Review: Jekyll: Episode 1
"A modern day take on the classic tale of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde."Click to read review - may contain spoilers
Whenever attempting to modernise a classic you always run the risk of destroying it. Somethings just don't translate to the modern day. But Jekyll is breaking the rules and doing it without a problem.
We're introduced to Tom as he straps himself in preparing to change into Hyde. The show delivers on its promise and everything is played out perfectly. Nothing is unbelievable, the acting and casting is brilliant. Extra points to James Nesbitt who plays both Jekyll & Hyde amazingly. As they are both two entirely different characters.
A great start to what I can tell is going to be something we won't soon forget.
Review: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Comic: The Long Way Home, Part II
Labels: buffy the vampire slayer, comic book, review
"With 7 Seasons of getting to know the characters, they just jump off the pages."Click to read review - may contain spoilers
I've never really been exposed to Comics before and I must say I'm converted. With the characters clearing set in your mind from the Television series. Its quite easy to pick up where season seven left off. The beauty of the comic series is that Joss can take things where he couldn't before. There really isn't any limits as there was on the television series.
In this issue we see Amy reintroduced as a villain and employed by the government to take out Buffy. There is a great Joss moment where it appears Buffy & Xander are going to get their freak on.
It's amazing that Joss's style can easily translate to any medium. He really isn't restricted by words and pictures on a page. He's work still rings through as if you were watching it on television. I look forward to the next instalment.
Review: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Comic: The Long Way Home, Part I
"Buffy is back in a new medium, which is less restrictive and Joss is taking full advantage of."Click to read review - may contain spoilers
Buffy is back and in the form of a Comic. I'm reasonably new to the comic front but happy to see Buffy still kicking arse and with Joss behind the wheel its great to see his creation live on within his control.
The comic picks up soon after the ending of Season 7 of our television finale. With most of the gang present and evil still alive and kicking. The comic is beautifully illustrated and is written in only a way that Joss can.
The only downfall is that the instalment is too be, but its been a long time since my last Buffy fix. But the story is already forming nicely and so many possibilities for twisting things along the way in true Joss style.
Summary: Sinchronicity: Season 1
"An excellent story told in a unique way."Click to read review - may contain spoilers
Sinchronicity has to be one of my favourite shows of 2006. Through a great mix of drama, comedy and storytelling we're introduced to the world of three characters and their complicated lives. We can all relate to the idea of how one moment can have a great effect on our lives there after and at its core Nathan shows how one moment changed his life forever.
I enjoyed Sinchronicity from start to finish and in summary its a show that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a good story with a few twists and a lot of laughs.
We're further introduced to Tom's life and his condition which is continually changing. Tom even calls on Hyde at will to do what he can't. More plot twists make this another great episode. It is clear that the writing has been well thought through. We are obvious that we're watching a masterpiece unfold.
There is nothing I can fault about this show. Well written, great acting, clever plot twists all keep you on the edge of your chair the entire time.
I'm enjoying this roller-coaster and what do they have in store for us next?
