I want to believe

Advantages: All episode titles on each disk so you can't lose your place
Disadvantages: It takes hundreds of hours to watch it all!

I always loved the X-Files and I've only just got to series three of this boxset, but I cannot stop watching it. Here's the background, I bought season one boxset years ago and still have yet to open it and then I saw this amazing boxset in a sale for just £64. Despite the journey I was on and the weight it would be, I had to buy it. I could not believe the amazing savings I had made on it. Since I bought, on a weeknight I cannot stop watching the ...
...to get to just into the beginning of season three. The packaging is not great and the external picture on my version of the boxset (which includes the first film) is also not great or really that encompassing of the entire show and the pictures on each individual year are not that brilliant. A little bit out there, maybe. The really nifty thing is the little booklet that gives a few line summary of every episode and a brief overview of the year ...

...Galleries - Cast Biographies - Farscape Quiz and PC Screen saver. When I first saw this on the adverts it looked pretty good, so I decided to watch it. One painful hour later I wish I hadn't, it was on a living ship full of funny aliens talking in another language that was like beeps and dial tones, and to top it off it had puppets in it. I thought it was the worst show I had ever seen, I didn't watch any more after that. Nine months down the line ...
...a couple of pages of Farscape in it. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, from the pictures it looked like a different show altogether. So I thought I will give one more chance, and I was so pleased I did. It was a Cracker of a season. The characters was gelled together, more chemistry with a hint of love / hate friendship, and the flirting between John and Aryen is pure brilliance. They have there own language which I think is hilarious especially ...

Sometimes, Ignorance is bliss

Advantages: clever thriller, good story, well acted
Disadvantages: bit depressing?

Dont misunderstand my review title, this is a cracking film. You can nearly always say that about Nicolas Cage films, but this one really is! The premise is simple. There are many disasters happening on earth, for some reason, aliens decide to warn mankind about the upcoming disasters by "whispering" them to a little girl in the 1950's. Unfortuneately, that girl does nothing with the information other than write it down on a bit of paper and allow ...
...capsule. The capsule is dug up in the current day and discovered by Nicolas Cage's character. He soon discovers the code in the series of numbers written on the page and works out that the code tells of impending disasters, when they will happen, how many will die and the location. The story continues on along this path, with a worrying fortelling of the end of days. We don't know what will happen right until the end. I wont ruin it for you either, ...

Review of Knowing (Blu-ray)

Return To Form!

Advantages: Classy return to form, set in the future! very well done!
Disadvantages: should have been an 18 to be its best!

...is I am a big Terminator fan. I loved Terminator 1 and 2. With Terminator 3, they ruined the franchise, it was rubbish on many levels. Terminator salvation is literally the saviour of the fanchise. In the same way that Casino Royale, Batman Begins and others have saved other franchises, the same has happened here. The most thrilling thing is that Terminator Salvation is the first film set in the future. During the war against the Terminators and ...
...as you'd expect from a Terminator film. Sure, Arnie wasn't in it, but perhaps that was a good thing. You can have too much of a good thing after all. Christian Bale does a very good job of being bad-ass and insipiring at the same time. The way its set in the not too distant future, featuring current human weaponry being used against the machines in a nice touch. The picture and sound on the blu ray edition is first rate and makes the scenes with ...
