The Crystal Maze (1990)
Challenges your mind in a more 3 dimensional way.
I came across this game show while living in Bangkok, Thailand. It is a show which I have long wished would be shown on Australian television. But alas it never has been.
I found that even as a viewer this show challenges your mind in a more 3 dimensional way. Something that most run of the mill game shows lack in their questions.
It's a shame that is no longer in production....but there are always hopes of re-runs right?
Mission: Impossible II (2000)
Sydney has never looked better on film.....
While the person I was sitting next to in this film classed it as far fetched, I couldn't take my eyes away from the screen. Sydney has never looked better on film and not once was I offended by the portrayal of Australians like I often am in so many other films.
Cruise was excellent in his return to the role of Ethan Hunt, in fact he improved on his first attempt. I preferred the sequel to the original which is very rare. He also managed to bring back some of that 'Top Gun' charm that made us all love him back in 1986. I haven't had the urge to gawk at Cruise since 'Cocktail'.
John Polson was a familiar and welcome face to see on the big screen and along with Ving Rhames provided excellent comic value to an already exciting film.
If you're not sure about seeing this film, I would certainly recommend it. It may be far fetched but when is an Action Film ever realistic and in my opinion Mission: Impossible should never be anything but.
Event Horizon (1997)
That's 90 minutes of my life I'll never retrieve.
I had been anticipating this films release. It sounded like the type of movie that I would be impressed by. I quite enjoyed the beginning and the middle but the end ruined the whole film. I don't consider myself weak and don't have a dislike for horror, however, this film simply disgusted me. I saw it for free and I'm still not satisfied. That's 90 minutes of my life I'll never retrieve.
