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 ...

Love, the Atlantian way

Advantages: Another brilliant season from Atlantis
Disadvantages: it has to end at some point

.... . . ---What is Stargate Atlantis?--- Put simply, SG Atlantis is a spin off of the incredibly successful Series Stargate SG-1, which is a spin-off of the movie Stargate (confused yet?) The movie centres around the discovery of what they call the Stargate. The Stargate is a huge ring with nine pretty little pictures on it. It works like an old telephone in that you choose your numbers (the pretty pictures), hit dial and the ring spins and what ...
...it, I congratulate you! Stargate SG-1 expands on the idea that life on earth was not started here. It was, in fact, brought here by an extremely advanced alien race. This race happened to be a tad on the evil side and used humans as slaves and carriers for their young (slithery snake type things) as was touched on in the movie. How do they bring it back without ruining the movies ending? Simple! They discover that there is more than one destination. ...

Review of Stargate Atlantis - Series 3 - Complete (DVD)

iRobot, a action packed film, with both humor and story to it.

Advantages: Good acting, good sound effects, and good other special effects, action packed.
Disadvantages: is a little long

I really did enjoy this film, so much so I watched it three times. As i first watched it at quite a young age i didn't fully understand the story. However on the second time of watching it I just understood and it the end all made sence and became clear. This film really was action packed yet somehow they also manged to fit both humor, a love story and a great plot that was unexpected. I have always loved Will Smith as a actor and I feel he did ...
...realtioship with the other main charcter when I watched it the second and third time. I thought it was amazing, that you got to see how different he was when talking to he's Granma conpared to when he was talking to he's boss, friends and girlfriend. And to see how bad he felt and why he did feel so bad. Also why he had such a strong dislike against the robots. Overall I would recomd watching this film, as I would recomd most of the films Will ...

Love... Which Makes The Worlds Go 'Round

Advantages: wonderfully entertaining, detailed enough for enjoyable repeat viewings
Disadvantages: sad endings!

...home for Christmas, but The Doctor is still recovering from his latest regeneration and looks to spending this holiday in a coma. It's up to Rose, Jackie, and Mickey to keep him safe until he recovers. Any easy task... until the Sycorax arrive on earth and hold one third of the world's population hostage! It's a "Christmas Invasion", but will the Doctor recover in time to act once more as the Earth's Champion? Favorite quote: "Ahh, not bad for a ...
...a nice man." ~ The Doctor Season two of Doctor Who unwraps itself with like a Christmas cracker... a bit of noise and flash to celebrate some simple fun. Throughout the season, we see Rose coming to terms with some of the less pleasant aspects of time traveling with the Doctor, and their friendship strengthen. This incarnation of the Doctor seems generally happier than the one we were originally introduced to in the first season, and we get the sense ...

Review of Doctor Who - Series 2 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Firefly: The Show That Could Have Been

Advantages: One of the best shows by Joss Whedon...
Disadvantages: ...cancelled before it can get "bigger"

...Ballad of Serenity" FIREFLY The Show That Could Have Been Joss Whedon is one of the few geniuses in the industry right now, and this show, Firefly, was the TV series that got me hooked on all of Joss Whedon's creations. Firefly seamlessly fused the swashbuckling action of the western genre with the intricate mythos of science-fiction. As always, I've read about all the hype around the web first before finally deciding to watch it. I ...
...Anyway, I'm here to review Firefly and not to mope and feel angry for the canned shows. THE DVD Worth every buck I've bought three copies of this DVD when I found them on sale in a Philippine eBay-like website. I bought one for myself, another for my friend who loved Battlestar Galactica so much and wanted a "filler series" when that show was on a hiatus, and the last one was a gift to my sister who wanted to watch a "different" kind ...
