Bionic Woman (2007)
Great, sexy and fun
I don't know what everyone else has been watching because i'm only half way through the series and i'm gripped. It may not be fast paced action packed and full of superstars but it has other qualities. Michelle Ryan is a surprisingly good actress and a very sexy one at that. I must admit it's a little dark and "gothik like" but the story lines of each episode are good enough to keep you intrigued. This along with some fantastic fight scenes makes for great entertainment. All in all, i've found "The Bionic woman" highly enjoyable. Just don't make the mistake of comparing it to the original. It's a totally different ride all together.
Dan in Real Life (2007)
Highly Enjoyable
When you see the names of Steve Carrel and Dane Cook on the cast list you automatically think "Wacky comedy". This is far from it. If i had to put this film into a genre i would call it a romantic comedy for mature adults. It's based around Carrels character Dan. He's a writer who helps people through general problems in life with his magazine column. He's wife has passed away leaving him to bring up 3 daughters alone. During a get together with his family, he takes a trip to the book store where he meets a women. A woman he instantly falls for. After having a bite to eat with her she quickly leaves for a prior engagement. Dan then returns to his family and is stunned to see the woman he met is his brothers (played by Cook) girlfriend. The film shows Dans struggle to come to terms with this shock whilst trying to deal with various family problems. It's brilliantly written and very witty. All in all a highly enjoyable movie. If your looking for crude jokes, wacky one liners or full on slap-stick comedy this is not for you. If you like a more mature movie, i would recommend this all day long.
The Big Bang Theory (2007)
Best thing since F.R.I.E.N.D.S
When i first saw this advertised i wasn't convinced it would be the show for me. How wrong i was. The basic plot is based around four geeks with no clue about women and a gorgeous women who's just moved to the area. An unlikely friendship materializes and they end up forming a group that get up to everyday things with hilarious consequences. The writing is excellent and the acting is better. Each character is extremely funny in their own way. I would recommend this show to everyone, anyone with an ounce of a sense of humour will find this funny and enjoyable. Well lets face it, the fact that the very sexy Kaley Cuoco stars in it also helps.
Five Fingers (2006)
Great film
There are so many films out there that i guess the ending or work out the twist. This wasn't one of them. This film, if given the chance, is edge of the seat stuff for a proper film fan. I tried to guess the twist many times and was way off every time. It does start slow but give it a chance, it will drag you in and leave you guessing. The brilliant performances from phillipe and fishburne shine through. If you want fast pace action and explosions this film isn't for you but if you enjoy a film that makes you think and guess, watch it. I give this film 8 out of 10 for the simple fact that its different and that you will NOT guess the ending.
