Deep Rising review

Advantages: Exciting, good cast
Disadvantages: May be too gory for some people

Deep Rising is an action/horror film directed by Stephen Sommers, who would later go on to direct "The Mummy" and "Van Helsing". It stars B-movie legend Treat Williams and Famke Janssen and Djimon Hounsou, who are both a lot more well known now. Finnegan (Williams) is the leader of a group of mercenaries who takes on some very dangerous clients. Their plan is to get on board the world's most expensive cruise ship and steal as much as they can. But, ...
...dead and that someone, or something, has trashed the ship. So Finnegan, along with his friends, his clients, and Trillian (Janssen), a con artist and thief who luckily knows a thing or two about automatic weapons, wage war against the creature, and try to kill it before it kills them! There are so many B-movies out there that are just plain bad, bad acting, bad sets, bad effects, they really are no fun to watch at all. But this is completely opposite ...

Had such potential

Advantages: Easy to watch
Disadvantages: Lacks substance

I have to say that i DO like this film, it's not the exactly ground breaking but if you just want to sit and watch something thats easy to follow, doesn't have any elaborate twists and is generally fun, then i imagine you'll enjoy this film, just don't expect a lot from it. The film could have been so much darker and more intense than the final product was to be and the rather cheesy relationship the main character has with the Devil is rather odd. ...
...I am also a big fan of special effects and i was somewhat let down by this film, I felt that there wasn't enough creatures from hell and the special effects of the ones we did see were simply bog standard. Considering a relatively good cast was involved i really think a good chance was missed to make a truely epic movie. Yet, if you just want to be entertained after a long day at work, i think this would be a good watch. ...

Review of Constantine (Special Edition) (DVD)

Constantine rocks this world

Advantages: Actors, alternate Good Vs. Evil plot
Disadvantages: too long to get into main action

...the weapons used by John Constantine are unique- including dragon breath and holy water via fire sprinklers. I especially enjoyed the alternative ending on Disc 2 and hope other people who have seen this film did so too. Thanks for taking the time to read this review- please let me know whether it was helpful and go out and buy this DVD if you dont already own it or watch it again it you do. ...

It Will Take You A Million Light Years From Home

Advantages: /
Disadvantages: /

...gripping and totally thrilling experience. Stargate is probably known to most people from its serialised spin off in more recent years but this is a watered down money spinning exercise when compared to the original. Unlike, say, Buffy where the TV serialisation far outweighed the original film, Stargate was a masterpiece in ideas and well made production for its day and stands high above the TV follow up. Like most good sci-fi films it has a good ...
...the credits have rolled and Stargate falls into this elite category. Whereas the films mentioned deal with the metaphysical subjects of life and death, reality and perception, Stargate deals with the more tangible subject of the origins of Egyptian culture, and with the renewed interest in the origins of humanity and extraterrestrial contact in recent decades this film, whilst remaining pure entertainment proposes some fascinating questions. In Egypt ...
