That’s if your a petrol head, otherwise this is just a glimpse into the fashions of 1974.
This is the H.B.Halicki (The Junckman 1982) classic chase movie that inspired the 2000 Nicholas Cage, Angelina Jolie remake.

Silver Linings Playbook DVD Release Review *----

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey: DVD review *****

Cert 12 | 166 mins

If only, (Sighs Deeply) I could give this 1000 out of 5, I would.
5 Star film all the way.
Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings trilogy) is the god of making epics and this first episode of the Hobbit (J.R.R. Tolkien) is just showing the others how it is done.
(Take notice those thinking of doing Star Wars episodes)
Gandalf (Ian McKellan –…more
