S.W.A.T. film review

S.W.A.T. is an very, very, very good film. It is an action film about a S.W.A.T. team and like all action films it is set in LA(Los Angeles, United States). This is a very good film, it is better than James Bond, Mission Impossible, etc, anyway what I'm trying to say it is an awesome film.
It is directed by Clark Johnson and was released in 2003
One of the main characters is played by Samuel L. Jackson, he plays Sgt Hondo(his nickname) who is the leader of the S.W.A.T. team. He plays this role very well and it is nice to see Samuel L. J playing when he was a bit younger. Another of the main characters is Jim Street played by Colin Farrell, he is kind of the big main character as he is the most seen character in the whole film.

The film starts with Street and his partner helping to stop a hostage situation, his partner shoots a hostage by mistake but to help the hostage, he gets fired. Street gets demoted to cleaning boots and repairing guns. Sgt Hondo is commanded to contsruct another S.W.A.T. team. Street is his driver and eventually Hondo asks him to join the team. Street grudgingly accepts.
The team qualify to become a proper S.W.A.T. team. The team eventually are set a big challenge in which they shoot lots of bad guys and cool stuff like that.

I really think you should watch this film if you like action films or even it is just an awesome film.
It doesnt seem to out of date as it was released in 2003. I would give it 10/10.

Prince of Egypt

I watched this film in religous studies in school. It is about the story of Moses with a bit of a tweak. At the start it says
"this is a biblical story that can be found in the bible" duh!. Of course it is in the bible anyway also
"James Bond is a biblical character that can be found in the bible in Timothy 3:14." James Bond is probably more realistic than the bible and a lot better read(or watch)
Right onto the actual film, well it is a film about Moses, I already said and how he grows up in Egypt as Pharoah's son, then he runs away after killing a bad guy. There are some bits in the film where I am pretty sure they wouldn't be in the bible.
I would advise this as a film for kids under the age of 10 to watch as it is educationl ish and child friendly.
6/10

Into the wild

This film overall was good allmost great. The good bits were the beautiful landscapes, making you want to go out camping or something in the wild, etc. The main problem with the film was that you saw him in Alaska for 20 minutes, then you saw him in a flashback for 25 minutes maybe, then you saw him in Alaska for 20 minutes. I would have prefered it if the film had started at the "start" so the first flashback, then the second, so on until he gets to Alaska. Other than that problem it was really good but if it wouldnt have been based on a true story he would have survived at the end of being at Alaska. Its a good film to watch if you like landscapes, films about the wild(countryside, outdoor survival). You can watch the trailer at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVOUJf_ONzc .
Here is the official website which is also in the title of this blog http://www.intothewild.com/.
That is all I have to say.
