Lost - The Complete Fourth Season [2008]

starring: Evangeline Lilly, Dominic Monaghan, Matthew Fox

October 20, 2008
I thought Season One and Two were fantastic, and the mystery and lacks of answers was enthralling. However, I felt that Season Three started to go astray, and it just seemed to keep creating crazy questions just to keep us on the edge of our seats. If you felt that about Season Three, then you will continue to be frustrated with this season. Instead of flash-backs, we now have flash-fowards, which seem great, but through the progression of the season, the situation on the island becomes more and more ludicrous. The climax of the season is just completely awful, and proof that all the greatness is Lost (pun intended).

Lost - The Complete Third Season [2007] [2006]

starring: Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, Dominic Monaghan

The first time I watched season 3 I was a bit dissapointed. But, after watching it for the second time, starting from episode 1 season 1, and seeing every episode back to back, I enjoyed it a lot more.

Without giving anything away, I don't feel it was as absorbing to watch as seasons 1 & 2, but it is still very enjoyable.

Roll on season 4, I can't wait :)

Speed Racer [2008]

starring: Emile Hirsch, Susan Sarandon, Matthew Fox, Christina Ricci, John Goodman
directed by: Andy Wachowski, Larry Wachowski

The film follows Speed Racer, a young racing whizz kid, like Lewis Hamilton, who is racing in memory of his older brother Rex Racer, who died in a dangerous road race. Royalton industries offers to buy Speed for his racing team but he refuses and joins forces with the mysterious Racer X to bring down the corrupt Royalton.

The film itslef is very visual with lots of bright colours which put off a lot of reviews. However, this film is trying to be a live action anime, and it succeds and for that I can't fault it. As for the plot, its quite engaging with some very good turns from Matthew Fox as the mysterious Racer X and Emile Hirsch as Speed.

I only gave this 3/5 stars because there wasn't enough of Racer X and his mystery wasn't ... Read More:

LOST - The Complete First Season [2005]

by: Emilie De Ravin
starring: Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, Dominic Monaghan, Naveen Andrews, Josh Holloway

Bad acting, dull nonsense of a script, poorly paced and directed.
Anyone giving this pathetic excuse for a tv programme 5 stars must have a 1 star life.
Stop sitting indoors watching hour upon hour of this patronising rubbish and find some friends instead.
Preferably ones who don't like this bunk.

After the end of Season 1, I found the first two episodes of Season 2 to be a bit boring, but by the third episode it kicks off really well. If you havent seen it you are in for a treat, without giving anything away, I thought that the best episodes were "the other 48 days" and "Dave". Can't wait to see what season 3 will be like :)

Vantage Point [2008]

starring: Dennis Quaid, William Hurt, Sigourney Weaver, Forest Whitaker, Zoe Saldana
directed by: Pete Travis

One of the stars of Vantage Point-Dennis Quaid - has described the film as a "Kind of Rashomon [1950] [Special Edition]" alluding to the films method of showing the same 23 minute loop of time from several different perspectives. Whoah there Dennis , don't get carried away . Structurally , though he kind of has a point though in terms of quality these two films while not chalk and cheese are definitely wildly varying qualities of cheddar.
Vantage Point takes place at an anti -terrorism summit in Salamanca ,Spain( though most of the film was actually shot in Mexico) where the American President Ashton ( William Hurt) is making a speech. He is shot , a bomb goes off , general chaos ensues as you would expect. We, the audience, then to see events from the differing empirical ... Read More:

Speed Racer [Blu-ray] [2008]

I`ve just bought my first blu-ray player and thougt this movie would be a good test of quality of the media. Thankfully I was`nt disappointed, the picture is astonishing throughout with nearly every scene awash with amazing colour and vibrancy. It really does need to be seen to be believed. As I don`t have a surround sound system for my player yet I can`t comment on the sound.
As for the film itself, its a very enyoyable film for all the family with a decent plot and acting from some big names and at 2hrs15mins never feels overlong, mostly down to the visuals I think though.
Well worth added to your collection especially in the 3 for 2 Amazon have on at the moment.

Got this DVD frre with a Samsung BDP1500 bluray player so I didn't think it would be very good. How wrong, could I be. Kept me and my family enthralled with its twisting and turning plot. Great action sequences that will keep you on the end of your seat. Absolutely stunning in bluray.

Maybe, you still get the same decent show. Which is an improvement on series 3 as it has more momentum. Having ditched the flashbacks to be replaced with flash forwards the show actually feels like it is progressing rather than milking our ever shortening attention spans. The body count is noticably higher too.
So why go blu ray? Well as with all blu ray it needs a high def TV to appreciate it. Watching it on a 42" plasma screen that supports 1080p it looks stunning. Lost is a beautifully shot TV shows with excellent production values and it shows on screen. If you also have a decent sound setup then you will notice the sound is similarly excellent. Worth buying if you have the equipment to support it.
