Dracula Lives

Advantages: excellent animation, good scripts, cracking soundtrack
Disadvantages: English dub could be better, compression rate not optimal

...this world. Here, Hellsing (aka van Helsing) has indeed tracked Dracula back to his castle and lands. There, he indeed kills Dracula's servants and various minions, including Mina. He informs Dracula of this as he plunges a stake through his heart as Dracula gasps in disbelief, "I lost?" Humbled by his own powerful being losing to such a foe, he swears fealty to the Hellsing family, and rather than having his head cut off to finish the killing job, ...
...vampire of all? And so, Hellsing founds the Hellsing Organisation, a civilian outfit which in reality is a Protestant Order of Holy Knights shrouded in the utmost of secrecy and answering pretty much only to royalty. Fiercely devoted to their sworn duty of serving the royal house and all of Britain by destroying vampires, they are an almost anachronistic organisation in the 21st century. Modern weaponry aplenty abounds, but duty, honour, and a fierce ...

Review of Hellsing - The Collection (Box Set) (DVD)

Blood: A Bloody Short Film

Advantages: Wonderful animation, superb characters, sparkling plot
Disadvantages: Gut-wrenchingly short, very minor sound issues

...irrelevant searches ] Blood for me was one of those films you pick up because you're in town, it's cheap, and you have no sense of control. Five minutes and seven pounds later, you own another DVD to cram somewhere onto your bulging film shelf. I'm not sure to this day why I picked it up; I have a loathing of vampires that borders on the maniacal and yet, when I secluded myself in my favourite armchair with a few snacks and a drink, I was captured ...
...times. Drama strikes though, and Blood is only 45 minutes long, which should honestly be a crime in this civilised world. I quite happily would have watched for another 45 minutes; another hour, another two hours. I might even have watched for the rest of my life if someone hooked me up to a Galaxy chocolate IV drip. The 'special effects', or in this case the animation was simply top-notch, second to none. Appleseed and Final Fantasy: The Spirits ...

Review of Blood - The Last Vampire (DVD)

Death Ship, it's no Ghost Ship

Advantages: Good idea
Disadvantages: Badly executed

...night”. NO IT DIDN’T. That was a major error with the film, you can actually see in that trailer how it’s a lot brighter around the death ship than the cruise ship. Written by Phelim McC. Don’t steal it, I have friends in the internet police ...

It's like a friday night down my local

Advantages: great all round entertaining movie
Disadvantages: none really... (apart from one or two 'iffy' scenes)

Those Damned Kids.

Advantages: Reminds me my kids aint so bad
Disadvantages: original was much better

As i realy enjoyed the original 1960 version i thought i'd give this one the once over. Based on the story The Midwich Cuckoo's by John Wyndham, this is a chilling tail of how the women in a small American town"Midwich" fall pregnant after the entire town is knocked out by an unforseen force. Goverment investigations can find no reason for this phenoninum and can offer the residents no explination, fear and panic set in with the villagers as they ...
...have they been impregnated by an extra terrestial force? Peoples greed for money soon has them relaxed, as the goverment offer to pay the families large sums of money to go ahead with the pregnancies, on condition they can monitor the children. The children are born with Platinum hair and physic abilities, not only can they read each others thoughts but everyone else's, As soon as the children reach school age the fun starts, and it becomes clear ...
