This is the first time I ever seen this one. Though I have heard a lot of great things about it. So I was hoping going into this one that I wouldn't be disappointed due to all they hype I have read. But thankfully that wasn't the case. I found I enjoyed this one very much. It is at a slower pace then I am normally used to... but that really works with this storyline. I liked the way this movie handled entering a home without an invite. An idea I never seen before... as the way I normally see it the vampire just cannot enter... like there is an invisible force field in the way. So I got to see something I never seen in a vampire movie before... and with all the vampire movies I ever seen... that is saying a lot. This is one I definitely recommend... if you never seen it... give it a chance!

Plot:
Christopher Reeve not only dons the title hero's cape for the fourth time but also helped develop the movie's provocative theme: nuclear disarmament. To make the world safe for nuclear arms merchants, Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) creates a new being to challenge the Man of Steel: the radiation-charged Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow). The two foes clash in an explosive extravaganza that sees Superman save the Statue of Liberty, plug a volcanic eruption of Mount Etna and rebuild the demolished Great Wall of China. Your quest for excitement is over.

Better than I remembered, but still the worst of the original Superman movies. Suffering from bad special effects, low budget and a silly story. But it has some scenes which I enjoyed.
The movie strayed too much from being a more serious movie and gets quite comicy. Going even so far as taking a human into space without problems.

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Star Trek: The Next Generation



What's the show about?
The crew of the Galaxy class starship Enterprise, designation NCC-1701-D, "explores strange new worlds, new civilizations and goes bodly where no one has gone before". Captain Picard and his men, women and android travel through the known universe and beyond, analyze space phenomena and negotiate peace or trade treaties.

What happened before?
TNG plays roughly a century after Captain Kirk's five year mission ("Star Trek") and about 70 years after the Kithomer conference ("Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country"). Klingons and the Federation are no longer enemies.

"Encounter at Farpoint"
Captain Jean-Luc Picard has just taken over the command of the Enterprise. On the way to the newly-built Farpoint Station on the planet Deneb IV the Enterprise is attacked by a being that calls himself a "Q". It demands that the human race is to return to their own solar system. After a "trial" which seems to take place in a late-21st-century court room, judge Q decides to put the ship's crew on probation depending on whether they are able to solve the mystery of Farpoint Station.

My Opinion
When I watched the pilot for the first time back in 1990 or 1991 on german television I was thrilled. Star Trek was back on the screen! I devoured every new episode and I liked Q from the beginning. Since I wasn't born when the original series ran and I watched it only a few years earlier I was unprejudiced about the new show.
TNG is my second-favourite Star Trek show (directly after DS9).

Again I was surprised when I watched the show with english audio track. No one of the main characters is able to pronounce the captain's name correctly, not even the captain himself.
