Re: rate the last movie you saw
My other issue with this movie is the useless tangent of introducing Boba Fett, as if he is some important figure in the Star Wars universe. In fact Boba Fett is actually a less-significant character than Admiral Piett or Admiral Akbar. He is potentially badass, but other than making-off with Han S...

Re: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA - 78 Movie - Coming to 4K UHD
I had enough Amex points to get it for nothing. Since I'm now on a kick of having all variants of Galactica in terms of official releases (paperbacks, comic books etc.) accounted for, I figured I'd be a fool to say no to a freebie even though I'll only look at a few minutes to see the overall qualit...

Re: Andy's Youtube Uploads - Post-Siskel & Ebert SNEAK PREVIEWS Archive Unearthed
I think the first thing that sent Medved from Left to Right politically was when he detected the clear anti-Semitism that exists in so much of the American Left that we've seen explode more recently.

Re: EXORCIST: BELIEVER - October - Trailer
Just so obvious from watching the trailers this movie has to clue about Blatty's world view, Catholicism, or the entire point of THE EXORCIST itself. Mark Kermode obliterates the movie for that very reason below -- an "in name only" EXORCIST movie for people who don't understand it, and t...

Re: IRWIN ALLEN MASTER OF DISASTER Blu-Ray Box Set from Shout Factory
"Hanging By A Thread" aired in May 1979 in two parts and got scathing reviews for terminal boredom and lame F/X. Then "Bridge" would have come next since James MacArthur was the lead and this would have been just after he quit "Hawaii Five-O" and didn't take part in its...

Re: IRWIN ALLEN MASTER OF DISASTER Blu-Ray Box Set from Shout Factory
Yeah, his post-Warner non-disaster TV movies are much better. "Memory of Eva Ryker" was a decent adaptation of an interesting novel (though it has the disconcerting element of seeing Natalie Wood, in a dual role where she plays her own character's mother in a flashback sequence, face-down ...

Re: IRWIN ALLEN MASTER OF DISASTER Blu-Ray Box Set from Shout Factory
I have managed to slog my way through the three TV movies in this set that I had never seen before and are the most unbearably boring pieces of tripe that Irwin ever put out. By contrast, "The Swarm" and even "When Time Ran Out" had some big-name pizzaz that makes watching them f...

Re: Commentary Tracks - The Good, The Bad & The Unlistenable
These are the kind of "commentaries" that deserved to be cancelled. Not the 45 ones for "Columbo" that we'll never hear!

Re: The Avengers: The Tara King Collection – Imprint
Placed my order for this. Interesting they chose to include the surviving Ian Hendry material with this rather than wait for any release of the Honor Blackman years.

Three Days Of The Condor (1975) 5 of 10 -The last of the 70s government conspiracy films I'd never seen before. I was in the end highly underwhelmed. Not because as I'd always been led to believe that I'd be offended by the plot because frankly the politics of the film are almost non-existent when ...

Re: IRWIN ALLEN MASTER OF DISASTER Blu-Ray Box Set from Shout Factory
My Amazon copy arrived today and thanks to a new price drop and my discount my replacement was just $75 in the end. I did have a broken case alas, which I swapped out with an 8 disc case I had on-hand and I had one curious thing in that "Beyond The Poseidon Adventure" will not load on my c...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
I grew up with a lot of Rapture theology because in the early to mid-80s it was *really* a big deal in Evangelical circles when Cold War tensions reached their last great phase. Sadly, too many people convinced themselves that there were OT references to Russia or that 40 years after the establishme...

Left Behind (2014) 6.5 of 10 -I don't know what compelled me to pick this up. I think it was because I was recently doing a re-inventory of all the Christian audio drama I have on-file which included the magnificent "Focus On The Family Radio Theatre" programs and also taking stock of wha...

Re: COLUMBO Coming on Blu-Ray From Kino
Nope. I know these people who did the Columbo stuff (Gary Gerani, Mark Dawidziak, David Koenig) and their stuff would have been strictly about the making of the show in keeping with the fine work of theirs I've read over the years. Plus, I've noticed how TV series commentaries generally stay on-topi...

Re: COLUMBO Coming on Blu-Ray From Kino
I've decided I am not going to get this when it comes out. They're going to have to knock the price down to no higher than $50 in order for me to get what I now regard as a compromised release that should have been cancelled so that commentaries could have been redone or the "technical" is...
