Something about a 'Legend' just stays with you

Advantages: very believable, excelent plot
Disadvantages: can be confusing to some people

...alone for all those years. I think that this movie was very well written from the main plot to the side plots everything fit together and made it believable. It was the kind of movie you just want to watch again and each time you do there seems to be something else you didn't notice that just adds to the believable plot. ...

...sub~episode thats about two minutes long including only the tachicoma's. 09.CHAT! CHAT! CHAT! Doesn't this title sound truly breathtaking? This could be one of the most exciting episodes ever seen on Japanese television. Though sadly in reality it's not, it is in fact the most boring episode from this series. There is another nut cracking example of such tedium but only in the next series. In this awful episode of mindless gibberish we have the ...

Review of Ghost In The Shell - Stand Alone Complex - Vol.3 (DVD)

Something's in the water and it is'nt limescale

Advantages: Fantastic performance by William Fitchner
Disadvantages: Slooooow to start

Invasion is a series penned by the scriptwriter behind the acclaimed American Gothic and is set in and around the small coastal Floridian town of Homestead, on the borders of the everglades national park. The series has a number of recurring characters, but centers about the awkwardly-extended family comprised of latino Park ranger Russell (Ed Cibrian) and his new wife Larkin (Lisa Sheridan), a local news reporter. They share custody of Russell's ...
...new and disturbing. Invasion rewards your initial investment and by the end of what may very well be the only such season as some executive made the idiotic decision to put it on at a time borderlining Lost, it builds to a thrilling climax that also manages to open additional plotlines that ask even more enduring questions. Acting is uniformly high, but the highest accolade goes unreservedly to Fitchner for his performance as Tom Underlay, the singlemost ...

Review of Invasion - The Complete Series (Box Set) (DVD)

Time traveller..or just plain crazy??

Advantages: Can't wait to watch series 2!
Disadvantages: Disappointed when series 1 ended!

...series to watch tonight yipee!!! Life On Mars series one first appeared on our tv screens back in 2006 (apparently) but I missed it first time round as I 'didn't fancy it'. I was working behind a bar at the time, and did the whole barmaid thing of chatting to customers and one used to leave early as he wanted to get home to watch Life On Mars(I would have sky+ it myself but maybe he didn't have it?). Every week he would say how good it was but it ...
...prizes for guessing it was Life On Mars(well to be honest it was series two but it looked so utterly fantastic it made me want to watch it from the beginning). I was literally kicking myself that I had missed it but my luck was in as the next week Virgin1 was to run "the successful BBC series Life On Mars"(thank heavens I have sky tv!). I watched the first 3 episodes but just couldn't wait for the next episode so bought series one and two on dvd..what ...

Review of Life On Mars - Series 1 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Blair Witch Project Meets War of The Worlds

Advantages: Novel presentation
Disadvantages: Not for people who get motion sickness from personal video cameras

I have often passed this DVD in my local supermarkets wondering whether it was worth watching. It has got a cover a bit similar to The Day After Tomorrow scene, unfortunately the security tag on the back of the DVD has always prevented me from reading its brief description which says "From visionary producer J.J. Abrams (Lost) and director Matt Reeves comes the worldwide sensation of nonstop terror and suspense everyone is talking about." Perhaps ...
...I know has been talking about this film, and there is nothing in the description that really tells me anything about what this film is really about, in the end it was the film scenes on the dustjacket that sold me the idea of buying the film, expecting high quality affects to the quality of The Day After Tomorrow. If anybody like me, buys the film for this reason, expecting high quality dramatic special effects like The Day After Tomorrow, you will ...
