Bug war!

Advantages: Awesome scifi war movie adapted from a novel
Disadvantages: Could have been a bit longer

The Earth is coming under a new alien threat from bugs! They even drop a meteor on Brazil (an idea they stole from Jerry Niven's novel Footfall) and the worlds Governments decide that a hard miltary strike back at them is the only solution. Paul Verhoeven is an excellent director. I liked this and I'd also previously liked Total Recall which he also directed. Micheal Ironside is truly brilliant in this and very well cast in his role indeed. He always ...
...a change he's actually a good guy. He gets some excellent lines, some seriously good action fight scenes and gets to die in an action filled way. The soccer type scene was stolen from at least 2 other movies (one starring Dean Cain and Wesley Snipes which I can't remember the tile of, and it also looked a bit like the really rubbish remake of Rollerball). The chunky blond chap who looks like a young Gary Busey (the one who gets a knife in the hand ...

Review of Event Horizon (DVD)

Highlander sequel fails to wow

Advantages: Good handling of a mediochre script
Disadvantages: Script and constant darkness

Highlander II: The Quickening is the 1991 sequel to the 1986 film Highlander, which pitted immortal Connor MacLeod against an evil immortal at an event known as the Gathering. Director Russell Mulcahy returns for the sequel, as does Christopher Lambert as MacLeod. The film was less successful than the first, with a rather dubious and other-worldly plot and a low level of special effects reducing it to a more cult status than a commercial success. ...
...who was a fan of Highlander is likely to enjoy it, although perhaps not as much as the first film. There are elements of genius, and Lambert's portrayal of an immortal wishing he was mortal is very good, although this doesn;t make for very exciting viewing. In conclusion, this is a well made film which has some dodgy parts and perhaps wasn't handled with an overall audience in mind. It is definitely targeted as those who enjoyed the first film. ...

Review of Highlander 2 - The Quickening (DVD)

How can a sequel be so bad

Advantages: Satrship troopers 1 Excellent
Disadvantages: the sequel is the worst film in history

In Starship troopers 1 you had the advantage of a reasonable storyline, plenty of bug killings and likewise human killings. The film lasts for over 2 hours and the killing never seems to end which is great if you like violence and action. I enjoyed it thoroughly and then sat back waiting in anticipation for the second film to arrive. In the first film they must have used a budget of Millions of dollars to produce this epic quality picture. In the ...
...sauce. Starship Troopers 2 has proved to be a complete waste of time and money in my opinion along. after the first film they really could have come up with an equal type of film if not better but no, they ruined the good name of the film with the sequel If you enjoy Starship troopers 1, I would beg you not to buy Starship troopers 2, you will regret wasting 90 minutes of your life on the worst film ever!!! ...
