Could the Ori spell the end for SG-1?

Advantages: New characters and fantastic CGI scenes
Disadvantages: Some very predictable storylines

...on base, General Landry (played by Beu Bridges) and the new team leader for SG-1, former F-302 pilot Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchel (played by Farscapes Ben Browder). This not only gives the show a new leading lineup, but an interesting change in the way things work around at stargate command. ...

Stargate SG1 Series 1-10 plus The Ark of Truth

Advantages: Incredible value, great for any fan of the series
Disadvantages: Lacks the special extras you may find in a specially created boxset

Stargate is a 10-series TV programme based on the 1994 film of the same name. It tells the story of a device found in Egypt which allows instananeous transportation from Earth to a network of planets across the galaxy. The early series focus on the first encounters with an alien race called the Gou'ald - a parasitic race that occupies human bodies and which bases their culture on Egyptian mythology. The human goal is to explore the galaxy and acquire ...
...effect as providing the complete Stargate SG1 DVD collection and may put some people off. All I will say is that the price of this boxset makies it incredible value when compared to the latest 'Complete' boxsets. Extras As mentioned above, this is really just a collation of all of the individual boxsets that you can already buy in the shops, and so there are none of the special extras that you may expect to find where the boxset has been created ...

Stargate Continuum

Advantages: Great movie, wraps up the Goa'uld storyline
Disadvantages: Not for everyone

Stargate Continuum is the latest Stargate movie. Its basically a stand alone movie, but for full enjoyment some background knowledge of Stargate SG1 the series is necessary. For those that havent seen Stargate SG1 there will be parts that will be confusing. Basically the plot is; SG1 are overseeing the removal of the Goa'ual Ba'al by the Tok'ra, when Ba'al, Teal'c and Vala disappear. Leaving Daniel, Sam and Mitchell to find out what happened and ...
...Prime. For Stargate fans such as myself it rounds off the story of the Goa'uld which was left floating in the wind after Stargate SG1 was suddenly cancelled by the Sci Fi channel. It also sees the much loved Don S Davis resurrect his role of General George Hammond, a bonus for any Stargate fan. The action is perfectly paced, not too fast that none Stargate fans wouldnt be able to keep up, and not so slow that it ever becomes boring. The acting ...

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 ...

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 ...
