In “Seven Pounds”, Will Smith stars as Ben Thomas, a mysterious IRS investigator with a tragic past. He is a lonely man, coming to terms with the death of a wife he truly adored. On the face of it, Ben is following up on a list of people who have defaulted on their tax payments, but his actions have a subtext; he appears to be seeking out those with special needs, be they financial or medical. Whilst he weighs up their financial statuses, he also plies them with questions that reveal what kind of people they are, and whether they deserve to be the beneficiaries of whatever gifts he might be offering. As the film progresses it gradually becomes clear that there is much more to Ben than meets the eye, culminating in a twist worthy of M Night Shyamalan’s better films. |

An envoy from the Vatican’s Iscariot Division is invited to a Roundtable conference chaired by the Hellsing Organisation and Her Majesty, the Queen of England. Major Max Montana, Millennium's Leader, uses this opportunity to send Alucard and the Hellsing Organisation a declaration of war. Millennium capture the aircraft carrier HMS Eagle, flagship of the Royal Navy, and invite the British Empire to retake her if they can; or, as my fellow ice hockey fans would say, "Come ‘n’ have a go if you think you're hard enough!". I’m pretty certain that in making Hellsing Ultimate people have deliberately set out to make each volume contain more blood and gore than the previous one; in fact they ‘up’ the content to such an extent that I’m not surprised that this time round the people at the BBFC have given it an 18 certificate from the start. |

There are supernatural forces at work in Demons, a six-part series recently seen on ITV1, amongst much fanfare, which is now available on DVD and Blu-Ray from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The news release advises that “Demons puts a contemporary spin on Bram Stoker’s legendary story, taking place above and beneath the streets of modern-day London. Philip Glenister (cult legend Gene Hunt in Life On Mars and Ashes to Ashes) is Rupert Galvin, a larger-than-life American with a tragic past and a ‘zero tolerance’ policy to the rabble of ‘half-life’ entities that exist all around us. When he appears in the life of Luke Rutherford, his teenage godson (Christian Cooke, Brae Marrack in Echo Beach), little does the teenager know what will be thrust upon him.” |

The central theme of the movie “The Obama Deception” is that the new President of the USA is a carefully crafted puppet, controlled by the highest levels of his administration, taking their orders from a shadowy, elitist international cabal known as the Bilderberg Group. Their goal is the creation of a ‘New World Order’, this week mentioned on the front pages of newspapers such as The Mail and The Telegraph here in the UK. The intention of installing a one-world government could have seen this movie dismissed as just a conspiracy ‘theory’ from a bunch of crackpots – unfortunately events are moving so quickly now that the general public can see that ‘theory’ is fact . This documentary demonstrates that those behind Obama want to mislead the American people, and indeed the world, into accepting global slavery as the answer to the global economic collapse. |

Am I the only person on the planet who until yesterday has not seen Midsomer Murders? Where have I been? At least I have not been in Midsomer, as no one is safe there. Midsomer is an area with many small villages where the residents seem to have murder in mind all the time. Perhaps the series has now finished after over a decade of murder and intrigue because everyone has either been murdered or arrested. Only the pilot episode “The Killings at Badger’s Drift”, which aired on 23 March 1997, was available for review but it certainly kept us glued to the screen. We are introduced to DCI Thomas Barnaby (John Nettles-Bergerac) and his rather dim witted sergeant Gavin Troy (Daniel Casey) as they piece together the events that lead up to the murder of Emily Simpson, an elderly resident of the village of Badger’s Drift. Barnaby is a very calm and collected character. |
