The System is Perfect...Until it comes after you
Advantages: Good cast and storyline
Disadvantages: A tad too long
I'd caught sections of Minority Report when it had been on television - numerous times - but until last week I'd never actually seen it the whole way through. There were a couple of reasons for this with the firs being that normally I find the film is on late at night when I really want to settle down to sleep and two that the idea for the film isn't one that would normally interest me. I did think however it was probably about time I saw it and ...
...it a go. Minority Report like I have already mentioned stars Tom Cruise and is a sci-fi type film that was released in 2002. The year is 2054 and the base for the story is Washington DC which thanks to an outstanding technology that can identify killers before they even commit their crimes, has been free of murder for six-years. This technology and the unit that houses it is known as Precrime and is able to complete the job it does because of three ...

Bug war!
Advantages: Awesome scifi war movie adapted from a novel
Disadvantages: Could have been a bit longer
The Earth is coming under a new alien threat from bugs! They even drop a meteor on Brazil (an idea they stole from Jerry Niven's novel Footfall) and the worlds Governments decide that a hard miltary strike back at them is the only solution. Paul Verhoeven is an excellent director. I liked this and I'd also previously liked Total Recall which he also directed. Micheal Ironside is truly brilliant in this and very well cast in his role indeed. He always ...
...a change he's actually a good guy. He gets some excellent lines, some seriously good action fight scenes and gets to die in an action filled way. The soccer type scene was stolen from at least 2 other movies (one starring Dean Cain and Wesley Snipes which I can't remember the tile of, and it also looked a bit like the really rubbish remake of Rollerball). The chunky blond chap who looks like a young Gary Busey (the one who gets a knife in the hand ...

I want your boots, your clothes and your Camel!
Advantages: Quite funny, not too much dialogue, great music score! A stunned Camel!
Disadvantages: Atrocious acting, lots of pointless groping!
...inspiration for the character of Conan the Barbarian came from the books by Robert E Howard, the barbarian was also known as Conan the Cimmerian, as this was where he hailed from in the original books published in the 1930's. The stories were originally published in the pulp magazine ' Weird Tales '. As a literary character Conan has stature, many are the stories where tall, long haired barbarians are portrayed with there hulking muscles and barbaric ...
...With the release of Conan in 1982 finally there was a film that could do justice to the books, roughly half a century after Conan saw print the film was about to be unleashed.
Although a good film in its own right, the connections with the original stories are quite loose, only a few characters get a strong mention. The film was written by the unlikely pairing of Oliver Stone and John Milius and the script draws material from a number of stories ...

Save the Cheerleader; Save Me From Boredom
Advantages: Very entertaining, good plot and characters
Disadvantages: Don't buy this DVD - buy the whole series.
...find out what happens next! Heroes is a programme that I always heard great things about and always wanted to try, but since until recently all the DVDs were unreasonably expensive, I only got to watch it for the first time last week. I’m not sure how legal it is to watch TV shows online without paying, but since all episodes of Heroes are available to watch on NBC.com if you live in the United States, I don’t feel too bad about watching them elsewhere ...
...down the line anyway! Heroes is a science fiction series, with the premise being that there are some people in the world who have special abilities that us normal people don’t have. Examples include a Japanese man who can bend space and time, a woman in Texas who can remember everything that she reads, and a man in New York City who can paint the future. The prominent geneticist Dr Suresh has been investigating these people and if there is a way ...

Is this our Future
Advantages: original plot, quality special effects
Disadvantages: you need to keep a broad open mind
...16
The story of Minority report takes place in the future America 2054, due to the help of three psycic's it is now scientificaly possibble to predict acts of murder that are committed spontanously in the near future. No one bothers with pre meditated murder anymore as it is easily pick up. The pre-crime department is responsible for collecting data and finding out when and where the murder will take place and preventing it from happening. Tom Cruise ...
...work within every scene of Minority report have really excelled themselves. The futuristic technology is amazing and yet at the same time seems perfectly plausible that in around 50 years time we really could be living like that... almost. This is a nice action packed film which supplies the viewer with a nice steady stream of fascination and violence while abstaining from long boring scenes of talking. when they are actually talking this is very ...
