Meet Darren. He's sixteen going on immortal.

Advantages: Some good casting, great special effects, entertaining storyline
Disadvantages: Too silly and unrealistic for my liking

...under his wing at the Cirque du Freak and prepares him for the lifestyle that vampires lead. But when a war breaks out between the vampires and their deadly counterparts, Darren must learn how to fight in order to save himself, his family and the vampire population. ~ Cast ~ Darren - Chris Massoglia Larten Crepsley - John Reilly Steve - Josh Hutcherson Mr Tiny - Michael Cerveris Rebecca - Jessica Carlson Evra the Snake Boy - Patrick Fugit Murlaugh ...
...completely ridiculous and so gave Cirque du Freak a watch. Unfortunately though, this one generally falls into the ridiculous category. The two young actors playing best friends Darren and Steve, who both become vampires, are the most natural actors in the film and manage to combine their normal teenage life at school with turning into an vampire very well. They both play very different characters with Darren being sensible and caring, more cautious ...

Review of Cirque Du Freak - The Vampire's Assistant

Ile be back and back and back...

Advantages: Better than I had hoped
Disadvantages: weak ending

...me. The original Terminator film wasn't the greatest action movie ever made but it certainly made Arnie. When he got the script for it he told his agent he would have to cancel his appearance at the 1983 Mr Universe competition because he had to do this "shi**y robot movie". How wrong he was. But he was up for T2, the superb sequel, quite simply the best science-fiction action movie ever made for me, not aged by one single day since its 1991 release. ...
...five years. Let's hope the Terminator franchise doesn't end up in Moscow on vacation. -The Cast- Christian Bale ... John Connor Sam Worthington ... Marcus Wright Moon Bloodgood ... Blair Williams Helena Bonham Carter ... Dr. Serena Kogan Anton Yelchin ... Kyle Reese Jadagrace ... Star Bryce Dallas Howard ... Kate Connor Common ... Barnes Jane Alexander ...

Review of Terminator - Salvation (DVD)

More Fallen Than Revenge

Advantages: Visually very impressive
Disadvantages: Too long and without a terribly good story

...when I was a kid, Transformers were one of my favourite toys. The fun of having something that was a car one minute and a robot the next took a long time to grow old. As an adult, I've found I can get similar enjoyment from watching the same thing happen on the big screen. It's a lot more sophisticated than it was back then, but I try to fool myself that I am as well. Following on from the events of the latest "Transformers" film, the Autobots are ...
...the film, in that the Transformers are a little too human at points. Maybe this is a deliberate attempt to portray them that way as they've now been living and working with humans for some time, but it did blur the line between them slightly. This was particularly noticeable with Skids and Mudflap, who played the joker roles that are usually assigned to a human sidekick in a film like this. They're funny and they do get the best lines, but it shifted ...
