Advantages: Seagal is surprisingly good. Disadvantages: An "Eco-Thriller"?!
Surely with all this "Save the Planet" fixation in the media these days, it wouldn't be so criminal (as it seemed it once was) to watch Steven Seagal's 1997 "Eco-Thriller". Despite its reputation, Fire Down Below really isn't that bad a film.
Seagal is Jack Taggart, an agent of the Environmental Protection Agency. Kris Kristofferson soon becomes the target as the crooked businessman, who has been using abandoned mines to dump toxic waste. Getting to him requires Seagal to arse-whip a host of dirty yokels, and then deliver an ecological message in the church to let everyone know that pissing with the environment is an absolute no-no.
OK, so it may not sound like the most exciting synopsis ever, but at least Seagal shows a genuine affection for the issues that many of us choose to ignore. Surprisingly, he comes across as a nice guy ...
Advantages: Reasonable price Disadvantages: freezes, glitches, crashes, noisey, overheats, poor choice of games
not into sports games at all, and I can't play 1st person games as they give me motion sickness. The genre of games we enjoy are rpg's, adventure, horror, family- so our choice for first Xbox 360 game was dead rising- a zombie horror game. Couldn't play it, the text was so very tiny- most of it was impossible to read- we spoke with several experts and finally found out there was actually a problem with it, a lot of the games were being returned- as you needed to read the text to play the game to its full extent, we returned ours and got oblivion the elder scrolls- an rpg game.
All appeared to be fantastic- especially on our new HD TV, however it wasn't even 14 days before the console crashed- several times- it would freeze up, or we'd load a game save and be in mid air- in an area of the game that the character wasn't meant to be in ...
Advantages: Great dogs, great scenery, entertaining Disadvantages: Acting and dialogue aren't that strong
Eight Below is a Disney action film, released in 2006, which tells the story of a group of huskies who are left to fend for themselves through the harsh Antarctic winter and their handler who is fighting to be able to return to collect them. It is 'inspired' by a true story and is a remake of a Japanese film. I first went to see this at the cinema with my eldest and we got the DVD at Christmas. It got mixed reviews at the time, but it's very popular in our house.
The first almost half of the film introduces us to the huskies and their handler, Jerry, as they take a visiting scientist on a hazardous journey to find evidence of a rare meteorite. The trip introduces us to the beauty and the dangers of this part of the world and to the bravery and obedience of the dogs who evidently love their work and unquestioningly get the visiting ...
