"Affirmative"

Advantages: Better viewing than series 1
Disadvantages: Over priced

...- Hostage Travis kidnaps Blake's cousin Inga to draw the Liberator and its crew into a trap. Meanwhile knowledge reaches Servalan that both Blake and Travis are on the planet Exbar. She unleashes the entire force of the Federation to assist in the destruction of the Liberator crew and the retrieval of the Liberator. 9 - Countdown Avon meets up with an old enemy in the form of Grant, who stole Avon's lover from him.

...When series one of Blake's 7 was screened its ratings were similar to that of Doctor Who. By the halfway point of series 2 the viewing figures for Blakes 7 decimated that of Doctor Who. The BBC had created a second popular sci-fi series and now was screening Blakes 7 and Doctor Who all year round. ITV struggled to produce competition but failed dramatically. The identity of Blakes 7 had finally been set in stone, and in a master stroke of genius ...

A Great Family Film - Stardust

Advantages: Great cast, exciting storyline
Disadvantages: None

...originally became interested in seeing Stardust when I saw an advert in the cinema but didn't actually see it till it was on DVD. When in Asda one night we saw this DVD and thought we would give it a go. Stardust is a fairytale but not just a normal boring one, it has many exciting twists and turns. The story begins as a young boy attempts to cross over the wall next to the village he lived in also called Wall. The guard of the wall attempts to stop ...
...in a different world. He goes in to the market and ends up getting into mischief with a beautiful slave. 9 months later a small parcel appears on his doorstep, his son Tristan.

The Fifth Element is a sci-fi fantasy action film written and directed by Luc Besson (who also directed Leon) and stars Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, Ian Holm and Milla Jovovich. Set 300 years in the future, cab driver and former special forces soldier Korben Dallas (Willis) is going about his day when a woman comes crashing through the roof of his taxi and asks for help.

Outstanding

Advantages: Amazing attention to detail in the game.
Disadvantages: n/a

...wouldn't even change those. The final epic fight between Cloud and a rememnent taking the form of sepheroth was absolutely outstanding. I was extatic throughout the entire movie. The storyline was wiked and closely follwed that of the game itself. Reno's appearence in the movie was one of a kind. This is a must watch film. ...

Chessy but fun!

Advantages: Fun story
Disadvantages: A bit childish

...a fan club convention of Galaxy Quest. We then see a backroom shot of actors dressed in their respective costumes. There is Gwen (played by Sigourney Weaver, Alexander (played by Alan Rickman), Fred (played by Tony Shalhoub) and Tommy (played by Daryl Mitchell). They are upset that the main cast charecter Jason (played by Tim Allen) is late for the convention. Jason arrives and they go on stage. A group of "aliens" go up to Jason asking for his help. ...
...the ship they have built. The film has cheesy acting and jokes and is similiar to Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy and Spaceballs. I like the story, I think the special effects are good and the charecters (human and alien) are good. Cant remember the soundtrack. ...
