Summary: A Superb Action Movie!
Review: I really cant say enough about this movie. It is totally awsome, and few people agree. Many people trash talked this film, critics and audiences alike. And I think that it deserves more recognition. The film doesnt have the best acting, but the acting dont have to be Academy Award calibar. I mean its all about the action, the cars, and dont forget ... Angelina Jolie!The film is about once legend car thief Randal "Memphis" Reins (Nicholas Cage), who, after going straight, must go back into the game in order to save his young brother "Kip" Reins (Giovanni Ribisi, Saving Private Ryan), one last time. He must steal 50 cars in 24 hours! With his old crew, Sway (Angelina Jolie, Girl Interrupted), (Robert Duvall, The Godfather I & II) and Hatley (Will Patton, Armageddon). Along with his new crew including his kid brother Kip (Giovanni Ribisi) and Tumbler (Scott Caan), along with many other stars. This film is action from start to finish, and has a lot of real classic cars. Like the 69 Bearacuda and the 67 Shelby GT 500, this movie is destined to be a classic. And nothing outbeats hearing this on your DVD surround sound kit! If you want to see good action, good acting, and great car chases see Gone in 60 Seconds. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: What's the Problem?
Review: What the heck is the problem? Andy Spletzer and Leonard Maltin made a very poor review of this movie. Gone in 60 seconds is an awesome action/comedy movie that is about some car theifs (one being Nic Cage) that are retired, but came back for his brother. Some other old partners come back to help him. This has good acting by Cage, he is also funny, and cool at the same time. This movie also has an awesome soundtrack. I have no idea why Spletzer and Maltin think this is "mindless" and "stupid". Almost every movie Maltin reviews he calls stupid, and I'm sick of it. I use to respect some his reviews, but now he has lost peoples trust. People who have not seen this, watch it, and don't go by Spletzer and Maltin's review. Hopfilly Amazon will take note to this review. 5/5 *****

Summary: Cars have never looked so sexy!
Review: Gone in 60 Seconds is one of those wonderful movies that really makes you wish you were doing something else with your life. In the same way that Top Gun made you want to become a fighter pilot, Gone in 60 Seconds will have you contemplating taking part in some serious grand theft auto. Which, in retrospect, is perhaps not such a good thing. Nicolas Cage is Randall "Memphis" Raines, a retired car thief persuaded to come back for one last boost to get his younger brother Kip out of trouble with the local gangsters. His objective is to steal fifty cars in just one night, including his unicorn; a 1967 Ford Mustang named Eleanor which he has never been able to get away with before. It's not long before he has assembled his old gang (along with a few new members) and they begin to work out how exactly they are going to pull this off. Pursuing them every step of the way is grizzled Detective Castlebeck (Delroy Lindo) and a gang of rival car thieves angered that Raines got the big job instead of them. The cast is large and varied. Nicolas Cage (The Rock, Con Air) is perfectly at home as Memphis Raines, at first reluctant to take on the job but gradually warming to his old life. As he brushes off his old car-stealing gear and holds up his leather jacket, he says with a touch of vanity and self-mockery, "I am a ba-ad man."
Angelina Jolie (Tomb Raider) is the token love interest Sway, who is included in the group because she's an expert with Ferrari's. In reality, she doesn't really do much except stand around and pout quite a lot.
Former soccer hard man Vinnie Jones (Snatch) is the silent but hard-as-nails Sphinx. Although he only actually says one sentence at the end of the film, his mere presence provides some great moments. Note his reaction when he finds a dog has eaten his car keys.
Robert Duvall (Falling Down, Sixth Day), as old mechanic Otto, brings more dignity than the film really deserves, with his usual quiet and understated performance. Out of all the characters, his is probably the only one which bears a resemblance to a real person.
Giovani Ribisi (Saving Private Ryan) plays young Kip Raines. To be honest, he's quite annoying, both as an actor and as a character, consistently squelching through his lines. It's to Cage's credit that he manages not to look too annoyed with the guy. But for all the characters in the film, they are more or less superfluous to the cars themselves. That much is obvious when we first see Eleanor, as the camera pans lovingly over the cars bodywork.
The first half of the movie is mostly exposition, with Memphis being incredibly organised and clever. There is a fairly standard chase and fight scene early on, just to keep the action level up. It's a Bruckheimer film, don't you know! It's really the last twenty minutes where the film really, please excuse the pun, shifts into top gear. As Memphis desperately tries to steal Eleanor (the last car on the list) with Castlebeck and an army of cops in hot pursuit. The final car chase is truly a job to behold, perfectly staged and executed, long and varied, and underscored with the ultra cool music score. Cars crash, but interestingly do not explode, which is rare for a Bruckheimer film. Still, it also ensures that none of the good guys get hurt.
It's kind of a shame that after such an adrenaline fuelled burning of rubber, the film ends in a fairly standard gunfight that lacks any sense of tension. After all he's been through, you know that Memphis won't come to harm. I gave this film five stars because, even though some of the characters grate and the plot isn't very strong, it's just impossible not to love this film. Although Bruckheimer has never been one for deep characterisations or subtle sub-plots, by God he knows how to get the pulses racing. This movie is an essential buy for anyone that knows a quality film.

Summary: Firing on all clyinders
Review: Gone in 60 seconds is a adrenaline rush that grabs you from the very beginning and never lets go. But few people know that its a remake of a 1974 Classic where nearly 100 cars are destroyed in the 40 minute chase scene between a 1973 Mustang Mach 1 and the entire city of long beach. But we arent talking about that now are we? Bottom line: this is the coolest car movie out there right now, the fast and the furious comes close, but not quite. The assignment is to steal 50 Exotic beauties in 72 hours or Cage's brother gets the axe. Cool huh? With cars ranging from a 1967 Corvette to a Lamborghini Diablo. And the final car, which is none other than a 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500. The sexiest car in existance. This is a guy movie, no doubt about it. But it, watch it. Then dream of Porsches and Shelbys...

Summary: Ab Fab
Review: Gone in 60 seconds and I was.... The colours, the quality, the sounds, fantastic. Nick and Ange actors of great skill. If you have not seen this film you must, car chases are excellent, well OK the chase at the end was a little bit far fetched but other than that STUNNING.

Summary: Not Enough Angelina Jolie
Review: If you're reading this review to determine the depths of acting muster displayed in the film, then you obviously haven't seen it yet.... If you've read any of my other film reviews then you know that I'm an Angelina Jolie fan and I've recently added this to my collection of Jolie films on DVD. Reviewed as an Angelina Jolie film - Three stars for this one and that's because Angelina doesn't show up for about half an hour and then, she's barely featured - don't buy into the DVD cover or movie poster that feature her prominently. She's just the best looking cast member. First - the DVD. The interfaces are pretty cool. Lots of nice graphics and car sounds. It gets a little tired if you're spending some time just zooming around the features though. A small interview with Angelina Jolie is featured under the "Old School" catagory of the special features. It's short, though, so be warned. The most you get out of it was that Angelina Jolie came up with the whole "look" of Sway ( that character she plays in the film )...which, I'm thinking, was probably more fun for her than the limited acting she was asked to do. As far as the film itself, it's an okay movie. It's no masterpiece. It's basically a little plot wrapped around a lot of stunt car chases. Nothing wonderous or even particularily original. The plot revolves around Nicolas Cage and his "old school" gang of car theives having to do one last big run in order to save his younger brother from a ... well, this is starting to sound much more complex than the movie lets on so I'll stop here before I give something away. Needless to say, Nicholas Cage has made better films. Mostly he's talking in that "8mm" whispered voice that's supposed to make him seem mature and deep. It doesn't exactly work, I mean, the guys a car thief. For those gearheads out there ( and I mean that affectionately ) there are some very cool cars featured. Notably the Shelby GT. Very cool. Ferarri's are featured ( Angelina says "hello ladies" ) as are just about every really "hot" sports car. You just get a glimpse of most of them, though. Note that none of the cars are suped-up or special a la "The Fast and The Furious" but the cars featured here are actually a shopping list, not a personal vehicle. Robert Duvall is featured - he's doing that "Days of Thunder" talking to the car thing he's apparently mastered. Giovanni Ribisi is along for the ride if you'll pardon the pun. He's done a lot of better work than this. See "Saving Private Ryan" if you want to realize a bit of his depth. Back to Angelina Jolie's performance..."phoned in" would be appropriate. I'm not even sure why she'd take a part like this, with so little character. She's got the look ( which she apparently defined ) and she's nice to look at...when we get that chance. I'll remind you that she's not on screen all that often. In all, she's probably only got 20 minutes or so of screen time. To make an obtuse Angelina Jolie jump - the character she plays here could very well be the older incarnation of "Legs" from Foxfire ( a much, much better Angelina Jolie film ). They appear to wear the same boots <G>. So, yes, this is a must have for the completist, but everyone else should probably just wait for it on cable. Special DVD Easter Egg Note : The information regarding an Easter Egg on this DVD is not true. There is a 1974 original version of this film available on DVD and that DVD does contain an Easter Egg, this version does not. Best Regards,

Summary: The (second) Most Gawdawful Movie I've Ever Seen
Review: After watching it three times (It was all they were showing on the China-US and US-Canada flights! Except for one flight where they showed Chicken Run!), I have to say this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen! Pretty much the entire point was to glorify car stealing and to show off a busty blonde with blowfish-lips. It was so stupid and boring I never got to the end, every single time I just took off my headphones about half-way through and continued to read Lord of the Rings. When a fourteen-year-old girl would rather read Lord of the Rings (looooong...) than watch a movie, you know that movie must be really really awful.
