Davies isnt afraid to present this, nor the highs and lows of his process. Of course, theDoctor Whotitbits are very welcome. So there are the Cybermen in the Tardis at the end ofJourneys End. The origin segment of Davros that got cut from the final script due to special effects budget issues. Mickeys future in Torchwood. And then the assistant that never was, Penny, who was eventually usurped by Catherine Tates Donna....
Simon really likes Eraser. And with that in mind, Ive, er, just forked out to import the American Blu-ray release. Not that its particularly worth doing so, to be fair. Furthermore, you cant really applaud the video transfer too much either. The audio track is a bit meatier, but then it was on the DVD as well. So what of the film? Well, Ive got a theory or two. That said, apart from a bit of CGI, everything about it screams early 80s action movie....
Mark wears a headband and often mumbles incoherently through his review of Rambo III on Blu-ray. At this stage in the Rambo chronology theyd done away with having First Blood anywhere in the title. Hes got himself captured by the Russians, who after the Vietnamese are Rambos least favourite nation. Such are the shifting sands of being an ally to the Americans, I fear. Oh no…sorry hang on…thats wrong. I got confused with some other movie....
The second, with a screeplay co-written by James Cameron? In this one the body count is 67 of which Rambo is personally responsible for 57. Not much in this movie makes any sense. The Chinese I could have accepted as vaguely plausible, but Russians? All the actors look like they turned up, accepted a cheque and took one for the Gipper. In terms of selling the superior technology of Blu-ray, this disc doesnt....
The original and the best. Mark meets John Rambo as he enters the high definition arena. His emotional counterpoint is the amazing, and sadly late, Richard Crenna as Col. Samuel Trautman. Yet despite this it curiously received no nominations for any film awards whatsoever. Perhaps it might have faired better had Dustin Hoffman taken the role, as was originally intended. Err…maybe not. As Blu-rays go, this one straddles the boundary between an acceptable transfer and mediocre one....
Babylon A.D. is, surely, the movie to reignite Vin Diesel’s career. Babylon A.D. is, in a nutshell, awesomely awful. If that sounds like a critical contradiction, then god help you when you see the film. Babylon A.D.(orB A.D.if you prefer) will, I imagine, be unanimously mauled by the critics. Ad content continues below Firstly the dialogue. The lines spouted forth seem to be mostly made up of hackneyed cliches. This also has the effect of shattering any emotional outpouring by the characters....
The search for a half-decent spoof movie continues. Which is more than Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer were when they penned this descriptively-titled movie. And you see that there? That joke is about three times as fresh as what youll find in this movie. The small mercy is that there are few jokes that are outright distasteful or obscene. Even fart and crap jokes are kept to a surprising handful....
But it’s the remake! How I wish that was thatRollerballI was reviewing here. Tell us John, where did it all go wrong for you? And those who added the Gladiators promo graphics. And the person who put Jean Reno in here for good measure. What does that add? Rebecca naked isnt the only thing they missed off the extras here.
Can The Science of Evil reproduce the success of hit Guillermo Del Toro cinematic sequel on the Xbox 360? To say thatScience Of Evilhas variation is like suggesting being guillotined has multiple outcomes. Does it haveanythinggood, you might wonder? And you get to play all three during the game. But these specs of gold dont detract from the overall rusting junk nature of this title. Thats because its mainly trash....
Ford plays the fly in this particular ointment as the one-good-cop of Irish ancestry determined to stop him. The end result is a horribly movie-by-numbers mess that does nobody any favours. Fords character isnt much more rounded, taking the cop-with-a-heart to new levels of schmaltz. A deeper insight to what happened withThe Devils Ownmight have come from a commentary track. Thats great, because on this disc there is no commentary....
Here are a further 10 people you probably didnt know were ever inThe X-Files… Ad content continues below Go on, then. Who did I miss?
Hes made some sci-fi classics, such asStargateand Universal Soldier, which I loved. And Im even a fan of the bubble-gumIndependence Day, and even the generally reviledGodzilla. Though I draw the line at the monumentally dumbThe Day After Tomorrow. Lets be honest here, Roland. Ive seen episodes ofScooby Doothat had more character development, witty dialogue and believable monsters than this movie has. If they intended to go down that route, a10,000 BCin 60 seconds would have also been appreciated....
We have a great display room and they love to shoot interviews and stuff there. And he said yeah, why not? And he was great he came in and gave me a whole day. We shot this whole thing in a weekend, and he came in on the second day. And Ill tell you, man, its just great having somebody of his calibre [laughs]. Do you act in it yourself, without all the usual prosthetics?...
