 ... grotty hotel and finds a map, assumingly leading to a beautiful paradise island, which he is determined to find. He even manages to encourage some fellow travellers to assist him (one of whom he fancies)!!! When they eventually arrive at the island, they find it to be amazing. However, things soon become horribly out of control and frightening. The acting was great and had me sitting on the edge of my seat for ages. Tilda Swinton was very scary though!! The scenery was also stunning and has made me want to exper...more

As with everything I try to write about recently, there is no category for the new release "28 Days Later" - I could have sworn there was, but there you go. I have chosen this category to put my review in as it was the last film done by the same director and writer, and I was damned if I was going to bin my words after putting the effort into writing them. As always, I apologise for this. Released on Halloween, "28 days later" had assumed the top spot in the UK Box Office charts within a week of release, having taken a massive £1.5m by November 5th - this is despite having an 18 certificate and being up against Disney's ...  Read the complete review

Many films are hyped so much before the release that you feel you have actually seen the film before it is released. This was very much the case with 'The Beach', and I was not expecting any surprises. Based on the novel by Alex Garland, and brought to us by the team behind 'Trainspotting', 'Shallow Grave' and 'Life Less Ordinary', who are director Danny Boyle, producer Andrew MacDonald, and script writer John Hodge, so you may expect the film to have some dry wit in amongst the plot, and it is there but in small doses. After failing to attain the same success as he did in 'Titanic', Leonardo De Caprio was quoted ...  Read the complete review

Well thats 2 hours of my life I'm never going to see again, depressing isn't it - sorry if you liked the movie yourselves and it isn't 'that' bad but I'm a big fan of the book and although some movies of books leave out little bits of the storyline, this movie absolutely slaughtered the book. But its a review of the movie you've all clicked to see so its a review of the movie you're going to get, a quick insight into the storyline of the movie, a young American backpacker named Richard decides that he wants to visit Thailand in search of a different way of life, upon arriving he finds that although hes in a completely different ...  Read the complete review

I’m afraid that this movie attempts to glorify and rewrite a novel that really did not need to be rewritten. Leonardo was not in my opinion the right person for his part, he is too clean shaven and pretty boy, where as in the book his character on the island had full facial hair and long hair because they did not have the facilities on the island to shave or cut their hair. And in the book at no point does Richard come close to snogging any of the women, let alone Sal. The point in the film where Richard and Sal go to the Main Island does not happen at all in the book. There are also controversial points in the book especially at the end that are missing in the  Read the complete review

The Beach (DVD): Don't compare a DVD movie with a book (199 words)

Now this is how a DVD should be presented. Good looking graphics and menus is what first meets your eye and that sets the standard for the rest of the disc. Extra features included on the disc are 8 scenes that were cut out from the movie shown in the cinemas and a thorough bibliography of actors in the movie. When I ordered the DVD I did it because I wanted to see how they managed to capture the feel of Thailand and the feel of being on a remote island. That they did very well. I guess that the 5.1 sound an anamorphic format helped a bit. I read half of the book ages ago and I was amazed how much I recognized from my own travelling in Thailand.
