TV Review: Blackadder the third.

Release date: 17th September - 20th October 1987 (six episodes).

Story: In this reincarnation, Edmund Blackadder is the butler to the Prince of Wales George the fourth. And shows what life is like in late 18th century Britain with his sidekick Baldrick.

My thoughts: This is my favourite series in the Blackadder series. Even though they mention historic events in the wrong order (such as the case in the whole run of the show), it is both funny and witty.

My score: Four stars.

TV Review: Blackadder two

Release date: 9th January - 20th February 1986 (6 episodes).

Story: The many happenings of Lord Edmund Blackadder during the reign of Queen Elisabeth the first.

My thoughts: This second Blackadder series is where the creators change many things. Blackadder is now the sly and cunning one while Baldrick is now the stupid one. And along with Percy, new characters were introduced. Including Queen Elisabeth the first, her advisor Lord Melchett (played by Stephen Fry), and her former nanny Nursie. And The idea of putting each series in a different time period is a cool idea.

My score: Three stars.

TV Review: The Blackadder.

Release date: 15th June - 20th July 1983 (6 episodes).

Story: In an alternate reality, Richard the third won the battle of Bosworth field, yet was killed accidently by the second son of his nephew (Edmund). Because of this, Richard's nephew (also named Richard) became Richard the fourth of England. And Edmund became the prince of the realm. And so he decides to give himself a new title. And so with his two sidekicks (The idiot Percy and the scheming Baldrick), Edmund strives forth as Prince Edmund Blackadder.

My thoughts: This was the very first Blackadder series. And it is very different from the others that will follow. Edmund is more of an idiot in this series and Baldrick is the schemer who has all of the ideas. This will change in the later series. Brian Blessed is great as Richard the fourth and the other characters are ok. And the theme music and song is one of the most recognisable in television comedy history.

My score: Three stars.

Film Review: Westworld.

Release date: November 21st 1973.

Story: In the far future, there exist a ultra expensive amusement park. Where visitors can enjoy what their hearts desire. They can chose one of three worlds. Western world (a cowboy themed area), Medieval world (a knights and castle area), and Roman world (an ancient roman area). And in each of these worlds are robots. Human looking androids which follow a series or orders and act like the people of the era. Yes it is indeed an amazing place to visit... what can possibly go wrong?

My thoughts?: This is a good film. The characters are good and the whole idea of a amusement park with androids is something that might happen in the future. There is a slow build up to when the androids malfunction (yet they don't say who or what caused it) is worthwhile and this film spawned a sequel, two tv shows, and was the inspiration for the novel Jurassic Park.

My score: Three stars.

Film Review: Batman vs the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Release date: June 4th 2019.

Story: Batman encounters the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as two of their deadliest enemies join forces in order to bring chaos to Gotham city.

My thoughts: This is a good film. It is based on the six issue comic book series of the same name. And it is great to see these two series meeting each other. But there are somethings that I didn't like about it much. One thing was the fact that the TMNT world co-exist with the Batman world. There was no "Interdimensional travel" to be found here. Also there was the mutagen or ooze. In the TMNT lore, when you come into contact with the ooze, you'll be transformed into the animal that you've been in contact the most. Yet in this, you just transform into any random animal (and in one case a plant). But apart from those, it is a great film with a lot of comedy and action.

My score: Four stars.

Film Review: Godzilla (2014).

Release date: May 8th 2014 (Dolby theatre release). May 16th 2014 (US release).

Story: After a horrible accident that killed his mother fifteen years ago, US Marine bomb disposal expert Ford Brody returns home to be with his family. Yet he is called to come and collect his father in Japan who has been caught trespassing in an quarantine zone. It turns out that his father (named Joe) believes that the accident wasn't an accident and that something else had caused it. And it turns out that he was right when two giant monsters (named Mutos) have awakened and are rampaging across America. Yet there is hope for mankind. And it comes in the form of another giant monster... named Godzilla.

My thoughts: This is a very great movie. The characters may be on the dull side (apart from Joe Brody) but it's Godzilla and the Mutos that make up for it. Apart from the small amount of time that the monsters are on screen (everyone keeps complaining that the movie concentrates more on the people instead of the kaijus and also that it keeps cutting away from the kaiju action. Yet there are other Godzilla films that do the same. And others where Godzilla shows up even less then in this movie), it is still a great film. Godzilla looks impressive, the Mutos look cool, and the build up to these monsters is great. It's sequel (Godzilla: King of the Monsters) is already in cinemas and I would highly recommend you go and see it.

My score: Five stars.

Film Review: Godzilla (1998).

Release date: May 20th 1998.

Story: There have been increasing reports of ships being attacked by an unknown menace. Nobody knows who or what is that cause of the attacks. But it turns out to be a very huge threat indeed. And it is heading towards New York city.

My thoughts: This was America's first attempted to create a Godzilla film. And it didn't turn out so well. This film was hated by Godzilla fans and even by members of Toho itself. But I have to say that I like the design of the monster itself. It's not Godzilla but it is a cool looking kaiju in it's own right. In fact Toho brought this monster and renamed it Zilla and it even appeared in two other Godzilla films. Well the first one was a breath mentioning in G.M.K: Giant monsters all out attack (where a group of students were talking about recent Godzilla sightings. One of them mentions about an attack in New York city and that the Americans claimed that it was Godzilla. But the other students are no so sure). And the other one was in Godzilla Final Wars. Where Zilla was quickly defeated by Godzilla in Sydney. Like I said this film may be a bad Godzilla film, but it is a good kaiju film.

My score: Three stars.
