The OC with super-powers

Advantages: feel-good show, family values etc
Disadvantages: predictable, simple stories and wooden acting

Smallville started in 2001 and follows the story of a young Clark Kent (Tom Welling), his progression through and problems he encounters along the way. The pilot episode starts off by showing the meteor storm in which Clark arrived and the destruction caused by this, of which Clark later feels guilty about. The meteors not only cause devastation but they also spray kryptonite all over Smallville, making people acquire special powers in Smallville ...
...we discover a resident of smallville has been infected by meteor rock (kryptonite) enabling them to have special powers. They usually are in dire need for help and / or are using this power selfishly and for no good. It is up to Clark and his trusting friends (who are unaware of his powers) to help and stop the 'meteor freaks'. The overarching storyline usually consists of Clark's growth and realisation of his powers, starting in the pilot episode ...

Review of Smallville - Series 1 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

00Heaven?

Advantages: fresh approach to bond
Disadvantages: not the classic bond attitude

As I was lucky enough to get this movie on blu-ray for free from Sony, I had to watch it in high definition. Truly stunning, awesome quality on a pretty good bond movie. It has enough action in, and is generally a good movie, however I feel that Sony have placed too much in-movie advertising.. the sony viao laptops, the sony ericsson phones, and the sony blu-ray player and discs. But if you're into the movie you wont notice that, it doesnt exactly ...
...Daniel Craig plays in beautifully, although he's not quite the same 007 as what I am used to.It's the littel things really, for example when he is asked shaken or stirred... shaken right?... no apparently he doesnt give a damn. The movie gets straight into action, and then calms down, and then action, and calm and then action... it goes up and down over and over. But the ending is good and I'll not give away any spoilers. Now if I didn't get this ...

Review of Casino Royale (Blu-Ray)

Alias but disappointingly not like I know it

Advantages: Great acting by Jen Garner and cast
Disadvantages: Missed Vaughn's characters, ending felt somewhat rushed

...been a big fan of Alias since Season 1, so much so that I order all the DVD boxsets from Amazon.com so I get them before they are released here! I think Alias Series 5 had both low points and high points, so here goes my review. Series 5 was announced to be the last season of Alias , so I was hoping for a big spectacular finish, nice wrapping up all of the storylines that have developing through the entire show. It starts off by incorporating Jennifer ...
...bargain considering it retails for over 30 pounds in the UK. All in all, a good end to a magnificent show, Jennifer Garner should be proud for her role in this show. Still a must have for any Alias fan, you must find out how it all ends!! ...

Review of Basilisk Vol.1 (DVD)

My Precious ( lord of the rings trilogy)

Advantages: best dvd collection you can own,
Disadvantages: need plenty of time to see the film

Probably this film "LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY " have been reviewed many times. But I would still like to share my experience with this brilliant film by Peter Jackson. Everything about this film is perfect! I would suggest you to sit tight and don't let anyone disturb you while watching it, you will definitely miss something important if you did. Actually it happened to me so i just warn you! Don't make the same mistake as i did. Luckily i have the ...
...what to expect. The Lord of the Rings film trilogy consists of three live action fantasy epic films: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002) and The Return of the King (2003). The trilogy is based on the three-volume book The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien. While they follow the book's general storyline, the films also feature some additions to and deviations from the source material. MAIN CAST Aragorn - Viggo Mortensen ...
