"Comply"

Advantages: Yet further story enhancements
Disadvantages: Still very pricey.

...rival Doctor Who, by 1980 Blake's 7 had become a worthy and equal partner in the BBC's Sci-Fi offerings. In series 1 and 2 Blake a Federation guard realised that his was brainwashed. He formed a team of rebels in the form of Vila, Cally, Jenna, Gan, Avon, Zen and later Orac. Together they stole the most deadly space ship in the Federation fleet the Liberator. The group target a variety of Federation assets and are victorious on most occasions. Realising ...
...Army of millions the crew get more daring with every mission. As series two ended only 4 of the original crew remain. Episodes:- 1 - Aftermath With the war over the crew leave the Liberator and scatter across the planets. Avon lands on a planet where he is captured by savages, Dayna the daughter of a scientist saves Avon from certain death.

Review of Blake's 7 - Series 3 - Complete (DVD)

A Legacy

Advantages: One of the most influential shows of all time
Disadvantages: None

...starting year of 1975, The Survivors was a very British drama. At the time science fiction and horror drama was rife, the viewers pretty much demanded it. The Survivors was a tale of the end of days; a genetic scientist brings the world to a sudden stop by causing the spread of a flu like illness, which he unknowingly spread across the planet whilst trying to promote greener practises (ironically an issue so strong in our minds now but never addressed ...
...quest for companionship. The survivors follows primarily the stories of these three characters, each episode finds them getting closer to what they seek. On their way they make great friends, become part of new communities, a engage in a sort of historical warfare with Arthur Wormley (Played by Inspector Wexford star George Baker) a man who has dreams of rebuilding the country by first rebuilding parliament. The Survivors is probably the inspiration ...

Review of Survivors - Series 1 - Complete (DVD)

In ROTF, the robots are much, much bigger.

Advantages: funny, exciting, great effects, good story, good acting, fast paced
Disadvantages: too much crude humour, slightly abrupt endings for some scenes

...was expecting a lot from Transformers 2. Knowing Bay and Spielberg, I knew that they would give us a sequel with 10 times more stunts and effects than the first one. Unfortunately, they slightly over did it. Revenge of The Fallen follows the events of the original Transformers movie about a normal teenage boy, Sam, being chosen to help the Autobots defend Earth and defeat the Deceptagons. The film starts off with a brilliant scene showing Wheelie, ...
...city. A noticeable difference between the two movies is the size of the transformers. In ROTF, the robots are much, much bigger. This is best near the end of the movie when a enormous robot is generated from other robots. Sometimes in the many fights between the two types of transformer it gets confusing to tell the difference between them as their colours blend in. This is not a major problem due to terrific autobot voice acting. So, the effects ...

Review of Transformers - Revenge Of The Fallen (DVD)

Who needs Guantanamo Bay. Check this out Obama!

Advantages: Interesting sci-fi
Disadvantages: Perhaps the acting

...quite enjoyed ‘Event Horizon’. The Cube trilogy, like the above a more intriguing angle on the topic, is something that I have been aware of for a while but have yet to see any for rent, only Blockbusters policy of buying old DVDs from customers finally uncovering one. I think mobile phones and bad acting have destroyed the notion of ever seeing a decent horror movie era again-the internet providing far worse for people who really want to be shocked-and ...
...best way forward. Cube is not the most innovative and intelligent film in the genre but its certainly unique and leaning that way. CAST Nicole de Boer ... Joan Leaven - The Math Student Nicky Guadagni ... Helen Holloway - The Doctor David Hewlett ... David Worth - The Architect Andrew Miller ... Kazan - The Autistic Man Julian Richings ... Alderson - The First Victim Wayne Robson ... Rennes - The Fugitive Maurice Dean Wint ... Quentin - The Cop The ...

Review of Cube (DVD)

Darker and yet funnier than the previous films.

Advantages: Amazing special effects. Excellent acting.
Disadvantages: Unfaithful to the book in parts.

...film in its own right Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is one of my favourites of the series so far. This film is much darker than the others, the wizarding world has now admitted that Voldemort is back and Harry has to realise his ties with Voldemort more than ever before. Despite being a much darker film it is also more comedic than many of the others. The strong theme of romance and various different love stories give the film much needed ...
...are hilarious. The acting is of an excellent standard and Jim Broadment makes a welcome addition to the cast as Professor Slughorn. This film contains less action than many of the others, largely to focus upon the storyline and retell the wealth of information revealed in this book. In order to create more action there are several scenes in the film which do not appear in the book. Some I think work well (the dementors destroying the millenium bridge ...
