Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: Outlander

Genre: Action Adventure Sci-Fi , contains strong bloody violence & strong languge

Cert: 15 cert

Story: In 709 AD, in the Iron Age, a spacecraft crashes in the Viking kingdom of Heorot, Norway, and the pilot Kainan (Jim Caviezel) survives. He turns the beacon on; learns the language and culture of the planet using a machine; and finds that the predator, Moorwen, that he was transporting, had escaped. While chasing the alien monster, he finds a village completely destroyed and is arrested by the warrior Wulfric, believing that he killed the locals - Kainan is brought to Heorot as a prisoner. Though both man and monster are seeking revenge for violence committed against them, Kainan leads the alliance to kill the Moorwen by fusing his advanced technology with the Viking's Iron Age weaponry.

Likes :  this film was awesome,think of lord of the rings,beowulf & alien all rolled in to one film.jim caviezel play kainan a pilot from a distance planet who after having he whole family & base destroyed by an alien called a moorwen an alien predator that intelligent smart uses light to affect it prey,i love the fact that it in a time 709 ad viking iron age,it set the tone of a sci-fi action film,John Hurt plays as Hrothgar the viking leader of the clan who befriend kainan after discovering the truth of why he's there,the beautiful Sophia Myles plays Freya hrothgar daughter a very tough,handle her self charter she plays her but with a feminine side.Ron Perlman plays Gunnar the other leader of he's clan that was destroyed by this thing,Jack Huston plays Wulfric i found his charter to be very urgent & self centred dose thing is own way but it the wrong way.The special effect like the space science & the atmosphere of the film was just spot on,special the special with the moorwen it real dose look like something you don't want to mess with it show intelligence as well which is awesome because most alien film all you see is a mindless killing machine but with this alien you see an amazing intelligent for hunting & stalking it prey.i think jim caviezel would be a good choice for john shephard in the mass effect game if they ever made it in to a film.

Dislikes : nothing to say bad about this film because is was awesome

Overall :  If you like sci-fi, action , adventure,horror film this is one not to miss awesome all the way through with a back storyline.

Rating:  5 out of 5 stars for entertainment, 10 out of 10 for storyline & story theme

Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: Spawn

Genre:   Action Fantasy Thriller, contains strong horror violence & strong language

Cert: 18 cert

Story:  One of the most popular independent comic books of its decade was transformed into this dark, bloody adventure intended to launch a profitable superhero franchise. Michael Jai White stars as Al Simmons, a corrupt assassin betrayed and murdered by his evil government supervisor, Jason Wynn (Martin Sheen). Sent to Hell, Simmons is offered a chance to return to the earthly plane if he will become a "Hellspawn" ("Spawn" for short), one of many super-powered creatures assigned to encourage living souls along the path to damnation. Simmons hastily agrees to this deal and becomes a twisted, scarred version of his former self, living in a dingy alleyway, with no hope of regaining his life, as several years have passed and his wife Wanda (Theresa Randle) has married his best friend, Terry Fitzgerald (D.B. Sweeney). Despite the best efforts of his mentor, a demonic clown (John Leguizamo), Spawn performs mostly heroic acts, though he is not above seeking revenge on Wynn. Despite the film's middling box office take, plans for a sequel were announced. The same summer that Spawn was released, the comic was also the basis of a well-received cable TV series.

Likes : i love this film,its dark,violet,special effects are awesome for this type of film,the storyline is very good,Ive seen a lot of Micheal jai white films he an amazing marshal artist seeing him play spawn was a fitting role for him he suited it down to a tee, the story line of al simmons a solider working for a corrupted special government office was betrayed & sent to hell to lend the devils army,but kept his humanity through the love he had for his wife wanda played by theresa randle, the visual effect were just awesome special spawn suit of armour that with the cape he can use to blend in to anything he mind can control,it such a dark story line but an awesome storyline at that,john leguizamo star of romeo & juliet, super mario bros ,the pest & land of the dead was so funny playing the demon clown violator special when he dose he pom pom dance song spawny spawny he are man & he one liners like you've been violated girly man & every time a demon farts an angel loss's it wings.Ive seen john leguizamo play a lot of parts in film but this was he best performance by far he got that comical sense of humour in him which made he a good fit for the clown but i bet it was hard walking around like he had to do this role.Martin Sheen laying the evil criminal that sent al simmons to hell was very good playing this role,Melinda Clarke plays Melinda Clarke which there is just something about her that make her sexy & dangerous at the same time in this role,Miko Hughes plays the little boy zack who befriend spawn.this film is worth watching.Ive also seen the animated series on spawn very bloody/dark & violent as well.

Dislikes : The Devil Malebolgia the special effect could of been a little bit better more menacing

Overall if you like dark films,dark storyline,voilents & fantasy this is one film not to miss.

What you are about to see is the actual footage which the astronauts captured on that mission. While NASA denies its authenticity, others say it's the real reason we've never gone back to the moon.

Likes: Altho this is a reconstruction of what happened to apollo 18 fatal mission to the moon the american goverment covered up is it really real , because it really dose explain why we havent been to the moon since the last mission in 1972, many be they did incounter e.t live form on the moon that was extremely dangerous,maybe the first mission to the moon if it was real they found something because you know what goverments are like,something that big they cover up because of region if a life form was ever found the world region would collaspe they would have no control over us.but watching the film it was a little bit creep in places the acting was pretty good but weather it was real who knows.

Dislikes: One problem with this film is that its to dam slow there not enough sence where you see what the e.t life form is.

Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: Paranormal Activity 3

Genre:  Horror , contain extreme paranormal violences

Cert: 18 cert

Story : Paranormal Activity 3 is set in 1988 when sisters Kristi and Katie are young (5 and 9, respectively). It is meant to chronicle the events that the girls cannot fully remember in the first two films – namely the demonic entity first coming to haunt them. The girls’ mom has a boyfriend, Dennis, who begins to film the phenomenon happening in their home. The mom, Julie, has decided not to have any more kids – much to the chagrin of her mother (the girls’ grandmother), Lois. A mysterious symbol drawn on a crawl space ceiling in the girls’ room leads Dennis to a book about a coven of witches in the 1930s who served demons by brain-washing girls of child-bearing age into having sons for the demon to collect, before wiping away the child-bearer’s memory of the event

Likes : not much to say about this film realy,other that the fact ya it scared the living crap out of me for the first hours of the film & that the sister in the first film was pretty hot , the only thing scary about this is i know that these things are real & do happen to unfortunate people who come across these things & it just a shame that they think by using a quig board to contact the ghost will work when all it does is give it power to hurt you,this third wasnt to bad with the camera work made it look real.

Dislikes : Iver got so many faults with this film,one its to slow & the ending serious it just made it unreal,watch the boyfriend on the floor having his back snaped by some unseen force seriously,ive seen better horror films,the other is the picture now you here them say that the picture they had was burned in a fire at there mums house so why was there no mention of a fire in this third one big mistake.

Overall: if you like these short of films your enjoy it but other wise dont waste your time because it was that good.

Gerry Barnaby's Film Review : The Howling Reborn

Genre:  horror , contains strong bloody violence & werewolf horror

Cert: 18 cert

Story : On the eve of his high school graduation, Will Kidman (Liboiron) finally looks up from his books to catch the eye of the girl he’s longed for the last four years –the mysterious Eliana Wynter (Shaw). He’s always been the shy kid, flying under the radar, but when he discovers a dark secret from his past— that he is heir to a powerful line of werewolves -- he finds he has a choice to make between succumbing to his primal nature, or turning against his own, and maintaining his humanity. In order to fight the destiny of his legacy, and save Eliana – as well as himself – he must battle not only his growing blood lust but an army of fearsome beasts bent on killing him, Eliana...and then, us all.

Likes : this film is not to bad,teenage boy dont reliese he's a were wolf until its to late,ive watch the other howling film before this alot better for what it is,it not a bad were wolf film.

Dislikes : its a little slow but it ok,just that were wolf film are good but are done to death.
