My Thoughts:
First let me say... yes part 2 is just as cheesy as the first. In the second movie Connie Sellecca takes over one of the main roles playing Dr. Wendy Day... replacing Heather Menzies. They also get Christopher Lee to play the main villain... which is cool. And I enjoyed the storyline quite a bit. Captain America does throws his shield on more then one occasion in this one. Making up for not doing so in the previous movie. I do think, though, Captain America throwing his motorcycle up on to a high wall with it landing softly and prefctly... and that the motorcycle turning into a glider was a bit much... even for me. But that was only one short scene... so didn't take away from the movie much. Over all I enjoyed watching it if for nothing more then the nostalgia.

Genre: Comedy, Horror, Musical
Overview:Little Shop of HorrorsMy Thoughts:
What a great little fun film! It's the only musical I know that has a carnivorous plant bent on world propagation. The cast is great, and the tunes are so catchy - I've had "Feed Me" in the back of my mind since I first saw this film in the 80's.
Really recommend watching the director's cut instead of the theatrical release, and that cut makes it well worth the upgrade to blu-ray. The original ending is much, much better (and darker). Recommended for fans of musicals and monster movies everywhere.
Bechdel Test: Fail

Babylon 5: Marathon, a review by DJ Doena
Disc 6
Rising Star
Synopsis: Marcus sacrificed his own life to rescue Ivanova with the alien healing device (see "The Quality of Merci"). Sheridan has to answer for his actions against his own government. Meanwhile Garibaldi is on the search for Lise Hampton-Edgers and Delenn makes a proposal to EarthGov.
My opinion: The great storylines are over. The Firt Ones are gone. Minbar is peaceful again. Earth is free. Mars is free. Everytime I see that episode I know it's over. Yes there is another season, but it isn't the same anymore. A very good second to last episode.
The Deconstruction of Falling Stars
Synopsis: In german the episode is called "In Hundred, In Thousand Years" and that's pretty descriptive. The episode shows what will happen over the next year, in a hundred years, in five hundred years, in a thousand years, in a million years.
My opinion: As I explained earlier JMS wasn't sure whether there would be a fifth season. The final episode "Sleeping in Light" was shot with the fourth season. But then it became clear that JMS got the OK for another season and SiL was moved to the end of season 5. As a replacement this episode was shot. Most people don't like it but I always thought it to be a good episode. I really liked the university discussion, the abbey and the end of the episode.
Quote of the episode:
Last man on Earth: "This is how the world ends. Swallowed in fire, but not in darkness. You will live on. The voice of all our ancestors, the voice of our fathers and our mothers to the last generation. We created the world we think you would've wished for us. And now we leave the cradle for the last time."
Season analysis: Another great season. Second only to the third season. Both seasons togaether are one of the best pieces of Science-Fiction I've ever seen.
