| Posted: 03 Jul 2010 09:28 PM PDT  The Descent was one of the best and most original horror films of recent years. Superbly written and directed by Neil Marshall after his success with werewolf-fest Dog Soldiers, it took a group of female spelunkers into some caves and pitted them against each other, as well as an army of underground monsters.The film was notable for its ending which, depending on which version you saw, allowed the main female protagonist to escape, or otherwise. Now we have 'Part Two', which is another way of saying that we're returning to the same well (or cave) for more underground shennanigans with monsters. This time Neil Marshall has had little to do with it - despite the Exec Producer credit - and it is all but a retread of the first film. The lone survivor has been taken to hospital where she is asked about her friends by a couple of police officers. Rescue workers have found an abandoned mineshaft down into the caves, and so they decide to take the silent, traumatised girl with them! This is really a leap to far. There is no way that anyone would allow her to undergo this in her condition, but assuming we accept that, the two police officers and a handful of caving experts descend into the darkness once more in order to find the other girls. Of course they get lost, trapped by a rockfall and are once again prey to the bat-like human nightcrawlers which live down there. The film succeeds despite itself but only because the premise of the original is strong enough to take a remake. One by one the humans are slaughtered again, and have to crawl through horrifically tight spaces and underground rivers to survive. Once again the girls are pitted against each other. Once again the crawlers attack and are beaten off. Once again you have to stay silent to survive. If you are claustrophobic, then you won't like this film any more than the first one - it's nightmarish from that angle. But there are plenty of shock moments, gore as the crawlers are despatched, and surprises along the way. It's not quite as good as the original, but it's not a bad sequel as sequels go. It's main failing is that it really doesn't try and do anything new with the material.   | ||
| Posted: 03 Jul 2010 08:16 PM PDT They say that there are some things that you shouldn't know. Leave it where it belongs- in the past, that's another popular expression. All of these can, to an extent, apply to this months Lost Stories range, The Macros.
Let's be clear here, there are some great moments in this play, when the Doctor and Peri first arrive on the abandoned, rotten ship a great sense of loneliness and paranoia that are evoked by the subtle yet chilling incidental music. The Sixth Doctor and Peri's relationship in these Lost Stories is an interim between how they were together on television and how they are in the regular Big Finish audios, which is a bit tricky to get into when we've had them get on so well in earlier Big Finish plays. Old sixy is less gruff with Peri and has a strong and clear loyalty to her but in turn still appears to have a small lack of respect for her. The Macros is a script that was created for an era of Doctor Who that wasn't that successful but with tweaks and polishes here and there, Big Finish have made a steady play that wouldn't have transposed on a television screen at all well. Certain elements of The Macros could never have been achieved in Doctor Who in the 1980's-the massive ship and the other dimension would have ended up becoming a production nightmare and so it's plain to see why this script never saw the light of day on our screens. So, what it really comes down to is-are you missing a treat by not listening to The Macros or just saving yourself some money to buy another Big Finish Doctor Who play? Only you can decide that, but if you want to listen to a bold, refreshing and entertaining Doctor Who play, then The Macros – with its very traditional 1980s Doctor Who elements – isn't for you. Overall, The Macros plays out well but has a little of its 1980's hangover to deal with.  | ||

| Doctor Who – The Adventure Games: Blood of the Cybermen Posted: 03 Jul 2010 07:15 AM PDT Crikey. I've got such litany of gripes about this game, I guess I should do the decent thing and spend a little time telling you about the good stuff. Don't worry it won't take long… It's pleasing to note that while many involved with this game will end up with egg on their faces, Matt Smith and Karen Gillan remain unblemished by uncooked omelette. The voice acting in the game is one of the highlights, along with the music. Had the script been considerably better, then the game could have conceivably worked well as an audio play. But the script… no, wait! I haven't quite finished with the positives yet. It looks pretty good. The character modelling, the environments and the weather effects all look pretty cool, and visually speaking, we're constantly reassured that we're in the Doctor Who universe. Right, that's it, I can start a proper rant now. But one small caveat – I'll put my hand up and confess that the laptop I was playing the game on really wasn't up the job. It's not particularly ancient, it's got plenty of RAM and a decent enough processor – but it doesn't quite match up to the minimum spec that the game demands. Mind you, I've played plenty of games with larger and more complex 3D environments with no problem. Here, however, the game judders about, the cut-scenes have poor syncing with the soundtrack, and some relatively simple puzzles are rendered stupidly difficult because of the terrible frame rate. After an hour's play, I was tempted to try frying an egg on the shiny surface of the laptop. What is it with eggs today? Legal disclaimer: do not attempt to cook food on your computer equipment. In all seriousness though, I don't understand what the game is doing that requires so much processing power, and I can only conclude that the game engine has been designed without any consideration given to efficiency. This is a shame because I can see hundreds of kids up and down the country cursing their otherwise perfectly good computers. Given the very young section of the fan base that these games are likely to most appeal to, I hope that this problem will be resolved in future versions of the game. Now, back to that script. Did Phil Ford only remember about the script at the last minute? Did he dredge out a scribbled-on fag packet out of the bin in desperation? Here we find stilted, forced dialogue littered with unfunny 'jokes' such as Amy talking about igloos with central heating, or saying she was looking forward to a 'nice stroll'. In a repetition of Dreamland (which Ford also wrote), it's apparently impossible to mention ventilation ducts without referencing Die Hard. Contrary to popular belief, references to popular culture in scripts doesn't always equal cool and postmodern.  |
A unique Doctor Who event takes place later this month at The Lass O'Gowrie pub in Manchester – one that dedicated fans of the how should not miss!
Doctor Who: The Adventure Games' second episode features the Doctor and Amy encountering Cybermen in Antarctica – not to mention Cybermats, last seen in 1975's Revenge of the Cybermen…
The latest season of the new Eighth Doctor adventures kicks off this month with Situation Vacant by Eddie Robson, in which the now solitary Doctor auditions four would-be companions…
A Sixth Doctor and Peri adventure co-written by Ingrid Pitt (who starred in 1972's The Time Monster and 1983's Warriors of the Deep) and her partner Tony Rudlin, The Macros unfold as the TARDIS team arrive on the famous Philadelphia Experiment boat the USS Eldridge. Events start to cross into another universe and that's when things get a bit, well, bland.
