him. I really believed Russell in his bitterness, rage, sadness, his guilt,and his compassion.

Dark Blue deserves to be the film that earns Kurt Russell recognition he rightly deserves. Kurt has been an underrated veteran actor for many years in his 40-year career. Kurt gives one of his best performances in this film. He really deserves to be at the top the A-List in his own right.

Kurt Russell never fails to give an excellent performance he is perfect as Wyatt Earp.Val Kilmer is terrific as Wyatt's friend Doc Holiday. Wyatt and his brothers arrive with their wives in tombstone looking for a peaceful place to settle down. Dana Delaney is the beautiful lady Wyatt falls for though his already married. His wife is a drug addict and Wyatt's marriage doesn't seem to be working out the way he hoped it could have. Wyatt is in retirement but Doc isn't but soon trouble comes in the form of an outlaw gang called "the cowboys" wearing red scarves tied to their belts. They cause all kinds of trouble wherever they go. One night they kill the town sheriff and then they bring their revenge and kill Wyatt's brother Morgan, Wyatt comes out of his retirement for good and becomes US marshal and he wants revenge too. Soon a shootout takes place and even Doc gets in on the action as well.

Spoiler- my favourite scene in the film was when Wyatt walks in to the "Oriental" bar and sees from afar Thornton making a scene and shooting his mouth off. Thornton is acting like a bully with the other person his playing poker with. Wyatt gets up and has a confrontation with Thornton and then slaps him round the face. Thornton has no idea whom his crossed as he wipes blood from his mouth and Wyatt says:'Are you going to just stand there or bleed'(something like that.)Thonton then gets thrown out by Wyatt.Classic!

This is one of the best western shootouts I've ever seen I'm not usually a big fan of western cowboy films but it has a good believable story about real people I'll watch it. Tombstone was very enjoyable and the film was brilliantly acted there were no boring scenes throughout the entire film it was a great ride.Dont miss this you will not be disappointed with an all male cast including Kurt Russell,Val Kilmer,Bill Paxton,Michael Biehn,Sam Elliot,Billy Zane, and loads more then you cant go wrong with this one.

The Thing is the most intense and shocking horror films I've ever seen it has the most goriest scenes you will never have seen in any other horror films before.Some scenes are still even scarier today.The Thing is about a group of Arctic researchers who discover an alien has been buried underneath the ice for over 100,000 years.Soon unfrozen the shape-changing creature begins to imitate anything it comes into contact with.

Spoiler - In the beginning we are introduced to Mac playing with the talking computer chess woman.Mac likes to drink and in this scene he is quite competitive but unfortunately he loses to the computer.Mac is not too pleased and destroys the computer's circuits with the drink along with the ice cubes.

Kurt Russell as Macready is incredibly believable and excellent in his role as the boozing helicopter pilot. Macready isn't so keen on taking the lead but reluctantly assumes control of the group. Mac has accepted what's happened while the other guys are going nuts although he is terrified he is courageous as well. Mac is a realist when he thinks something has to be done he just does it and his prepared.Mac is someone we all want in situations like this.

I also want to give credit to the actors Keith David,Richard Masur,Donald Moffat,Wilford Brimley,David Clennon,Thomas Waites,Chris Hallahan,and Richard Dysart etc were all excellent and believable as the men facing the terrifying situation.I liked the way the film developed seeing the 12 men portraying their fear and paranoia of each other and suspecting Mac could be "The Thing." Even though the film failed at the box office it's now gained recognition and a huge cult following among fans and it's well deserved

I was only 2 years old when this film came out but I've seen it now and I've really grown to like this film with every viewing. I guess this film is shocking for the very first time you see it but its a great film and worth watching.The Thing is a serious film with very little comedy but there are some really great scenes, which made me laugh.The horror films now have changed so much that a look so unrealistic.The Thing is a classic and a sheer masterpiece and 20 years later it's still one of the best horror films ever made.

Jack Warden plays a double role as 2 feuding brothers; one is the good brother Luke Fuchs who dies of a heart attack.Rudy and his pals bury him underneath the car lot.The other brother is the bad brother Roy L.Fuchs who also owns a car lot and competing with Luke's car lot.We are next introduced to Luke's ace salesman Rudy Russo played by Kurt Russell who's a long way from his Disney films starring in this hilariously funny comedy with plenty of laughs.Rudy is a charming conniving,liar and a cheat who has an ambition to go in to politics.He soon promotes his most outrageous adverts and hires models to strip on TV so he can pull in more customers in.

Spoiler-There are many great classic scenes including the scene where Rudy meets Barbara Luke's daughter and starts flirting with her.The hand gag was hilarious when Rudy accidentally jams his hand and shuts the car door without realizing and screams out in pain.

Kurt was brilliant in this film he looked very handsome and charming as Rudy and very enjoyable as the conman Kurt was great fun to watch from start to finish.The chemistry between Rudy and Barbara was great too even if they were different people, he was the liar and cheat and she was the honest sweet girl.Used Cars is a great fun film and a much under appreciated film.If you like films with plenty of laughs than this film is for you.Kurt Russell was so good in this film.
