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)

Parallel Universes! enough said

Advantages: Every Changing Locations
Disadvantages: Bit cheesy at times

Sliders was a great concept where a student scientist creates a sliding device where he can teleport to various parallel universes where its the same year but where certain events being different the outcomes in that world reflect that. I enjoy seeing where the gang end up next, and getting John Rhys-Davies to play as proffesor Arturo was just ingenius. You can't help but think your watching Lord of the Rings by mistake. The episodes get better ...
...any good tv series. Sliders isn't great with modern days special effects, but in its day it was right up there with effects and i still think its a great watch and will always be remembered as a classic. There are 6 discs which contain a total of 22 episdoes. There are also Bonus features such as the making of sliders, and a photo Gallery Audio commentary from the creaters is also a bonus option This film would suit people who like adventures ...

Review of Sliders - Series 1 And 2 (DVD)

The greatest sci-fi show i have ever seen !

Advantages: The greatest sci-fi show ever
Disadvantages: Slow starting

...masterpiece in BSG. Babylon 5's only downfall is the crusade mini-series. Despite Gary Coles contribution as a brilliant actor the series never takes off and you may find yourself just skipping over the sequel. In short, buy this fantastic set. On top of the five seasons there is such an array of extra little movies to enjoy and keeps you entertained over 100 hours. ...

Is Spock Cesc Fabregas?

Advantages: Big screen treat
Disadvantages: Not for DVD

...player, also the case with Star Trek, and unless you have a huge TV or Blue-Ray then the modern action movie suffers in translation. Star Trek is quite simply one of those big budget movies you have to see at the cinema to get any real buzz from it, director JJ Abrahams all about movies that enjoy using the entire screen space. It's all very frustrating wandering what you can't see in the top left hand corner of your wide-screen DVD screen that the ...
...a bar hitting on female Star Fleet cadets after dropping out of Star Fleet officer school, taking a shine to sexy young communications officer Uhura (Zoë Saldana), a fist fight soon ensuing. But he's soon talked around to mend his ways and on the next shuttle up to Starfleet head quarters, Capt. Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood), a friend of his father, his new mentor. The concurrent storyline is that of Nero (Eric Bana), the captain of a Romulan ...

Review of Star Trek

You Look Like a Radioactive Tampon

Advantages: Great Direction and Acting
Disadvantages: Too Slow for some

Moon reminds me a lot of those big weighty Sci-fi films of the seventies where it was all about atmosphere, storyline and your imagination rather than riotous special effects and wise cracking aliens. This film is utterly beguiling, its tense but strangely relaxing, all of these is down to two men, the director Duncan Jones and the star Sam Rockwell. This is Jones' first feature film and its an incredibly impressive debut, he eschewed using his father ...
...it is a really fantastic film which is a credit to him. Starring Sam Rockwell as Sam, the only worker on an automated lunar mining complex. He has been working on his own for nearly three years and nearing the end of his term in space he feels lonely, isolated and confused....as anyone would, I imagine. With only a droid, Gerty (Voiced by Kevin Spacey) for company, Sam is alone and starts to feel a world apart from Earth, he feels he is alone but ...
