The Frighteners, a review by RossRoy

Original Title: The Frighteners Year: 1996 Country: New Zealand Director: Peter Jackson (1961) Rating: R Length: 123 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.35:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital 5.1, Commentary: Dolby Digital Surround Subtitles: English, French, Spanish

What they say
Michael J. Fox stars as Frank Bannister, a small-town "ghostbuster" in league with the very spirits he's supposed to be exorcising. The scam works well until a powerful spirit goes on a muderous rampage, forcing Frank to find a way to stop the diabolical ghoul in this special-effects-packed supernatural chiller that's so fiendishly entertaining, it's frightening!

My Thoughts
This movie is a complete blast! I loved every minute of it! From beginning to end! Everybody is just great in it, but I particularly liked Jeffrey Combs as the FBI agent. But it's no surprise. I mean, can this guy be bad in anything? Everything I've seen him in, he's great! And here is no exception!

Oh and, I think I'm in love : Trini Alvarado

 

Another winner for Peter Jackson. 

To think that this movie led directly to Lord of the Rings. Peter Jackson says so in the introduction. Lord of the Rings started being conceived during post-production of this movie. He needed a project that would make use of all the computers he bought.

Waterloo, a review by Rich

Bonjour Belgium and Waterloo...



Title: Waterloo

Runtime:128
Certificate:U
Year:1970
Genres:Action, Adventure, War

Plot:Napoleon's abduction and his exile to Elba: his dramatic escape, his reunion with his devoted troops and their generals. His last, desperate bid for ultimate power and glory, so narrowly defeated in the fields of Waterloo.
'Waterloo' is a film on an epic scale with a cast to match. Rod Steiger, Christopher Plummer, Orson Welles and Jack Hawkins all contribute fine portraits of great men against a magnificent backdrop of battle and bloodshed.
My Review:
Classic Epic war film, Rod Steiger and Christopher Plummer are excellent in the lead roles, the movie has lost nothing since I viewed it last on a vhs. Action filled history

Tom's Random Star Trek Reviews, a review by Tom

Enterprise
Season 1.11 Cold Front
Writer: Gene Roddenberry (Original Characters By), Rick Berman (Created By), Brannon Braga (Created By), Stephen Beck (Writer), Tim Finch (Writer)
Director: Robert Duncan McNeill
Cast: Scott Bakula (Jonathan Archer), John Billingsley (Dr. Phlox), Jolene Blalock (T'Pol), Dominic Keating (Malcolm Reed), Anthony Montgomery (Travis Mayweather), Linda Park (Hoshi Sato), Connor Trinneer (Charles "Trip" Tucker III), John Fleck (Silik), Matt Winston (Daniels), Michael O'Hagan (Captain Fraddock), Joseph Hindy (Prah Mantoos), Leonard Keely-Young (Sonsorra), Lamont D. Thompson (N.D. Alien Pilgrim)

Finally I arrived at the last Star Trek series to watch its time-travel episodes. In this one, there is a crewman who claims to be from 900 years in the future trying to capture a saboteur. It is not really something new, but it is an okay episode which sets up the temporal cold war storyline of the series.
