This has got to be the worst film remake of a classic TV series ever. I watched Thunderbirds as a kid and it was brilliant, goodness knows what they were trying to do with this film but it stinks.Even the wooden puppets in the original series could act better.If Gerry Anderson was dead he would be turning in his grave at this effort.90 minutes of my life I won't get back !!!!

This is by far the best of the Next Generation Star Trek films and probably second only to 'Star Trek IV The Voyage Home' in terms of all the Star Trek films. Its almost a direct continuation of the TNG episodes "The Best of Both Worlds" in which Jean Luc Picard is assimalated by the Borg.

The story has been told by many other reviewers, so I will not repeat that. However, I will say that here you get an excellent story, which is well directed by Jonathan Frakes, and above all a marvellous leading performance by Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean Luc Picard.

The 2nd disc contains hours and hours of extras which are well worth watching. You can see from the interviews on the extras disc the enthusiasm of all those involved ... Read More:

The Librarian
Indiana Jones Trilogy 2007


Building on the success of the first Librarian film this second installment sees Noah Wyle reprise his role as Flynn Carson "The Librarian"

Like the previous film this one is exceedingly fun, combining a large amount of action and comedy. Along the way 'Carson' (Wyle) is joined on his mission by another archaeologist 'Emily' (Anwar) and a tribesman 'Jomo' plus the occassional word of advise from 'Judson' (Newhart) and an old family friend 'Uncle Jerry' (Foxworth).

pursued by bad guys along the way this is a must for anyone who grew up watching Indiana Jones. and as a bonus watch out for the 3rd installment in December 08'

The first film with 'the Borg' as the main villians and its about time. Without a doubt, this is by far the best film of the franchise. More Star Trek movies should be made like this. This is a film for everyone, whether you are a Star Trek fan or not .... and that is a first. Upto now, some Star Trek movies were decent, some were poor. But this film is head and shoulders above anything else the franchise has had to offer.

Patrik Steward as Captain Steward really comes into his own in this movie. You really feel for his characters obcession with defeating 'the Borg'. In this film you see something that is rarely seen .... Pickard losing his composure and showing a more human, obcessive and destructive side. The rest of the cast also turn in ... Read More:

This is the third film made by the Next Generation Enterprise crew and unfortunately, in my view, it is the worst of all of their films. Insurrection begins with Data going haywire while serving with a federation team observing a primitive culture on an isolated planet and when the crew of the Enterprise investigate they uncover secrets that make them question the actions of the Federation.

There is nothing essentially wrong with this film, it is well made and acted with some good CGI and an interesting, if somewhat dull, script with some good twists. The problem is that it just doesn't excite as much as some of the other films and coming after the truly great film First Contact only exasperates the problem. There are some attempts to inject some ... Read More:

After the great 'Star Trek Contact' they decide to make this peice of garbage. With the exception of 'The Final Frontier' this movie is the worst the Star Trek franchise has to offer.

There is very little positive feed-back I can give here. It is such a huge dissapointment. I cant believe I actually went to the cinema to watch this. I had heard that Patrik Steward was dissapointed with the story and its not hard to see why. All thats bad about Star Trek is visible in this film.

Sorry, but this movie destroyed a classic!
It's spy-kids in space!
This movie could have been the beginning of a very successful movie series like Star Wars or Star trek. Why aim it exclusively at 6 year olds?
The fact that you can now pick up the DVD for £1 in bargain bins anywhere says it all.
The actors were mis-cast, (except Ben Kingsley who was excellent as the hood) FAB 1 was a FORD!!!!, the Thunderbirds craft were ok, but had none of the original 'style' of the TV craft. I mean, TB2 is a world famous icon now. Why mess with it???
The SFX were APPALLING!!!
I've seen beter computer graphics on old Amstrad games!
And worst of all, the story was RUBBISH!
There wasn't actually any 'real' rescue in the movie that needed International ... Read More:

DVD : Diagnosis Murder: The Third Season (REGION 1) (NTSC)
This folks, is the wonderful diagnosis murder in it's third season. There have been some changes in the interim. Amanda is pregnant and married, season three announces the arrival of young intern Dr. Jesse Travis played by the wonderful Charlie Schlatter. The story lines get a little grittier too. begiining with 'an innocent murder' in which a young girl murders her tyrant father and preoceeds to try to outwit Mark when he starts to suspect her. Episodes like 'love is murder' in which Steve Sloan almost becomes the next victim of a cop killer with a grudge and 'Misdiagnosis murder' in which and exhausted Jesse tries t6o help a heart attack victim who subsequently dies, only for the body to disappear, what is going on? Amanda's son CJ also makes his debut in 3mm murder. Wonderful season, get ... Read More:

Very good! I thought that from the cover it looked a bit trashy. Yet, I found it quite enjoyable. Its about a special watch which can freeze time. This watch is precious and everyone wants it. There is many chases which are actually well choreographed. The bike stunts are very good and it also has some quite good humour in this film.
