Title=Dark Water
Score=6
Summary=Good although if you’ve seen the original it’s just not as good. Great performance from Connelly and good support. Excellent location and sets, but the second half just does everything too big for this slower paced horror\thriller. Not a great remake, but a good movie on it’s own.
Title=Fantastic Four
Score=7
Summary=Good light, entertainment. This is a popcorn movie and not something meaty or thoughtful. Well paced, good fun and funny. Chiklis, Evans and McMahon are great to watch. Although it’s not a Batman or Spiderman, it’s not as bad as it’s made out.
Title=Batman Begins
Score=9
Summary=A fantastically written story and wonderfully brought to the big screen. Despite the very poorly filmed action sequences the movie shows an excellent return for the Batman and turning to the true Dark Knight for its inspiration. This does for the movie series what Batman: Year One has done to the graphic novels, told the definitive story of the birth of Batman and the characters around him.
Title=War Of The Worlds – Video Review
Score=7.5
Summary=John gives this video review of the classic H.G. Wells story brought to life by Steven Spielberg and Co.
Title=Bruce Campbell – If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor
Score=9
Summary=A good book, entertaining and a real eye opener for anyone thinking of entering the same profession , be it in front of the camera, or behind.
Title=The Aviary
Score=4
Summary=A difficult movie to associate with unless you understand the life of the Flight Attendant, but there are some interesting moments and it does get across the hard and lonely life they can face. Some weak acting and unsympathetic characters don’t help the movie any.
Title=Batman Begins
Score=8
Summary=In this film, Batman is truly a dark character. Vicious, angry, fear inducing. When Bruce puts on the cowl and cape his true self comes out. This is the Batman film that Batman fans have been waiting to see.
Title=Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Score=7
Summary=A good evenings entertainment, but it won’t stay with you for long. The shining star here is the amazing chemistry and timing between Jolie and Pitt, a stunning couple together on screen in every way.

Title=Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Score=8
Summary=This film is smart, funny and quite charming all at the same time. Throw in some great action sequences and you’ve got a winner.
Title=The League of Gentlemen’s Apocalypse
Score=3
Summary=Unfortunately, whilst double entendre knob gags work in a sketch show, stretching them out for the full hour and a half is a nightmare…Really disjointed feel to the film.
Title=Broken
Score=8
Summary=The camera work, editing, restrained writing and likewise performances bring it all across wonderfully. With a little more on some of the actors more action performances and effects you would never have realised it wasn’t a full budget Hollywood short.
