Supernatural Season 1: A remarkable TV show

Advantages: Humour, suspense, good acting, attractive characters.
Disadvantages: Long plot, special effects aren't great.

...Season 1 of Supernatural is the story of the Winchester boys, Dean and Sam, who are trying to find their father after he disappears. Each episode features some kind of task involving the supernatural (of course!) and the boys must use their father's journal that he left for them to identify each creature and how to destroy it. As well as their "adventures", the main focus of this show is the relationship between Dean and Sam, and finding the monster ...
...the show and have watched every episode that is available in the UK so far. Lucky for American viewers, you are half a season ahead of us. But I recommend buying the seasons on Amazon as they are very cheap and good quality. It's a terrific show, funny and full of suspense. It is definitely worth giving a try. ...

Review of Supernatural - Series 1 - Vol.1 (Box Set) (DVD)

~ An Immortal Battle for Supremacy ~

Advantages: Brilliant scenery, Great action, good characters
Disadvantages: Could have more SP/FX

...Supremacy ~ Underworld I first saw the film when I rented it from the local video shop and thought it was brilliant. The eerie pictures and captivating cover instantly drew me toward it. I had seen adverts and trailers when it arrived at the cinema and waited until it was released as everyone knows the price of cinema tickets are quite steep so I don?t tend to go much unless I really want to see something. The plot sounded good and I love vampire ...
...Blood Diamond and the other Underworld films where his part grows. Viktor- Bill Nighly Viktor is the Lord of the vampires who is raised by Selene to help win this war. After being woken early and not being impressed with her behaviour he seeks to rule the vampires into victory. He is a strong minded leader who is hard-heartened but seems to have a soft spot for Selene. Bill Nighly is a well known actor and I didn?t know he was in it until I saw ...

Review of Underworld (DVD)

A Design For Death [Film Only]

Advantages: Memorable deaths, good performances and special effects
Disadvantages: Some dodgy dialogue, a few inconsistencies

...explodes. Their trip to the final destination delayed but not terminated - as the teenagers find out, there is no cheating death. The opening scene at the airport is effective, and ensures Final Destination won't be shown as flight entertainment. The deaths are well executed (if you'll excuse the pun). If it's not the thought behind them - which will get the guessing games going - then it's the timing that can catch you out. However, there is inconsistency ...
...stuff thrown around already. Final Destination is strong in the special effects department. Computer trickery can be evident, but it's not as if these effects stand out like a sore thumb. It's not entirely the works of computers however, and when something is evidently fake, there is humour with horror - something which the film manages to mix successfully on more than this one occasion. Despite being set in New York, there are a couple of clues, ...

Review of Final Destination (DVD)

Death Can Never Be Cheated

Advantages: some good scenes
Disadvantages: not much horror like it says, not better than the third film

...it was because after watching Final Destination 3 I thought that the first and the second one must have been interesting. I am currently watching the second film of the sequel but this first film is quite boring. Nor did I have the same excitement or the tension as the third movie and I was a bit disappointed because I was looking forward for the first sequel but nonetheless, I didn't hate it. There were a few moments when some tension was building ...

Review of Final Destination 1-3 (Box Set) (DVD)

Cute, Clever, Mischievous, Intelligent, NOT.

Advantages: there's lots of scenes with Cute Gizmo in!
Disadvantages: there is none!!!

...obviously I was wrong. Also Gremlins is a great DVD but I watched it about 1 month ago, and could not review it due to the fact that I had a massive pile of Books to review. Anyway those reasons aren't really reasons, they are excuses... I would have reviewed this yesterday, although my heart was not into it... the reason is that 3 days ago my grandma died unexpectedly. She was healthy for all we knew, but she had a minor heart attack so my heart ...
...Billy breaks a rule and Gremlins spur from all over the place... The gremlins becomes the bullies and bully poor cute Gizmo. All kids would cry at that bit. But what will happen after? Will Gizmo be happy again? Will the gremlins die? What havoc will they cause? Would Gizmo leave? Or will he die? I shall not answer these questions, but you must be eager to find out. There are 2 different covers, there's the one that you would find nowadays which ...
