The fifth elephant.

Advantages: fast, and funny.
Disadvantages: a wee bit dated

...back to try and destroy the world again. It was prophecised that this evil would be defeated by an unknown quantity, called the fifth element, that would unite the four natural elements to create the divine light. A race of aliens, called the mondoshawan, entrusted the knowledge of the fifth element to a human. The evil that had been defeated would come back in 5000 years, and the human race should be prepared. The knowledge was to be passed down ...
...As predicted, the evil arrived. The human race started by attacking it, but the attacks seemed only to make the evil stronger. It grew in size, and ferocity. But they are found by the current holder of 'the knowledge', who tells them that the mondoshawan were coming to use the fifth element to destroy the evil. But they are ambushed by the shape-shifting mangalores. Part of the fifth element was removed from the crash site, and put into a machine ...

Review of The Fifth Element (Special Edition) (DVD)

This should be Lost in Space!

Advantages: Plot twist, special effects, Gary Oldman
Disadvantages: Everything else

...up into space and got lost (funny that, the title kind of gives it away!). So, when they made the decision to remake the series into a film, giving it a futuristic overhaul, I was really excited. The film was released in 1998, and its running time is 130 minutes. The Plot In the year 2058, scientists have realised that in order for the population of Earth to survive, they must relocate to somewhere outside the planet, for it is dying. The Robinson ...
...yet they find themselves literally lost in space when the sinister Smith stows away. Dr John Robinson and family then find themselves searching for a way back home and fighting for their own survival, let alone that of the Earth. Armed with the latest state of the art gadgetry and a hot shot military man, Major Don West, the Robinsons see adventure after adventure as they try to find their way back. The Cast and Performances, and then My Opinion! ...

Review of Lost In Space (DVD)

Again? ok why not!

Advantages: Piece of nostalgia, closely linked to the remake
Disadvantages: Special effects are dated

...Running time: 125 mins Battlestar Galactica is a science fiction pilot film that follows a human civilzation located in a star system far far away but not a long long time ago (sorry, couldnt resist). Their struggle for survival against a robotic civilzation called the Cylons leads an exciting story arc that could eventually lead to a startling development in the subsequent tv series. Comparisons were inevitably made between this and Star Wars, ...
...hype. That being the case, Battlestar still offers originality, and even though the special effects are obviously dated, the story is engrossing as it is exciting with plenty of action along with a continuation into 2 subsequent tv series. Sadly, as a dvd there is little in the way of extra's, but that's ok becuase Im sure that there are many people out there looking to replace there old vhs copy with this higher quality dvd. ...

Review of Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire (HD-DVD)

Sometimes, Ignorance is bliss

Advantages: clever thriller, good story, well acted
Disadvantages: bit depressing?

Dont misunderstand my review title, this is a cracking film. You can nearly always say that about Nicolas Cage films, but this one really is! The premise is simple. There are many disasters happening on earth, for some reason, aliens decide to warn mankind about the upcoming disasters by "whispering" them to a little girl in the 1950's. Unfortuneately, that girl does nothing with the information other than write it down on a bit of paper and allow ...
...capsule. The capsule is dug up in the current day and discovered by Nicolas Cage's character. He soon discovers the code in the series of numbers written on the page and works out that the code tells of impending disasters, when they will happen, how many will die and the location. The story continues on along this path, with a worrying fortelling of the end of days. We don't know what will happen right until the end. I wont ruin it for you either, ...
