Just been watching this movie on TV. It’s a supernatural thriller starring Johnny Depp and Emmanuelle Seigner. Frank Langella and Lena Olin are quite good as the bad guys. The movie, overall, is quite interesting and watchable, but what the hell was that ending all about? Beats me. Must watch it again sometime, to see [...]
A while back I talked about the Sci-Fi Channel’s excellent Dune mini-series, and said how much I enjoyed it. Well, tonight, we watched the first part of the three-part DVD release of the sequel mini-series, The Children of Dune.
The verdict? So far so good. This first part moves a few years ahead to a point [...]
I’ve been watching a few new sci-fi shows recently, specifically the pilots of the Bionic Woman and Flash Gordon remakes, and the pilot of the Sarah Connor Chronicles, a spin-off from the Terminator movies. And my opinions?
I have to say that all three were… okay… not bad to watch, but nothing special either. I was [...]
I’ve had an interesting and fruitful day at the shops. Picked up a load of DVDs, a book, and a new set of plug-in earphones.
The book is the new hardback release of the final Harry Potter novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which a local major bookstore was selling at a 50% discount. The [...]
Just having a quiet night in with a bunch of mates (Tuesdays and Sundays are visiting nights). For a change, we’ve been watching a few DVDs that we haven’t looked at in a while (rather than new stuff). Started off with the first part of the Dune mini-series that was produced by the Sci-Fi Channel, [...]
The first two episodes of Heroes, Genesis and Don’t Look Back, aired earlier tonight (Wednesday 25th) on BBC2, followed by a short ten minute behind the scenes thingy, Heroes Unmasked. I must say that I’m absolutely delighted. I’ve been following its progress since it started on satellite TV, and it’s nice to see this series [...]
Now Watching - Renaissance (DVD)
I’ve been spending a nice, restful night at home, watching a very unusual movie on DVD, and I must say that the last (slightly more than) hour and a half has absolutely flown by. It’s a cop movie, with action, car chases, kidnapping and murder. More than enough action to keep [...]
Went to see Spider-Man 3 just over a week ago, and really enjoyed it. It’s great fun, exciting, fast-paced, and parts of it are very funny, a worthy sequel indeed to the first two films. The plot is decent, and there’s so much happening (maybe too much at times) that I never lost interest, as [...]
