Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are both back on board. So then, Fast & Furious: are you any good? The luckless Michelle Rodriguez gets killed, and Vin Diesel goes into full-on revenge mode. The action scenes are also a mixed bag. Like its predecessors,Fast & Furiousis, in so many ways, complete and utter rubbish. But, like its predecessors, its lightweight, disposable nature is what saves it. The ladies kissing ladies also help....
One of the very best films of the year arrives on Blu-ray. The interiors of the base have a very2001andSilent Runningfeel, mixed with a Ron Cobb-inspiredAlienpenchant for fine detail. In space no one can hear you scream, but youre rarely short of a moment alone with yourself. So its kyboshed on both fronts, really. Film: GetMoon on Blu-rayat the Den of Geek Amazon Store Rating: 4 out of 5
The Night At The Museum sequel proves an easy way to lose 90 minutes… Cast-wise,Night At The Museum 2isnt far off from perfect.
But you never really get a sense of how big this is. And Soderbergh takes Whitacres larger than life persona and applies it liberally to the rest of the film. Yet Soderberghs masterstroke in making the film an out-and-out comedy is also his undoing. Even Biff fromBack To The Futuregets in on the act. That its nothing more, however, is a bit of a disappointment. Rating: 3 out of 5
What are the gaming sequels that have disappointed us the most? Harry puts together his picks right here… 10. The sequel complicated things with third person sections and melee combat that felt ever so slightly forced. Not a tragedy, but whereUnreal Championship2 succeeds is in making you want to play the original. Ad content continues below 9. Knight Of The Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords 8. Metal Gear Solid 2...
Den Of Geek loves Paul Giamatti. But how does he fare in Cold Souls? We cant just be flesh and bone and nothing else, right? Just like the real worlds Giamatti, this character is a famous American actor of stage and screen. Giamatti is starring in a worthy stage play of ChekhovsUncle Vanya, but cant hook into the character. Obviously, the choice of Chekhovs tale of disappointment and underachievement is no random selection....
That may or may not be the case with Jason Manfords first DVD. But what you do get is a very funny gig, from a constantly improving and utterly engaging comedian. You suspect its a mixture of fine editing work and a strong core gig thats the reason for that. Theres even material showing, quite literally, the recording of the DVD show. He then interviews him. Its odd, but strangely engaging....
Shes swiftly whisked away to a government facility, which brings an abrupt end to the nuptials. Im not sure that anyone would have expected it to do the staggering numbersShrek 2achieved. I sawMonstersVs Aliensin 3D on its cinema release with my nieces earlier this year. One of them exclaimed, This is amazing! I wouldnt quite say that its amazing but I enjoyed watching it for the second time. I particularly enjoyed Kiefer Sutherland as General W....
On the eve of the DVDs launched, he spared us some time for a chat… I really enjoyed the DVD… Really? I though it wasshit…! I was pretty impressed by it! I saw that set two hours before I went on. We showed up about 4, and I thought wow. How much say did you have over it? Well, we sat down here and I said yeah, how about a tractor....
The back end of Supernatural’s fourth season arrives on DVD… Previously onSupernatural, Dean made a deal with devil-child Lilith and ended up in hell. Four seasons in, and the series is still riffing on familiar themes. Namely, family, duty and the bond between the chalk and cheese Winchester brothers. To their credit, the writers are still finding interesting ways to tell the brothers story. Its a story laced with fan-pleasing references....
It’s from Michael Bay. But how does Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen work in the home? Director Michael Bay likes his bangs big and he likes them regular. The plot revolves around the attempts of the Decepticon hordes to resurrect an ancient Transformer, the Fallen. Prime is killed, the pyramids in Egypt are blown up, Sam saves the day. Ad content continues below As in the first film, the use of CGI is exceptional....
In fact, the plot shares a striking similarity with that ofThe Simpsons Movie. Things quickly go from bad to worse, and the death rate escalates. Just as Big Jim has Chesters Mill in his vice-like grip, King will have you in his. At nearly 900 pagesUnder the Domeis a hefty tome, but he manages to keep it interesting. As frightening as events inevitably become, however, its never truly terrifying. Kings never been one for writing complicated, morally-grey characters....
Sam Raimi’s Drag Me To Hell has been one of the movie treats of the year. The plot is quite simple and barely needs repeating. Its a very silly film, but thats beside the point. Its not as gory as theEvil Deadmovies, but with a 15-certificate that would have been impossible. A word out has to go to Alison Lohman, who plays the incredibly unfortunate cursed Christine. Could he ever play anything different?...
