Rahtree: Flower of the Night: Mark's Take
06/12/2004. This ghost story goes in eight different directions at once, from tragic social message to slapstick comedy. Some scenes are chilling, but the film is unfocused.

01/01/2005. DVD: Carlton Visual Entertainment 37115 03033. 26 episodes/1250 minutes with little extras. Price: around £69.99 (UK) although I got it for about £29.00 so look around for the best price. Stars: Mike Pratt, Kenneth Cope and Annette Andre.
 Randall And Hopkirk (Deceased) - The Complete Series Special Edition (PG)
01/07/2007. (Region 2 DVD. pub: Network 7952437. 7 DVDs 1300 minutes 26 episodes and loads of extras. Price £59.99 (UK) stars: Mike Pratt, Kenneth Cope and Annette Andre with a multitude of guest stars.
 Ratatouille (Mark's take)
01/09/2007. Ratatouille has an engaging enough premise, finds Mark, but does not really have a good story to tell. The first third of the film is much more engaging than the remainder. The furry rat who is the main character is expressive and winning, but the human characters do not give him much support and the story pulls in too many directions.
Reign of Fire
01/09/2002. Flipping fire flaming dragons! Mark finds a movie idea that could have been, well, so intriguing, but instead was mishandled, avoiding showing the most interesting scenes of the story.
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (Frank's Take)
02/11/2004. Director Alexander Witt takes over this elaborate gory gaming gimmick by ushering out the second installment Resident Evil: Apocalypse. The labored formula remains the same regarding a curvy and calisthenics cretin-kicking cutie leading the charge in eliminating some serious zombie butt.
 Resident Evil: Extinction (Frank's take)
01/11/2007. Well, muses Frank, the Resident Evil movie series finally reached its trilogy status. This is not exactly something worth notifying the American Film Institute about anytime soon. No doubt the action-packed adventures of Milla Jovovich's curvaceous cutthroat zombie-zapping eliminator has its ardent following. Otherwise, there wouldn't be the existence of Russell Mulcahy's sci-fi snoozer Resident Evil: Extinction, a ludicrous and over-extended action-adventure that feasts on its boisterous banality.
 Robocop: The Prime Directives
01/12/2006. DVD Region 2: pub: Prism Leisure PPA 1225. 2 double-sided DVDs. 4 * 90 minute films. 360 minutes. Price: £ 3.97(UK) - really cheap price). stars: Page Fletcher, Maurice Dean Wint, Gerant Wyn Davies, Maria Del Mar and Anthony Lemke.
Robot Stories
01/04/2004. Mark finds a film of five Twilight Zone-ish stories involving robots in some way. They are simple stories - most with a strong insightful element. All but one really says more about humanity than about droids.
 Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles
01/12/2007. region 2 DVD. Revelation Films B000QEIQ5Q. 88 minutes 1 DVD. Price: £19.99 (UK).
 Robots: Frank's Take
01/05/2005. Robots are a mechanical mishap, says Frank. Sure, it’s grounded in animated family fun and some tykes will take to it with a sugar-coated natural high. However, adults will be indifferent by its familiar recycled slapstick themes. Although cutesy in its clang-inducing content, Robots lumbers on unlike the well-oiled machine it thinks it is in concept.
Robots: Mark's Take
01/04/2005. The same team that made ICE AGE tries again to succeed in the CGI-animation film. But ROBOTS lacks all the magic of ICE AGE. The film is entertaining but it is definitely second-rate as current animated features go. It has some good ideas, but overall it tanks.
