It’s appropriate that A Town Called Mercy is a mixture of the good, the bad and the ugly. Unfortunately, the latter two outweigh the former.
Originally due for publication in September 2009, and set to star the Tenth Doctor, The Dalek Project was held back due to apparent similarities to Series 5’s WWII set Victory of the Daleks.
Who’d have thought watching Benedict Cumberbatch shouting about horses and fire extinguishers would be so compelling?
What really attracts here is the excellent rendition of the three central characters.
You’re thinking twisty-faced Asian dead girls creeping towards the camera as incongruous sound-effects grind your mind into little bits, right?
Looper stands out as one of the year’s smartest, slickest , most WTF-inducing sci-fi films.
This isn’t going to be anyone’s favourite episode of Doctor Who by a long-shot, but it is a fine stand-alone instalment that’s raised above mediocrity by its filmic feel.
No matter how cynical you are, it’s very difficult not to find yourself grinning.
Given their track record, you would think Sinbad and the rest of the Providence would be more cautious about offering strangers a ride.
