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. ...

Review of I Am Legend (DVD)

A Great Family Film - Stardust

Advantages: Great cast, exciting storyline
Disadvantages: None

...originally became interested in seeing Stardust when I saw an advert in the cinema but didn't actually see it till it was on DVD.

Review of Stardust (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 ...

Review of Cloverfield (DVD)

Series 3 starts to solidify in the middle

Advantages: Great acting and writing
Disadvantages: Episodes spoilt by the subplot context

...third series of the modern Doctor Who gives us 4 episodes, two of which are a double-episode tale involving the Doctor's long serving arch enemies, the Daleks. With the first three episodes having set the scene with the emergence of Martha Jones as the Doctor's new companion, I was read for some gritty episodes that the writers could get their teeth stuck into. The Episodes The first two episodes are Daleks in Manhattan and Evolution of the Daleks. ...
...but the second story. The Doctor and Martha return to the present, and they are on the verge of parting company when gets an invitation from her sister to the unveiling of Dr Lazarus' life changing experiment.

Review of Doctor Who - Series 3 Vol.2 (DVD)

Will Smith in the Blu.

Advantages: Stunning film
Disadvantages: Nothing

I Am Legend. I remember watching the original film 'The Omega Man', starring Charlton Heston. It was a bit poor and massively different from the book. This latest version starring Will Smith is slightly different from the book but closer to the mark. ~The story~ Robert Neville is the last 'Normal' human alive in the city of Los Angeles and possibly the last in the world. His mind is constantly prayed upon with doubts ...
...There is apparently newer things on the way such as Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks, so even this may soon be surpassed. Worth the money and a film to be watched again and again All in all a movie I enjoyed. Recommended. Greg. ...
