Tora! Tora! Tora! review
Posted : 12 years, 6 months ago on 5 January 2012 03:23 (A review of Tora! Tora! Tora!)Originally deemed a boring movie and a box-office flop, today it's probably the most fact-based telling of the plot behind the Pearl Harbor attacks, shown from both the Japanese and American sides.

Galaxy Quest review
Posted : 12 years, 6 months ago on 4 January 2012 04:31 (A review of Galaxy Quest)"Never Give Up,...Never Surrender!"
A hilarious spoof of the Star Trek franchise resurgence and stood it on its head! Hell, I think even Gene Roddenberry was laughing in his grave!

Glory Road review
Posted : 12 years, 7 months ago on 28 December 2011 04:45 (A review of Glory Road)It didn't originally appeal to me, but then I had to watch it as part of a managers' training class and I really enjoyed it more than I expected. Knowing the outcome wasn't the big thing here, it was the interplay and because it's based on a true story, its a great snapshot of early-60s race views, too!

Hex review
Posted : 12 years, 7 months ago on 18 December 2011 05:47 (A review of Hex)I'm sort of conflicted about this show. It started as a Buffy-wannabe, had the same mix of horror and humor, then it got upended, had character changes and just devolved into a weird, unpleasant series. The ending left me wanting more and wishing it stayed on its original course.

Fahrenheit 451 review
Posted : 12 years, 7 months ago on 11 December 2011 01:39 (A review of Fahrenheit 451)For a story about banning books, there's a certain perverse satisfaction that Fahrenheit 451 is now available as an e-book!

Being Erica review
Posted : 12 years, 7 months ago on 3 December 2011 05:07 (A review of Being Erica)I stumbled across this on SoapNet a few years ago and really liked it. It was a bit too Pollyanna-like, but the points did hit home most of the time.

Point Blank review
Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 11 November 2011 01:47 (A review of Point Blank)The basis for Mel Gibson's Payback. A classic; violent, nasty and gets to the point! Probably one of the best of the 60s!

The Golden Compass review
Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 7 November 2011 12:39 (A review of The Golden Compass)Even after scrubbing this garbage of its anti-Christian themes, it stunk! Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman act like they phoned their parts in; Eva Green's role was wasted and the whole thing was long and boring.
