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. ...

Say Hello to the Night

Advantages: Fantastic Film with a great cast
Disadvantages: Slightly dated for some people

The Lost Boys Say Hello to the Night Sleep all day Party all night It's fun to be a vampire It may be an unusual take to write a review on a film which was created in 1987, though this, I believe, is one of those classic films that live on no matter how many years have gone past. I first watched it as a teenager with one of my friends and we fell in love with it straight away and years later I finally brought it on DVD and have already watched it ...
...as good special effects for the time, they are not so much a spot on the horizon for modern day special effects, though I feel this has to be kept in mind. OUTSIDE THE LOST BOYS The Lost Boys in title was originally in reference to the Peter Pan stories by J.M.Barrie and was directed by Joel Schumacher. The cast list is a really great cast for the time and includes big names such as Kiefer Sutherland and Dianne Wiest. A large part of the movie was ...

I'll stick to the original, thanks.

Advantages: good concept
Disadvantages: poor, poor film spoiled by its sheer complexity.

...going on in it.So, when cube 2 : hypercube came out, I for one was quite exited. For those of you who do not know the original, a brief rundown of the plot would be that a group of eight people are put into a huge contraption, with the bizzarre aim of trying to get out alive. They were put in without consent, or prior knowledge. But, they were put in for a reason, as each one held a particular skill, or a piece of knowledge, that may help them escape. ...
...identical cube shaped rooms, and slowly go mad. Some rooms contain traps, some contain horrific scenes, and some are safe. Now that you know the plot for cube, you also know the plot for hypercube. It would seem that the film has been given a bigger budget, which they threw at the film to give it better effects, and slightly worse acting. Again, we see eight 'contestants' put in a huge contraption, with the aim of getting out alive at the expense ...

Twenty years later and IT still scares me!

Advantages: Scary and fun!
Disadvantages: If you didn't have a fear of clowns before watching this, you will after!

I first saw this move when it first came out in 1990. I was only about 5 years old and I managed to persuade my parents to let me watch it. They had rented it from our local video store and I actually remember crying during this movie because I was so afraid. Ever since that day I have had a fear of clowns. The clown IT was just so creepy and it gave me nightmares for ages. NowI'm 24 years old and I watched this movie again last week and let me tell ...
