Surveillance - A bleak yet strangley compelling film
Advantages: Sinister atmosphere
Disadvantages: Unsatisfactory and predictable
Surveillance is by no means as bad as some reviews would have you believe. That’s not to say it comes highly recommended to all but it does have a distinct air of nastiness that compels the viewer. The plot is a basic one which includes a structure and twist that seem all too familiar. The film’s real strengths lie with its repugnant characters set in a baron location distant from the normality of civilisation. There is a sense of helplessness and ...

Entertaining Horror in Space "Infinite Space - Infinite Horror"
Advantages: a brilliantly composed horror in space
Disadvantages: some lengthy scenes
This is an undervalued Sci-Fi horror. Sam Neill as the half mad scientist and Laurence Fishbourne as the intrepid Captain are a perfect choice for their roles. The horror lies in the dark, but standard atmosphere and the unexpected changes of the picture. The lovers of blood will love it, as it flows massively especially at the end. The movie has elements of several different movies like Hellraiser (the face of the doctor at the end) or 2001/2010 ...

And this is was where the standards slipped
Advantages: Performances, music.
Disadvantages: Storyline.
The fifth Harry Potter film...the effects got better, the performances are amazing but the storyline isn't that brilliant. The pressure of making the Harry Potter films better and better is immense, but it didn't work that well this time.
Story
The film starts off in Little Whinging. Harry is in a park when his cousin Dudley comes across with his mates to tease Harry about numerous things, including his parents. The atmosphere goes from ...
...mates take off, leaving Harry and Dudley in the park. As the rain comes, the take shelter in the underpass when they are confronted by the Dementors. They perform the "Dementors Kiss" on Dudley and Harry tries to fight them off with the "Expecto Patronum" charm. Just as the second dementor turns to Harry, they disappear when an old lady enters the underpass. She also lives on Privet Drive, and Dumbeldore had asked her to watch out for Harry. She ...
