    Review Lost in Space (2018)

    That's because they had to fit an extra 5 or 6 minutes of ads in. You look at any show from the 1960's and an hour show works out to be around 48-50 minutes. Newer shows have to fit a one hour show into around 42 minutes.

    Review BLAKE'S 7: MISSION TO DESTINY - Episode 07

    I love me a good murder mystery, especially an Agatha Christie style murder mystery. This was pretty well done, although I think Avon was pretty slow in catching on the the reason for sabotaging the ship. It seemed pretty obvious to me as soon as they revealed the macguffin that someone had...

    Review Lost in Space (2018)

    The opening credits for Enterprise were great. Didn't really feel like Star Trek but on their own they were fantastic. The show on the other hand ... Haven't really paid much attention to the Lost in Space credits yet but I did appreciate the appearance of the original theme in the first...

    Review Venom (2018)

    Never been a big fan of Venom but this looks pretty good. Definitely a massive improvement on what they did with the character in Spiderman 3

    Review The Poseidon Adventure (1972)

    This was a far better remake

    Review Lost in Space (2018)

    Watched the first 2 episodes - its not bad - will definitely be watching more. And I quite enjoyed the movie although it was flawed.

    Review Lost in Space (2018)

    Just seen the first couple of episodes. Its intriguing so far although not at all like Lost in Space. But as a standalone sci-fi series about a colonist family shipwrecked it's got potential.

    Review STAR COPS: LITTLE GREEN MEN AND OTHER MARTIANS - Episode 09

    I imagine different people have different rating systems so some shows could be more generously rated than others. And some may rate quite harshly.

    Review The Daemons (1971)

    That movie would have made so much money. And a significant amount of it would have come from me.

    Review Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    Just booked my tickets to see this on Sunday. Earliest I can go. I'm pretty excited.

    Review STAR COPS: LITTLE GREEN MEN AND OTHER MARTIANS - Episode 09

    I thought the character had a lot of potential, but he was very inconsistently written even within individual episodes. There were signs of growth, only to have him revert a few scenes later.

    Review STAR COPS: LITTLE GREEN MEN AND OTHER MARTIANS - Episode 09

    This one was a bit of a mixed bag. Interesting concept with the expansion of the star cops to Mars and the idea of a smuggling ring. But there was a lot going on and it was hard to keep up with all the different things going on. I liked that too - I wasn't keen on her character at first but...

    Review STAR COPS: OTHER PEOPLE'S SECRETS - Episode 08

    I really enjoyed this one. The "mystery" of the week was basically insignificant. Just enough to ensure the characters were trapped and given time to reveal more about them. Its good to see the characters continue to develop, although I agree with @Brimfin that Anna was shortchanged in this...

    Review STAR COPS: A DOUBLE LIFE - Episode 07

    I have to say, I think this is my favourite episode yet. Great interaction from the main cast. An interesting (if stretching the realistic plausibility of the show) crime. And the plot moved relatively quickly. I wasn't too keen on the addition of Anna Shoun to the team in the last episode, but...

    Review STAR COPS: IN WARM BLOOD - Episode 06

    I'm with you on this. It's an interesting concept of a show but I can see why it never made it past the first season. Those that are interested in the sci-fi elements would have been put off by the slow pace and those that like the British police drama style probably weren't interested in the...

    Review Cinema-Going

    I tend to avoid 3D releases. It's very rare that the 3D process adds anything to the movie (Avatar being one of the few exceptions) and its hard to justify the higher ticket prices. Especially since so few movies are actually filmed in 3D - most being post-production conversions. If a movie is...

    Fun Cricket

    I don't know. Our reputation as a nation of sledgers isn't exactly the reputation we like to believe we have. Also given the hysteria about this incident (although I agree with the sanctions imposed) I'd like to know where all the outrage is around our footballers who beat their girlfriends or...

    Controversial Did Jesus Actually Exist?

    It's certainly possible to believe in a historical Jesus that's different to the religious Jesus. In fact throughout most of the 20th century scholars tried a variety of approaches to try to identify some historical facts about Jesus from the writings about him. These days most scholars...

    News Indiana Jones 5 : IN DEVELOPMENT

    Because a female can't have Jones as a surname? Grace & Catherine Zeta- (amoung many others) might have something to say about that. And I'm pretty sure Indiana isn't a gender specific name. Henry Jnr might be an issue though.

    Controversial Did Jesus Actually Exist?

    I honestly don't have an agenda. As I said, I believe that Jesus existed. But from a scholarly perspective (I work in the library at a Christian theological college) it's not enough to show that Tacitus had access to contemporary documents. To be scholarly rigourous you'd need to demonstrate...
