The Original but not the best

Advantages: Retro Galactica
Disadvantages: uhm Retro Galactica

...get attacked and only one battlestar (a warship) called Galactica is left in the whole fleet. The Cylons also attack all the human worlds meaning. The survivors are then left struggling and form a fleet of ships and flee into exile in search of the planet Earth, where the 13th tribe settled. The first 10 episodes keep to the plot, with state of the art special effects for TV at the time. The series ran out of money so special effects or costumes ...
...becomes more and more absurd towards the end of the series in an effort to keep going without backing. There are no special features at all on this other than still photos. It is a basic DVD transfer, which for me is all I want. The main Character of the series are: Captain Apollo - Richard Hatch Starbuck - Dirk Benedict Lorne Green - Commander Adama The episodes in the boxset are: Saga of a Star World 1, 2, 3 The Lost Planet of the Gods ...

A Journey That Begins Where Everything Ends

Advantages: Outstanding, jaw-dropping visual effects, majestic score, great production
Disadvantages: Acting, writing, story, direction...everything underneath

...know, a black hole is the remains of a supergiant star that has collapsed into itself; it is so dense and has such an intense gravitational field that nothing can escape it, not even light. In 1972, the first convincing candidate for a black hole was discovered by astronomers, and it was called Cygnus X-1; of course, the public still had a lot to understand about the mystery of black holes, as hardly anything was published in book form on the phenomenon. ...
...film to cash in on the STAR WARS craze, I’m one of those individuals who feels there is more to THE BLACK HOLE then meets the eye. ****************************************************************** THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE ****************************************************************** The starship Palomino is doing patrols far away from Earth; the crew consists of only five people: Captain Dan Holland (Robert Forster), his ...

Review of The Black Hole (DVD)

1982 Blade Runner

Advantages: never fading, always new and gives you hope
Disadvantages: not good for under 16

...The fact that the Blade Runner(Rick Deckard) is forced back into killing the Nexus 6, made a turning point in the movie as he was now a target. The Nexus 6 which was just out to destroy the happily living humans was now being destroyed by the Deckard to 3 of them left and this was the hard target. I was so curious as to know how soon he was going to do this or if he was going to quit the job as he had initially wanted. When he(Deckard ) was almost ...
...this guy in the head, made things in the life of him. He was to kill this girl but after few shots of vodka, found that he loves this girl. I was like oh my God what is he doing? you are gonna get killed. But i was wrong because the whole thing changed. Furthermore, the fact that fact he was spared bye Roy Batty at the final end of the movie was just an evolution in life because he(Batty) realized that all humans are equal and there still remain ...

Review of The Butterfly Effect (DVD)

Kinky Boots

Advantages: Kitsch, Kinky and Kool
Disadvantages: Only if you don't like cheese

Beware all cheese haters, this film is most definitely not for you. If you love kitsch, Jane Fonda, knee high boots and fake fur ...... go for it!!! Its got to be a winner. Now I know i'm strange, but this is my favorite movie of all time. The whole thing is amazing from the set to the special effects to the acting and the groovy costumes. My favorite items are of course Barbarella's costumes, which are basically different in every scene, the ...
...Ingenious all the way. Every little bit of every part is like an elaborate trippy dream gone wrong. We need more of this type of film, the world would be a happier place with more Barbarellas and Duran Duran's in it. 'An angel doe not make love, an angel is love' Don't you just love it????? ...
