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 Alias - Series 5 (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 ...

E.M.E.T.I.B (Reverse It)

Advantages: Great show/Great cast
Disadvantages: A few bad seasons/episodes

...Abrams (the creator of Lost), Alias is an American spy-fi television series. It followed the pretty much unknown Jennifer Garner as Sydney Bristow as she dealt with being a CIA agent. It almost immediately shot her to stardom. The Plot Sydney Bristow seems like your normal 20 something, however her life is a lot more complicated than just being a English grad student. Sydney is actually a spy for a cell called SD-6, but later finds out that ...
...working for the very people she's been trying to take down. She becomes a secret agent for the CIA to take down SD-6. The Cast Jennifer Garner plays the double agent Sydney Bristow.

Review of Alias - Series 1-5 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Good idea executed badly

Advantages: Very good acting and great opening sequence
Disadvantages: The story loses its way at the end

Snake Eyes starts off with a very good premise which loses its way as the movie progresses. Starring Nicolas Cage and Gary Sinise, the story is about a murder plot involving a number of high ranking government agents, with the murder in question taking place during a boxing match. Set in Atlantic City, all eyes are focused on a boxing contest involving heavyweight champion Lincoln Taylor. Watching the match in the audience are the head of security ...
...(Cage). The film kicks off when, during the boxing match, the Secretary of Defence is shot in the throat. It is up to Santaro and Dunne to investigate who is involved in the conspiracy. The complexity and intricacy of the murder makes the film very watchable and engaging, with Cage giving a very good performance as the out of control Santaro, who, among other things, takes bribes and cheats on his wife. The twenty minute opening sequence is the highlight ...
