Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (DVD)

Feel good time? That is the question. This year is set to go through the greatest number of sequels ever released at once. With X-2 hitting the silver screens in May, 2 Fast 2 Furious next, T3 will be arriving within the next fortnight and with other trilogy/sequels being released into the movie-world like the Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions, Charlie?s Angels 2: Full Throttle half-heartedly tagged along. The advertising strategies for other Sequel Summer movies have been as cheap as Aaron Spelling?s mansion (which I have seen ? completely irrelevant, I just wanted to boast) with teaser trailers giving us a sneak preview of the blockbuster ...  Read the complete review

Yes, I was bored. I admit it, and it was a choice of this or "Bruce Almighty". However, I watched the first Charlie's Angels movie and I liked it! The first movie was an enjoyable no brain popcorn romp featuring three beautiful women kicking ass in skimpy outfits while performing Matrix-lite kung fu. Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle is like that, but there's more. Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (CAFT from now on) suffers from sequelitis. Sometimes, this is a good thing (Aliens, Terminator 2, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey) and sometimes it's a bad thing (Matrix: Reloaded, Beverley Hills Cop 2, Predator 2). Returning for a second ...  Read the complete review

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle is the sequel to the 2000 film, Charlie's Angels. It was released in 2003 and in 2005; it was the first film to be released on Blu-ray.

Charlie's Angels Full Throttle is the second in the Charlie's Angels films. For anyone who doesn't know, Charlie's Angels are 3 women, Natalie, Dylan and Alex (played by Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu) who work undercover for the elusive Charlie. The films are based on the TV series from the 70's (I think), and neither the films nor the series reveal Charlie's face, all communication is done via a telephone speaker. The Plot This film begins in Outer Mongolia, where the Angels have been sent to rescue US Marshal Ray Carter (Robert Patrick) who has been kidnapped and his ring stolen. Shortly after he is rescued, a second man ...  Read the complete review

Yesterday, I had a child-free few hours, so went out with Emily (Ophelia). One of the things we did was to go to the cinema and see the new Charlie’s Angels film. I loved the original TV series (with ‘my’ Angels being Cheryl Ladd, Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson) and had bought the video of the first film, but I still haven’t got round to watching it! Emily had and assured me it was really good, so we were both looking forward to seeing the sequel. I have read lots of film reviews on Ciao and Dooyoo and had found a lot of them rather negative, but I tried not to expect anything and came out of the cinema thoroughly entertained. It was a ...  Read the complete review
