...prepared to suspend disbelief, then 24 is unlikely to disappoint you. And Series 5 is no exception. Jack Bauer has to return to CTU 18 months after having faked his own death, to get to the bottom of a major conspiracy and help those he loves. This series starts off with a BANG! I definitely did not expect the first episode to start off with such a cliffhanger and unexpected event. Sorry I can't be more specific, but I don't want to spoil the storyline ...
...gets you hooked instantly. It is definitely a series that shows you the more emotional side to Jack Bauer, and once again Chloe is a formidable character with her balance of outright rudeness and formidable loyalty to Jack Bauer. I'd say that the twists and turns in this series are better than ever, and the new president is definitely a great addition to the plot. With a mixture of old and new characters, this series entertwines the old and new ... Read review

Advantages: its amazing
Disadvantages: its a little too amazing so it makes the real world look boring

...word i absolutely love watching 24 the first five series were fantastic and it just gets better with series six. It's hard to review this without giving away the amzing twists to the plot and you would be devatated if i told you what was going to happen before it did. If you like the other 5 series you will love this as it is as full of action, explosions and twists as the other five put together. The thing that makes this better than the others ...
...many of the previously minor charecters characters such as Milo and morris. Add that to seeing Jack bite through a mans neck and seeing a whole new side of the messed up Bauer family and you have an amazing series. Seriously watch it just make sure you have a lot of free time as you might not be able to stop till its over. Can't wait for series 7 ... Read review

From Hell is a 2001 film directed by The Hughes Brothers. Based on a similarly named graphic novel it is about the Jack the Ripper story from the point of view of the investigating detective Abberline played by Johnny Depp. The film starts in the seedy White Chapel area of London (I don't know much about London but I do know Whitechapel was one of the crappy brown properties in monopoly.) A small group of prostitute friends meeting with an old friend ...
...playing another policeman. A girl from the group of friends has been brutally murdered. Abberline usually has visions about such occurrences but he says to have not seen this one but another. One by one the girls are picked off. A man in a fine coach always approaches them and lures them in with grapes. Then leaves them horribly mutilated and lacking certain organs. Abberline along the way enlists the help of the royal physician played by Ian Holm ... Read review

As Hyde's visits become more frequent, Jackman must seclude himself and keep Hyde under observation with the help of Katherine Reimer (played by Michelle Ryan). ...

I recently joined an online DVD club and Mr Brooks was the first film to be sent to me, as I work nights and am a bit of a wimp I decided to watch this film during the day in Bed, the result was I didn't get much sleep, not because it was overly spooky and I was scared to sleep but because it was a truelly gripping film and I did not want to miss a second of it. Mr Brooks Is definatly one of the best films I have had the pleasure of watching this ... Read review
