Torchwood returned in January 2008 and having waited a year, it rocked.
With the brillent new characters of the show I thought that this was better then last season and the adventure was a bang. In episode 1 was Jack's old bofriend Captain John Hart. But he was a cool villan. Then Martha Jones came to the hub. That was brillent. With Gwen's wedding and Fragments, the season finally ruled. Exit Wounds was sad, violent and powerful and seeing them in Doctor Who should made it 10 stars.
Well Done Russell T Davies
Can't wait for Series 3: Children of time

blade runner:the final cut ? are we sure now sir ridley? i have enjoyed various re-releases from laser disc,video,dvd & now blue ray. each version is great ,there are some copies with harrison ford's narration.
disc 1 is amazingly restored with new cgi effects & ridley scott's favourite ending scenes, fantastic city sets with flying cars & chases
entwined with a film noir atmosphere.breathtaking! if you just don't get it then so what? you can't slate it,it's a blueprint for another 1000 sci-fi movies.
disc 2 is fascinating, it's crammed with interviews from cast,directors &
crew. what is unbelievable though is when the movie was released amongst films like e.t people didn't get it. it was almost a disaster.but ... Read More:

With a central performance by Alistair Sim that is nothing short of brilliant this movie deserved to be restored to its original condition for DVD but wasn't. I have not seen any prior reviews that commented on the crappy quality of this print but crappy it is, sadly.
Cut to fit the TV screen, it is a poor quality print. No subtitles. No closing credits. A lack of sharpness and definition to the picture and sound. The "extras" are not worth bothering with. Disappointing is what it is.
Kathleen Harrison is superb as is the supporting cast of British film luminaries. They and Alistair deserved better. Cheap and looks it.
This is a really good special of Battlestar Galactica, but don't buy it if you get the series box sets, as its included in the Series 4 box set as disk 1. Bit annoying as I own both now

After the disappointment of Eps2 and 3, the Clone Wars goes a long way towards rekindling the excitement I've always associated with Star Wars. It returns to the non-stop action rollercoaster feel of the Luke Skywalker days, where the heroes gallop across the galaxy from one hot spot to the next, light-sabres blazing and blasters, err, blasting.
The style of animation takes some getting used to: it's nothing like a realistic or slick as Pixar, so you won't be seeing images like those in the feature-length Beowulf or Final Fantasy films. Instead it merges the Star Ward universe with some mange/anime styles to create a different, 2D experience. Where this works especially well is with the giant space cruisers (every bit as onimous as the models in Ep1, ... Read More:

Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory is the best children's film I have ever seen, better even than the book. All Roald Dahl fans out there BUY IT NOW

There's not much more to my review than the one word title I just gave it. Occasionally touching music from Aerosmith (for Steve's little girl) but the last 20 minutes are dreadful and are so quick-cut that it's like watching an MTV music video that just goes on and on and on. The kids puppet show Space Patrol Space Patrol : The Complete Series (6 Disc Set)handled the very same script much better in the 1960s and - unlike Bruce Willis - Captain Larry Dart of the Galasphere 347 manages to place the explosives and get off the damn rock before it explodes! So much for comparisons of Bruce and a small 60's wooden puppet, though...

after the dissapointing ark of truth, and finishing off the ori storyline left over from the end of the stargate sg1 tv series, stargate goes back to basics, with a fun action adventure. the cast are as good as ever, it's action packed, and it's good to see richard dean anderson again, though sadly this is the late don s davis' last performance as general hammond, a great charactor, and a terrific actor too, don s davis will be missed by sg1 fans and it's a fitting tribute, though it is set in an alternate timeline, so it's not the general hammond we all know and love. baal was always good fun in the show, and it's good to see him up to his old tricks. if there are to be any more movies, let's hope they're as enjoyable as this. great fun!

Boosh is definitely one of those polarising comedy shows - the sort of thing your parents would briefly ponder with confused bewilderment, before declaring it "queer" and switching over to watch "Only Fools & Horses" series 159 on UKGoldSilverBronze+3 (oh Delboy! You're such a cheeky rogue, with your falling-through-an-open-bar antics!). On the other hand, because of the near-ridiculous level of devotion layered onto it by the horde of fanatical adherents, there is a danger that it could be over-hyped beyond any level of expectation that it could ever hope to fulfil. The best approach is to try to view the series with an open mind and forget anything you may have heard about it already.
