Dr Who & The Daleks CD review

The soundtrack CD to the two Doctor Who movies from the 1960s has pretty much made Cameron’s day… And remember, those bad boys were in colour! Collected on one CD (or download, digital fans!) for the first time are soundtrack selections fromDr. Ironic considering the date the film is set in. Not something youll come back to a lot but pretty fascinating nonetheless. I should add, however, one bizarre fact....

Torchwood: The Encyclopedia book review

and the always-interesting B587 (Cardiff road that led to Hedley Point). And this is where I had a slight problem with the book. Theres also a great deal of repetition, specifically when it comes to entries for songs. The other problem I have are the stories the makers saw fit to include. The novels (and comics too) are discarded. Anyway, these are trivial points. for a great number of fans....

Twelve Monkeys Blu-ray review

One of Terry Gilliam’s most successful films, 12 Monkeys, makes its Blu-ray debut. Based on the short filmLa Jetee,12 Monkeysis set in a bleak version of the future. Brad Pitt, however, steals the show with his (Oscar-nominated) performance as Jeffery. His body inhabits the character so well you are caught up in his ramblings and static jointed motions. As with all Gilliams movies, the scenery is unique but so fitting to the story....

Battlestar Galactica season 2 episode 14 review: Black Market

And inBlack Market, there are signs that hes going off the rails. The episode also offers the opportunity to bump off another of the crew of the Pegasus. As such, here, Colonel Fisk is murdered, and Adama tasks Apollo with finding out why. And here we discover one of those aforementioned side effects. Phelan is played by Bill Duke CommandoandPredator, anyone? and he isnt a nice character. The message here is simple: dont poke your nose in....

IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds Of Prey Xbox 360 review

Take to the skies in this World War II-based rival to Blazing Angels. Its not something that we get to indulge in all that much in console gaming. There are 20 main story missions and an additional 50 standalone ones. Oddly, it makes you appreciate the game world far more. The world of IL-2 Sturmovikis much more like the real world than your average game. In the fast casual mode, this dry environment doesnt quite make sense....

We dont even need a gun. The fish offers himself up voluntarily and says, Its a fair cop, guv. But there is no crack of thunder as Simon decides my fate. He doesnt stroke a white cat as his chair swivels round....

Top 10 X-Files episodes

Its great fun when Mulder and Sully are paired with a worthy, or at least slippery, adversary. Even if, like Robert Patrick Modell, he has a secret weapon in his corner. Irresistible(Season 2, Episode 13, 1995) Ah, Donnie Pfaster. Just when Scully thought she had gotten off the crazy train. This is especially poignant when viewing this anxiety inducing trio of episodes. Home(Season 4, Episode 2, 1996) Kids, gather round the TV!...

An animated treat seemingly out of nowhere, Simon checks out Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs… The opening title card alone deserves applause.

Jennifer’s Body review

Megan Fox in Jennifer’s Body failed to win over the box office last weekend. But did it win over Ron? Jennifers Bodyhas been taking a beating. Megan Fox is a dumber Angelina Jolie without the acting talent. Diablo Cody is a hack. Karyn Kusama is… who, exactly? Jennifer (Megan Fox) is the alpha female of her high school. Shes beautiful and a cheerleader, which makes her just about perfect. Shes gorgeous, and everyone knows it, especially Jennifers best friend/sidekick Needy (Amanda Seyfried)....

State Of Play Blu-ray review

Hollywoods thriller of the year, as State Of Play makes its Blu-ray debut… See? It can work sometimes. State Of Play, though, is a terrific movie. His cast serve him well. The Disc The near-19 minute making of eventually gets quite interesting. Theres also a pair of deleted scenes, running to around four minutes. Theyre both worth watching, too, and could easily have made the final cut. Which makes a refreshing change where deleted scenes are concerned....

Battlestar Galactica season 2 episodes 11 and 12 review: Resurrection Ship

Still, it buys Helo and Tyrol a temporary reprieve. Admiral Cain then turns her attention to Starbuck. Cain is clearly impressed too, because she promotes Starbuck to Captain. Its Roslin, however, who fears the long game here. Because already, theres little doubt that shed do the same to Adama, should the chance arise. Just who were supposed to be the Cylons, again? Those two are clearly bonding, and the other Number 6 aint happy....
