10,000 BC [2008]

starring: Steven Strait, Camilla Belle, Cliff Curtis, Joel Virgel, Ben Barga
directed by: Roland Emmerich

Release Date July 21, 2008
I have to be honest, I was really dreading this film after some of the reviews I have read. My opinion is that OK, this film had a fairly flimsy story with no real depth, but as a fantasy adventure film it did an OK job. Granted it will never be a classic, but the effects were quite good, fairytale story... little people v big bad guys..... so all in all, probably never watch it again, but it was a alright Sunday afternoon no brainer of a movie.

Independence Day [1996]

starring: Will Smith, Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, Mary McDonnell, Judd Hirsch
directed by: Roland Emmerich

Release Date May 17, 2004
I'm almost embarrassed that I thought it was good when I was a kid. Because I was too young to understand the bad points and let's face it, we don't have high demands of quality when we are young. I thought power rangers had good acting then... riiight moving swiftly on.

Anyway I watched it again a year or so ago when it was on TV and realised just how innocent I must have been.

Not only is this film crap, but its pro American theme that is used to carry the story really made me cringe... HARD.

Its like a serious version of Team America. I'm sure the point of this was to have Americans coming out of the "Movie Theatre" (Cinema to you and I) jumping up and down with their lassoes screaming YEAH!!! YEAH!!!. ... Read More:

Why do Amazon keep sending out US Imports that will not load. I have tried a number of copies hoping they would solve the problem. The last copy again would not load even tried a Sony shop to see if it was my system that was wrong......

The Day After Tomorrow - Single Disc Edition [2004]

starring: Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal, Emmy Rossum, Dash Mihok, Jay O. Sanders
directed by: Roland Emmerich

Release Date October 18, 2004
I really wanted to like this film as it was an attempt to get the global warming message across to a lot of people. Unfortunately it was a bad attempt. The change in climate and its consequences happen so fast that no one will take this seriously as a possible scenario and the way that it is dealt with is idiotic. Apparently all humans are stupid, even the supposed stars of the film. In a library full of wooden furniture, they burn books - paper - to keep warm. Almost no one has the sense to stay indoors in their own home during a storm (which only lasts 6 or 7 days, so most homes would easily have the supplies). And they really missed a trick with the zoo animals in New York: the film has the consequence of global warming for animals being summed up by the ... Read More:

The Patriot [2000]

starring: Mel Gibson, Rene Auberjonois, Joely Richardson, Heath Ledger, Jason Isaacs
directed by: Roland Emmerich

Release Date April 17, 2006
...Wherein a German filmmaker by the name of Roland Emerich makes a film where evil British Redcoats commit a vile atrocity against American freedom fighters... an atrocity that in reality was perpetrated by German troops against French villagers in WWII. Nice one Roland. What are you going to do next - make a film where the British gas 12 million people in Auschwitz before the plucky German freedom fighters come to the rescue?

Stargate [Blu-ray] [1994]

starring: Kurt Russell, Djimon Hounsou, James Spader, Jaye Davidson, Viveca Lindfors
directed by: Roland Emmerich

Release Date August 04, 2008
This 1993 film is one of the few films not made in Hi-def to make the grade by being transferred onto Blu-Ray. Colours glow as does the overall detail of the sets and costums. The sound track in DTS HD is excellent.

If only all transfers were up to this standard.

directed by: Roland Emmerich

Release Date August 04, 2008
Back in ancient Giza a large circular artefact is buried under some capstones. Later in the 1920s an archaeological dig uncovers the 'stone' ring and various items of jewellery all dedicated to the Egyptian sun god Ra. Then in the 1990s, Dr Daniel Jackson, a radical Egyptologist who is widely disbelieved by the academic community is co-opted into a project run by the USAF, a project researching the large ring. Jackson with his differing interpretation of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs rapidly solves the problem of the ring showing it to be a transportation device, a Stargate. Together with a USAF commando team lead by the recently returned from retirement Colonel Jack O'Neill, Jackson and co. head through the Stargate to another world; a world populated by 'Egyptians' and ...
