Advantages: A fantastic way to watch a true classic Disadvantages: Only one extra, would have been nice to see more
Night of the Living Dead is the daddy of all zombie movies. Yes there may have been films that featured zombies before this but none came close to creating the same world that George A. Romero managed to. A film that manages to truly define the genre and has been imitated ever since.
Now for many years you've probably seen countless releases of NOTLD on every format. And apart from the Elite LD and DVD release, many of them have been sub-par being sourced from old video masters and sometimes even missing footage (for example the DVD release by Contender). So thankfully Optimum has decided that this classic film is worthy of a proper blu-ray edition.
For a low budget, black and white film from the Sixties, this transfer is fantastic. It's very similar to the old Elite DVD but with more detail and better contrast. There is a lot ...
Advantages: Story okay for kids, humour brilliant for adults Disadvantages: Okay so the plot's weak.. .but who cares?!?!?
I saw Thunderbirds without very high expectations - it looked like a cheesy kids adventure with no real surprises in store. Still, I was interested to see what they did with the concept of Gerry Anderson's vintage puppet show.
Taste the cheese. The cheese is goooooooooooood.
I wasn't born when the puppets of International Rescue first started strutting their heroic stuff no TV, and by the time I became fashionable again, I was too old to want to watch it. I have seen one or two episodes, but I'm not what you'd call a fan. With cartoons and the like being made into films with varying degrees of success, how would the puppets fare?
For anyone who knows little or nothing about the original series, it's about a retired astronaut (Jeff Tracy) and his five sons. They operate out of a secret island base (Tracy Island) as ...

Advantages: Good fun, entertaining, well realised Disadvantages: Weak plot
Island and takes it over. While most of the Tracy family are stranded in space, The Hood intends to use the Thunderbirds to rob banks, including the interestingly named ?Bank of London?. But he hadn?t counted on Alan, Fermat and Tintin still being at loose on the Island?
So, no Oscars there for storyline, but it really doesn?t matter too much, when you can get lost in the film anyway. The sight of the Thunderbirds landing in London gave me a kind of childhood thrill, much as seeing the Cybermen marching through London did in Doctor Who.
Compared to the brilliance of Harry Potter 3, which I saw afterwards, Thunderbirds comes off badly, but as a piece of entertaining escapism, it?s a triumph. Sit back and enjoy it. I will definitely be buying the DVD, when it is released.
Long live nostalgia! ...
