Sci fi

When two sisters find a harmless looking object in the woods, they cannot know what to what extent it will change their world – and ours – forever. The small, black sphere – mysterious, seductive, enticing – conveys a message, a deep profound biological message that will reshape our world, recasting relationships with the universe beyond our wildest dreams and worst nightmares. It holds the key to our destiny. It holds the secret to a new kind of life. It holds the embryo of a plan of alien invasion. It is so much more than just The Device.

I am watching The Device. An independent Sci-fi film. On DVD. Mixed reviews on Amazon. Cheaper there too. A young woman has gone to stay with her big sister and her fiance. There mother had recently passed away. At their childhood home a device is found. It has sinister qualities. I questioned the acting. There are so many actors doing theatre, indie films or going for auditions. We only ever hear about the A List celebrities. I am selling this copy on eBay Sept 2015. You might also like The X-Files, Skinwalker Ranch, Dark Skies, The Pheonix Incident, The Fourth Kind, The Outer Limits. The actors are average looking. Nice breasts on the sisters. I'm sure I read something about time travel or apocalypse. Maybe the package was misleading. I am left wondering about the ending. Written by Jeremy Berg. Cert 15, 5036193040177. 2015 Ruthless Pictures Inc. Angela D'Marco, David S Hogan, Kate Alden. Special features are three audio commentaries.

Antonio Banderas stars in this sci-fi action thriller set in the year 2044. After solar flares damaged the Earth and wiped out the majority of the human population those who survived began to use robots, made by the ROC Corporation, to help them rebuild their lives. The robots are programmed to protect human life and are incapable of altering themselves or their fellow machines in any way. However, when police officer Wallace (Dylan McDermott) reports that he shot a robot because it was modifying itself, ROC insurance investigator Jacq Vaucan (Banderas) comes to believe that there could be a 'clocksmith' who is changing the automata's protocol, allowing them to make alterations. As Jacq investigates further he makes an unlikely ally in the form of altered robot Cleo (voice of Melanie Griffith) and comes to realise who the real enemy is... The film also stars Birgitte Hjort Sørensen, Robert Forster and Tim McInnerny.

Sci-fi DVD starring Antonio Banderas. Set in the future. You might like I Robot, The Machine, Humans, Chappie, Robotropolis. An interesting cast. Nice special effects. Melanie Griffiths doesn't look good as she has had some work done. AB plays an Insurance clerk investigating faulty robots. The scene is post apocalyptic. Cert 15, Lionsgate 2014. Fascinating soundtrack. A film by Gabe Ibanez. 5055761904871. Bonus features are included. I am selling this on eBay (sept 2015).

The Anomaly Cert 15, Universal Pictures 2014. 5053083001414. This DVD is on sale myworld.eBay.co.UK/Solitarymaninblack soon. Sci-fi thriller starring Ian Somerhalder, Alexis Knapp, Noel Clarke, Luke Hemsworth, Brian Cox. There was me thinking Ian Somerhalder was the protagonist but it is Noel Clarke. The music is pretty good. A former soldier wakes up in a van. He is with a school boy. He has only 9 mins and 47 seconds of consciousness. You might like Open Grave, Edge Of Tomorrow, Surrogates, Quantum Leap, The One. The woman Dana is attractive. Nice body. Noel is in good shape. The fight scenes, choreographed and interesting cinematography. Good nudity in the brothel. Worth seeing the reviews. Ryan never knows where he is going to end up. Tackles the concept of mind control. Directed and produced by Noel Clarke.

Unfriended

Horror from the makers of The Purge and Ouija. Cert 15. Story sounds familiar. A group of friends are being cyberstalked by an unseen figure. A shaming video led to a teenager to kill herself. Shelley Henning, Moses Storm, Renee Olstead, Will Peltz, Jacob Wysocki, Courtney Halverson, Heather Sossaman. Universal Pictures 2015. 5053083045654 There are no bonuses as this is a rental copy. You might like Chatroom, V/H/S, Cyberbully which starred Maisie Williams. I was hoping to see more of the girl's boobs. Skype/webcam chat. Looking at a computer screen. Some stuff typed which I cannot see. It's the private messaging part. I can't zoom on it so have to get up and get closer to the screen. The protagonist or who the audience is following. There is lots of clicking. I can't make head nor tail of what this person is typing or searching for. Seems a load of nothing. The trailer looked good. Jess is hot. It does begin to pick up. Great acting from the cast. Features swearing, violence and some sexual content. I will be looking at forum discussions. See the Amazon customer reviews.

The Duff

Comedy cert 12, 5030305518899. 2015 Cbs Films Inc. Just saw two good trailers before this feature: The Cobbler and The Big Lie.
You may have seen Mean Girls, She's All That, Easy A, Cruel Intentions, Struck By Lightening, The Breakfast Club, Clueless, Saved By The Bell. Bianca is an outsider. She discovered that she has been labelled a DUFF aka Designated Ugly Fat Friend. She befriends Wesley and is enemies with Madison. Cast Mae Whitman, Robbie Amell, Bella Thorne, Bianca Santos, Alison Janney. Miss Thorne is hot. The trailer looked interesting. There are several special features such as gag reel, behind the scenes. I'm sure this will become a cult hit with teens. Bianca has two hot friends. The artistic blonde Jess and the brunette Casey. Ken Jeong also stars. High School doesn't have to be shallow. Glad I grew up in the UK and not US. A good cast of actors. It seems with these teen movies, the character has to change their appearance in order to be accepted. That is just wrong. It is a satrical look at teen life. Reminds me a little of She's The Man. A mixed bag when it comes to a soundtrack.
 

Joss Whedon's Firefly

I remember watching the Buffy and Angel TV series. There is the Serenity film based on this TV series. You might have seen Marvel Avengers Assemble, Cabin In The Woods, Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Starring Nathan Fillion. This is a boxset cert 12, Fox TV 2002. 5039036016025 Special features include gag reel, behind the scenes, commentary plus more. I shall sell this on eBay. Sci-fi adventure set 500 years in the future. The crew of the Serenity go on various adventures in space. They try to avoid the Alliance and Reavers. I recommend the Rebel Series by Edward Robertson and books by Stephen Baxter. The series kicks off with a battle. Good piece of music. Some comedy as can be expected. There is a wild west theme to it. You might also have enjoyed Red Dwarf. The first disc has two episodes. It goes straight back to the Menu screen. Though it is in widescreen my dvd player has to be set manually. Adam Baldwin had got into some argument with black feminists on Twitter. The Ambassador is an attractive, sensual woman. Good acting and special effects. N Fillion was great in White Noise 2, Serenity, Buffy and Slither. Currently starring in crime drama Castle. Other Sci-fi westerns Cowboys And Aliens, Back To The Future 3, Westworld, Star Wars. I'm going to download the soundtrack. Region 2. It was cancelled but had gained cult status.
