Tom H’s Film Reviews
866 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tom H.
Primer (2004)
An over–rated arthouse film that tries just a little too hard to be too confusing. Great premise and intrigue, but fails to take you anywhere other than in circles.
Island, The (2005)
Possibly the smartest Bay film around, the Island is a thrilling futuristic story with plenty of things to like about it: from the intrigue, to the irony, to the suspense and action.
Ultraviolet (2006)- Ultraviolet is nowhere near as great as older brother equilibrium, but it does have a unique visual style and some CGI scenes that push the boundaries of live–action/CGI/anime.
Watchmen: The Complete Motion Comic (2008)- A decent animated version of the classic comic. The animations aren't great, but that just means that the original look is preserved. Weakest point is easily the voice acting.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)- For the origins story of one of my favourite Marvel characters, I was expecting far more – Hugh is still here, but it's all just too predictable and unnecessary to care about.
Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within (2001)- Incredible CGI in all respects other than facial animations, Final Fantasy is only a decent sci fi tale, but a landmark graphical achievement.
Lara Croft - Tomb Raider (2001)
Silly and over the top, there is little to like about this wanna–be Indiana Jones flick other than some decent effects and Angelina.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)- Gyllenhaal is the charming rogue of a prince based on the videogame of the same name (but providing far more background and twists than were necessary for the game), with plenty of CGI, and a romantic side–story.
Box, The (2009)- Simply told, and will definitely give you some chills, but with a premise that fails to keep up for the entirety of the film. This would have been a stunning supernatural tale to a 1970s audience (which is when the film is set).
Da Ali G Show (TV Series) (Ali G, Innit; Ali G, Aiii; Ali G in da USAiii) (2000-2004)
- A hilarious TV series that was unlike anything else at the time: fresh (aaii), funny (aaiii), and topical (respect man).
- DVD $19.95, $19.95
