Tomorrow Never Dies, a review by GSyren
(From Reviews and ramblings by Gunnar on October 20th, 2014) Paul Merton in China , a review by RichPaul Merton In China 4 part series originally shown on Channel 5, of interest to those who enjoy travelogues such as Palins adventures. Clearly by choosing comedian Merton as the presenter the producers had hoped to make this slightly more entertaining than other similar shows. However with what was clearly a punishing schedule, and Merton having 'stomach' trouble after tasting local cuisine such as donkey cock and sheeps testicles, he came across a lot of the time as grouchy and an ungrateful tourist. There was also some restrictions on his access in China, and it was clear that he was minded by several government officials during his trip. I found his dry humour, which works well on his various TV appearances, just fell flat at times and was disappointed he was very unadventurous in various scenarios. I don't want to totally lambaste the series, it was entertaining, but did not get near the quality or appeal of several similar genre exploits. (From Riches Random Reviews on February 1st, 2009) Weekend Movie Marathon: TV Show Reunion Movies, a review by addicted2dvdAlien Nation: Body and Soul Sikes and Francisco investigate the compelling case of a mysterious girl who appears to be half-human and half-Tenctonese, perhaps the first of her kind. And, wanting to take their relationship to the next level, Sikes and his Newcomer love interest Cathy must learn the basics of interspecies physiology. My Thoughts: This is the second of five Alien Nation reunion movies. It is a good movie... with a nice collection of extras. With some story lines this one is taking over where the last one left off... giving it a real feel as if it is part of the series instead of a stand alone movie. I like that... makes for much more enjoyable watching. This DVD also has a nice little collection of extras which I haven't had the chance to check out... unfortunately there is no trailers for the movies on the discs.
