Roger Corman and folks at The Asylum have a lot to answer for… That’s all I’m saying.
Sharknado. A film that proved you don’t have to have a lot of money or great CGI to pull in an audience on the Syfy channel. All you need is a giant creature and a ridiculous concept! Since the debut of That film, it seems like Syfy have greenlit any and all monster movie scripts that they’re sent. Hence we come to Lake Placid vs. Anaconda.

Jason (Jack Donnelly) goes wild in this week's Atlantis - when our penniless hero greedily gobbles up an abandoned feast, he finds that the food on offer has some most unusual properties...
Soon, our hero is out of control and his friends Hercules (Mark Addy) and Pythagoras (Robert Emms) have to rein in his behaviour before Heptarian (Oliver Walker) puts his rival out of action for good.

Last week, it was Hercules (Mark Addy) feeling the bitter sting of heartbreak and now it's Jason (Jack Donnelly) who's suffering from unrequited love pangs as the Royal family - absent from last week's Atlantis - return to the fore.
Jason is devastated when he learns that the woman he loves has been promised to another and when King Minos (Alexander Siddig) announces a fighting contest, the Pancratium, to mark his daughter's impending nuptials, our headstrong hero signs himself up…
Herein lies the biggest problem with 'The Rules of Engagement' - it's hard to buy into the passionate relationship between Jason and Ariadne (Aiysha Hart) simply because they've spent so little time together on screen - episode five 'White Lies' being a rare exception on that front.
With their Romeo and Juliet tale having taken up so little screentime, Jason's affections come off like the crush of an...

Review Dave Adamson 9 Nov 2013 - 20:52
Halfway through its first season, has Atlantis found its footing? Here's Dave's review...
This review contains spoilers.
1.7 The Rules of Engagement
Heptarian and Ariadne are betrothed and everyone is rejoicing. Except Ariadne. She’s a bit unhappy with all this. Pasiphae is convinced that, once Heptarian wins the Pancratium, all will be well in the heart of Ariadne. But everyone’s favourite Atlantean villain hasn’t counted upon the interferencing ways of everyone’s favourite Atlantean hero… Jason.
He’s still very much in love with Ariadne and, despite her Pasiphae-influenced protestation that she doesn’t love him, he’s intent on entering the competition to risk his life and prove his love.
Pasiphae continues her descent into darkness, thanks to her manipulation of Ariadne and Heptarian and a poison that she administers to her own husband. If it works as it should, it...

Expect sharp blades, sharp tongues and sharp cheekbones in this week's Atlantis as Jason (Jack Donnelly) pits himself against Heptarian (Oliver Walker) in a last-ditch effort to win the heart of Ariadne (Aiysha Hart).
Up against fierce competition, Jason must use all of his wits and strength to survive the Pancratium - a brutal fighting contest. But with his life on the line, will Ariadne follow her head or her heart?
> Atlantis episode 7 - in pictures: Broken hearts and broken bones
Atlantis continues on Saturday (November 9) at 8pm on BBC One.
1. So Jason is shirtless for pretty much the entire 42 minutes - also frequently sweaty and dirty!
2. "It's something to see - believe me!"
3. Someone gets a knee to the knackers, someone else gets a boot to the arse.
4. "Free pies!"
5. Hercules (Mark Addy) is struggling to win back Medusa's (Jemima Rooper) friendship after the events of last week.
6. "We don't have to be enemies.

'White Lies' is what one might term an 'Ariadne-centric' episode of Atlantis - a bit of a blank slate at first, Aiysha Hart's enchanting princess has displayed fiery flashes of personality in the past few weeks. Here, caught in the middle of a family crisis, she finally takes something approaching centre stage.
With Ariadne locked away in her ivory tower and Jason down among the peasants, the story-of-the-week gives the pining pair an excuse to finally share some meaningful screen time after weeks of brief, longing glances.
What we're subsequently treated to is a little teen-romance-by-numbers - conversations through locked doors, Jason catching the briefest of glances as his lady love changes clothes - but Hart and her scene partner Jack Donnelly are both charming performers who make this familiar 'will they / won't they' shtick watchable.
The main thrust of 'White Lies' concerns Ariadne's brother...

Atlantis returns this week with its strongest offering yet, as Jason (Jack Donnelly) stands up to sneering nobleman Heptarian (Oliver Walker) and quickly finds himself brought before the ruthless King Minos (Alexander Siddig).
Sentenced to serve as a bull leaper, our hero - plus his pals Hercules (Mark Addy) and Pythagoras (Robert Emms) - must vault slathering beasts in the city arena for the entertainment of the masses.
The trio forge an uneasy alliance with other captives to survive... but will any of them escape with their lives?
Atlantis continues this Saturday (October 12) at 8.30pm on BBC One.
> Atlantis episode 3 - in pictures: Jason faces savage beasts
1. Jason leaps into action without thinking... and it costs him dearly.
2. "You'll find the extent of his ignorance truly astonishing."
3. Hercules has noticed those saucy glances Ariadne's been shooting Jason!
4. "It is a masculine musk!"
5. Jack Donnelly lovers rejoice - Jason is shirtless...
