My Thoughts:
I think the gimmick, that Nic Cage's character can see two minutes into the future, has been executed well in this movie. I am not sure if I like the ending or not.

But it works in the frame of the story.

I hadn't realized that Peter Falk still made an appearence in such a recent movie. Nice to see him again.

The Terrornauts, a review by GSyren


TitleThe Terrornauts (5-027626-393946)
DirectorMontgomery Tully
ActorsSimon Oates, Zena Marshall, Charles Hawtrey, Patricia Hayes, Stanley Meadows
Produced1967 in United Kingdom
Runtime74 minutes
AudioEnglish Dolby Digital Mono
SubtitlesNone
Overview
My thoughtsThe Terrornauts is an old Amicus film that has all the production values of a vintage Dr. Who episode. Cheap, that is. It's a rather bizarre science fiction story, but not without entertainment value. Being a big Carry On fan, I was rather surprised to see Charles Hawtree in a sci-fi movie. The acting is just so-so. Apart from Hawtree, the only other actors I recognized were Zena Marshall (Miss Taro in Dr. NoPink Panther films). Special effects by Les Bowie, who seemed to work on anything from shoestring budget productions to big budget films like Superman, The Movie. This is definitely one of the former. OK as a bit of sixties nostalgia, if you can dig the really cheap look.
My rating

Babylon 5: Marathon, a review by DJ Doena


Season 5: Wheel of Fire

Disc 1

No Compromises

Synopsis: It is planned that the inauguration of President Sheridan will be take place on Babylon 5. But there is someone who has a faible for dead presidents. Meanwhile Captain Lochley arrives at the station as a replacement for Commander Ivanova. Also a group of telepaths arive and they are not Psi Corps.

My opinion: It was an ok introduction to the last season and I really liked G'Kar's way of getting the ceremony done.

The Very Long Night of Londo Mollari

Synopsis: One of the two hearts of Londo has given up and while they wait for a transplant, Londo lies in a coma where he has to face the things he has done or not prevented.

My opinion: A walk down on the sin road. I am not much of a fan of any dream or coma episode, they are often strange (and supposedly intended to be that way), but I don't like the idea that I have just to decide    subconsciously to wake up and suddenly wake up.

The Paragon of Animals

Synopsis: Sheridan tries to convince the members of the Interstellar Alliance to sign the Declaraton of Principles. But there is some resistance to do so. Meanwhile a planet on the border of Drazi space is attacked by Raiders and they ask Babylon 5 for help.

My opinion: This one as a fan of speeches I liked a lot. The writers did a excellent job in putting those words into G'Kar's mouth. Although I found it a bit unrealistic that the Drazi could be suddenly a thread to a large Whitestar fleet, even when they ambushed them.

A View From the Gallery

Synopsis: We watch the events of this episode through the eyes of the maintenance people Mack and Bo who work on the station And they have to repair all kind of things while an unknown force is attacking the station.

My opninion: Great episode. To switch the view from the main characters to some "by-standers" was a fantastic idea. Of course they had to cross paths with the mains, but the focus remained on them.

Quote of the episode:
Mack (to Bo about Londo and G'Kar): "So, how long you figure they've been married?"
