Review: The X-Files Movie

The X-Files used to be required viewing for me especially at Uni where a group of us would gather together on a weekly basis to watch, drink wine and comment about the weird storylines.  It was in its time a pivotal TV show, changing the television landscape with intelligent, well-acted and produced stories of the strange yet compellingly fascinating.  Given the success of the first movie which relied heavily on the mythology of the show's background story, it was with some eagerness that I sat down last Friday night to watch a DVD of the second movie which is more stand alone in nature with old friends.  None of us had seen it; we were excited, hopeful and buzzed from three bottles of wine.

Frankly, we needed more alcohol.
