|
Stars:
Keanu Reeves as Ted "Theodore" Logan
Alex Winter as Bill S. Preston
George Carlin as Rufus
Terry Camilleri as Napoleon
Dan Shor as Billy the Kid
Plot:
History is about to be rewritten by two guys who can't spell....
Time flies when you're having fun. Party on dudes!
Ted "Theodore" Logan (Reeves) and Bill S. Preston Esquire (Winter) won't graduate if they don't do well in their history presentation. This would be both bogus and uncool! A dude called Rufus comes from the future in a telephone box to help them, as their lives are important to the future of mankind! The two jump in and out of different ease, collecting historical figures (from Socrates to Billy the Kid), confronting then with West Coast culture and generally being excellent!
Awards:
Nominated:

| Saturn (1990) | Best Science Fiction Film |
Extras:
- Photo Gallery

My Thoughts:
A fun light-hearted comedy which plays nicely with time-travel. Making things appear because they decide to put it there in the future 
Meeting themselves in the beginning to show them, that time-travel is real
George Carlin is great as Rufus. "Volle Kanne, Hoschi!" (this is how "Party on, dude!" was translated in the German version and became a catchphrase for a while here in Germany). Alex Winter always reminds me of Michael Schumacher

The Long Riders, a review by Rogmeister
The Long Riders (1980) 99m
Director: Walter Hill
Music: Ry Cooder
Cast: David Carradine, Keith Carradine, Robert Carradine, James Keach, Stacy Keach, Dennis Quaid, Randy Quaid, Christopher Guest, Nicholas Guest, Harry Carey Jr., Pamela Reed
This was another western about the James-Younger gang but it was done with a bit of a twist. Each set of brothers was played by a set of actual brothers...so you had the Carradines playing the Younger brothers, James and Stacy Keach playing Jesse and Frank James, Dennis and Randy Quaid playaing the Millers and Christopher and Nicholas Guest playing the Fords. Pamela Reed also shows up as Belle Starr (no, she didn't look that good in real life). It's an interesting idea (all those real brothers playing historical brothers) and it results in a fine western, definitely one of the better westerns of the 1980's. Since this is Jesse James (and company) we're talking about, there is definitely some actual events here though they still make the outlaws perhaps a bit more likeable than they actually were in real life but I still enjoy this film and have no qualms about recommending it. I've had this DVD awhile and there are unfortunately no real extras...just the trailer. I would definitely vote for this getting a special edition but this is all we have for now, I think. A first-rate western.

An episode about some time-accelerated aliens who try to take over the Enterprise. A nice episode, but nothing really special.
