Well hard to fault - John Barrowman in his best performances, all in one box - awesome.

It is the year 2057. The sun is about to peter-out in about 50years. A mission was sent seven years ago to reignite the sun; the ship disappeared. Now a new mission and last chance. We are now introduced to the standard crew mix over the obligatory eating scene. The mission is reviled. We learn of each person's personality and quirks. And it takes a long slow time. (For people with Blu-ray you can fast-forward with sound on, it does not sound Mickey Mouse.) Soon we find the fate of the previous ship. We also suffer from an accident caused by miscalculation. Will these mishaps jeopardize the mission and the human fate? The film is a tad slow probably by design and there are lots of flashy visuals. Many look like they ... Read More:

123.Star Wars Episode VI:Return Of The Jedi (Limited Edition, Includes Theatrical Version) [1983] starring: Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, David Prowse, Kenny Baker directed by: Richard Marquand September 11, 2006

Return of the Jedi was my favourite film as a kid growing up when there was only the original trilogy and with the Star Wars saga now complete it still remains my favourite. The first part of the movie is in my opinion some of the past Star Wars adventure out of all six films covering the famous rescue of Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt with still impressive action sequences such as the rancor and sail barge battles. The second half really delivers a satisfying conclusion to the story on all front with the classic intercutting of three distinct battles all being crucial to the resolution of the story. Stunning effects still in this day and age and a really emotional stoyline make for in my opinion the best conclusion the Star Wars saga could have hoped ... Read More:

For me, the movie itself is a nineties' classic: action, adventure and humour blended together seamlessly to provide a thoroughly enjoyable (if untaxing) two hour break from reality. Unfortunately, this DVD release is WOEFUL. I could forgive the complete lack of extras (not even a trailer or production notes) but the picture looks like a poor transfer from VHS: it may be anamorphic, but it suffers from clear macro-blocking, colour shifts, artifacing and wholly excessive grain from the opening Warner Bros logo to the end credits. The entire disc takes up less than 3.5gb: given the complete lack of additional material, I find it perplexing that Warner Bros didn't at least use up the remaining free space to give the video a much-needed boost in bitrate. ...

125.Aliens Vs Predator - Requiem - 2 Disc Ultimate Combat Edition [2007] starring: Steven Pasquale, Reiko Aylesworth, John Ortiz, Ariel Gade, Johnny Lewis directed by: Brothers Strause, Colin Strause, Greg Strause May 12, 2008

Ok, I have to admit once I'd heard they were making a sequel and it was going to be more hardcore sci-fi horrorfest than previous attempt by the 'Anderson', I became very excited to relive the good old days of 'Aliens' and the very underrated 'Predator2'. And yes, the story is a little on the poo side but is adequate fare considering the other franchise films. The action is cool and the film as a whole seems a good step up from the drivel in AvP. Here's hoping the next film raises the bar on all fronts as this one does feel like a filler for the time being. Oh yes, the teenagers in it are very annoying but who cares when they get ripped to pieces....

126.The Matrix [1999] starring: Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, Gloria Foster directed by: Andy Wachowski, Larry Wachowski November 29, 1999

I had always enjoyed watching this movie for all the reasons stated in other reviews, but last night I sat through an hour and fifty odd minutes of the director's cut of "Dark City" - released in 1998 and totally ignored by the majority of critics and film goers. In fact, The Director's Cut copy I had was given to me by a friend and, as far as I know, is not available in this country. The plot of this film is about a populace trapped in a perpetually dark city, which is closed down and re-tuned by the controllers. Memories are altered, people put into other slots in the society, and the entire landscape altered as part of the experiment. Essentially it's The Matrix, but without all the silly Kung Fu, shouting and shooting and the pseudo religious clap trap that proliferates ... Read More:

And then, one Monday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, I watched Hitch Hikers on BBC 2 and changed my outlook on life, the universe and everything forever. The script for the TV show of Hitch Hikers was virtually the script of the original radio show with some additional visual cues which, if you can improve on perfection, improved on perfection. Also perfect was the casting with Peter Jones as the Book, Simon Jones (no relation) as Arthur Dent, Stephen Moore as Marvin the Paranoid Android and Mark Wing-Davey as Zaphod Beeblebrox being retained from the radio show for the parts they had clearly made their own and David Dixon whose performance of Ford Prefect is so astoundingly ...

This film is incredibly well made. The TV news reports in the early stage of the film build an atmosphere of inevitability, to the point where you're expecting the two-minute warning to happen at any time. The participants of the "underground administration" leaving their families adds to the foreboding. The imagery of the attack is quite shocking; in itself it demonstrates the horrors of nuclear war's collateral damage in a brutal and authentic manner. I don't think the point of the film ends there. Right at the beginning, the narrative outlines the complex relationships between people, products and services in the context of industrial society. "A web of dependencies, connected by fragile threads". Having read material about the collapse of complex societies, this struck ... Read More:

Season 3 picks up the pace on Deep Space 9 and it's overall plot with the Dominion. (Andrew J. Robinson was the genius who brought the dominion into DS9 (Elim Garak)) The team discover the Shapeshifters on a rogue planet are the people who are the dominion. we get to see how the 2 ferengi on a planet of klingons works out, and a proper laugh (highly rated in my books as the most entertaining episode of them all). later on we see more of the Marquis, O'brien and Bahshir becoming better friends and the ever entertaining Quark and Odo friendship (70% of why i bought ds9 in the first place). Recommended to anyone who wants to know how the federation responds to the Dominion threat.

OK the FX of Tron are nothing to todays. But this film shows the level of CGI in 1982 the extra features illustrate how the FX are achieved and what a struggle this film was. Also the extra features tell the story of Tron from its earliest incarnations to the finished film. The film itself is not only a great story but it shows the level of computing at the time. Tron is in fact an Antivirus in a world before antivirus programs were even thought of.
