91.Close Encounters Of The Third Kind [1978] starring: Richard Dreyfuss, François Truffaut, Teri Garr, Melinda Dillon, Bob Balaban

VHS : Close Encounters Of The Third Kind [1978]
Special effects should be convincing, even when this was made, but relying on an upside down turned car and mashed tatties and dodgy miniatures spoils the story. As if aliens are going to travel all this way after kidnapping pilots and sailors just to have a jam session on top of a mountain with a hippy scientist and his organ. Like Jean Michel Jarre and ET having a duet. Its silly. Aliens also are supposed to be green and not like the ones here. Aliens are hardly going to visit us if this is what we think of them. Unless they are the For Mash Get Smash aliens which is where the mashed potato could actually mean something.

VHS : Robot-Jox
The plot to this film is fairly limited. Acting isnt great and the female feature is by no means a supermodel. However its a great lads film as it consists mainly of 2 giant robots piloted by 'Jox' fighting each other to the death. Brilliant to watch with a group of lads but watch it with the missus and I dont imagine you'll be seeing any action for a while

VHS : Invasion Earth - Vol. 2 [1998]
I don't actually dislike 'Invasion: Earth', and that is basically because it imitates everything SF that the BBC has ever done (Quatermass, Doctor Who....etc). No, it's big downfall for me, was the contents of a 'Radio Times' review of the serial at the time of it's airing, which basically rubbished every single piece of SF work the BBC had ever done in the past. Why I don't know, as this is a fairly good routine, with some ok CGI moments - but nothing spectacular.
I notice that it is only available via Region 1, and has only thus so far attained a VHS release in the country of it's origin. Another let down is the ending which leaves a lot of loose ends dangling in the wind, but nonetheless still an ok little serial. One gets the feeling that a ... Read More:

VHS : Star Trek The Next Generation - The Best Of Both Worlds [1990]
This was such an important episode for Star Trek TNG and is a very significant episode for Picard. A alien race known as the Borg invade the federation intent on assmiliating the technology and people of the federation into their collective. Their extremely powerful ship, (a single cube) engages the federation fleet and the Enterprise providing plently of action.

What this episode captures very well and convinces, is the real dread that humanity is in serious danger as the Borg seem to be totally unstoppable and relentless. There are subplots interwoven in this episode with the introduction of the highly ambitious commander Shelby character who causes some tension between herself the "seasoned" commander Riker, a little bit of character development ...

VHS : P.R.O.B.E. - The Devil Of Winterborne [1995]
Despite its limited budget and rather clichéd special effects, Mark Gatiss' "Devil of Winterbourne" is written in such a way that the twists and turns of the story keep the viewers on the edge of their sets without the need for a sudden blast of Psycho-esque music or an almost unnecessary attention-grabbing movement of an object previously thought to be inanimate which is normal to specimens of this genre. The impossible-to-predict story line creates the sense of tension necessary to as sci-fi film, and it is so strong that it makes life easy for the actors. Although in some cases the acting is far from perfect, the fine portrayals of several both major and minor characters (namely Reece Shearsmith, Peter Davison and Gatiss himself) are detailed enough to ...
