Well, I watched it again this weekend with the Signifcant Other, and the two of us nearly laughed ourselves sick. Irwin Allen must've been really financially generous to his actors . . . who the hell could possibly read this script and think appearing in it would be a good idea? Of course, adding an ...

I've bought the original (and still best!) Star Trek on VHS, on Laserdisc, and on the initial 40-DVD set...there is no way in hell I'm spending another dime on buying this show a fourth time. And, while it's my all-time favorite show, I simply refuse to drop any more cash on it.

Will I watch this ...

This movie is hilarious! Funnier than most actual comedies; in one scene, Nicholas Cage actually dons a bear suit to disguise himself . . . and I swear, I'm not making that up.

I love BEYOND THE POSIEDON ADVENTURE, and for all the reasons you state, and more.

Like Shirley ("What the HELL am I doing in this?") Jones telling blind author Jack Warden, "I have eyes...!" Or Telly Savalas unofficial reprising of his role as Blofeld in ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, except ...

Is there any chance that "Lookwell", a brilliant TV pilot with Adam West (as an out-of-work actor who decides to try being a real private eye) will get released on DVD? I saw this on TRIO a few months ago. It was one of the funniest darned things I've ever seen on television...how this didn't make ...

Personally, I thought POSIEDON was hilariously overwrought, and the way scenes were scripted and shot were pretty much announcing which character was going to die next.

When Richard Dreyfuss' character tells a fellow named "Valentine" that he loves his name, I knew that poor guy was only moments ...

My major problem with the movie was that my sympathies lay almost entirely with the "bad guys".

In this movie, Magneto was, to my mind, absolutely justified in his fears (and not entirely unjustified in his actions). He said that the humans would draw "first blood", and they did. He said the ...
