DVD Review - Lost In Space
The film starts off with an space dogfight so cheesy that even Top Gun would have been ashamed of it. Akiva Goldsman is responsible for the screenplay and the dialogue owes more to the terribleness of Batman & Robin than the genius of A Beautiful...
DVD Review - A Knight's Tale
A Knight's Tale is a surprising and very enjoyable medieval romp starring Heath Ledger (who bears an uncanny resemblance to Orlando Bloom at times), Paul Bettany (A Beautiful Mind, Master & Commander, Wimbledon), and Rufus Sewell. Ledger is a pea...
DVD Review - Tremors
There’s something afoot (or rather, underfoot) as Val McKee & Earl Basset (played by Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward) start to leave the sleepy town of Perfection, Nevada, looking for a better life and, specifically, better pay. When they realise how...
DVD Review - Dark Star
Dark Star was originally a short film created by John Carpenter and Dan O’Brammpm while they were both studying film-making in southern Caliornia. They had no budget whatsoever, a mere four actors (including O’Bannon), and had to be extremely cre...

DVD Review - The Negotiator
The Negotiator is one of the tensest films I’ve ever seen. The only real drawback with it is needing some muscle relaxants when you’ve finished…Two actors I’ve been impressed with in recent years are Samuel L Jackson and Kevin Spacey (Pay It ...
DVD Review - Chicago
Out of all the films I’d reviewed up to this point, Chicago was the hardest to review. It’s just so much a matter of personal taste, much more so than most other movies, and even I can’t quite work out just how much I like it! But… I will do ...
DVD Review - Galaxy Quest
Galaxy Quest is a spoof of Star Trek and other sci-fi series. It features the cast of a successful TV series (of the same name as the film), years after the initial success of the series –they are now reduced to attending conventions and opening st...
