In the same alternate universe where Stuart Townsend is Aragorn, Marty McFly is ginger. Stoltz (like Townsend) spent a few weeks playing Marty before everyone involved realised their first choice (who at the time had been too busy with 'Family Ties' to even be shown the ...

Rather than keeping his head down and trying to work out a way to get home Marty manages to interfere with his parents first meeting and endangers his own existence. What follows is a race against time to get his parents to fall in love before Saturday night when lightning will hit the clock tower providing the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity to power the time machine; and give Marty his only chance ...

Review of Back To The Future (DVD)

...the 1985, Academy award winning, Back to the Future. Directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg, the films star Michael J. Fox as teenager Marty McFly and Christopher Lloyd as scientist Dr. Emmett L. Brown. This was one of my all time childhood favourites, and to this day is still in my top ten of all time. It had everything one would want from an action film, action, drama, edge of the seat excitement and comedy. I think most ...

...culture that people often mistake Back To The Future as a science fiction film, however I tend to disagree, it is more a comedy with a science fiction theme. Released in 1985, and directed by Robert Zemeckis, it's a classic film that all people of its time will remember. Marty is a typical 17 year old, into his rock band, having fun and girls! he is the main member of the cast and I really don’t think that they could have found anyone better ...

Back to the Future for me was a classic film that blends the ideas of future and the past with complete ease. Packed with special effects, you're never short of a visual ...

Review of Back To The Future (DVD)

...created by director Robert Zemeckis, Back to the future is based upon the theories of time travel and interference with the workings of the space time continuum. Marty McFly, the main character (Michael J.

To be more precise, the Flux Capacitor is the nerve ...

When Marty realises what has happened, he knows he must find Doc for him fix to the Time machine (which ran out of fuel on the way to the 50’s) and to help send him back to 1985. He does so, but Doc knows that getting the ‘21 Jigawatts’of power needed to send him back will ...

...oh yeah, a copy of Back to the Future in the player and on the silver screen. For me, this silm was more than just great acting, generous helpings of graphical genius and comedy, it was the cunning culmination of interplay between characters and a driving plot which worked so definitevely. Michael J Fox is superbly cast as the disorganized, wannabe rock-guitarist, loved up, physco teenager 9phew that was a mouthful). Alongside christopher Lloyd, ...

Perhaps Back to the future Episode 2 provides the most diverse of stories, but each follows progressively onto the next in a way which is seamless enough to guarantee your viewing. Episode 1 sees Marty(Fox) being called upon by Doc Brown(Lloyd), to film him making his historic journey as the first man to ever time travel. His craft is a modified Delorean complete with flux capacitor and hugely impressive Gullwing doors. ...

Back to the Future DVD Back To The Future is a film that sits in the hearts of many as a classic of the 1980s, one of those films that 'they just don't make any more'. It is a time-travelling adventure with some intense and panicky acting from Michael J Fox and some quirky mad scientist behaviour from Christopher Lloyd. It was groundbreaking in terms of its scientific ideas when it was released in 1985 to a very receptive audience, and made instant ...

Review of Back To The Future (DVD)

I have grown up with Back To The future as one of my favourite films, for as long as I can remember, and nothing has since changed. As a 14 year-old teenager, my friends all base their lives around "oh no, he's coming up behind her"-style horror films, and if I tell them about a seemingly prehistoric film from 1985 about a time machine, they assume I'm going mad. But to tell the truth, the film is less of a complicated sci-fi plot and more of a comedy ...
...think about the movie, one question comes into my head; why isn't this movie a lot more well-known? The movie is based around a 17 year old teen, Marty McFly (Michael J Fox) who has a nerdy cowardly dad, George McFly, a strict principal and a daunting hardly-straight-A-student school grade record that makes him a "slacker" in his principal's eyes. The only look-ups in his life are his pretty girlfriend Jenny and his crazy mad-scientist-stereotype ...

Back to the Future in a science fiction adventure made in 1985 directed by Robert Zemeckis (who also directed Forrest Gump) and stars Michael J. Fix and Christopher Lloyd. Marty McFly (Fox) is an ordinary 17yr old, except for one thing; he has a rather eccentric friend, Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown (Lloyd). One night, he invites him to the local mall in the middle of the night. Marty, being curious, agrees. When he arrives he is met by Doc, who shows ...

While he is there he bumps into his father, makes his mother fall in love with him, and has to get them back together for the "Enchantment under the Sea dance" so they fall in love and eventually conceive him. Along the way, he also manages to invent Rock N' Roll and the skateboard. This is probably one of the only films ...

Unable to get in touch with Doc, he sits down and orders a drink. I love the shot of Marty sat next to this guy, and they are sat in exactly the same way. Next minute, Biff walks in. "McFly." Both Marty and the person next to him turn to face the door. As Biff walks towards the person sat next ...

Michael J Fox was perfect for the role of Marty. The only thing is people say he is now type-casted as Marty McFly. However, he will be remembered for that role in a good way, as he played Marty excellently. Christopher Lloyd was also perfectly casted as Doc. Brown. ...

...some great acting. Back to the Future is a 1985 film staring Michael J Fox as Marty McFly, the high school student who goes, Back to the Future! The basic plot involves him being sent back to 1955 from 1985. There he meets his father and his mother, attracting his mothers romantic interest in him. He must repair the damage to history by causing his parents to fall in love while finding a way to return to 1985. I am a big fan of Michael J Fox and ...

He has crazy white hair, is very scatty and comes up with some hair brained schemes. I like his character because you can tell he really cares about Marty and his situation. The time machine, as I've mentioned above is made out of a classic car, the Delorean. ...

...mulling over quite what makes Back to the Future one of the best fun movies of all time. The story is of Marty McFly (Michael J Fox) a teenager from 1985 accidently sent back in time 30 years by the eccentric doctor Emmet Brown (Christopher Lloyd). Predictably Marty's prescence in 1955 causes a few mishaps, not least that he accidently prevents his parents from meeting - if he doesn't get them back together fast he'll not even be a glint in his dad's ...
...Brown can help him get back to the future... So the story is simple enough, but there's so much more to it than that. Take the loving attention to detail - Hill Valley, the town where the action is set is brimming with indicators of the time. 80's Hill Valley is a place of skateboards, rock music, aerobics classes, flashy japanese pick up trucks and diet cola while the 50's version is chock full of milkshakes, school dances, rock and roll juke boxes ...

Back to the Future is over 15 years old now. I remember it was the first film I saw in the "Point" Cinema at Milton Keynes (the first mulitplex in the U.K. for useless information fans). I hadn't seen it for years and spent ages tracking it down for a reasonable price. Of course now, it's available in Virgin with the two sequels on a five for £20.00. Anyway, the film stars Michael J Fox as Marty McFly. He's a slacker at school, he wants to play ...

Unfortunately, he stops the event that leads to his parents getting together, his Mum's fallen for him and he also has to worry about Biff the guy who is still bullying his Dad in 1985. It's surprising how well this film holds up to day, the films is still funny, the feel good element is at the max but it never feels ...
