Plot:
When sexy Ceebee Beaumont (Carolyn Brandt), main squeeze of rockabilly superstar Lonnie Lord (Ron Haydock), is kidnapped by the Chain Gang, Lonnie and his friend Titus Twimbly leap into leotards and swing into action as Rat Pfink and Boo Boo, champions of downtrodden women and children everywhere!

This movie is the perfect exemple of why I love those old unknown movies. This movie was made with no budget and its clearly visible, but if you remember I've already wrote that I ask only thing to a movie, I want to be entertaint by it.

This film is a lot of fun! The cast enjoy making it and we easilly see it. The story is simple (it's a super hero movie!). The music is great. Carolyn Brandt had never look more beautifull and she's always good looking now. No violence at all in this, just a good familly film (if your familly like my genre of film). A movie that I could watch with my five years old niece if she would talking in english.

Sure I recommand it, you got 2 super hero, a great sixties soundtrack, a party at the beach, a nice looking woman, a funny story, a cast who cares and, as a bonus, a man in a gorilla suit.

Taking the risk to shocking some of you : I have enjoyed this movie thousands time more than Spider Man

One Night Stand, a review by Rich

One Night Stand



Max is a happily married and successful man with two healthy children. However, on a business trip to New York, he meets the beautiful Karen and they embark on a brief affair. On his return home he finds his life different and he begins to withdraw from the people closest to him, even though he and Karen had vowed to forget the relationship. A year later he returns to New York to comfort his hospitalised best-friend and finds himself face-to-face with Karen...

Better than I anticipated, Snipes was the wrong lead for this film, but the other characters were convincing, and Downey in particular gives a strong and moving performance.
A good storyline, basically an inter-racial NY romance, developing into more following the surprise meeting of the couple with their partners at a dying mans hospital bed.
I am not to aware of Mike Figgis' work, but on the back of this will try and source Leaving Las Vegas, which critically was more successful than this movie.

Tom's Random Star Trek Reviews, a review by Tom

Star Trek: The Next Generation
2.13 Time Squared
Writer: Maurice Hurley (Screenwriter), Kurt Michael Bensmiller (Original Material By)
Director: Joseph L. Scanlan
Cast: Patrick Stewart (Capt. Jean-Luc Picard), Jonathan Frakes (Cmdr. William Riker), LeVar Burton (Lt. Geordi La Forge), Michael Dorn (Lt. Worf), Marina Sirtis (Counselor Deanna Troi), Brent Spiner (Lt. Commander Data), Wil Wheaton (Wesley Crusher), Diana Muldaur (Doctor Pulaski), Colm Meaney (Chief O'Brien)

The first real time-travel episode of The Next Generation. And it just doesn't make sense. Even the characters try to find an explanation at the end without success ("Maybe it is..., or maybe it was an illustion..."). Added to that Picard is really grumpy in this one (even more than it was usual in the early episodes).
