Will Smith stars in a contender for one of the worst films of 2008… I need a name. Someone in the system. Having a really hard time. I mean it, too. Will Smith has flirted with greatness on many occasions remember Michael MannsAli? and still turns in seemingly effortless crowd-pleasing turns as if theyre his second nature. Hes some talent, and inSeven Pounds, he gives another good performance. The supporting cast too ofSeven Poundsis fine....
More late-night magical mayhem for Stiller and company - but is the magic really still there…? Sadly,Smithsonianfalls into that category. Well, we both had something in common there, then. This leads me on to Amy Adams Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly the Atlantic Ocean. His portrayal of Kahmunrah is nothing short of amazing. Azaria steals all of his scenes wholesale, and has great chemistry with Stiller in their scenes together....
After a nine year break, an old favourite returns to the ring. Can it reclaim its belt, or will it be knocked out in the first round? When the originalReady 2 Rumble Boxingdebuted on the Dreamcast in 1999, it was something different. Instead, you get to take your pick from a selection of badly designed clones of mainstream entertainment celebrities. For instance, theres Hilarious D, a Jack Black clone in school uniform....
Driving monster trucks should be fun. Only in this case, it isn’t. Theres also a small selection of mini-games to play if you get bored of the main attraction. For a start, the trucks all seem to be exactly the same apart from minute physical differences. Also, the graphics arent completely rubbish, but just a bit rubbish. Rating: 1 out of 5
So whats gone wrong? It cant be down to the majestic scripts, which deliver tons of snappy one-liners and laughs a-plenty. Happily, the high standard of the season never dips from there.

Alec Baldwin deserves your attention. Extras:A five-star series deserves, but rarely receives, a five-star DVD treatment....
Can the creator of rhythm games regain its throne? Love them or hate them, theyre here to stay. Theyre not awful, but just cant cut it when the competition has full track lists of master recordings. So, what about the all-important instruments? I could be wrong, though; they may have just been on hard drugs at the time. Theyre also all different shapes and sizes, adding to newcomers confusion. They also sound terrible when struck, much louder and jarring than ether theGHorRBofferings....
A first person shooter not worth putting on your shopping list… Dreamed about being Jack Bauer in24? Well, keep on dreaming, as you wont find your answers here. The game casts you as Agent Pierce (a nod to24s Aaron Pierce, perhaps?) and takes place during the inauguration day of the next fictional US president. This isnt the action of a small group of terrorists though, oh no. Surely this is a job for the FBI, or even the armed forces?...
Mark lowers his phaser as JJ Abrams' long-awaited Star Trek pre-boot proves itself to be galaxy-class. Messing with that creative heritage, Id suggest, is akin to redesigning Mickey Mouse. Orders dont get much taller than that. I therefore came to this eleventhStar Trekmovie with a degree of scepticism. Would J.J. trample on my childhood memories or respect them with the deference I so baldy wanted? But my fear was greater than that....
This document links up the Presidents campaign office with the possible source of the murders. The cinematography is okay, but not spectacular. Roberts and Washington put in okay performances, but they are nothing near what they are both capable of. In this case, though, they are hampered by the material. Ad content continues below As a movie, this is definitely just a two star. The transfer of print to Blu-ray is good....
The Watchmen side-story comes into its own on this DVD release… If youve just seenThe Watchmenfilm, then youll probably be a little disappointed withTales Of The Black Freighter. It wont make any sense to you. And so, here we are. Its so magnificently paced and put together that even the slightest alteration might tip the balance. Theres simply nothing bad to say about this piratical tale of ghost and gore....
Henry Jackmans original score takes no risks whatsoever. It gives us the obvious buildups, the necessary tension, the soaring release…and nothing more. Its not poor composition, but its stiflingly textbook. This music is good, but it isnt loveable. The B-52s, the Little River Band, The Exciters. Its not a totally worthless purchase, but one its difficult to recommend overall. Monsters Vs. Aliens soundtrack is outnow. Rating: 1 out of 5
all hitting the screens. This is also true of theGhosts Of Mars,which is essentiallyAssault On Precinct 13…in space. It has Carpenter just acknowledging what he did right in the 80s and copying it (in space). As such, we have a situation that mirrorsAssaultperfectly, with both guards and prisoners set together. While we also get small cameos from Pam Grier and Jason Stratham (cool! But hey, its in High-Def, right? So, really the movie could be saved by the quality of the print and the extras....
Jason Biggs, Kate Hudson and Dane Cook star in one of the worst comedies of recent times. Im not in a hurry to do so again. I usually have a soft spot for raucous comedies, but there are all sorts of problems here. Firstly, the plot. ), who wants to take his relationship with Kate Hudsons nauseating Alexis to the next stage. Shes reluctant, and its up to Tank to get things sorted....
