Angel: Season 5
February 21, 2005
The cruel irony of the fifth season of Angel is that not only was it the best season, it was also the last. After Buffy the Vampire Slayer went off the air, several of its writers started working on episodes for Angel. The difference was apparent right...
Raquel Welch Collection
December 16, 2004
Raquel Welch had a modest feature film debut with a bit part in A House is Not A Home in 1964 but quickly shot to fame with the one-two punch of Fantastic Voyage and One Million Years B.C. in 1966. Her drop-dead gorgeous looks transformed her from a beauty...
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Extended Edition
July 4, 2004
As with The Fellowship of the Ring before it, this extended cut of The Two Towers brings us some welcome new scenes to the most epic story ever told. This isn’t so much a director’s cut as it is a simple re-intergration of segments that were...
Jackass: The Movie
December 7, 2003
The Jackass Boys are back! If you’re a fan of the MTV show, then you’ll know what this movie is all about; in fact you almost don’t need to read this review. Wait! I said almost! The stunts in this movie are weirder, wilder and more extreme than...
Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets
December 4, 2003
The best sequels have a way of improving on the original, and Chamber of Secrets succeeds in nearly every respect. It’s darker, funnier, more action-packed and the three leads are actually starting to act (witness Harry’s face/off at the end)....
X-Men 1.5
November 29, 2003
If Batman and Robin (1997) didn’t nearly kill off the comic book super hero film, it did a great job of reducing the genre, in the public’s eye, to the stuff of silly camp. After such an embarrassingly awful effort, the only way to go was self-parody...
Tron
November 28, 2003
When Tron came out in 1982, it was intended to be a visually stunning parable against the powers of computers and technology. More than twenty years later, the movie plays more like a nostalgic ode to the early 1980s, than a simple good vs. evil morality...
The Devil Rides Out
November 21, 2003
Released in 1968, The Devil Rides Out (aka The Devil’s Bride — the US title) is a classic Hammer horror film. It contains many of the elements that made this British studio famous: Christopher Lee’s top notch acting, Terence Fisher’s...
Daredevil
November 12, 2003
The superhero genre is one that is ideally suited for the transition to the big screen, full of larger than life colourful characters with classic good versus evil struggles. Recently there has been a renaissance in these films & the latest hero to...
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
October 15, 2003
For those who haven’t read the books, watching the middle film of a trilogy might seem like a frustrating, even unsatisfying experience. Not only does The Two Towers leave you on another year-long cliffhangar, but it also demands that you’ve...
