My Thoughts:

This one is pretty much as I expected. A very basic story line. Nothing more then ex-Marine has trouble dealing with normal life back home... he and his wife decides to go on trip... Wife gets taken hostage by a group of criminals... they pissed off the wrong Marine. Nothing more then a pure action flick. That being said, I found I really enjoyed it. A good film when you just want to forget about things in your life... not think and just get lost in a no brainer film.

My Thoughts:
I had a little time so went ahead and popped this one in. It is part of a 4 movie set called The Orignal Nancy Drew Movie Mystery Collection. The first thing I did was watch the trailer... which worried me as the quality of the trailer was terrible. Didn't look like t was cleaned up at all. Thankfully you could easily tell they did on the film itself. Though there was still a few minor problems with the film. Mostly just pausing for a second or two here and there. The film itself was right good. I definitely enjoyed it. I thought Bonita Granville was right good in the title role. Even if I am more used to the '70s version of Nancy Drew. The storyline kept my interest from beginning to end. Now I just have to watch the other 3 film in the series. Recommend checking it out for an entertaining classic film.

Tom's TV Pilots marathon, a review by Tom


     Family Ties: Season One (1982/United States)
IMDb | Wikipedia

(United States)
Length:530 min.
Video:Full Frame 1.33:1
Audio:English: Dolby Digital 1
Subtitles:


Plot:
Loving parents Steven (Michael Gross) and Elyse Keaton (Meredith Baxter Birney) raise their kids with open hearts and open minds. Growing up in the 1960s, Mom and Dad share a liberal point of view, and guide their family with the ideals and convictions of flower power at its best. Their offspring, however, have different ideas. Eldest son Alex P. Keaton is an over-achieving, hard-core Republican, and clashes with his parents at every turn. Mallory is a fashion-loving, boy-crazy teen struggling through high school, while little sister Jennifer is the precocious tomboy who always speaks her mind. Together, they share the moments that make them laugh, make them cry...and make them family.


Family Ties
1.01 Pilot (1982-09-22)
Writer: Gary David Goldberg (Writer)
Director: Asaad Kelada
Cast: Meredith Baxter Birney (Elyse), Michael Gross (Steven), Michael J. Fox (Alex), Justine Bateman (Mallory), Tina Yothers (Jennifer), Cindy Fisher (Kimberly Blanton), John Petlock (Mr. Blanton), Toni Sawyer (Mrs. Blanton), Maurice Marsac (Roger)

A good start to a series I enjoy watching, but never really got into it. The only reason I watch it is because I think Michael J. Fox is great in it.
