    OK, so who remembers late on a Friday night when your parents had handed over the remote control, retreated to bed and left you to watch the "Outer Limits"? Well, this is exactly the kind of film we would have watched - a sci-fi escapade very light on the science and very heavy on the fiction. This one also has a fair smattering of sexist behaviour and some ginormous, unidentifiable underwater beasties and some little green men from the planet Taurus. I say little green men - it's black and white so I am adding to the cinematic licence a bit - but you get the drift, as our intrepid space travellers set out to find traces of life on this planet gazillions of miles from Earth. Aside from one or two scenes at the end, very - very - little actually happens in this film. It develops a rather predictable romance to clutter up the cockpit and the acting led by James Brown ("Hank") and Francine York ("Lisa") is all very join-the-dots. It's the aquatic creatures that do it for me, though - the crew all look in abject bewilderment at these monstrous things that we, even after 3 bottles of Malbec and ten tequila shots could identify in an heartbeat - it is actually quite comical. No point watching this if you are looking for anything remotely cerebral - but for a bit of daft late night cinema, you could do a great deal worse.

Mass Effect: Paragon Lost

An untold chapter in the Mass Effect saga, following the early career of Alliance Marine, James Vega, as he leads a squad of elite special forces into battle against a mysterious alien threat known as The Collectors. Stationed at a colony in a remote star system, Vega and his troops must protect the inhabitants from an invasion of the deadly insectoid warriors determined to collect the population for unknown purposes. Soon after the attack, Vega's commanding officer falls in battle, forcing the young officer to embrace the responsibility of leadership for the colony's survival. Having idolized Earth's greatest hero and warrior, Commander Shepard (the central character in the Mass Effect video games), the young and idealistic Vega must now make life and the death decisions that will effect not only the lives of his squad, but the lives of every person in the colony - all of whom he has sworn to protect...
