Diamond Geezer (2005)
OK...........Stick to the pilot
OK, this worked great as a one off ITV drama, with a good story, and some great acting, but it should have been left at that, a TV movie, not a pilot for a small series. The original first "episode" ends superbly for a movie, and should never have been followed on. David Jason gives a believable performance as both the simple minded prisoner with a hobby of collecting things, AND the genius Diamond thief. The story WAS good, strong and believable, but I felt that in the later episodes the thin story lines were predictable and I gave up watching after only two,and went back to watch the original. In a line, stay with the original,its much better.
Firestarter: Rekindled (2002)
Quite possibly one of the best sequels ever made
I rented this at a video store a while back, and after watching it, i just gasped. Having seen the original, and having been a big fan of it for many years, I think this is an excellent sequel. The story is one that you're surprised Stephen King did not write. Charlie is on the run under an assumed name, and has been tracked down by a worker from "the shop" who doesn't realize he's working for them. Now, she must make a decision, run, and keep going, or stay, and end the insanity... John Rainbird is back, and with a handy new way of killing people. There's fire, mayhem, and of course, a pyrokinetic Showdown at the end...the best sequel ever made.
