Olympus Has Fallen, a review by GSyren
(From Reviews and ramblings by Gunnar on February 21st, 2014) Billy the Kid's Range War , a review by addicted2dvd
Stars: Bob Steele as Billy the Kid Al St. John as Fuzzy Joan Barclay as Ellen Carleton Young as Jeff Rex Lease as Buck Milton Kibbee as Leonard Karl Hackett as Williams Ted Adams as Sheriff Julian Rivero as Romero Alden Chase as Dave Howard Masters as Jenkins Buddy Roosevelt as Spike Ralph Peters as Jailer Plot: Billy the Kid and his pal Fuzzy discover a criminal Is attempting to prevent the completion of a stagecoach road being built by a female stage line operator. Extras:
My Thoughts: This movie is from a Billy the Kid 20 movie boxset that was given to me. It was released by Mill Creek Entertainment. So right from the start I was expecting the quality to really be hit and miss. In the case of this movie. It is watchable... but it doesn't look very good at all. there was a lot of dust and scratches in the film. And it was as if the brightness was turned up too far. So much in fact that in some scenes the faces and such almost blended in with the boulders and such in the background. There was also a slightly jumpy scene or two here and there. As for the movie itself... not bad. But I definitely seen better. I got a kick out of the character Fuzzy... who was obviously there for a little comedic relief. Early on in the movie he helped Billy to escape by using a sling shot to make a sheriff drop his gun. I may be remembering wrong... but I thought Billy the Kid was always an outlaw? In this movie (possibly this entire boxset as they seem to be somewhat related to each other) Billy the Kid is a wanted man... but he is innocent. And he is working to clear his name. Helping people as he does. Almost sounds like a TV series idea to me. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 ![]() ![]() ![]() (From Weekend Movie Marathon: Black & White on June 25th, 2011) Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd16. Lucky Leon (3/12/95) Jimmy is arrested for murder, Superman is accused of stealing nuclear warheads and as assistant DA discovers Clark Kent's secret identity. But here's the big news: Lois and Clark share a first date...and a first kiss! My Thoughts: This is a real good episode that a lot happens on. It was pretty fun watching Lois and Clark deal with their first date. Before watching this episode again I had forgotten not only how Assistant DA Drake found out that Clark being Superman... but also that this episode ends in those 3 oh so famous words... To Be Continued... My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 17. Resurrection (3/19/95) Searching for Assistant DA Mayson Drake's killer, Lois and Clark encounter a dark plot involving faked deaths, escape convicts and a hunky government, agent who finds Lois captivating. My Thoughts: This is a good conclusion to the last episode.I enjoyed it quite a bit. Unfortunately this is also the episode that introduces the character of Dan Scardino... the government agent mentioned above. That is one character I just never liked. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 18. Tempus Fugitive (3/26/95) H.G. Wells drops in - via his time machine - and gives Lois and Clark a glimpse of a surprising world to come. Then they race to the past to save baby Superman from a deadly fugitive from the future. My Thoughts: This is a great episode. Talk about fun! I enjoyed every minute of it... but I especially enjoyed Tempus' who routine of telling Lois how galatically stupid she is... and that Clark is Superman. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 19. Target: Jimmy Olsen! (4/2/95) The most dangerous man in Metropolis is Jimmy Olsen? Injected with a synthetic virus when he was an infant, Jimmy comes under the power of evildoers who transform him into a mind-controlled assassin. My Thoughts: Not bad... it is an enjoyable episode. I really liked the character of Sarah who was also injected with the synthetic virus. I thought she made a good companion for Jimmy. Unfortunately if I remember correctly we don't see her again. This is the second episode with Scardino... and nope... still don't like that guy.
