Another almost-obsolete format, DVDs – like CDs – are cheaper than ever in charity shops. One pound or 50p for two hours of entertainment represents amazing value for money. Here are my brief reviews of some of the films I saw...
Fantastic 4 (2005)
Ludicrous Marvel film, which I found – still shrinkwrapped – on a bench in West Finchley. Plot: five people are exposed to mysterious cosmic rays while in space and are granted special powers. One of them becomes a baddie. The other four – the fantastic four – team up to use their powers for good. These powers are: 1. stretchy limbs, 2. strength, 3. fire/flying, and 4. invisibility. It’s shallow and forgettable. It wants to be funny and exciting but isn’t really either. The lame romance plot between Stretchy and Invisible limps along. Overall, it’s fairly poor – the sort of DVD I’d only watch if I found it on a bench.
