SciFind’s Reviews of Science Fiction DVD / Blu ray / Audio / Book Titles
Review By Peter Edwards, 5 out of 5 You may think that Scifind only reviews Science Fiction or Horror movies, you were wrong in truth we will review any film that is any good and this certainly falls into this category. Bob Harris (Bill Murray) and Charlotte (Scarlett Johannson) star in this film about friendship …
Review By Paul Mount, 3.5 out of 5 “Why are you so scared to be human?” ROSWELL, based on a series of teen drama books by Melinda Metz, ran for three seasons. All of them passed me by. Oh, I was aware of the show, of course. I tuned in once or twice but I …
Review By Liam O Brien, 5 out of 5 With the release of KILL BILL VOL. II a few months back, opinion of this first half has changed several times over to bring into line what people thought of its second, more plot lead, half. To begin with, VOL. I was hailed as a marvellous …
Review By Liam O Brien, 4 out of 5 The tenure of John Nathan-Turner as producer on DOCTOR WHO from 1980 to 1989 is a bone of contention here at SciFind. On one hand I love eighties WHO- its classy, clever stuff, colourful, inventive and boasts better visual effects than anything the show had seen …
Review By Paul Mount, 3.5 out of 5 It’s beginning to look as if I’m not that much of a James Bond film after all. I got bored and frustrated with Roger Moore’s one-eyebrow performances, Timothy Dalton passed me by (you too?) and Brosnan’s first effort, GOLDENEYE, underwhelmed. However TOMORROW NEVER DIES kicked serious ass. …
Review By Paul Mount, 4 out of 5 With Britain’s TV schedules currently at an all-time low it’s refreshing to be able to get a second chance to take a look at quality drama like OKTOBER and to remember, with a shudder, that it was only made six years ago. Now we’re awash with lowbrow …
Review By Paul Mount, 4 out of 5 It’s generally accepted that by about 1977, as THE TOMORROW PEOPLE reached its fifth year and the focus of much of the show’s attention shifted to pretty boy wannabe pop idol Mike Holoway, the series had become a bit pants. Viewing the series – reduced to just …
Review By Paul Mount, 3 out of 5 Rob Bowman’s apocalyptic monster movie, which failed to set the Box office alight last year (ho ho) finally arrives on DVD and if you’ve got a few quid to spare and absolutely nothing better to spend it on, you could do worse than pick up REIGN OF …
Review By Paul Mount, 3.5 out of 5 In space, no-one can hear you?r, get hacked to bits by a resuscitated cryogenically-suspended unstoppable serial killer. No, doesn? have quite the same ring, does it? We?l have to make do with Evil gets an Upgrade , the tagline for JASON X, the latest in the long-running …
Review By Liam O Brien, 5 out of 5 “My men just put 3 high explosive grenades into a confined area, nothing even remotely human could survive that!” “That’s the point group captain it isn’t even remotely human!” To think I have spent most of my fifteen years on this earth oblivious of the joys …
Review By Paul Mount, 3.5 out of 5 This moderately-entertaining horror film hails from the early 1970s, when UK horror was still very much the domain of the bods at Hammer and Chris Lee? Dracula was camping it up in increasingly-silly romps and Peter Cushing was still manipulating the twitching corpse of Frankenstein? monster. BLOOD …
Review By Paul Mount, 4 out of 5 “I’m your number one fan.” Novelist Paul Sheldon (Caan) has made his name and his fortune by chronicling the melodramatic exploits of his Victorian heroine Misery Chastain. But his latest, just-published hardback has killed off his creation and he’s just finished writing his first non-Misery novel. On …
