FUTURAMA SEASON 3

By • Nov 30th, 1999 • Category: Reviews

Review By Paul Mount, 4 out of 5
Ok, so FUTURAMA was never going to scale the giddy height of Matt Groening’s other animated series ?a little yellow-skinned family you may have heard of known as THE SIMPSONS. But the warped and wicked adventures of the crew of the Planet Express delivery service deserved far [...]



SPIDER-MAN

Review By Paul Mount, 3.5 out of 5
Was it really only five months ago that this long-awaited superhero flick was redefining the term ?ox office smash? Apparently so and here it is on shiny DVD just in time for Christmas stockings everywhere. I became a Spidey fan when Marvel UK opened its [...]

Review By Liam O Brien, 4 out of 5 If your are planning on going to see a happy, festive film over the holidays, perhaps it would be best to avoid LEMONY SNICKET’S A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS. Instead, go and see THE POLAR EXPRESS [...]



PLANET OF THE APES

By • Nov 30th, 1999 • Category: Reviews

Review By Paul Mount, 3 out of 5
US science-fiction TV in the 1970s was a very strange beast indeed. There were none of the hallmarks of today’s better fantasy shows ?no multi-layered story arcs, no intriguing conspiracy theories, no well-rounded characters. No, back in the 1970s US SF TV was just runaround stuff, variations [...]

Review By Paul Mount, 3.5 out of 5
“Sometimes it seems like it happened to someone else. Like maybe it was a story I heard?The hardest part is not knowing?f any of them made it. If I knew for sure I was the only one left, it would be worse. The truth is [...]



MATINEE

By • Nov 30th, 1999 • Category: Reviews

Review By Paul Mount, 3.5 out of 5Handy budget-priced release for Joe Dante’s fondly-remembered but oft-forgotten 1993 homage to 1950s B-movie and the age of nuclear paranoia. Goodman plays Lawrence Woolsey, a cheesy director of cheap and cheerful horror films. He brings his circus to town for the premier of his latest film – [...]



TREMORS, 3:, BACK TO PERFECTION

By • Nov 30th, 1999 • Category: Reviews

Review By Paul Mount, 3 out of 5 ack in 1989, the original TREMORS, starring Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon, was an unexpected critical, if not box office, hit. Harking back to the cheap thrills of 1950s B-movie monster chillers, TREMORS was a breath of fresh air, a guilty pleasure for those [...]

Review By Paul Mount, 4.5 out of 5
Well, you pays your money, you makes your choice? You can wait until December for the Region 2 Boxset of Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale’s epic time travel trilogy or you can track down the Region 4 (Region 2 compatible too, according to the packaging) boxset at a [...]
