There's just one shopping day until Christmas! Fred is so wrapped up in his acting debut as Scrooge in the Bedrock production of A Christmas Carol that he's completely forgotten to buy any gifts. And worse, he's left baby Pebbles stranded at Cave Care Center! But wife Wilma and a few familiar ghosts perform a true Christmas miracle, helping hubby Fred remember the true meaning of the season. Join Barney, Betty, Bamm-Bamm and Dino in this hilarious, stone-age version of the magical holiday classic.

My Thoughts:
This is one I surprisingly don't remember ever seeing before. But it is a fun Christmas special. Well worth the time put in to watch it.

Ray Harryhausen: Special Effects Titan, a review by GSyren
| Title | Ray Harryhausen: Special Effects Titan |
 | |
| Year | 2011 |
| Director | Gilles Penso |
| Stars | Ray Harryhausen, Randy Cook, Peter Jackson, Nick Park, Phil Tippett and many others |
| Overview | |
| My thoughts | If you don't know who Ray Harryhausen is, you need to buy this title. If you do know who Ray Harryhausen is you need to buy this title. Ok, maybe that's a bit extreme, but the fact is that Ray Harryhausen is an extraordinary person who has had a HUGE impact on visual effects. If you are the least bit interested in visual effects you should learn about Ray Harryhausen. Today most effects are created with computer imagery, and there are often hundreds of people involved. Ray did it all himself. He was a one man visual effects studio. He was mainly a stop motion animator, and truly a great stop motion animator. His films inspired generations of stop motion animators. Without Ray we may never have seen Wallace and Gromit, Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline and ParaNorman. But he also inspired lots of other visual effects people. You can hear them tell how Ray's work was the thing that inspired them to go into the business. Ray Harryhausen is one of the very few technicians who has been elevated to a position above the directors of the films they worked on. If you ask people who made The 7th Voyage of Sinbad or Jason and the Argonauts, they'll most likely say Ray Harryhausen, not Nathan Juran or Don Chaffey. Me, I'm a long standing Harryhausen fan. I've got all his films on DVD (and some now on BD), almost all books published about him, and still I learned new stuff from this film. Unfortunately, this title seems to be region locked to region B. Sorry Achim! ;-) It's available from Amazon UK on DVD as well, but the DVD is actually more expensive than the BD. |

Tom's Random Star Trek Reviews, a review by Tom
Star Trek: Voyager
3.02 Flashback
Writer: Brannon Braga (Writer)
Director: David Livingston
Cast: Kate Mulgrew (Captain Kathryn Janeway), Robert Beltran (Commander Chakotay), Roxann Biggs-Dawson (Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres), Jennifer Lien (Kes), Robert Duncan McNeill (Lieutenant Tom Paris), Ethan Phillips (Neelix), Robert Picardo (The Doctor), Tim Russ (Lieutenant Tuvok), Garrett Wang (Ensign Harry Kim), Grace Lee Whitney (Commander Janice Rand), Jeremy Roberts (Lieutenant Dimitri Valtane), Boris Krutonog (Helmsman Lojur), Michael Ansara (Kang), George Takei (Captain Sulu)
Voyager's episode to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Star Trek. It cannot hold a candle to DS9's.
It is nice to have a crossover to classic Trek by revisiting Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. But I don't like the story about the Flashback surrounding it. They used the fact that Tim Russ played a character on Sulu's ship in Star Trek VI. Too bad that it wasn't Tuvok but a human character.
