I got this one on a spur of the moment impulse buy... mainly got it because it was very cheap and the overview on the back cover sounded slightly interesting. I found it to be a fun movie... I have seen better romantic comedies... but feel this one is above average. Definitely worth the time put in to watch it. It is a cute story with a few funny moments.

The Man with the Golden Gun, a review by Dragonfire

James Bond has been marked for death, and he'll need all his lethal instincts and seductive charm to survive in this action-packed adventure! Roger Moore returns as Agent 007 and faces off in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with assassin Francisco Scaramanga (Christopher Lee). Featuring a wild automobile chase though Bangkok and Bond's stunning confrontation with an entire martial-arts school. 'The Man With the Golden Gun' delivers nonstop excitement!

My Thoughts

This one is entertaining, though a few things didn't work as well for me.  That annoying Sheriff turning up on vacation and going along on the one chase with James didn't work at all for me.  I didn't like the guy in Live and Let Die either.  The character were ok, though none really stood out that much to me.  I agree about expecting Nick Nack to start going on about the plane.  I'm not sure why, but he just didn't seem that ...effective as bad guy to me.  The action was fine and did keep things interesting.  Once again, a beautiful woman ended up running around in a bikini during the final climax.  At least Scaramanga did say he made her wear that to make sure she didn't have any hidden weapons..but still it was a bit stupid.

I still need to watch all the extras.  I'll get to that before I post a longer review on Epinions.

Overall it was an entertaining movie.

Sliders Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

8. THE KING IS BACK
It looks like "The King Is Back" when Rembrandt is mistaken for a long-deceased rock legend, but an old enemy would like to see the Crying Man disappear again--permanently.

My Thoughts:
This one... while a decent episode... is not one I enjoy as much as most. Basically a bit too much music for my taste.

My Rating:

9. LUCK OF THE DRAW
Wade finds that she has money to burn when she wins the lottery in a seemingly utopian world, but she soon discovers that her silver cloud has a very dark lining.

My Thoughts:
This one is a good episode. I liked the storyline... even if it has been told before.  As Professor Arturo said in the episode... if something seems to good to be true... then it probably is.

My Rating:



1. INTO THE MYSTIC
With Quinn seriously injured from a gunshot wound, the Sliders search for a doctor on what appears to be the strangest Earth they've yet seen. The only one they can find is a witch doctor, who tells them about the all powerful sorcerer who is said to have the knowledge about sliding. The sliders set out upon a journey a la "The Wizard of Oz" to his castle beyond the Golden Gargoyle Gate bridge to find the sorcerer in the hopes of finding their way home.

My Thoughts:
The first episode of the second season isa good.. if not a bit weird episode. And the ending of this episode...you know it had to happen sooner or later.

My Rating:

11. LOVE GODS
In a world where germ warfare has exterminated most of the male population, Quinn, Rembrandt and Arturo discover that they've been pegged as runaway "breeders," and every nation of the world wants to capture them.

My Thoughts:
This one is not a bad episode... but not a favorite either. It pretty much feels like no more then a filler episode.

My Rating:
