Love, the Atlantian way

Advantages: Another brilliant season from Atlantis
Disadvantages: it has to end at some point

.... . . ---What is Stargate Atlantis?--- Put simply, SG Atlantis is a spin off of the incredibly successful Series Stargate SG-1, which is a spin-off of the movie Stargate (confused yet?) The movie centres around the discovery of what they call the Stargate. The Stargate is a huge ring with nine pretty little pictures on it. It works like an old telephone in that you choose your numbers (the pretty pictures), hit dial and the ring spins and what ...
...it, I congratulate you! Stargate SG-1 expands on the idea that life on earth was not started here. It was, in fact, brought here by an extremely advanced alien race. This race happened to be a tad on the evil side and used humans as slaves and carriers for their young (slithery snake type things) as was touched on in the movie. How do they bring it back without ruining the movies ending? Simple! They discover that there is more than one destination. ...

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 ...

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 ...

You Look Like a Radioactive Tampon

Advantages: Great Direction and Acting
Disadvantages: Too Slow for some

Moon reminds me a lot of those big weighty Sci-fi films of the seventies where it was all about atmosphere, storyline and your imagination rather than riotous special effects and wise cracking aliens. This film is utterly beguiling, its tense but strangely relaxing, all of these is down to two men, the director Duncan Jones and the star Sam Rockwell. This is Jones' first feature film and its an incredibly impressive debut, he eschewed using his father ...
...it is a really fantastic film which is a credit to him. Starring Sam Rockwell as Sam, the only worker on an automated lunar mining complex. He has been working on his own for nearly three years and nearing the end of his term in space he feels lonely, isolated and confused....as anyone would, I imagine. With only a droid, Gerty (Voiced by Kevin Spacey) for company, Sam is alone and starts to feel a world apart from Earth, he feels he is alone but ...
