Rockford Files

Advantages: good stories, good memories
Disadvantages: may be dated for some

...get this stwait" line was going to come up at some point, and that he had the puzzle solving mind of a mensa genius, he would also always get his man (or woman). And so it was the same with the Rockford Files, we always new that he would eventually get his criminal and that he will be back in the next show with more witty one liners. The good thing about the Rockford Files is that the main Character was "human" in that he didn't win every single fight; he wasn't a goody two shoes, sometimes even getting involved in the villain's plans. In other words he was flawed, almost an anti-hero in some cases although ultimately his heart was in the right place and he was charming with it, we certainly warmed to him and wished him the best every time. Other characters that make the show are Sergeant (later lieutenant) Dennis Becker (Joe Santos...

Review of The Rockford Files - Series 2 (Box Set) (DVD)

The Wolverine Files - A comprehensive & visually impressive book

Advantages: Well presented and packed with information, facts and great original artwork.
Disadvantages: Can't really find any faults with this book !

...In 1974 the character "Wolverine" made his debut into the Marvel Universe on the last page of Hulk #180 ... and these days Wolverine has become a well loved character. Over the years he became a regular and popular member of the X-Men line up and with a vast number of his own comics and graphic novels the character's popularity quickly grew. This year saw the first Wolverine movie hit the silver screen ... and with a sequel already planned it would appear that Wolverine will be around for many more years to come. The Wolverine Files is a fantastic book which presents the complete story of Wolverine. With an impressive hardback slipcase (with Wolverine's trademark claw marks cutting through it) this book is presented as a series of files assembled by intelligence officers at Marvel's "Supreme Headquarters International...

Review of The Wolverine Files - Mike W. Barr

Mystery Case Files Millionheir.........

Advantages: Good gameplay, good storyline
Disadvantages: Puzzles can get a bit annoying when you cant find something and you have used all your hints

...Mystery Case Files: Millionheir is a game that I would recommend quite highly. You are a detective and you are set missions in which you have to find items amongst a whole load of others...a bit like wheres wally but not with wallys lol!! Mr Phill T Rich disappears from his mansion and is presumed dead, you have to look for the rightful heir to his fortune. I do not recommend playing this game if you have an headache though because it just doesn't help lol... You have to find special items as you progress through the levels in order to get to the next, for example you will need the flashlight to look in the rooms when the lightbulb blows but then for the next part you may need to back and find batteries for your flashlight as they do tend to run out! You will also be given an x-ray scanner to let you look through things to...

Review of Mystery Case Files MillionHeir

Car chases, fisty-cuffs, flashy cars, skin-tight trousers...

Advantages: funny, entertaining, witty, great music, great acting from James Garner
Disadvantages: Sound is mono, but to be expected!

...The Rockford Files is a classic comedy drama TV series from the 1970's, set in the United States, and starring the terrific James Garner as Jim Rockford, a witty, charming, wise-cracking, ex-con (for a crime he didn't commit), turned PI. There were about six series in all, and a few movies too. The series is set in Malibu, where Rockford lives in a mobile home on the beach (can't be bad!). Each episde begins with the camera panning across Rockford's desk, and we hear the familiar sound of his telephone, followed by a humourous answerphone message which is different in each episode. Then comes the fabulous theme tune, and the show begins! Usually Jim is being asked to help someone out of trouble, which tends to land him in trouble himself! Alongside Jim, regulars in the show are his father Rocky, Beth, Angel, and Dennis, a cop who...

Review of The Rockford Files - Series 1-4 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

The X-Files .. what X-File?!?

Advantages: Good crime thriller, plenty of suspense!
Disadvantages: Not really an X-File film, poor ending!

...The X-Files: I Want to Believe is the second movie to be created following the hit tv show The X-Files, made famous back in the 90's. The movie was released this year, and is directed by Chris Carter, who also directed and produced the original series. The movie stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, and also sees Billy Connolly, Amanda Peet and rap & tv-star Exzibit appear. When an FBI agent goes missing, the only leads the FBI have come from a disgraced priest, Father Joseph Grissman (Billy Connolly), trying to redeem himself from his sinful past, who claims to have psychic visions of the occurrence. Baffled, and with no other leads to go on, the FBI turn to ex-agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson). Mulder, who is wanted by the FBI on other charges, agrees to help when all charges against him are...

Review of X-Files - I Want To Believe (DVD)

Files away hard skin with ease!

Advantages: Miracle worker
Disadvantages: None

...Before a visit into Boots, I was recommended the use of a foot file to cure my cracked and dry heals. The thought of filing my foot filled me with pain and I was reluctant to try it. However, after being advised by a representative at Boots that a foot file, along with a heal balm, would be good for my feet, I took the plunge. I would advise that you use this file when your feet are dry to begin with because I can imagine that filing wet feet when you are not used to its effect may lead to very painful feet! Anyway, after just 1 week of filing once a day and covering my feet in foot balm, my feet are hugely improved and I am very happy with the result! I would recommend that once you file your hard skin down to a manageable level that you downgrade your file to something like a pumice stone which would be more careful on the feet....

Review of Boots Advanced Footcare Professional File

X files or pass me a file

Advantages: Brings back much loved characters like skinner, scene views were good in the outback
Disadvantages: poor acting, contradictory storyline, unbelievable relationships

...This is a film (they're second to date) based on the very popular X Files series that was on during the 1990's. This series had an amazing series of investigations into the paranormal by two FBI special agents. The skeptic Special Agent Dana Skulley (Gillian Anderson) and the believer Special Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny). (Interesting fact here it the other way round in real life Gillian Anderson is the Believer). The story starts as a FBI agent goes missing, this escalates as several others go missing. A discgraced priest played by Billy Connolly leads them to an arm, who claims he has psychic visions. Mulder and Skulley are brough back into the loop by Amanda Peets FBI Agent, who looked through they're old files, which were rubbished by the FBI and Mulder was exiled while Skulley became a doctor in a Church hospital, which is...

The X Files - Season 3 on DVD

Advantages: Various clips on foreign languages.. behind the scenes... endless features..
Disadvantages: Box can damage easily

...Collectors Edition Series 3 DVD Boxset - Thanks Mum! This has got to be one of my more appreciated Christmas presents this year. (Oh, apart from the fasionable Grandad slippers and endless supply of shower gel etc etc...) Now, I'm not going to start explaining what the X Files are, as I'm sure you all know. When, somewhere back in 2000 I bought the first boxset, I asked when the next one would be released, and was told that they have no intentions of releasing any further boxsets, but here I sit with the third one. This boxset is an absolute must for any true fans of the show, as it includes every single episode from the third season of the X Files. The price certianly does vary, as I have seen it sell for as much as £89.99 in the over-prices music store, but also have seen it prices as little as £65.99 in my preferred local...

Review of SKY/RTE/BBC - The X-Files

A Bluffers' Guide To The X-Files

Advantages: Imaginative, engaging, brilliant mythology plot.
Disadvantages: Film wasn't great and the TV show losing its' spark in general.

...When ‘The X-Files’ began in 1993, it was critically and publicly acclaimed as being one of the most original and well-written series on television. The paranormal investigations of F.B.I. Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully captivated imaginations worldwide. Now in its’ seventh season in America, the show has declined little in quality, but greatly in popularity. The first season of ‘The X-Files’ was comprised of individual, stand-alone episodes with plots and storylines separate from each. This began to change with episode 20, ‘Tooms (Squeeze 2)’ which followed up a story begun earlier in the year. After this, the writers began to sow the seeds of a larger storyline concerning alien abduction, government conspiracy, and Armageddon. The concluding episode of the season, ‘The...

Review of BBC2 - X Files

X Files Season 1 box set DVD.

Advantages: Every episode of the first series, great extras
Disadvantages: Picture sometimes gets dodgy

...The X-files season 1 DVD box set comes with seven disks, there are 24 episodes with each of six disks containing four, and the final seventh disk is left for the extras. The whole package comes in a cardboard box; with an outer sleeve that holds the inside box that fold out to hold all seven disks. One side of the fold out holds the disks and a booklet while the other side is decorated with stills and quotes from the series. While the box is extremely stylish and cool it WILL get damaged and torn through time and is already starting to show the effects of living on my active DVD shelves. The booklet also holds quotes and information about each episode in this series, like who wrote each one and directed it. At the back of the booklet it then lists each episode from each series in order highlighting the ones that were released on special...
