As always, i'm sceptical about anything skyone produces themselves. And as usual i'm wrong. The stories wrap up in ten minutes nicely, there's a great cast and the idea that no one speaks is fantastic. Its really something different and a great way to spend an entire ten minutes (!!).

Peter capaldi is excellent at whatever role he takes and he excels as 'the man', as does timothy and bill nighy...even ross kemp! Each story is unique in its own little way and its clear to see that a lot of work has gone into each second on screen. Not only does it draw you in and make you feel for the characters...but it gets you thinking, even the absurd episodes! Its doubtful that this could appear on DVD, if you missed them, but hopefully they might be repeated. Youtube will probably get them somehow, so lets hope! Hope also for maybe a second series next Christmas time.

Now, i liked 'The Avengers' , 'Bullseye!' and loved 'Juno'... but 'Jennifer Body' was utter rubbish. Not only was the storyline completely screwed up and laughs minimal...it's also extremely predictable... Maybe its because i had such high expectations for this film...because, lets admit it....the trailer was awesome! But half of the humorous lines from the trailer are ultimately cut from the film. Call me violent, but the violence was minimal as well. I have to give the film 4 stars as the acting wasn't terrible and some bits were entertaining but on the whole the film felt drab, boring and as you re-enter the real world you come out feeling empty, because not much happens. I would recommend you give it a try, if you're into this sort of thing.

The film is pretty confusing and ludicrous. The plot is awful...but on the plus side the acting is pretty good, with a few good shouts and rants. Sharon stone is OK this time...not even half as good as the original mind you. The murders aren't as gory as the first one either, which is a shame. Its not the unpredictable mess everyone say it is though. The sex is pretty graphic at times while others it is clear it is fake (they are fully clothed). The script is weak most of the time, but the scenes with banter and arguments between Dr.Glass and Washburn are highlights. The plot twists a few times, but the ending is awful. The tension is always constant with a huge dollop of 'Oh my god!'. The chase sequences are brilliantly directed, and shots and camera angles are impressive and bring a bit of class to an otherwise, rush-felt film. Sharon stone is a bit old for this too. The bits where we see her breasts were, in the first one, delights. This time around, they are too horrid to describe. The films its self is rather average, but it is worth a go. Mainly because the film does deserve some good buzz...with the opening sequence being a highlight. Not to be critical, but if you liked the first one - leave this one. Don't ruin the run. You'll be glad you left this stone unturned.
