Should Have Waited For DVD Release
My daughter and I love horror so we knew this was a must see for us. I can honestly say that I should have waited for it to be on DVD so I could have saved some money as this movie left me feeling unsatisfied. I got more of a kick in watching people jump out of their seats when they got startled. Maybe I just expected more of this movie than I got? Instead of being scared I found myself laughing.....yes.... I am quite disappointed by this one.

Gary and Tanya smash it out the park again
once once again Gary Chudleigh and his artist of choice Tanya Roberts smash the sci-fi dystopian western genre out of the park.

I love the fact that plagued is a comic I can enjoy with my daughter. We both have very different takes on the story but can agree that we love what we are reading.

Part 1 was very strong but 2 is even stronger leading me to believe we could be in for a hell of a ride in part 3.

Love Plagued

Powerful and emotional!
Determined to build the best football club in the country, Dimitry hires the German coach, Rudolph Spitz, to galvanize his rag tag team but - when the first Nazi tanks roll through the city and Rebecca, the beautiful daughter of a local banker, elopes with his star player, all Dimitry's plans must change.

A fight for freedom and keeping the nationality, a fight for love, a fight for survival - this is a must watch to everyone that has interest in history, or loves romance or football.

Emotional until the very end, powerful in every scene, and surrounded by funny moments throughout.

Pretty standard, but reasonably enjoyable
Standard issue murder and revenge story, which sees Jackie Chan play a dad who sees his daughter blown up in a terrorist attack in London before going after government officials and shady henchmen to try and find the truth.

I was puzzled how a Chinese, London businessman would have been able to pull off all the things that happen in the movie, but that is explained to some extent.

It was nothing ground breaking but worth watching to pass a couple of hours if you just want a bit of action and nothing much else...
