Hi All, I watched 'POD' via (Sky Cinema) last night, another low budget short film that's more psychological Sci-Fi than anything with only six actors, The three siblings (main characters)-A boyfriend (literally a few seconds on screen at the girls house)-A government spook and the alien. All takes place in the same location for the majority of the film when the brother and sister arrive at their brothers cabin... Nothing spectacular rather relying on the acting which if honest was a bit wooden but as with 'Hyena Road' it is what it is either you like it or not, I would say watchable if your into Sci-Fi...
Starring:-Lauren Ashley Carter,Dean Cates,Brian Morvant,Larry Fessenden and John Weselcouch.
Lyla and Ed rush to their family cabin to stage an intervention for their brother. When they arrive he is in an apparent episode of psychosis and claims to have a monster trapped in the basement.

Yes, I thought we needed some variety on here. Though its more of a tear jerker than highbrow. Amazing scenery and very visual. The trailer is misleading I think. And the opening stunt of the 2 young boys on the train would equal Mad Max - well I jumped in my seat. Yes, love National Treasure. About to watch pt 4 now.

Hi All, CG & 4th-National Treasure an excellent Drama series with good acting from all especially Julie Walters and Robbie Coltrane....
Back on track!! I watched Sci-Fi/Drama 'Continuum' via (Sky Cinema) this good little film was released in 'Canada and the USA' as 'I'll Follow You Down' another low budget film with a good cast and good acting considering the story. No fancy effects as that happens at the end (last 30 mins) which I never saw coming at all but I did enjoy it as a watchable film as always up to the viewer to decide....
Starring:-Gillian Anderson,Haley Joel Osment,Rufus Sewell,Victor Garber,John Paul Ruttan,Kiara Glasco and Susanna Fournier.
Married couple Marika (Gillian Anderson, TV’s The Fall) and Gabriel (Rufus Sewell, The Holiday, A Knight’s Tale) spend their lives researching the most controversial and dark corners of physics. Until one day when everything changed… Catching a flight to deliver a lecture set to change the face of modern science, Gabriel mysteriously disappears, leaving Marika and their son Erol, (Academy Award-nominee Haley Joel Osment, The Sixth Sense) confused and alone with no clues or explanation. Years pass by, until a bizarre discovery throws Marika and Erol’s lives into a new dimension as a glimmer of hope that Gabriel is still alive reveals itself. But in order to try and bring him home, they must risk all they think they know about the universe to change the parameters of reality forever. (Above care of :- geeksyndicate.co.uk/reviews/f...iew-continuum/ )

Hi All, Watched classic Hammer films Sci-Fi (X The Unknown) just a nostalgic viewing if you like classic Sci-Fi films, available on BBCi at the moment..
Starring:-Dean Jagger,Leo McKern,Edward Chapman,William Lucas,Peter Hammond,Anthony Newley,Ian MacNaughton,Michael Ripper Michael Brooke,Frazer Hines,Norman Macowan,John Harvey,Edwin Richfield,Jane Aird,Neil Hallett,Kenneth Cope, Jameson Clark,Marianne Brauns and Brown Derby.
During an army training maneuver on the Scottish moors, a fissure in the earth releases something from the depths below which results in the death of one soldier and severely burns another while registering high readings on a Geiger counter. Dr. Adam Royston (Dean Jagger), an American scientist whose field of study is atomic energy, is called in to investigate. What he discovers is a large mass of primordial ooze that feeds on radioactivity and is growing larger and larger from its frequent nightly raids on the surrounding countryside. Royston, in his attempts to stop and contain this deadly creature, finds himself caught up in a bureaucratic power struggle between John Eliott (Edward Chapman), the head of an atomic research center, and Mac McGill (Leo McKern), a representative from the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Commission. When the creature begins to grow in size and threaten more lives in its absorption of energy, Royston with assistance from the army, attempts to destabilize and destroy it in one last desperate ploy, which may or may not work.

I saw this today and think many on here would enjoy it. I loved it. And the sound track too.
This track is the closing music but tells you nothing about the ending.
I've just looked up the writer and director to find out more about them. Writer was also an actor on Sons of Anarchy and the director is Scottish. Don't let that influence you though. I went cos Jeff Bridges is in it and I heard it had good reviews.

Hi All, Taking into account what CG said about the need for variety I watched the biopic 'Steve Jobs' via 'Sky Cinema' turned out a lot better than I thought it was going to be, just a well acted and thought provoking 'Drama' film on the inside of his rise to fame and how he did it.....
Starring:-Michael Fassbender,Kate Winslet,Seth Rogen,Jeff Daniels,Katherine Waterston,Michael Stuhlbarg,Makenzie Moss, Ripley Sobo,Perla Haney Jardine,Sarah Snook,Adam Shapiro and John Ortiz.
With public anticipation running high, Apple Inc. co-founders Steve Jobs (Michael Fassbender) and Steve "Woz" Wozniak get ready to unveil the first Macintosh in 1984. Jobs must also deal with personal issues related to ex-girlfriend Chrisann Brennan and their young daughter Lisa. Eventually fired, Jobs launches NeXT Inc. and prepares to release a new computer model in 1988. Ten years later, Jobs is back at Apple Inc. and about to revolutionize the industry once again with the iMac.

Geoff. "When the creature begins to grow in size and threaten more lives in its absorption of energy," Like a giant plutonium munching winkle? "a fissure in the earth releases something from the depths below" But Westminster overruled local concerns and issued a fracking license. Starring the bloke from Black Beauty,the general from White Christmas,Rumpole of the Baily and Mr Grimsdale.
