VHS : Doctor Who - Battlefield [1989]

Doctor Who - Battlefield [1989]


starring: Sylvester McCoy
directed by: Michael Kerrigan
March 02, 1998
Best Selling > VHS > Science Fiction and Fantasy

Series 24 of Dr Who is regarded with no small amount of loathing by a great number of fans. Though it did have its good episodes, Dr Who improved greatly from Series 25 onwards. But there were always holdovers from Sylvester McCoy's shaky first season which still haunted the series throughout his three years in the title role. Battlefield, I have to say, is one of them. It concerns alternative universes and the 'legends' surrounding King Arthur. Quite honestly it just feels like lazy writing. All kinds of Arthurian elements have been thrown in without rhyme or reason. It all looks nice, but where's the story? True, it has its moments, and it's nice to see the Brigadier back in action. It's just a pity it couldn't have been in a story ... Read More:

Doctor Who - The E-Space Trilogy (Warriors' Gate / Full Circle / State of Decay) [1963]


starring: William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison
November 03, 1997
Best Selling > VHS > Science Fiction and Fantasy

The espace trilogy boasts three of the best ever Doctor Who stories, all very different in style and writing and feel. And each brilliant and imaginative.

First, there's Full Circle, with atmosphere and brilliant misty moments. Matthew Waterhouse makes his debut as Adric, and actually he isnt that bad an actor at all in my opinion. Tom Baker is serious and brilliant in this story, and Lalla is good as Romana. The atmosphere of the marsh scenes are really effective and believeable. And the marsh child is cute! A good start!!!

then theres State of Decay. A vampire story without so much blood and guts as in the trillions of Dracula movies, theres really no need for it. Doctor who hardly ever had much blood, and its the better ... Read More:

Many new doctors first stories have been poor ( Twin Dilema and Time and the rani) but this one is good.Not only is this the first clolour episode(Wow!)but this is beggining of the era of Jon Pertwee my favourite actor to play the Doctor.
Here he sets of the Third Doctor with a boom.

All his stories are classics and this is no exception.The dummies are wondefully life like and the story ... Read More:

VHS : Brave New World

Brave New World


starring: Peter Gallagher, Leonard Nimoy, Tim Guinee, Rya Kihlstedt, Sally Kirkland
directed by: Larry Williams, Leslie Libman
February 28, 2000
Best Selling > VHS > Science Fiction and Fantasy

Leslie Libman and Larry Williams' movie "Brave New World", which was originally written by Aldous Huxley, is about a "savage" named John in a utopian society in which mankind seems to live without any problems or issues. John is thrown in to that lifestyle but starts questioning it, not feeling comfortable with the idea of designing humans, not being in love with one another or taking free drugs so no one starts questioning things.

The directors did not leave the story unedited. A good example is the very first chapter, in which important information are revealed to the READER. The VIEWER is not given those facts about cloning and designing humans in the Brave New World. Furthermore, in the end, John does not kill himself - he "accidentally" trips and fells off of a cliff. ... Read More:

VHS : The X Files : Season 7 Box Set [1994]

The X Files : Season 7 Box Set [1994]


starring: David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson
October 16, 2000
Best Selling > VHS > Science Fiction and Fantasy

***

This has been slated by some reviewers and each is entitled to their opinion. Mine is that this is a worthwhile addition to the X Files, no better than the best and no worse than the worst.

The series itself can't have every episode mind blowing even though the series is a true classic.

If you are an X files fan, then you need this if only because you are an X files fan.

VHS : Stalker [1979]

Stalker [1979]


starring: Aleksandr Kaidanovsky, Alisa Frejndlikh, Anatoli Solonitsyn, Nikolai Grinko, Natasha Abramova
directed by: Andrei Tarkovsky
January 24, 2000
Best Selling > VHS > Science Fiction and Fantasy

Watching Tarkovsky's Stalker was not an enjoyable experience, but it did make something about his achievement much clearer to me. In this film, and in most of his work that I have seen, Tarkovsky tells the viewer nothing: no plot, no characters, no resolution. He sets up an ambience through beautifully textured photography and lighting, stunning command of soundscapes, and a carefully undefined nexus of meaning. Then he allows the viewer to create a meaning. For some it is an overwhelming experience, for others a bore. This is not cinema as we normally know it but much closer to the effect of great poetry. It is sound and setting used as metaphor by means of which we can create what we can. Or not.

Forget the Strugatsky's Roadside Picnic (just as you had to forget Lem's Solaris when watching Tarkovsky's ... Read More:

VHS : Doctor Who - Shada [1979]

Doctor Who - Shada [1979]


starring: Tom Baker
directed by: Pennant Roberts

Best Selling > VHS > Science Fiction and Fantasy

For a generation of people, Tom Baker is the only 'real' Doctor Who. The box set, Shada, is a chance to see sections of a Doctor Who series that was sadly never finished due to industrial action at the BBC. Consequently this video contains unaired footage. The missing pieces are replaced by Tom Baker narration explaining the ongoing plotline. Unfortunately, this does little more than whet the appetite...the series would clearly have been brilliant.

Any Doctor Who fan who spent their childhood, like me, peeping from behind a cushion at Daleks and Cybermen would love this.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy fans should also note that the box contains the Douglas Adams original Shada script, a poignant inclusion since his death.

VHS : Signs [2002]

Signs [2002]


starring: Mel Gibson|Joaquin Phoenix|Rory Culkin
directed by: M. Night Shyamalan
March 31, 2003
Best Selling > VHS > Science Fiction and Fantasy

I personally find Signs to be Shyamalan's best film - I am in a position to judge, having watched every single blinkin one of them in film studies.

Signs focuses on how an alien invasion affects one family and one family alone. It also explores faith (and lack of it) in a way that can be interesting even to those who are completely and utterly unconvinced by religion.

Shyamalan's success in this film revolves around what you don't see, rather than what you do see. People fear the unknown more than they fear something which is standing in front of them, and that applies to the audience too.

I must say, after having watched it for the first time in about 5 years, it has fast become one of my favourite films and I am just about to order it on dvd.
