JOE 90

Advantages: GREAT FOR KIDS
Disadvantages: NOTHING

Joe 90 This really took me back, Joe 90 the kid super spy with amazing powers and those 'Michael Caine' glasses. Included here are all 30 episodes. Puppetry at its best. Professor Ian McClaine has invented a brain enhancer. It takes the form of a chair which the operative sits in and then he has whatever special information imprinted onto his brain. This information aids him in completing his secret missions. Joe is used because he is a kid ...
...James Bond. Joe would done his glasses and be off on his latest mission. He had all the state of the art spy devices and always completed his missions for the W.I.N. organisation, one way or another. Made from 1968 and 1969 by Gerry Anderson, who by now was on a role and could do no wrong, Joe 90 was another huge success. This was a super series to watch as a kid and as many programmes of the time completely inoffensive to all children. Highly recommended. ...

Review of Joe 90 - Complete Series (Box Set) (DVD)

All the classic herbies together

Advantages: Great value. All the classic herbies together
Disadvantages: none!!

...I was amazed by the price of this box set. I only paid about £17 pounds. With the recent release of the new film i would have imagined the price to rocket up to more than 30. As a result i snapped up this bargain while i had the chance. There are 4 DVDs in this box set: "The Love Bug" Herbies adventure begins!! Unwanted at first, Herbie soon gains the love of his new owner. Together they get into all sorts of trouble and harrowing situations. ...
...Herbie comes up trumps as the good guy always should. I really enjoyed this film. It had me nooked from the off. There was plenty of high speed action and some comical stunts everyone will enjoy. "Herbie Rides Again" This second episode in Herbies adventures takes him the aid of an old lady. Together with the help of a few friends, they battle a major developer, keen to destroy there little house to make way for the worlds highest building. Again ...

Review of The Herbie Collection (DVD)

The T-rex Trek

Advantages: More of those loveable characters
Disadvantages: A typical film number 3

...I wanted to see was Ice Age 3, mostly because I wanted to complete the series and find out what happens, having seen the other two films on the way out. Please bear in mind that if you have not seen the first two films, I do not recommend you read this review (even if that means I miss out on your rating!) That’s because if the film sounds like your thing, I will have spoilt both those first two films within this review of the third. So staying on ...
...all as eggs! If the Ice Age animals didn’t think their mother was scary enough, when Rudy comes along, they are really in for a surprise. He is a much bigger challenge for Buck, and an even bigger terror for all the others, when he makes mummy dino look a dwarf. Sadly we don’t really get that much communication from the dinosaurs as they don’t seem to talk, just “grr”. Admittedly this helps distinguish them from the others as the real predators or ...

Review of Ice Age 3 - Dawn Of The Dinosaurs

City of Ember Smoulders Without Really Catching Light

Advantages: A fun, well told family adventure
Disadvantages: Underdeveloped characters. Understated ending.

...see “City of Ember” at the cinema, but I had taken one look at the trailer and dismissed it out of hand. However, when it made a recent appearance on the Sky Movies schedule, I relented, thinking that, without the added investment of having to buy cinema tickets, a bucket of popcorn and perhaps more importantly, using up a rare night out, I could always fall asleep on the couch if I wanted to. SYNOPSIS The film starts out with a flashback to ...
...catastrophe is soon to make the earth uninhabitable, so a group of scientists (American obviously – they’re always American) create an underground city, called Ember, to which a select group of lucky souls will be sent – a modern day ark – to safeguard the future of the human race. A silver box, the contents of which are not known at this stage, is entrusted to the first mayor, with instructions to pass down the box from mayor to mayor until the ...
