Bugs

Another day, another made for TV movie on demand. And if yesterday's 23 Days of Fear was surprisingly impressive, todays "Bugs" wasn't. The premise of oversized bugs being woken from 65 millions years of sleep by a ...

So I was browsing through the on-demand movies on BT Vision - Picturebox yesterday and couldnt settle on one I was in the mood for. I randomly picked this one however, not knowing anything about ...

Flood (2007)

It should have been good. The idea was good. The effects were good. The location good. But somehow, Flood just doesn't work. The plot seems to be a mess, some of the acting distinctly dodgy, & the pace of the ...

The History Boys

In Her Shoes

In Her Shoes

Serenity

Serenity

If you like sci-fi with a dose of realism I think you’ll love Serenity. It’s a film I watched with no clue what to expect but it was really enjoyable. A great story, a great cast and some clever special effects ...

King Kong

King Kong

Disappointments come in all shapes and sizes. But some of them are just massive. King Kong is one huge donkey dropping of a disappointment. For starters, there should have been some serious editing in there. Just how much running and ...

It's all about the story...

It’s all about the story…

Wednesday, February 15, 2006 1:51

Yes there’s hype, yes there’s controversy, but at the heart of it, this film has a good story, well told, which is all I ever want. It’s a strange one though. I watched it thinking ‘What’s the fuss?’ I then ...
