Thriller & Mystery

Advantages: It's a gory game alright…
Disadvantages: … but it's not played well

Saw [film only] I wonder what made me watch Saw again; probably I wanted to find out what led to its success and consequently to the sequels that followed. It was a low-budget horror film that was filmed in 18 days only, and probably you won't fail to notice this when you watch it. It begins with the dilemma of two men who don't know each other and who woke up to find each of them tied to a wall by a chain round one foot in a big, dirty public bathroom. ...
...What I didn't like about Saw I is that I felt the game wasn't played well, which is harsh to say considering that it is a life-or-death game, yet this is what appeared to me. It is easy enough to comprehend that the game revolves around one's ability to fight to stay alive. The main character John was diagnosed with cancer, and he is sick of the people who do not "appreciate their blessings". So, he gives them the chance to fight for this life that ... Read review

Disadvantages: none - it is perfect =)

Don't get me started on Spooks.. I love it! The first series is a fantastic introduction to the best production on the BBC this millenium! Yes, that is quite a claim, I know. These 6 episodes show the viewer what makes a Spook, some of the decisions they face, the conflicts they have with their personal lives, the quick thinking, the gadgets. Oh, it's great. If you are not hooked on the first episode, just give the second episode a try. You will ...
...not! If you like to watch something that keeps you thinking and guessing throughout, this is for you. The first series introduces us to all of the main characters adequately. You will be left wanting to know more. The focus on Tom's personal conflicts is a good touch, and emphasises the point many times that being a Spook is a top secret job, and comes with many difficulties. You want Tom and Ellie to work, but you know that it probably won't. The ... Read review

Advantages: Episodes right length and not too long, interesting stories
Disadvantages: Some episodes can be disappointing compared to others

Tales of the Unexpected are a series of stories that have been adapted to be show on television. The stories are very different to each other but the one thing that they have in common is that they all tend to have an unexpected twist. Most of the time, these are very hard to guess. Tales of the Unexpected ran from 1979 to 1988. There were 9 series. The one that I am reviewing is the complete first series. I have just started to collect these as ...
...I came across them I remembered how much I used to like watching them years ago. I wasn't born when the first series was released but can remember my mum watching these in later years and that is how I started to get into them. I enjoy short stories with a twist (as you will also see from my Alfred Hitchcock Presents review) and have been enjoying watching these. This series comes in a two disc set. Six episodes are on the first disc and three episodes ... Read review
