ERGO PROXY series review

Advantages: Best series ive seen in a long while
Disadvantages: Its only 23 episodes

...time it even compares or even betters witch hunter robin. But there are so many genres in this from time to time which make it suitable for anyone who enjoys a more interlectual and psycological anime. ERGO PROXY is one of my favourite animes its just great in every way. ...

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 ...

The definitive Alien collection

Advantages: Original and director's cut edition, flawless transfer, every extra you could want
Disadvantages: None

Of all movie monsters, the Alien has to be my favourite and this box set is an esential for anyone who has seen and loved any or all of the four pure Alien movies (dsicounting the Alien/ Predator crossover genre). Having been old enough to have seen the original Alien at the cinema I was pleased that the box set includes the original as well as the new updated and reditied versions of all four of the movies. There are also extras beyond belief and ...
...movies fear not. The redited Alien for example was lovingly crafted by original director Ridley Scott who correctly recognised that a modern cinema audience would find the original somewhat slow paced in places. He has also skillfully added back scenes removed from the original release which, on viewing, are essential to the plot and reveal new charater nuances and tensions that seemed strange and unexplained previously. This set was expensive when ...

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. ...

The boxset all fantasy fans have been waiting for!

Advantages: 3 great films from the Jim Henson Company
Disadvantages: A little dark in nature for some children

...of the graphic novel world; Mirrormask tells the tale of a young girl called Helena who is miserable in her life as part of a circus, run by her family. Shut away in her trailer, she dreams of another life, using her drawings to create an alternate world to escape to, away from the nomadic and surreal world that she lives in at the circus. When we are first introduced to Helena, she is a moody and obtuse teenage girl, who appears oblivious to her ...
...for her lack of a 'normal life' for which she craves. Helena (played brilliantly by young talent Stephanie Leonidas) has an argument with her mother (Gina Mckee), who collapses, and is taken into hospital for weeks. Helena is told that her mother needs a serious operation and is wracked with guilt for triggering her mothers attack. Helena goes out onto the roof of her grandmothers flat block, using the floor and walls as a blank canvas she scribbles ...
