Can a low-budget horror impress Anthony? Surprise, surprise, it turns out the rumours are true, as they learn first-hand. I wont spoil the end of the film; it can do that perfectly well on its own. Along with the beginning and middle. The cast, however enthusiastic they are, sadly cant provide that jump for me. But its not wholly the actors fault. In fact, the whole goddamn town of Sauquoit is dumb....
Spoilers lie ahead, as we highlight the movie teachers we’d hate to be taught by… The movies are full of inspirational teachers, principals and good guys. But what about the educators youd forge notes from your parents to avoid? Here are our suggestions… Youve got Morgan Freeman inLean On Me. Edward James Olmos inStand And Deliver. Robin Williams inDead Poets Society. Michelle Pfeiffer inDangerous Minds. The marvellous Richard Dreyfus inMr Hollands Opus....
Has Ben just found the worst film he’s ever seen? Quick quiz for you. Any idea what these films have in common:Pocket Ninjas,Night Train To MundoandDaniel Der Zauberer? Yes, these films are not just bad. They are the very worst. I mean, think of all the films that get made over the years. I know I have. Mine used to be a tie betweenSteel MagnoliasandTitanic(the only film Ive ever walked out of)....
Is Zombieland the American take on something like Shaun Of The Dead? However, that would be unfair. Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) is a very unlikely survivor of the zombie apocalypse. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) is the polar opposite of Columbus. Hes a big, strong, creative zombie-killing machine. Not that theres a lot of traffic in Zombieland, but the two could be nothing less alike. I guess thats why their dysfunctional friendship blossoms....
and Number 3 (DAnna aka Xena The Warrior Princess). This takes the memories away, and it sounds like the ultimate threat in Cylon society. But not, predictably, the three whod just left the room, who are stranded in a garage. There too is Anders, who has some proverbial jousting with Number 3. Never let it be said thatBattlestar Galacticamakes things nicely black and white for you. In the end, both Sharon and Number 6 agree to fight the perception of humans among the Cylons....
Billy Crystal turns director in this Oscar-nominated comedy-drama… Billy Crystal can do funny. All are funny characters, if not exactly of the laugh out loud variety. How does a celebrity cope when it all comes to an end? How would that affect both their state of mind and the relationships they hold with those surrounding them? He wasnt always like that as flashbacks to his younger days show. Hunt is a slight misstep, although this is as much down to her rather thankless role as anything....
The patchy twelfth season of The Simpsons makes its DVD bow… So, season 12 sits between two extremes, and is decidedly patchy as a result. There is gold to be had here, though, in such episodes asLisa The TreehuggerandSkinners Sense Of Snow. Bart stages a revolt (mau di di mau!). Material like this really shows as a bad stain on an otherwise great franchise. With this in mind, season 12 ends up being very much a 50/50 affair....
Hes then deployed on the Pegasus, to help out its new Commander, Barry Garner. How he never ended up reported to social services in those films remains something of a mystery. Certainly compared to Admiral Cain and the Pegasus clearly lives in her shadow he struggles to hack it. His answer is to blame Starbuck, and order a rescue mission. After all, it allows them to lure Colonial ships out in small groups and take them out....
It would be immodest of us to show off our high calibre, smudge-laden, wonky-fest of a sketch. Read on, true believer! So, Neil, what made you want to become a comic artist? I think Ive always done it. And thats what started me on the road for drawing. And Ive always loved to draw. You know, Id been in a dream all the time, thinking that Im going to make it....
Luc Besson’s English-language breakthrough movie, how does Leon fare in high definition? Gary Oldmans Stansfield is a bit of a marmite character. I personally love his performance as the deranged, out of control antagonist. His filmography, to date, has been mostly a downward spiral postLeon. Its not without its awkward moments. I find certain aspects ofLeona little uncomfortable in places. The Disc The transfer to Blu-ray struck me as a little odd....
The best chapter of the Tales Of Monkey Island adventure to date arrives… Episode 3, ahoy! If youve not played any of the previous chapters however, as always, be warned there bespoilersere. Players of the previous episodes will know the story by now. This is a well-crafted and well-written instalment, and one that Id strongly recommend. Top notch, and as usual, I eagerly await the continuation. Rating: 4 out of 5
And shes not having a good time. For weve got Cylons back in the show once more. This time it comes down to pilot savvy, and not being caught with your proverbial pants down. In short, this is one of the toughest missions for the Vipers yet. And Starbuck, bluntly, isnt on top form. The mental state hes in, theyre clearly a match made in heaven. Hence, hes a tough old bird....
John Carpenter’s Starman gets solid 1080p treatment, on a fairly forgettable Blu-ray… Coming across a lock of his hair, Starman changes his appearance to look like him. His childlike innocence in this role is captivating to watch and his jerky alien movements are consistent throughout. The Film: Rating: 4 out of 5
