Im glad I did,Fashion Dashis a great little game. As with all of theDashtitles, you have a mission. Of course, each customer wants something different so you have to plan accordingly. The gameplay is as youd expect. Youre presented with a series of customers that need serving. You drag them from the waiting area onto a chair with a changing room. The trick is to chain all your manoeuvres to maximise your score....
Youll find closetStar Trekfans everywhere you look, and everyone has their favourite captain. For many, though, theres only one captain of the Enterprise James T. Kirk. The new effects are subtle, if noticeable, but never out of place. Phaser effects that once varied from episode-to-episode have been made more consistent. Alongside the new special effects, other areas of the show have also been improved. The show feels and largely looks exactly as it always has....
Its a remarkably confident debut behind the camera, and stands up as an excellent if slightly dated thriller. What does the 0 stand for? Oh my God, its early!) When Kirby takes the air in Cronauers place, its a festival of cringe-inducing comedy gold. Shes great too, for the time were allowed to see her at work in the radio studio. Well worth seeking out. But when Parton hits the airwaves, the film manages to gel....
Frost, meanwhile, comes across for good chunks as a borderline bumbling incompetent. Director Ron Howard isnt a marvellous help, either. Ad content continues below Whats in much less doubt is the quality of the two leads, though. In particular, Frank Langella is quite brilliant, and Sheen is an excellent foil for him. Grumbles aside,Frost/Nixonis still a compelling film, and when it finally catches fire, its quite outstanding. It just takes quite a long time to do so....
Our second look at the Night At The Museum sequel. Steven reckons it’s tosh, but decent tosh… Thanks to a faster pace an assorted group of extended cameos,NATM2manages to improve slightly on its original. And there is a fair amount of fun to be had. Others have been given extended screen time since the first venture (Owen Wilson). This time round they have managed to make room for a few new historical characters along the way....
The big question is has GRIN succeeded in bringing the old-timer into the 21st century? The story isnt particularly earth shattering. Its just a shame GRIN didnt manage to make it as instantly accessible as Treyarch managed withSpider-Man. The arm can be used to grapple almost any surface in the game, all except irradiated areas. Who said a nuclear apocalypse has to be all dingy greys? In moments like this, the game comes into its own....
That didnt work out so well forBattlestar Galactica couldLostcarry it off better? But lets not get ahead of ourselves. Theres still this weeks double-sized finale to cover. We know who Jacob is now, but who is his rival? What were they doing with the crew of the Black Rock? And what does that mean for our own island-dwelling cast? If that reveal was immediately obvious then the series next Whats in the box?...
As far as horror movies go,Tormentedmakes for some pretty uncomfortable viewing. As the film starts we are in a chaotic present in which something horrible has taken place. The first death goes unreported, and it is the only clue that something is not quite right. Tormented is released in the UK on the 22nd of May. Rating: 3 out of 5
A fresh take on the ‘returning home’ theme threading many independent movies… Luckily, it doesnt. He is lothe to admit that it hasnt quite worked out, and it never might. Even the rolling French countryside is presented without bordering into landscape pornography. This touches a nerve and is certainly the reality in rural communities in todays Mediterranean countries. Rating: 4 out of 5
An exhibition of how cartoonists saw Margaret Thatcher over the years has opened in London. Paul went and checked it out… Margaret Thatcher! A name that sends shivers down the spines of a generation, and admiration from a far few others. It may seem even sacriligeous to mention her names amongst the realms ofStar TrekorDoctor Who,WolverineorTransformers. Arguably the Iron Lady was the Terminator of her day but that does not justify her position here....
Is this the comedy highlight for South Park? Needless to say, they soon catch a leprechaun. Ad content continues below Thats not to say theres anything bad aboutImaginationland, because there really isnt. A word should go to the quality of the animation, too. Overall, this is a brilliant package forSouth Parkfans, not to be missed. Feature: Rating: 5 out of 5
Continuing our interview withDoctor WhoandPrimevalaudio/novel/comic writer Simon Guerrier. Youll find the link to part one, if you missed it, down at the bottom… Which Doctors do you prefer writing for, either for audio or in novels/short stories? Any favourite companions to bring to life? I like them all, really. And as I said [in the previous piece], I dont often get a choice. Theyd been brilliant, so it was exciting to write something else for them....
Off the record, on the QT, and very hush hush - L.A. Confidential moves into high definition… If only it wasnt up againstTitanic, no doubt, it would have won more. Curtis Hansons neo-noir is set in 1950s LA. Three detectives with varying approaches to their profession are investigating a multiple murder at The Night Owl Diner. Vincennes, often staged, arrests of celebrities means hes frequently in the magazine and in the public eye....
