The Descent Part 2 DVD review

However, Sarah cant remember a thing about the last few days. Ill start with the good points aboutThe Descent Part2. For a moderately low-budgeted horror film, it looks good. Check out his work on the recentKick-Ass). Its a quality B-movie horror, and one which would sit well in any collection of that ilk. I shall not ruin them for you here, though. And that fact is why the film falls down....

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction Xbox 360 review

The game is a very different animal from theAssassins Creed-esque prototype originally planned. Continuing the arcingSplinter Cellstory,Convictiontakes place a while after the events seen inDouble Agent. This isSplinter Cell, yes, but not quite how you remember it. This time theres a much more organic feel. This tactical positioning is enforced by another cool feature: Last Known Position. Most notable is the lack of the games iconic goggles. If youre the throw in who avoids black-and-white movies like the plague, this may not impress....

Doctor Who: The Top 10 Dalek stories

For a start, what actually qualifies as a Dalek story? Its got a Dalek in it. They also make a passing appearance inThe War Games. IsFrontier In Spacestrictly a Dalek story, or were they just guest stars? To a casual fan,Doctor Whoand the Daleks are inexorably linked. Some people even assume they appear in every episode. If they were reading newspapers during the 2005-2008 period, its hardly surprising. But, in reality, there have only been 22 complete Dalek tales....

The Ghost review

Roman Polanski directs Pierce Brosnan and Ewan McGregor in The Ghost. But is the film of Robert Harris' novel worth your time? Or, maybe not. In another directors hands, Harris novel could have been a straight political, all work and no play. Polanski certainly doesnt shy away from that. Polanski has faith in a good story, which he has here, and he tells it well. And its in the details thatThe Ghostworks best....

The Market review

Mihram is a hapless, unlucky sort. Later, he loses money at cards, sells cigarettes at football games, and drinks his worries away. Ad content continues below This is, of course, misplaced confidence. Were watchingThe Market: A Tale Of Trade, not The Hustler: A Tale Of Triumph.

Top 10 inappropriate love affairs in film and TV

Its not a romance though that really ever feels anywhere near fleshed out. Still, Shakespeare used old stories from myth and folk lore to structure his poetry around. Cameron used a cliched story to structure his visuals around. If its alright for Shakespeare, then, Id say, its fine for the rest of us. Rachael is firmly established as a full blown certified replicant, possessing the memories of Doctor Tyrells niece....

Cemetery Junction review

Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant combine their talents on the big screen for the first time. Here’s what we thought of Cemetery Junction… Vistas of double decker buses and vine-chewed pubs share space with graceful tableaux of hard graft factory work. Despite this inflated list of characters,Cemetery Junctionkeeps its focus. In that sense, the films romantic approach is far too straight shooting. Maybe it is the period setting. Instead, it is safe and splendid, pleasant and well made....

Rogue Trooper: Tales Of Nu-Earth Volume 1 graphic novel review

Judge Dredd is the most famous. Mutant Johnny Alpha, the Strontium Dog comes a close second for me. In my opinion, the third most memorable character was the blue-skinned genetically-engineered infantryman known as Rogue Trooper. One of my proudest possessions is a piece of originalRogue Trooperartwork by Chris Weston, given to me personally. Chris had been toying with the idea of having my band The Adventures Of Parsley at his wedding....

The Stendhal Syndrome DVD review

Its only a movie. Italian director Dario Argento is no stranger to the macabre. 1996sThe Stendhal Syndrome, however, is a different, much darker beast. She manages to escape, but the traumatic experience changes her irreparably. Ad content continues below At that point you should strap yourself in for a long and bumpy ride. Like any long and arduous journey, youll wonder if the destinations really worth the hassle. Its not the graphic depiction of rape thats so distressing....

Who Dares Wins Blu-ray review

but cant really remember much about it. Thus, I wasnt quite sure what to expect when I popped the Blu-ray in my player. Duttines character is not convinced by Skellens story and gets him checked out. Lets look at the evidence to prove only we (Britain) could make it. The man with the gong. Good old, Rank! The immortal Patrick Allen taking time off from flying around in his Barrett Homes helicopter....

Rough Justice: The DC Comics Sketches Of Alex Ross book review

No wonder his talents have earned him his multi-award winning reputation as one of the industrys leading craftsmen. Panel layouts morph and change in those preliminary concepts, shaping each hero in increasingly dynamic sinew-stretching poses. Theres a collection of covers and splash pages, alongside character studies portrayed from all dynamic angles. Superman and Batman figure prominently, but so do Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and the Flash. Facial expressions are shown in fine pencil lines and they gain more depth of feeling from the half-tone shading....
