Air Force One, a review by DJ Doena

Synopsis: James Marshall is the POTUS and he has just declared a zero-tolerance policy against terrorists. When he is on his way back from Moscow aboard Air Force One, the plane is hijacked by russian terrorists. But Marshall isn't just any president , he is Vietnam veteran and Medal of Honor winner and he takes the plane back.

My Opinion: "Liberty 2-4 is changing call sign. Liberty 2-4 is now Air Force One!" The intersting thing about this movie is that it isn't over when the bad guy was killed. I think Gary Oldman was an excellent villain and what he said regarding "killing with a button" was absolutely true in my opinion. The action sequences on board were very well done and the Rammstein landing looked excellent. What did look bad was the final crash of the plane into the sea.

All-in-all:

GoldenEye, a review by Dragonfire

Goldeneye



The effortlessly suave and sophisticated Pierce Brosnan makes his acclaimed debut as Agent 007 in this rip-roaring espionage thriller featuring the most eye-popping opening sequence yet! When an MI6 agent (Sean Bean) turns rogue and plans world domination with a terrifying satellite-borne weapon, Bond must pursue his former ally to Cuba, Monte Carlo, Switzerland and even Russia, all whilst dodging a sexy, deadly femme fatale (Famke Janssen) who will stop at nothing to put the 'squeeze' on the intrepid spy!

My Thoughts

I did get a longer review posted on Epinions.

Goldeneye

I hadn't realized it had been this long since I last posted about one of the Bond movies.  Sorry about that.

"Stargate SG-1" Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Synopsis: The Galarans have developed a device that can implant memories. This could become an easy way to train new pilots in a matter of weeks. But then Mitchell is accused of murder and he can remember doing it. Due to his immunity there will be no trial but he insists on clearing his name.

My Opinion: It was nice to learn something about Cameron's background an his life before the Antarctica battle. And they made me suspect the wrong person. But the Galarans made the wrong choice at the end of the episode. If I can avoid being punished just because I can't remember what I did - what would stop me of doing it again and make me forget again?

Synopsis: SG-1 returns from a mission but in the debriefing they insist that Selmak is still alive. But then SG-1 returns from a mission. And another SG-1 returns from a mission. And another SG-1...

My Opinion: Great episode. I liked it a lot, especially to see some characters again (Martouf, Dr. Frasier). I also liked the Asgard, he (she?) was really funny. Too bad, they didn't make an expanded version of the episode, with all the materials they had to cut out.

Synopsis: Strange things happen within the Jaffa High Council. A motion for more democracy is voted down by members who have been in favour of it just recently. Teal'c wants to get to the bottom of things and disappears.
Meanwhile an old friend of Cameron's who should have been on the F-302 program is dying and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

My Opinion: A very emotional episode which I also liked. Both parts of the story worked very well. I even had to admit that Ba'al may have a point when he proposed his plan to Teal'c.
