High Explosive (2001)
Hich Explosive isn't a very good movie, but one can't say, that it's bad! Especially its nice for the guys who like watching beasts
High explosive, is a normal action movie. It could have been better, if the screenplay had been overworked for two or three more times and if a star like Arnold Schwarzenegger would have been starring in it.
The film is about two UN-Workers, who do their job in a very dangerous country. Suddenly a civil war breaks out and they have to escape. But a corrupt soldier wants to catch them. You see, the idea of the film is good, but the story should have been overworked.
The best actor/actress in this film is Nina Muschallik. 'Cause she looks really sexy (what makes the film much better ^^), but the actors aren't very convincing at all. I think they should collect some more experience.
This film contains some nice special effects, as its title promises. The explosions and stunts are really grate, one could compare them with the ones of the best Hollywood-movies.
I can't tell you more about this movie, but I can recommend it to all the fans of explosive Action-movies.
Arabian Adventure (1979)
Nice movie
Director Kevin Connor shot a nice movie for 4.000.000 US$: Arabian Adventure. If one keeps in mind that this film was produced a long time before CGI and for such a "low" budget (if one compares is with other ones), one could say that this film is really successful and a great fun to watch.
The story is a simple fairy of Arabic nights and one night. A young hero loves the attractive daughter of a bad magician. To marry this young lady he has to find a talisman and bring it to the father of this princess. Some of his friends help him to do this job, but one of this "helpers" is a traitor. After a long journey, a lot of dangers and fights he marries his princes and everybody is happy ...
The actors aren't that good, many of them haven't a lot of experience and in those days the stunts were not as successful as they are today. But all in all they were OK.
If the team had the technical possibilities of today, the special effects would have been quiet good. But for those days, they were really successful.
The set-design and the clothes were really very good. One can't say anything against them.
I highly recommend this film to all fairy fans. The film keeps what the title promises, it's a real Arabian Adventure.
