Review of I Am Legend (DVD)

Yes... I am a little anxious to whoop ET's ass!

Advantages: Huge huge special effects and amazing explosions
Disadvantages: I love America...just a bit too much!

I do love a film that makes me think....thwe first time I saw this film I left the cinema, bought a poster of the big ship blowing up the White House and stared at it for days...I kid you not! This film was one of the first Summer Blockbuster films to be marketed as a Blockbuster before it had even been released. Just imagine waking up one day and seeing huge ships (in the book they say they are 15 miles wide which in the film it doesnt do justice) ...
...are all over the world. How would you react? Well in true American style we see a huge variety of reactions, from people running from the cities (clutching TVs and stereos oh please!) to whole communities in camper vans escaping to the wilderness. This film is again heavy on pro american rhetoric, but when you see through that there is a highly enjoyable film with huge amounts of action. In some Muslim countries the film was heavily edited, removing ...

Review of Independence Day (DVD)

Jumper bit like marmite?

Advantages: Jamie bell atleast gave me a few laughs along the way
Disadvantages: Hayden Christensen was it me or did he mumble most of his lines ?

Jumper the idea that around us are people capable of teleporting at will to any place on earth imagine the trouble you would cause with that power, as would anyone lucky enough. The film held the first position in its opening weekend with $27.3 million, the negative reviews remained a constant problem for the film. However personally they would be something I would agree with, however I would not give it as low as some people would. I just felt ...
...story centers around a young Jumper called David rice we meet him at 15 where he learns his special power of being able to teleport so to speak. Thus getting him out of a near death experience, however others not knowing his ability assume he has died. He then moves away from his drunk father at 15 and seeks to live his own life he does this by using his talent to gain financial stability for himself, I wonder if you can guess how ?

...sub~episode thats about two minutes long including only the tachicoma's. 09.CHAT! CHAT! CHAT! Doesn't this title sound truly breathtaking? This could be one of the most exciting episodes ever seen on Japanese television. Though sadly in reality it's not, it is in fact the most boring episode from this series. There is another nut cracking example of such tedium but only in the next series. In this awful episode of mindless gibberish we have the ...

Review of Ghost In The Shell - Stand Alone Complex - Vol.3 (DVD)

Nothing Stays Lost Forever

Advantages: Entertaining and different to other series
Disadvantages: A bit far fetched in places

The Triangle is a 3 part mini series, which was shown on the Sci-Fi Channel and then aired on BBC quite recently (end of May I believe). It is split into three parts: Night One, Night Two and Night Three. In total it has a running time of 4 hours as each part is around an hour and twenty minutes. I stumbled across this by accident when looking on my online rental website. I read the little blurb and thought it sounded good so added it. I really didn't ...
...scene set in 1492 in the Sargasso Sea in the South Atlantic. What appears to be a Spanish ship experiences some strange events. The sea is rough and then a large liner appears in view which is clearly not from that time. The crew of the ship are shocked and before they know it the liner has disappeared and some of the men vanish into thin air. This strange occurrence doesn't really make sense at the time but it makes you wonder what connection it ...
