Film Review – Underworld Evolution July 6, 2006
Posted by metalsam in Film/TV reviews.3 comments
The sequal to Underworld. A good fantasy / sci-fi (?).
The story is interesting, although could be more developed. Special effects are pretty damn good, and theirs lots of violence and gore 
Thought the acting was mediocre, but Kate Beckinsale walking around in tight leather more than made up for it.
Alas, it was not as good as Underworld, but then again sequals never are.
Altogether I thought it was a good film, well worth torrenting, especially if you liked Underworld.

I watched a long kiss goodnight last night, turns out ive seen it before!
I thought it was quite good, nice storyline – woman loses memory, slowly regains memory, turns out she was a …. and gets back into her old style of life.
Nice amount of action, and has Samuel Jackson in it, being mr cool as usual.
Has a good plot and a happy ending. Worth downloading in my opinion =)
Film Review – phone booth June 7, 2006

When I saw this film in the TV guide i was curious. So I, unfortuantely, decided to watch it.
The film consists of looking a tthe life of one man and all the things he has done wrong, and him saying sorry for them. Bit lame I thought. The beginning was quite funny, for 10 minutes, but until the ending the film drags on.
The ending is pretty awesome though, with a double twist!
This is the kind of film to be watched when your boroed out of your mind. Not worth renting / downloading eoecially.

Film review – Face off April 27, 2006
Posted by metalsam in Film/TV reviews.1 comment so far
Watched this last night – thought it was quite good.
Main actors were Nicolas Cage and John Travolta.
Film is based around a cop (john travolta) chasing a terrorist (nicolas cage). Terrorist plants a bomb, so the cop swaps faces with the terrorist (terrorist was in a coma) to talk to the terrorists friends and find the bomb. A few twists here nad there, John Travolta saves the day and gets his face back.
I thought it was quite good, some nice explosions, and the way the actors had to change personalities was cool.
Worth watching =)

I like this TV show. Its cheesy, funny, and has a simple storyline. And its British =p
The storyline is almost predictable, but the ending, youll never see it coming! Mickey always has some crazy scheme to pull the gang out of the hole they dig for themselves!
Briliant!

‘Whats this for?’
‘Emergency money’
‘What if its an $11 emergency?’
‘Talk them down to $10′
Everybody hates Chris is a new TV series that starts on 18th March in the UK. After seeing the adverts for it on 4, I decided to check out mininova, and bingo! Now I have the first 10 episodes =)
Ive watched the first 5, and I think its goood!
The story revolves around a black guy called chris, narrating his childhood. His family is poor and lives in Brooklyn, 1982. Every episode has great one liners, and some basic plot behind the episode. However, theres no continuing plot throughout the season as such, as for example lost does, so it dont matter if you miss an episode. Which is great for friday night TV, because your not alwaus going to be in on a friday night, at least you hope you wont =p
If you miss it on friday when it comes out, torrent it !

Pretty cool film. Dont worry if you havent seen the first two, I hadnt, and you quickly pick up the storyline.
Based on death handing out an ass whooping to some teenagers who escape an accident.
Lots of gore, violence and the occasional explosion.
And the mac advert, every final destination movie has a mac advert!

Is shite.
Rather than being some cool violent horror film, it was a lame horror film. Rather than being in your face, pinhead is a hallucination until the last 5 minutes.
Not what I was expecting / wanting.

GM Food February 9, 2006
Posted by metalsam in Film/TV reviews, Technology.1 comment so far
Genetically modified food. Something that we Europeans are wary off, and have good right to be. After all, this technology is relatively new. Scientists have modfied certain genes in plants to make them immune to certain diseases / pests. But it is well known that It takes many genes to modify a certain genetic trait, and changing that gene will also affect other charateristics of the plant. That is why I dont like GM food. We dont yet know what the other affects of the plant are. Im sure they are in actual fact fine, but I just dont like it.
Americans, however, seem to be fine with it. And theyre getting a bit twitchy about the EU screening GM food from its imports. So they took their ‘case’ to the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
This I just dont understand. People and governments are suspicious of GM crops and their effects on poeple and environment, so they only let a few in. (Currnetly 9 types of GM crop are cleared for Europe). America doesnt like this and wants us to buy more, so they take EU to court.
This just seems rather stupid to me. Especially as the Americans are doing exactly the same thing with their steel.
In the words of Mr T:
“I aint gettin no GM crops foo’!”

The first thing that struck me about this film was the title. Wasnt very hellraiserish at all.
Was a bit like the previous two films, but not as good. I dont like the way the films suddenly changed halfway through the series. Rather than being infront of you, old pin head is now in your mind. No where near as good.
Was a mediocre film, nothing brilliant. Ending wasnt that great either, which was the strongpoint of the previous couple of films.
