It isn't without some overreacting, but there's a clear sense of suspense and a lot of twists and turns that keep you guessing and get you hooked for the following episode.

The sub plot about Richard's removed conjoined twin, Derrick, was a little out of nowhere, but Alexander Armstrong's performance was enjoyable, and I have a lot of faith in the writers, to develop the character further, later down the road.

I feel like in order to express how i feel about this episode, I need to go into spoilers, so be warned!

There's often an episode within each season that tries just a little too hard to convey a message that it runs the risk of damaging the very episode. Oxygen is a good example of that.

It started off with a very promising concept - evil space suits that take control of the people that wear them. It goes well with a lot of the cool concepts that this pretty strong season has had so far.

I have to be honest when I say that I haven't been this into Doctor Who since it's last truly strong season in 2010. After that, it went way down hill, when Moffat ran out of ideas, and the show became more pretentious and preachy. Much to my surprise, a lot of the pretentiousness and preachy messages have been downplayed and Doctor Who has returned to it's former glory. That is until now - but only to a certain extent.

This time, though, I can't blame Moffat - he actually has made the best episodes so far in this series and this episode was written by someone else.

Before I dig into what I don't like, I want to share what I did like about this episode, because overall, I really liked it. It had a lot of suspense, the acting was really good, the special effects were top notch, and I was invested in what was happening to the characters. It has a lot of qualities that make it a pretty strong episode, an episode that really could have done without it's unsubtle anti-capitalist propaganda!

Yes, I mean 'propaganda' when I say that. Not to say that the corporate world isn't without it's sins, but to portray it in such an objective way that capitalism values money over human lives is a truly harsh sentiment. This sounds like some sort of Soviet propaganda piece from the 1950s more than it does a Doctor Who episode from 2017.

And I could be considered biased just because I don't agree with the message they are conveying. Fair enough, if you think that - that is partly true in a way. But I don't judge media in that way. If a message is handled in a subtle and well thought out way, I respect that, even if I may not agree with said message. If you execute your message in a sophisticated manner, I will respect that message regardless. But this was not handled well. It was pretentious, preachy and down right badly thought out, which is a shame considering how well the rest of the episode was thought out.

Overall, I'd say this is everything I like and dislike about Doctor Who all mashed up into one episode. Luckily, the well crafted story was enough for me to enjoy it overall

Unusually for me, I actually had good expectations going in to this movie. I've always loved the classic musicals of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers and to see such a film as La La Land hit theatres in this day and age felt like some sort of revival of the long dead musical genre. But the big question is, is there anything under the surface? Is it just a fun musical with great songs, or is there more than just that?

Well, it's with deep pleasure that I can in fact say it isn't just a musical - if anything, it's a good story first, a great musical second.

Yes, I went in expecting a good musical, and to be honest, if all it was was that, I would have no complaints. But this movie took it another level. It had an extra layer that I wasn't expecting.

I enjoyed 2017's Beauty and the Beast remake a lot. It delivered, with great songs, and brilliant dance choreography, but let's be honest - if you take all that away, what would you have? It wouldn't be half the movie it was without the musical side of things.

Take La La Land, and you have a movie that would work fine even if you took the musical side of things away. The songs only make it even greater than it would have already have been.

The chemistry between the two leads feels genuine and believable. They don't feel like fictional characters. Instead, they feel like real human beings, with real aspirations and real dreams, hoping to prove their worth. As someone with big dreams of hitting it big, this undoubtedly hit to heart with me.

I've heard some backlash from some, people who want to get over critical due to the movie's massive success. Some say it's nothing but an excuse for Hollywood to glorify themselves with much narcissism. Those people completely misunderstood the whole point of this movie. This is a raw portrayal of Hollywood, and the challenge one has to achieve success.

The ending - I dare not spoil it! It is the very cherry on top of a delicious cake.

I tell you, if you have not watched La La Land, believe the hype! It's as good as they say it is!

Family Guy has often been criticized by Christians for it's offensive material. I have always been a fan of the show, despite my faith, but have generally disliked the episodes which tackle religion.

Livin' on a Prayer is by no means a typical episode with religious commentary - this is a surprisingly effective and intelligent episode, that I think any Christian should sit down and watch. Because I don't have any problem with a criticism of religion - it's when there seems to be no point or message, but to anger Christians that I truly find myself offended.

In my opinion, if you are going to criticize a religion, then you need to really have a reason for it, because if you're going to just hate on religion, then there is no reason for anyone, even atheists to listen to you. The same can be said about Christian movies, that caricature atheists as evil, unreasonable jerks.

In this episode, Stewie's new best friend is seriously ill, and his Scientologist parents won't give him treatment, because they believe that praying for a cure is the answer.

There's a rather funny scene where Lois and Peter have to kidnap the boy in the middle of the night to send him to hospital, without waking the parents.

At first, this episode doesn't tend to be anything out of the ordinary, but it's what Lois says at the very end that truly makes this a special episode. She says that For thousands of years Christians have been praying for cures of illnesses, and that the scientific medicines that have been created are an answer to their prayers.

Whether or not this was intended as a pro-religious episode, rather than alienating the people they are criticizing, they are speaking out to them. Rather than condemning faith, it is condemning a flaw of faith, as any truly good commentary should.

Not only does Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens contain all your favourite characters and the events of the movie, but also has several bonus levels, following characters from parts of the story that we didn't see. You're able to not only explore the planets from the movie, but also other planets created especially for the game.

You can also collect and play over 200 characters, including director JJ Abrams and producer Kathleen Kennedy.

Battle your way through space battles, combat missions, and so much more. Like all the Lego games prior, you can't die, but it's so much fun! I can't recall a Lego game being as fun as this one.

If you love Lego and the movie, go buy this right now!

Episode I was an overall disappointing movie - it's successor, a slight improvement, but nowhere near being good - The third and final installment in the trilogy, the good one! Yes, I just said that. Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith is a good movie.

George Lucas finally and made a good prequel movie. Jar Jar doesn't utter a word and the boring space politics, gone. The cheesy Anakin/Padme romance, is a lot more bearable than in Episode II.

Let's start from the beginning - The opening sequence is an actual Star Wars sequence. We see, in front of our very eyes, a thrilling battle, the best one since Return of the Jedi. Anakin fights Count Dooku and wins. He takes his lightsabre, and has him unarmed. Palpatine persuades Anakin to kill him on the spot, even though this is not a thing that a Jedi should do in such a situation. For the first time, we see a glimpse of a much darker Anakin, influenced by Palpatine.

Much like in Attack of the Clones, we see two major plot lines taking place at the same time, one with Anakin and Padme and the latter with Obi Wan. This time around, however, both are compelling, powerful parts of the movie. Even Hayden Christenson is good in this movie, give or take a few terrible lines of dialogue. Obi Wan's fight with Grievous, excellent!

Gradually, we see Anakin turn to the dark side, and we understand exactly how he feels, even if he does go a little too crazy at times. Ian McDiarmid steals the entire movie. Every time he comes on screen, he is awesome.

This whole movie is so much better than it's two predecessors, but it's far from perfect. The dialogue is much better for the most part, but there are far too many unintentionally hilarious lines, like that formidable 'Younglings' scene, where Ewan McGreggor has to cover his mouth, to hide his amusement.

The CGI is everywhere, just like before, except generally, it is executed very well. It's a clear picture of how much technology had improved in those few years. It isn't anything close to the beauty of the visual effects that we would eventually see in The Force Awakens some 10 years later, but it is so much better than the dated visuals of The Phantom Menace. It's just a couple of years before the revival of practical effects, and in many respects, the original trilogy did it better, but for the most part, the special effects have held up very well.

All in all, this is a surprisingly good movie. The movie people were expecting a Star Wars prequel to be, and in my opinion, it does seem that this was the story George Lucas wanted to make a reality, as he seems to put more care and effort in this movie than those two other, messy prequels. Forget the other two, you could start watching from here and miss nothing important!

Wow,this movie did not disappoint!

I didn't think Disney could top Zootopia this year, but I think they just might have.

So, it starts on somewhat familiar territory. I've heard a few critics say that it starts like a lot of the Disney fairytale movies - A girl who wants more in her life, and her parents who are far too protective. So what?! I don't care. As long as they can keep retelling this formula in new and creative ways, I have no problem with it. And we've never seen it told in this setting before.

The animation is spectacular. I would go as far to say that Moana is the best looking movie of 2016.

The characters are really good. Moana is a strong and very likable lead and Maui is at least as likable as the genie from Aladdin. Dwayne Johnson was the perfect choice for Maui. In fact, he literally is an animated Dwayne Johnson!

Alan Tudyck, the John Ratzenburger of the present day Disney movies, plays Hei Hei, a comic relief that is used just enough, and never gets annoying, or distracts from the movie's central plot.

I also congratulate Disney for not relying on star power, with Dwayne Johnson as an exception. Whereas Frozen, and even Zootopia to a certain degree had a lot of famous names, most of the cast aren't particularly very well known. This is Auli'i Cravalho's first ever movie, and she managed to play the part perfectly.

I can't recommend this movie enough. I absolutely loved both Zootopia and Kubo and the two Strings, and didn't think there'd be a better animated movie this year, but I was wrong!

Directed by Brett Ratner and Starring Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian MacKellen and Halle Berry, the third movie in the X-Men Saga tells the story of the discovery of the so-called 'cure' for mutants, which leads to outrage and eventually full out war.

X-Men: The Last Stand has a very different feel to it than it's predecessors. As a whole, the film received some mixed reviews, mostly due to it's lack of character development. While I understand why people have a problem with that, I believe what it lacks in character development, it makes up for with pretty much everything else.

The backstory with Angel is really effective and it's a shame that his role in the film is so underplayed. There are so many interesting characters introduced in this movie, which you are not able to see much of, because there really isn't the time. It's unfortunate that they felt like they had to cram in so many characters in this film. It would have worked better if you were introduced to less of them, and therefore get to know them a little better, and maybe they could have introduced some more in another X- Men movie.

I suppose you could say it has the same issues that Spiderman 3 had - The new characters may be interesting, but due to so many plots going on in the same time, you feel like you never really get to know any of them.

That aside, this movie was incredible. The amount of emotion this movie has, really is remarkable. The score, by John Powell, completes this film, with beautiful music, complementing the amazing epic scale that this has. And I found the ending deeply moving and satisfying.

Despite it's flaws, X-Men: The Last Stand has enough to redeem itself, and is a worthy part of the X-Men Saga

Inside Out is a masterpiece which revives Pixar back to the days of Ratatouille, Wall-E and Up.

It is original, funny, well written and appropriately emotional. I don't think I could recommend this enough. If you like the other Pete Docter movies, like Monsters Inc. and Up, then you'll love this.

Before watching this I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. I had only heard good things from critics and people alike, but the trailer didn't really interest me very much and I had this thought in the back of my head that I wasn't going to like it. I was so wrong. I loved this film so much.

If you haven't already, go see it!

I think since the time when I first watched this and the present, I have come to look at films a little differently. If you asked me what I felt about this film 2 years ago, then I would tell you that I absolutely love it and give it a 5/5. But since I began animating films on YouTube and reviewing other people's films, I have become much more of a critic.

As time has passed, I have felt and less about this film, mostly due to the fact that it is still hard to escape it, from TV to merchandising, it's everywhere. I have reached the point of becoming fed up with it. It is overrated and doesn't compare to it's predecessor Tangled. But just because something is overrated doesn't mean it's bad. In this case, I still like Frozen, but don't love it like most seem to.

It is still a fun film, but not a hugely strong one. The writing is quite weak and cheesy and the case is the same with the plot. It just goes to show that when something is pushed and pushed and pushed like Frozen is, you can start to really get fed up with it. If they could literally "Let it go" like they do with most films, I don't think I would feel this strongly about it.

A remarkable film, Zootopia blew me away with the amazing visuals, attention to detail and unique writing. It's traditional Disney - a strong moral message behind a colourful, fantastically made beautiful animation.

My one critique is that I felt as though perhaps it was a little too preachy - It feels like the creators so deeply wanted to put their message across about racial prejudice that it felt almost forced and not very subtle. Be that as it may, it is a rather touchy subject and I do think that overall, they did a pretty good job with it as a whole.

All the characters are well developed and interesting, which is extremely vital for a good movie. Even the minor characters that may only have a couple of minutes of screen time are unique and well developed. The movie did also have a lot of unexpected surprises near the end which you probably aren't likely to predict. Zootopia is a marvelous film, and is worthy to be a part of the Disney classic collection.

Wow, this movie is boring. I think it's supposed to be a comedy, but I didn't really find it very funny. It's not one thing or another. It's not really terrible, but then it's not really good either. The scenes when they walk around Paris are better than most of the film, for at least you get to see some of the scenery, but that doesn't really make up for the bland, boring movie that this is. I think the concept is okay and they had a real opportunity to make a decent film, but somehow they just couldn't. I don't think it would have been quite so bad if it hadn't been so long. They could have easily have made a decent film by just cutting about an hour of the movie's runtime. It's not offensive or horrible in any way, however, and it wouldn't hurt to have it on in the background.
