The Uncanny (1977)
8/10
Very Entertaining
7 May 2004
Although quite amusing in parts due to the bad special effects this film was still very entertaining (in a good way) and I actually enjoyed the second story the most.

Was a shame that Peter Cushing didn't have larger role.

Interesting to see themes of witchcraft/magic being brought into a film about evil cats, although the blood did look very fake, as did the scene with the older girl fighting the cat.

Definately a good film for cat lovers! Why they never made an The Uncanny 2 is a mystery...

Rating: 8/10.

Galaxy Quest (1999)
6/10
Better than you would expect
27 December 2003
Wasn't expecting this film to be all that good from the trailer, but it was suprisingly funny and the performances were very entertaining, esp Rickman's character. I did think that the first half hour was the best part and that the film did drag a little once the whole crew went into space but that was only because most of the situations they found themselves in were overtly familiar from other films, but in a way you can't really fault them for this as it was intentionally done. All in all one of the best sci-fi spoofs I have seen, although its not like I've seen many!

good, but could have been better.
26 December 2003
I did enjoy watching this but couldnt help but feel that it was something of a missed opportunity, perhaps if Tim Burton had been directing it could have been better. Jim Carrey's performance as the Grinch was amazing, perhaps one of the best performances i've seen him do, however the scenes without the grinch did tend to be quite disappointing, esp those where sindy sang *cringes*
