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.

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.

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.

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.
