The battle for the galaxy comes to a head!!

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

...final installment of the original Star Wars trilogy, Episode VI: The Return of the Jedi. George Lucas and co. had proved a point with their money lenders in making Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, making the lent money back in 3 months. Return of the Jedi ended up grossing nearly $500million! Initially, the film was critically and commercially successful, but since, it has been regarded as the weakest of the three films. However, this is the first ...

Review of Star Wars - The Original Trilogy (Box Set) (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 ...
