King Arthur, a review by Jon


King Arthur
2 out of 5




The heroic true story behind one of history's greatest legends explodes onto the screen. It is the valiant tale of Arthur (Clive Owen) and his bond of brotherhood with Lancelot (loan Gruffudd) and the loyalty of the Knights Of The Round Table as they fight for freedom and those they love. Also starring Keira Knightley as Guinevere, this never-before-seen KING ARTHUR is a longer, grittier and more explicit motion picture.

King Arthur has been discussed before on this forum (see here!

Double Suicide, a review by Antares


Double Suicide (1969) 65/100 - This definitely wasn't what I was expecting from this film after reading the description on a few other sites. The story itself, although consider a time worn classic, doesn't really have much bite to it. And I feel that the gimmick of having the 'puppeteers' in the scenes, didn't really add anything significant enough to have their presence justified. In the beginning of the film, you see real bunraku puppeteers readying themselves for a play. I think it would have made the film more enjoyable if not only had the director used the live action puppeteers, but also did exposition scenes using bunraku puppets and puppeteers to tell the viewer how the two lovers came to be in their deadly situation. It would have given the live action puppeteers some basis for being there and not just a gimmick.

What the color coding means...

Teal = Masterpiece
Dark Green = Classic or someday will be
Lime Green = A good, entertaining film
Orange = Average
Red = Cinemuck
Brown = The color of crap, which this film is

Tom's Random Star Trek Reviews, a review by Tom


VOY 7.03 Drive
Writer: Michael Taylor (Writer)
Director: Winrich Kolbe
Cast: Kate Mulgrew (Captain Kathryn Janeway), Robert Beltran (Chakotay), Roxann Dawson (B'Elanna Torres), Robert Duncan McNeill (Tom Paris), Ethan Phillips (Neelix), Robert Picardo (The Doctor), Tim Russ (Tuvok), Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine), Garrett Wang (Harry Kim), Cyia Batten (Irina), Brian George (O'Zaal), Patrick Kilpatrick (Assan), Robert Tyler (Joxom), Chris Covics (Assistant), Majel Barrett (Computer Voice (voice))

In the final season of Voyager, they finally put more focus on the P/T relationship again.

B'Elanna asks herself the same question as I as a viewer did: It has been three years since the P/T relationship began, but why was there hardly any progress at all?
In this episode Tom takes on a race challenge, forgetting about a romantic getaway B'Elanna had planned. This starts B'Elanna thinking, if it wouldn't be best to break off the relationship.
During the course of the episode, they talk their problems out, Tom proves that his first priority is with her, and they get married.
