Charlie gets his hands on James Horner’s score for Avatar. And there’s a bit of Leona Lewis too… Having not actually seen the film, I can only speculate. But as far as the album goes, its not necessarily as traditional as some would like. Dont expect an instantly gratifying pulse-pounding blockbuster score, becauseAvataris something else entirely. One thing I can say about the score is that its emotional and incredibly evocative....
Aaron picks out a dozen titles that had visual ramifications for the world of videogames… How genuinely impressive are they, though? Not many games actually make you think wow! Ive never seen anything like that before. Upon arrival, these titles looked radically different from anything else around. The architecture was also great, adding even more to the visual splendour. Killer7 One of my favourite games of all time,Killer7is a visual giant, if an odd one....
And so were audiences. But now John Woo is back, and in more ways than one. And boy, is it worth the wait. And if its sometimes clunky and feels a little rushed, you cant blame Woo for that. Every sword must be unsheathed some day, remarks one of them. With Woo, thats normally the case sooner rather than later. As youd expect or, indeed, hope,Red Cliffs battle scenes are staggering....
Luke Savage examines the film career of the man who gave the world Office Space and Beavis and Butt-Head… He createdBeavis And Butt-Head. He didKing Of The Hilltoo. But for me, the greatest joy of Mike Judge is his work as a filmmaker. These are his films. There are a couple of f-bombs in here. Not that Im potty-mouthed. Its all about the quotes. Plot, as you may have guessed, isnt the raison detre of Judges feature debut....
Carley tells us what makes it so special… When you think of the name Disney a million different memories are suddenly catapulted through your brain. You will not be disappointed. Right, Im off to wish upon a star. Rating: 5 out of 5
They can make or break a movie. Luke has chosen ten though that we’d happily never see again in our lives… Behind every great hero lies a great sidekick. Holmes had Watson, Han had Chewie, Turner had Hooch. But what happens when the hero gets short-changed? When theyve run out of good sidekicks and all that are left are the rubbish ones? Well, sometimes youve got to take what youre given and play the hand youve been dealt....
I certainly wouldnt buy it for myself, because its shit. However, kids dont actually have any taste, so thats not a problem. Yes, finally you have the chance to own a bright-green giraffe with pink spots. This includes feeding them, playing with them and throwing them toys. Frankly, I wouldnt recommend anyone buyWorld Of Zoo, parents or otherwise. Although children might actually enjoy the very shallow interaction it offers, the lack of educational value is worrying....
Here are Harry’s suggestions… 10. Sensible Soccer The single greatest football game ever created. Ad content continues below 9. Street Fighter 3: Third Strike 8. Chrono Trigger The JRPG that still, to this day, defines JRPGs. You wont find a better, or purer, deathmatch experience this side of a blue moon. Mario 64 Sometimes first steps are tentative, unsure and stumbling. Not this time, though. Nintendos mascot leapt into the third dimension with confidence and flair....
It’s easy to get pumped up over an upcoming videogame, only to have your hopes dashed. That’s certainly what happened here… 10. Next time, try making a whole game that lives up to the hype, not just half. Ad content continues below 9. What it actually offered, sadly, was stick straight linearity and bad acting. What it should have caused controversy for is being abject rubbish. Or SCAT for short....
Duncan does not love G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra. Settle back for his rant of the year… This review contains spoilers. Well, as much as there can be for plotless nonsense. Some of you might remember that several months ago I wrote a piece entitledHopes and Fears forG.I. Still, as one reader commented, Quite frankly, I think youll love this movie. Cause theres no way this movie can be any worse thanVantage Point, and you like Dennis Quaid....
Very few anybodies are any good at anything. The focus really goes. This was my first experience of Tony Law and I was very impressed. The targets are emigrants (yes, emigrants!) and the cast ofTop Gearand, specifically, Richard Hammond. If anything, hes getting better. The segment has been fleshed out considerably and is a fitting finale to an excellent set. Cue uneasy expressions on audience members faces and Lee shouting, DONT YOU DARE LEAVE!...
Jason investigates the mythical game Polybius. Did it ever exist? Could it be the trippiest videogame ever? Here’s what he found out… This brings me to my topic du jour. This time, we are going to take a look atPolybius, the alleged game of DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! In the early 80s, arcades were the cool place to go. There were home videogames, but they didnt compare to the quality of arcade video games....
However, films that will usually be allocated this title will share certain characteristics. Despite the vintage Freudian psychological cliches, this good twin/evil twin plot is interesting and generally quite original. A man is murdered, and witnesses place Ruth Collins as being at the scene of the crime. The mystery deepens when it turns out that Ruth has a twin sister, Terry. Good performances also come from the strong supporting cast....
