Could you BE any more funny?
This series kept my company through out the 90's and 2000's and still to this day (thank you to Netflix who provides this service).
It is one of those series that will never fail to make you smile, no matter how many times you watch it and no matter if you know all the lines/actions it can still make you smile.
When I was younger I missed some of the more subtle jokes (ah sweet innocence) but watching it back now it has even more jokes than before and moments where I am sure I haven't seen them before!
An obvious favourite character of mine has to be Chandler, that man has made me belly laugh more than any TV character has before or after seeing his antics on tv!
Since watching the TV as a young woman in my 20's I noticed a few issues around homophobia, etc. However, as much as everyone was in a uproar about it a few months back I do not believe it was as bad as some make it out to be and as bad as some shows are now or during that time.
It is a series which can cheer even the grumpiest person up and it almost feels like you're coming home again every time you watch it!
It is definitely a series that will just keep giving no matter how many times you watch it.

Crazy plot
One of the most original horror films in years
I had heard weird and wonderful things about this film, thus expecting something totally different to the norm. You can figure out early on the general feel of the film.... But in the final third it racks up the craziness! Some plot lines did remind me of some other films. The ending could have been drawn out a bit longer as well. I throughly enjoyed it. Good to see Daniel Kayuula in something mainstream, having seen him in some UK TV series in the past. One to watch.

A so-so remake of the cult classic, although this time it is totally different characters and story but with the same idea. So if you have seen the original, if not then why?, you already have a good idea of how it will turn out. This is one of the main problems as it loses any sense of tension of the first film with its setting on a remote island. Despite the low budget TV movie feel, it was still watchable with a young trendy cast. Don't rush to see it but it's not that bad.

Ok for Whodunit fans
I love Murder Mysteries and a fan of Agatha Christie stories. I've not seen a film or Tv adaptation of this cover of the "Hallowe'en Party" story. It's different with the Ghost and spiritual angle on proceedings. A nice setting in a creepy house in Venice. The summing up seemed to come rather abruptly and a couple of things not really that well explained as to how they were worked out. There's not much for viewers to go by to work it out. One for Whodunit fans mainly.

Gore
If you've seen the the movie quarantine this is the better orignal Spanish version which is way better version i thought the American version was okay but I wanted to see this version for a long time.
Manuela velasco plays a tv reporter who is filming a fire crew on call out to an incident at a apartment building when all hell breaks loose. For me Manuela is excellent as the reporter also a real life reporter in real life. The rest of the cast are good the make up so realistic. The movie had me on the edge of my seat thru out the 70 mins runtime. Sometime maybe I should watch the American remake again
