Illogical. Implausible. Irritating. Injoyable (You're fired - Ed)I had been lead to believe Christian Bale was really annoying in this. He is a bit but not that much. Worst is the cute mute child that saves the day. Hnnng. If you're prepared to ignore the decidedly silly and illogical plot and can gain satisfaction from some people fighting with ( Read more... )

Sam Raimi is back! Doing horror! Again! Etc. Evil Dead 2 is a masterpiece but I'm not entirely sure much else by Mr Raimi is. He's been fairly consistently entertaining I suppose if not mindblowing. Evil Dead 2 is about the closest to that. It's been a while since I've watched it so maybe a rewatch is in order to decide if it's mindblowing ( Read more... )

I've been saving this until last this evening for a grand finale. It's only now I realise that I have now made it, in effect, first. On your friends list this is going to show first. So in a way it's probably best as I'm probably a bit tuckered out after about 2 hours of solid reviewing. So this is likely to be an even more substandard review than ( Read more... )

I've always thought it was the best book of the series and also it's where the film series changes to being really good. I'd had the HD-DVD hanging around since before christmas but finally found just over two hours spare one night to watch it. It was well worth it as well ( Read more... )

I wonder. Is there any point in this? I'm sure you all know Mad Max 2 perfectly well by now. It's been around long enough. I watched my HD DVD of it the other night. So this review will cover how the film holds up these days and the quality of this release. Gosh don't I sound serious there?

The FILM (Gosh a heading ( Read more... )

I believe that Ebert bloke said that there was little point in having a hero who is indestructable. Well clearly he's wrong as Wolverine is ridiculously popular in the comics and films and cartoons etc. Surely the point is that it would be totally cool to be like Wolverine so we watch/read to imagine ourselves in his position. However, don't you ( Read more... )

Okay let's give out a review spoiler in the opening paragraph; why is everyone so easily caught up in the hysteria and hype that can surround a film release? Star Trek has shot into the top 100 on imdb. Sigh. It's really not that good, even though it was quite fun. So let's get on with things shall we ( Read more... )

This film is rated pretty low on imdb. The trailer looked terrible. I doubt you'll find a favourable review from any film critic. I couldn't resist ( Read more... )

I can't remember much about the Witch Mountain films of the past but they have somehow stuck with me. I think it's just something to do with a flying saucer that sticks in my mind. Here's a funny thing though, I could have sworn Robert Vaughan was in the originals but apparently not. He IS in the 90s remake which I wouldn't have seen, though. Which ( Read more... )
