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 ...

Review of Cube (DVD)

Darker and yet funnier than the previous films.

Advantages: Amazing special effects. Excellent acting.
Disadvantages: Unfaithful to the book in parts.

...film in its own right Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is one of my favourites of the series so far. This film is much darker than the others, the wizarding world has now admitted that Voldemort is back and Harry has to realise his ties with Voldemort more than ever before. Despite being a much darker film it is also more comedic than many of the others. The strong theme of romance and various different love stories give the film much needed ...
...are hilarious. The acting is of an excellent standard and Jim Broadment makes a welcome addition to the cast as Professor Slughorn. This film contains less action than many of the others, largely to focus upon the storyline and retell the wealth of information revealed in this book. In order to create more action there are several scenes in the film which do not appear in the book. Some I think work well (the dementors destroying the millenium bridge ...

Review of Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince (DVD)

Time traveller..or just plain crazy??

Advantages: Can't wait to watch series 2!
Disadvantages: Disappointed when series 1 ended!

...series to watch tonight yipee!!! Life On Mars series one first appeared on our tv screens back in 2006 (apparently) but I missed it first time round as I 'didn't fancy it'. I was working behind a bar at the time, and did the whole barmaid thing of chatting to customers and one used to leave early as he wanted to get home to watch Life On Mars(I would have sky+ it myself but maybe he didn't have it?). Every week he would say how good it was but it ...
...prizes for guessing it was Life On Mars(well to be honest it was series two but it looked so utterly fantastic it made me want to watch it from the beginning). I was literally kicking myself that I had missed it but my luck was in as the next week Virgin1 was to run "the successful BBC series Life On Mars"(thank heavens I have sky tv!). I watched the first 3 episodes but just couldn't wait for the next episode so bought series one and two on dvd..what ...

Review of Life On Mars - Series 1 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Would recommend to everyone

Advantages: Better than the last five
Disadvantages: Not a lot of action

...might just be the best Harry Potter film yet. Not only do we see an older Harry Potter which is nothing new as we see him get older with every film! but the viewers also get to delve more into Ron and Hermione characters we see a more successful Ron and a twist of comedy to Hermione's character especially the scene were she is not the best in her class! As well with comedy the movie gets alot darker as with the book, we are given a sneak preview ...
...released. However it does have a sad ending to it, which I will not spoil for those who have not seen the movie. With Christmas coming up this would make a great xmas present for children and adults. In my opinion the film could have had more action in it to reflect the circumstances. ...
