Please Make This *The* Final Destination

Advantages: Good premise
Disadvantages: Lack of elaborate deaths, no imaginative plot like others, doesn't live up to the hype

...While at the races, Nick (Bobby Campo) has a shocking premonition about a horrific crash that will happen and in turn will lead to all the other drivers crashing and killing numerous innocent people in the audience. This leads Nick to a state of panic and in this state he mistakenly hits another member of the audience, a scrap entails and security escorts Nick, his girlfriend, two friends and a group of other audience members out of the area. Nick tells them about the impending crash which happens seconds later. Unnerved by the events, Nick wants to forget about what happened and get on with his life however when the survivors begin to die one by one, suspicion is aroused that maybe the subsequent events aren?t just shocking coincidences and are something a bit more sinister? Being a big fan of the Final Destination trilogy I had...

Review of The Final Destination

Destination Death

Advantages: A gorefest, little details that bring the film together
Disadvantages: No story line to get my teeth into, some of the acting was a bit wooden

...although he doesn't know why. When everyone boards the plane Alex has a vision of the plane starting to break up in mid air and then exploding. He panics so much that he has to leave the plane along with five other students and a teacher, with those left behind thinking Alex is a total nutcase who's ruined their holiday. The plane takes off and then **bang**, it hasn't been in the air for two minutes and suddenly there's a fireball where the plane should have been. Obviously this freaks Alex out and when the FBI arrive on the scene they interview him as a possible suspect, although how they could possibly imagine a nerdy looking 17 year old to have the brains and imagination to create such a catastrophe is a bit weird. But then things get worse. The seven people who left the plane start dying off one by one and although he doesn't have any...

Deadly Destination

Advantages: A taut thriller with loads of scares
Disadvantages: The cast are nothing more than adequate

...Taking the horror genre to a whole new premise, Final Destination introduces the villain as Death itself. Devon Sawa stars as Alex, a high school student who is preparing to go to Paris on a field trip with his class. From the opening credits, all the signs point towards something sinister. And as Alex gets on the plane, he finds himself thrust into a mid air explosion. Moments later though, he wakes up and discovers that it was nothing more than a dream. However, convinced it was more like a premonition, he and a handful of students get into a brawl and are thrown off the plane. As they are rounded up in the departure lounge, they watch in horror as his premonition is realised and the plane explodes moments after taking off. The police are instantly convinced that Alex must be part of some conspiracy to blow the plane up, and as...

Destinations

Advantages: A quick read
Disadvantages: Confusing as there were too many characters

...Sheila O'Flanagan is a successful Irish writer, and before writing she had a very successful career in banking. She writes a column for the Irish Times and, prior to writing 'Destinations', she had also written 8 hugely successful novels, including 'Caroline's Sister', 'Isobel's Wedding', and 'He's Got to Go'. Destinations is a novel which revolves around the Dart train system in Ireland. There are 19 chapters in the book, each one has a title with a train station alongside it, such as 'Saturday at 12' - Killiney, or 'Charlie's Dress' - Dalkey. Each chapter revolves around a different character, or characters, such as Greg and Helena - they are the characters of the 'Saturday at Twelve' chapter. Greg has had a fling at his office Christmas party which, inevitably, Helena has found out about and has since thrown Greg out. THey...

Review of Destinations - Sheila O'Flanagan

Destination AWESOME!

Advantages: As good as being there
Disadvantages: No fireworks.

...I was at the 1st night of these concerts so I can give a pretty good opinion of how this varies to the performance given on the night I attended. Essentially what your hearing on this cd is the music that was recorded on the night Mike Mansfield shot his Destination Docklands Video. Track 1 is a short intro version of Revolutions which I don't remember being played on the night itself at all. Track 2 is Industrial Revolutions Overture which was recorded on the 2nd of the 2 nights (I can tell because theres no 2nd set of cheering near the start when they screwed up getting one of the projections back to front then upside down) Track 3 is Industrial Revolutions parts 1-3 and these sound very good, the crowd cheering is mainly reactions to projections & some fireworks, you are hearing the console master version of the music so you won...

Review of Destination Docklands (The London Concert) - Jean Michel Jarre

Destination Moon.

Advantages: A quite good old movie
Disadvantages: not dated well

...Destination Moon. Getting to the moon before the Russians and building a base is the general plot line but the film delivers so much more. Charles Cargraves is a rocket engineer who believes his last rocket was sabotaged so he goes private and soon he has built his second rocket which he gets to the moon. Along the way the saboteurs will try again, he will fight the red tape but will win through. The movie won an Oscar in 1951 for its special effects but somehow that seems to have been forgotten. The science in the movie is actually very accurate apart from the nuclear propulsion, but otherwise it is quite a factual film. We are facts such as the problems of G force, Airlocks, weightlessness nd the Moons gravity being 1/6th that of Earth. The acting is good and it is shot in glorious Technicolor. Classed as...

THE PRIDE OF THE PHILIPPINES

Advantages: Modern facilities and clean environment
Disadvantages: Sometimes chaotic atmosphere due to voluminous arrivals especially during the holiday season

...Formerly Manila International Airport and renamed to NAIA (Ninoy Aquino International Airport) in honor of the Philippine hero in modern times. Located at the southern part of Metro Manila, NAIA serves as the main artery of air travel in the country, that includes the adjacent Manila domestic airport. The hospitality and accommodating attitude of airport personnel never fail to amaze arriving tourists. Even newcomers with no contacts can easily get to their place of destination by seeking assistance from the concierge, also known as Information Counter. Classy dining is one of the cheapest in the world that will surely be appreciated by weary travellers. The new buildings boast of modern facilities, from monitors to clean restrooms, wide aisles and free use of carts. Uniformed porters are friendly and render their services...

Will They Reach Their Final Destination??

Advantages: A good story, A Good young cast, Not the typical Slasher movie
Disadvantages: Kerr Smith, Might not appeal to classic horror fans

...brings Jeffery Reddick?s (Final Destination 2) story to life. He?s written a good story that brings a refreshing touch to the genre, including a few comical moments along the way. It also helps that he has chosen an almost totally unknown cast, which seemed to be the way with a lot of horror films of the time. Of course a few of the actors have gone on to do more since. I feel on the whole that he does get a good response from the cast. In particular Devon Sava is impressive as Alex. He looks right for the part and portrays the paranoia and scared side of the character well. Although I?m not familiar with him in any other films he did enough in this to show he is an actor for the future. It also helps that the chemistry between him and Ali Later really shines through. They seem to have an attraction that you can feel growing the further...

Final Destination? I Hope So.

Advantages: Good CGI, Plenty of gore
Disadvantages: No storyline, Bad acting, No sense of narrative progression

...someone sat in a room talking about death. For me, this method of making this feature more entertaining didn't really work as it is dull and has nothing to do with the film other than that people die in this film and the film is boring, and this is a feature about death and guess what - it's also boring. --Kill Shot: The Making of 'Final Destination 3'-- From watching the making of this film it is clear that a lot of time and effort has gone into this film as regards to the make up etc., however it can also be seen that other than that not a lot was done. In this feature, many of the people say that 'People come to see the Final Destination films to see the deaths' and although this may be true, they didn't have to make a film where the deaths were the only things that they put any sort of time and effort into. It is clear that this is...

Review of Final Destination 3 (DVD)

The Final Final Destination?

Advantages: A fun, fear filled ride
Disadvantages: predictable and no advance in the franchise at all

...Final Destination 3 is an unexpected continuation of the franchise first brought to us by Wong and Morgan (of X-Files fame) back in 1997. The original was a hip, wise cracking blast. A mixture of horror and thriller blended perfectly to make a hugely entertaining film that kept you rooted to the edge of your seat biting your nails. The sequel, which appeared a few years later, eschewed the horror side for vicarious thrills only a scary thriller can bring you, but this time it went more for the comedy thriller genre and as such made FD2 a nice surprise and not what was expected. The question that passed my lips on hearing of the plans for a third outing was which way was the third one going to go? FD3 reverts back to the original in casting by making them predominantly college aged and not the mix of ages from 2. The premise is...
