The Strain (2014–2017)

The Strain , Bela Lugosi would be Proud !

[10/10 · 24 August 2014]

Call it what you want , it's a new style Vampire Virus , with a Van Helsing type Character. I am just loving it and I hope it keeps going ! I don't think anything I've said hear is a spoiler but , I grew up on Saturday triple Features at the local Brooklyn Theaters in Greenpoint. Sounds a bit like Rocky Horror ! My best friend and I both think its terrific so far ,

and he was with me watching those scary Bela Lugosi flicks, on a regular basis ! The only thing that sets me back , is how stupid the people that the CDC doctors try to convince , what has happened to the plane victims ! But , they seem to never last very long , losing their lives cause they lost the plot !

The Smut Peddler (1965)

Worst Soft or Hard Porno Movie ever

[1/10 · 16 December 2013]

I remember seeing this movie on the bill at the Gaiety Burlesque Theater in Wash.DC in 1966 or so , I know it was the in-between shows movie. Plus ,I recognized actor James Hong and John something , sorry I can't remember , I thought it was John Schuck but it's not him but name maybe sounded similar. This was later on in life , as two of the movies actors got into TV. At IMDb their names weren't listed on the Cast list and neither showed them on their Name listing all their work at IMDb : but who would want their name on this REALLY BAD EVEN FOR PORNO flick !!!!! I'd dare say it's even worse then Plan 9 From Outer Space or your worse picture choice !

Yonderland (2013–2016)

Monty Python meets the Muppets , over Yonder in the Labyrinth!

[9/10 · 11 November 2013]

What a treat ,I saw someone comparing it with the Dark Crystal But I feel it's more a dash of Labyrinth thrown into the mix! The characters are funny ,especially the puppets or Muppets! The Council guys look like they watched allot of Monty Python even for some strange reason a Dr. Who attitude. The lead female gives you that Alice in Wonderland goes Shirley Valentine on us ! The sets and props are definitely magical, but I wish they wouldn't roll the credits by so fast. I was trying to see the creative teams behind it all and if I recognized any of them. Great costumes , all in all a great show for kids of all ages! And I just turned 66!

In Time (2011)

A very thought provoking Movie

[9/10 · 7 November 2013]

Watched this interesting movie called "in Time " with Justin Timberlake ,good performance by him ! The story tells of people getting a life clock and dying when they run out of time...then I realized why the Tea Party and Republicans don't want Obamacare , if people can live longer and get pre-existing illnesses treated by Obamacare ,the insurance companies they own won't make as much money ,plus they don't want us getting older ,the poor at least , and Obamacare will help many of us poorer folk put a drain on the cheap so and so's. Instead of raising the minimum wage so people can spend more at their companies ,they would rather we not live too long in the first place. I haven't seen election results as yet ,but I hope America wakes up , TEA & REP. Parties lie to us all and FOX News swears to it !!!

????Cancelled

[10/10 · 17 May 2008]

I can't freaking believe it.... I really got into this.... just hope terrorist didn't see it.... What a lot of people don't get... we might face a world scarred like this ...one day.... Even the loss of one big city , might be enough to catapult the world into darker times..... I hope someone in the Movie World would jump on this show as a TV movie or theatrical release of a ending to the show.... I hate loose ends !!!! You don't think a movie is a good idea.... I'll blog the question at my blog.... Would you go see Jericho in a theater or watch a a TV movie I am at www.thewizardofrockandroll.blogspot.com Come vote on this....Glad a Indiana Jones and STAR TREK are coming , even though...never mind , that's another comment BB

The Man from Earth (2007)

The Man from Earth

[10/10 · 1 December 2007]

One of the best stories I've seen in a few years,

plus the cast made me feel his friends cared a lot.... just see a great movie from a great story !!!

It was so startling to see how they all came to say their good-byes and wind up with much more then a friends remorse of losing a friend.

And then another part of the story is how well a man queried on information can respond promptly to his inquisitors ! Ever since I started watching Enterprise, it seems its Doctor has gotten into a lot of well-written parts for him , as the Doctorate friend of the Man , JOHN OLDMAN
