Spider-Man 3, a review by Tom
Stars: Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man/Peter Parker Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson James Franco as New Goblin/Harry Osborn Thomas Haden Church as Sandman/Flint Marko Topher Grace as Venom/Eddie Brock Awards: Won:

My Thoughts: When the movie was first released, I was really disappointed with it. Now a few years later I thought I'd give it another chance. It is better than I remembered it being. But it has its major flaws. Biggest of which is the handling of Venom and Peter Parker's affection with the symbiont. I have the feeling it is the director's way of saying "screw you" to the studio executives who insisted to include Venom against the director's wishes.In this movie also Gwen Stacy appears, played by Bryce Dallas Howard. I enjoyed Emma Stone's portayal of her in the new Spider-Man movie much more, though.

My Thoughts: Last year I watched this movie on On-Demand and mentioned how I would like to add it to my collection. Not long later a friend of mine sent me the box set containing parts 2-5. While it may not be quite as good as the first Child's Play... I still like this one quite a bit. Like how it takes place shortly after part one. And I like the main storyline. I also thought the teen girl was a good addition to this one. It's a good, entertaining way to waste an hour and a half!My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 (From What Movies I Been Watching on January 25th, 2012) "In The Beginning" TV Pilot Marathon, a review by RogmeisterThe Young Riders Pilot The Young Riders was a western series from the 1990s that lasted (I think) about 3 seasons. It dealt with a young group of riders for the Pony Express who ran a route on horseback delivering precious mail in their saddle bags. Among the riders were a few notable names...William F. Cody (later to be known as Buffalo Bill) and Wild Bill Hickok...Jesse James would show up on the series in a later season. Among the young cast were Josh Brolin, Stephen Baldwin and Ty Miller. Yvonne Suhor played Lou, a young woman posing as a man trying to earn enough to buy her own home and get her brother and sister out of an orphanage to join her. The way station was managed by the grizzled Teaspoon, played by veteran actor Anthony Zerbe and Melissa Leo played Claire who was the young riders' mother hen as well as the one who cooked food for them. In this pilot episode, we meet all these characters and see them cross paths with a dangerous group of desperadoes. One of the male riders discovers Lou's secret but keeps it. The young cast is engaging and I can see where it was popular enough to last 3 or 4 seasons. One of these days I want to learn more about the real Pony Express which, if I remember correctly, actually had a very short existance. John Debny provided a lively score.
