Youtube Review: Godzilla and his amazing friends.

Creator: Goji73.

Number of  episodes: 18

Story: The adventures of Godzilla and his friends Anguirus and Rodan on Monster Island. Featuring kaiju from both the Godzilla and Ultraman series.

Completed?: Not yet.

My thoughts: This is a really amazing show. This has a lot of heart and effort into making it and it shows. A lot of your favourite kaijus are in this show. I have to admit I have never heard of any of the Ultraman monsters and I am looking forward to see where the series is heading.

Ideas for future episodes: Gamera appears as a Intergalactic Protector, Godzilla and Geronimon being force to join forces and take on a bigger threat, Godzilla and his friends come across the pacific rim kaijus who are the ancient guardians of a lost civilisation, and perhaps Zilla making a appearance.

Would I recommend this?: Yes

My score: Four stars.

Film Review: The Giant Claw

Release date: June 1957.

Story: While doing radar testing in the North Pole, a civil aeronautical engineer named MacAfee spots a unidentified flying object and sends three jets out to investigate. But one goes missing and MacAfee gets blamed for a hoax.. But soon planes start disappearing all over the world and people keep radioing reports of something "as big as a battleship" is responsible. It turns out to be a gigantic bird that supposingly had come from a antimatter galaxy. Could MacAfee and everyone else stop this bird before its too late? Watch the film and find out.

My thoughts: This movie is a classic B movie. It's characters are ok and most of the action is good. However the puppetry for the giant bird is laughable at times. Also you better get used to the phrase "As big as a battleship!" As it will be mentioned constantly through out the movie.

My score: Three stars.

TV Review: Joey

Release date: September 9th 2004 - August 23rd 2006. Two seasons, forty six episodes.

Story: After the events of Friends, Joey Tribbiani moves west to Los Angeles to pursue his acting carrier. Were he meets his sister Gina Tribbiani, her son Michael, his new agent Roberta "Bobbie" Morgenstern, an inspiring actor Zach Miller, and his neighbours Howard and Alexis "Alex" Garret.

My thoughts: Even thought I found this funny, it sadly doesn't hold up to its predecessor. But it is still a enjoyable series. It was sad that this got cancelled after two seasons. I would like to see what this show would have led too. Joey getting an Oscar? Other characters from Friends making guest appearances? Or something else perhaps? We might never know.

My score: Three stars.

Film Review: The Taking of Pelham 123

Release date: October 2nd 1974.

Story: Four criminals (known as Mr Blue, Mr Green, Mr Grey, and Mr Brown) hijack a subway train and say that they will kill the hostages unless New York city pays one million dollars. It is up to a New York Transit Authority Police Lieutenant (played by Walter Matthau) to try and save the day. Will he be able to do it? Watch the movie and find out.

My thoughts: This is a great movie.  It may be slow but it makes up for it with great characters and a nail biting climax. If you are interested in action/suspense movies then this is the movie for you.

My score: Four stars. 

Film Review: Gremlins

Release date: June 8th 1984.

Story: During the Christmas season, a young man receives a present from his father. It turns out to be a mysterious creature called a Mogwai (which has the name Gizmo). But there are three rules that the owner has to follow when keeping a mogwai.

1. Keep the mogwai away from bright light. They hates bright light. Especially sunlight.
2. Do not give the mogwai any water at all.
3. No matter how much the mogwai cries or begs..... Never feed it after midnight

Somewhere down the line, the rules get broken and chaos happens. What kind of chaos? Watch the movie and find out.

My thoughts: Another great movie from the 80's. The creature effects are great and the characters are also great. This movie started the whole "Tiny monsters on the loose" movie craze. I would recommend this for everyone.

My score: Four and a half stars.

TV Review: The thin blue line

Release date: November 13th 1995 - December 23rd 1996. Two series. Fourteen episodes.

Story: The comedic life and trials of the policemen and women at Gasforth police station.

My thoughts: Even though this has the great Rowan Atkinson in it, it sadly not a very good show. Despite of there only being two seasons, the jokes are often not funny and sometimes the characters are not that likable. Like in the first episode of series two, Inspector Fowler (Rowan Atkinson's character) deliberately allowed a criminal to walk free in court in order to keep his morals (despite the fact that the evidence was planted) and in the last episode of series two when Detective Inspector Derek Grim of CID keeps stating that Fowler will never get a promotion due to the fact that Fowler is not married yet lives with his lover for ten years. The jokes are also too adult and not to my liking. But if you like Rowan Atkinson in anything then give this a watch.

My score: Two stars.

TV Review: Red Dwarf

Release date: February 15th 1988 - April 5th 1999 (original series). October 4th 2012 - present (Revived series). Twelve series.

Story: 3 million years into deep space, the mining ship Red Dwarf sails on it's endless voyage home. It's crew are dead. Killed by a radiation leak. The only survivors are Dave Lister (who was placed in suspended animation due to smuggling a cat on board) and his cat who was safely sealed in the cargo hold. After Lister had been released 3 million years later, his only companions are Arnold J Rimmer (a hologram of his dead bunk mate), Cat (a humanoid lifeform that evolved from cats), Kryten (a mechanoid who was rescued from a crashed spacecraft), and Holly (the ship's computer).

My thoughts: I never thought that comedy and science fiction could go together. But then I watched this and was immediately a fan. The first ever Red Dwarf thing that I ever watched was the Back to Earth three part special. But the first episode of the original series that I'd watched was Guns of the Apocalypses. I like the characters, the episodes, and the space crafts. I would recommend this for those who are fans of both science fiction and comedies alike.

My score: Five stars.
