Needs an update .
This is a real awesome game with great playability and is well worth a look . My only problem is with the graphics . They are so out of date that they ruin the game big time . Everything is fine when you are n your bike going real fast but as soon as you fall off the bike and walk slowly you realize all the houses , tr...

A haunting film filled with beautiful imagery
I know this movie may not be to all tastes but I liked it very much . A lot . If I didn't know any better I'd say it still WAS the 70s thanks to the unique atmosphere the movie creates . Cinematography was brilliant . There are many scenes warmly lit with orange sunlight and it is very pleasant on the eye . This made K...

A good Ben Dover DV
There is a good selection of women on this Ben Dover DVD and it's worth the money for sure . The first girl is Carla , who's husband has set up a surprise birthday present for her . The surprise is a DP from Pascal and Mario . She changes into a sexy outfit , pisses on Mario ( this is cut ) and quickly moves onto sex ,...

Dog ? Where ?
I saw a bit of Dog Day Afternoon when I was about nine years old and left it this long before actually focusing on watching the whole film . Despite claiming to be the film expert that I am , I had little knowledge of what the film is actually about . Sonny and Sal ( that's Pacino and John Cazale ) and some other guy e...

A pretty good mystery .
Okay , we understand that a Scooby-Doo mystery is not going to be in the same league as a Citizen Kane mystery . But Scooby has good movies and bad movies just like any other Mega-Star . I'm pleased to say that Where's My Mummy is in the former category . Velma is assisting an archaeological dig in Egypt ( on the Sphin...

What the problem is ?
I usually don't like Martin Lawrence and I find his anti-white humor to be quite offensive as well as his string of bad movies . But compared to his other movie of 2003 ( that would be the shockingly awful Bad Boys II ) , National Security is a rather easy-going and light-hearted cop comedy flick with quite a few good ...

Poor man's GTA is actually quite fun
True Crime owes a lot , if not everything , to the Grand Theft Auto series . Indeed it is very difficult these days to have a free-roaming action game and not compare it to GTA but True Crime is so alarmingly similar that I'm surprised Rockstar didn't try to sue . The story of True Crime is right out of a direct-to-vid...

This is one of the first Tom and Jerry shorts that doesn't take place inside a generic 1940s house but inside , as the title would suggest , a bowling alley .

In doing so , Phantasm IV becomes the most atmospheric and haunting one yet . Just don'...

Great beat-em-up indeed !
This game really needs a re-release on the GBA . It's perfect hand-held fodder . But don't let that put you off if you see it in the arcade .

Silver Bullet is my favorite of Steven King's horror adaptations ( yes , I do like this better than The Shining ) .

This time the gang head off to Scotland to see the Highland Games and visit Blake castle , Daphne's ancestral home . And wouldn't you know , the castle happens to ...

Better than the first
Anyone who knows me knows how much I loathed the first movie . It was truly wretched . Though this one was surprisingly good . It had better ( or just less annoying ) characters that you don't want to die ( the first movie made the mistake of being populated with awful characters ) , more inventive death attacks and de...

Aw , shucks
Honestly , who in their right mind would turn down Charlie Dog ? He's so cute and lovable . And his desperation to be loved as much as he loves back just makes him even cuter . I would love to Charlie Dog as my pet . Why does Porky Pig feel such a strong resentment towards him ? You guess is as good as mine . After Cha...

Loads of action , without the nasty violence .
The Transporter has oft been compared to the dreck that is xXx . And it always comes out on top . Why ? Well , both of them star a bald-headed man , cut to be the next big action star , and feature stunts galore , as well as babes , foreign locations and cool cars . But Mark " Silly Voice " Vincent is no more than a pi...

What a view !
Okay , I'm going to lose a lot of fans by saying that I really liked Roger Moore as James Bond . He was the quintessential 007 . Timothy Dalton was the most realistic . Connery is overrated and Brosnan is just a show-off . I'm looking forward to seeing what Daniel Craig can bring to the character . However , by the tim...

A show that could never be anymore
If The Trap Door were to debut in 2006 then it would be low-grade CGI crap with no atmosphere or icky moments . What does that tell you about the current crop of PC-trash children's programming ? As it is , The Trap Door was an icon of 80s children's television . ' ooever knew that plasticine models could be so effecti...

Great sci-fi fantasy
I enjoyed the 80's version of Appleseed when I was a teenager and when I learned of the 2004 reboot I immediately went out and got myself a copy of the DVD . It was pretty damn good and figured that it was a one-off . But now we have this sequel which proves that there is actually loads of potential and imagination in ...

Donald is off on a trek through the wilderness following a railroad track with one of those red polka-dot sacks on a stick ( what is the deal with that ? ) . And he's very hungry . He comes across Pete's shack ( big , bad Pete appears to be some kind of railroad worker in this cartoon ) and tries to steal some dinner ....

Great film about relationships and character
From this excellent movie . Ang Lee perfectly and convincingly captures the look and feel of two dysfunctional families in 1970s rural America . The acting is so good that in some scenes you cringe when ignorant characters make fools of themselves . The film is split right down the middle . First of all we have the sto...

Good Day
While the original Dawn of the Dead is , undoubtedly , the zenith of Zombie movies , I must admit ' Day ' is my favourite so far . It would be hard to follow-up Dawn with a superior film and Day met with much apathy on its release . Which really isn't fair . Shorter ( Dawn was extremely long ) and easier to swallow in ...

You can't keep a good guy down !
The Chucky films have had a curious consistency in the decline of horror and the incline of humour . Child's Play was played straight for chills . Yes , it was ridiculous but had a rather mean-spirited edge to it that made you forget how silly it was . Child's Play 2 was less savage but with a touch more humour . Child...

Peter Hyams ' remake of Richard Fleisher's 1952 The Narrow Margin focuses more on atmosphere and scenery than it does film noir . It does make for a cool , if a bit too short , movie . Gene Hackman is the loudmouth Deputy DA desperate to get a big daddy mob boss behind bars . And when a shy book editor witnesses a mob ...

This film is called ' Show me Love ' in the culturally repressed UK for obvious reasons . It is a really cool movie that I enjoyed a great deal . It focuses on 2 Swedish teenage girls and how they fall in love with each other but can't bring themselves to admit it . An assortment of awkward situations prevent that from...

There was so much about The Dresden Files that appealed to me . I like noir-ish detective stuff and fantasy fiction . This show crossed them both perfectly and offered an interesting new story with every episode . So what do the execs at the Sci-Fi Channel do ? They cancel it . And it's not because the rating were low ...

Disney on ice
I'm always partial to the Disney cartoons set in winter with the quaint Victorian looks to the countryside and enchanting atmosphere ( such as 1935s ' On Ice ' ) . It looks brilliant here in this cartoon and I'm pleased to say it's one of the more inventive and clever Donald Duck shorts . This time round the irritable ...

This is one 80's movie ! Which is fine considering that particular decade gave us so much nostalgia . I just feel weird giving Blind Date 4 stars because , even though it's great , it does contain a highly distressing ' disco ' scene that will make you cringe . Walter Davis ( Bruce Willis in his first movie ) is a stre...

Stomps all over Roland Emmerich's Godzilla
Only once in a rare while are we treated to a movie so innovative and unique . It's sad to think that there will only be so many film-going experiences like Cloverfield in my life while the void is filled with more generic fare . In terms of story it is very similar to the awful 1998 clunker Godzilla , but is a world a...

After the abysmal failure of Alien 3 , David Fincher held his breath for three years and made a new start with Se7en . His signature style of direction is all over it .

King Arthur movies are a dime a dozen .
