My Thoughts:
OK. I have to say... I liked this one too. It is basically the same story. I would say I like them both about the same amount. The original is stronger in some areas where this remake is stronger in other areas. I think the original did better with conveying the storyline. But I think the remake just had better effects... and was more graphic which I liked. So when all is said and done... I am thrilled I have both of them in my collection now.

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5

My Thoughts:
I was a bit vary of this one. 90s Bollywood movies are generally not as good as later ones and added to that, this one has not so good reviews. But surprisingly I really enjoyed it. The enjoyment suffered little by the bad video quality of this DVD though.

My PILOT Marathon, a review by Rich


Doctor Who - The New Series - Vol. 1

Rose
When Rose Tyler meets a mysterious stranger called the Doctor, her life will never be the same again. Soon, she realises that her mum, her boyfriend, and the whole of Planet Earth are in danger. The only hope for salvation lies inside a strange blue box...



Meet the new Doctor and his companion Rose as, together, they set out across space and time in a series of exhilarating adventures and deadly confrontations.

Having seen several episodes haphazardly I knew what to expect from this pilot, but am still disappointed when I compare it to the classics of yesteryear. The 'humour' and slapstick is laid on much too thick, and the storyline of this first episode too farcical.
However I think the combination of Ecclestone and Piper shows promise, and the introduction of how they meet and the chemistry between them is excellent.
Altogether a reasonable taster, albeit I'll always be a greater fan of the old doctors.
 :D
