William Campbell, who played Trelane, the Squire of Gothos in ST:TOS has dies. He had quite a career, including another ST appearance, as Koloth, a Klingon.

Don't waste your money on this film. It is the worst thing I have sat through in years. I guess it means to be a comedy, but none of the humor works. I saw it in 3D, but it is the worst modern 3D I have seen. The best looking part of this film was actually the beginning of the end credits, which...

I've loved The Independent Film Channel for years now. It presented arthouse movies, short independent films and animation. It had been going down hill lately, showing lots of series comedies, and other series. But, now they have added ads, and have constant commercial breaks in their films. I...

PBS has just started showing a 3 ep series of a new, 21st century Sherlock Holmes, made in the UK. It has Dr. Who connections, with Steven Moffat doing it. The first installment was quite well done. I'll admit I was skeptical about an update, but IMO, it works well. It is on PBS Masterpiece...

It seems that former Dr, Who, David Tennant, has a new gig, introducing PBS's Masterpiece Contemporary series. This series will start, in the US, next Sunday. The first show is called Endgame, starring William Hurt, and Derek Jacobi. It's about the end of apartheid. Addendum: I just found out...

Tomorrow, Friday, the original Prisoner will begin a run on The Independent Film Channel. They will show three eps in a row, starting at 8pm, EST., and continue the following Friday. If you've got the IFC, check it out!

Remakes have been discussed for years, so I won't hold my breath, but according to an article reprinted from the LA Times, the cable channel American Movie Classics (AMC) will be making a "reinterpreted...21st century" six ep version of The Prisoner, staring Jim Claviezel as number 6, to premier...

Well, I'm not a big Robert Downey Jr. fan, but I liked it. The special effects are great, story not bad. So, has anyone else seen it? One thing I should add, if you do go see it, you must stay for the end of the credits. There is another scene there at the end! I always stay through the...

But Bruno survives... they are being killed off by their creator. :( http://www.reuters.com/article/peopleNews/idUSL2149095020071221

We have several threads on various TV shows, and movies, but I thought a thread for DVDs we have watched recently would be interesting... hopefully with a bit more of a review than in the "listening to" thread. I'll start it off... WHV finally did something exactly right, even superb! I'm sure...

ABC TV's program Masters Of Science Fiction is finally making it to the air, tonight, Saturday, at 10pm EDT. This program was originally planned as an anthology series, and should have started months ago. But ABC gave it the Crusade treatment. They only produced four shows, and have now burried...

Anyone else seen this yet? The Surfer is one of my favorite Marvel characters. The film was fair, but I hope for more and better, in the future. One thing I found disgusting was the product placement. Every time anyone was drinking a beer, it was Dos Equis. But, the real over-the-top part was...

I had a film from the Sundance Channel in the HDD of my DVR for a month or so, and finally watched it. Made in 1992, Jason Carter stars as a teen living in a small farming community near a US air base in the UK. It's not great, but not bad either. It was interesting to see him play a character...

Today, April 1st, the feature of the day on the main page of Wikipedia is their entry on Spoo! It's funny and informative. When it is off the main page, you can just look up the entry.

Does anyone know what the broadcast date will be on CBC, Canadian Broadcasting, that is? I don't want to miss it! Or, if you know the UK date, I would assume the CBC date will be later, so that would at least be a clue!

I just saw an amazing film on HBO, called Titus, available on DVD. It was made in 1999, Stars Anthony Hopkins, Jessica Lange, and lots of fine actors you've seen in everything from The X Men, to Braveheart. It is based on the play Titus Andronicus, by Shakespere. Although I understand why he...

He was so versitile that he directed every sort of film from West Side Story, to Star Trek, The Motion Picture. He directed several of my favorite films, Blood On the Moon, Born To Kill, The Day The Earth Stood Still, and many more. He edited Citizen Kane. Sad to see him go...

There is one ep of the X Files that I have never seen. It has Burt Reynolds for a guest star, and is called Improbable. It should be coming around in rotation on July 20, on TNTHD. But guess what? They are skipping that one ep! They continue with the rest of season 9, then start over with...

Since the board changed, I have had a problem with all new post markers disappearing. When I log on, everything is fine. I can read all I want, and everything functions properly. If I reply to a post, when I return to the topic list, it looks as if everything has been read, even if I had not...

Yow! Some of the things I predicted came to pass, but in totally different ways than I expected. Norman healed, then struck down, moments later. Sophie did prove crucial, but... She shot Jonesy! She seems to be resurecting the evil Brother Justin! Ben stabbed Justin in the right spot, with the...
