Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, a review by Tom

Time flies when you're having fun. Party on dudes!

Ted "Theodore" Logan (Reeves) and Bill S. Preston Esquire (Winter) won't graduate if they don't do well in their history presentation. This would be both bogus and uncool! A dude called Rufus comes from the future in a telephone box to help them, as their lives are important to the future of mankind! The two jump in and out of different ease, collecting historical figures (from Socrates to Billy the Kid), confronting then with West Coast culture and generally being excellent!

Saturn (1990)  Best Science Fiction Film

My Thoughts:
A fun light-hearted comedy which plays nicely with time-travel. Making things appear because they decide to put it there in the future :)
Meeting themselves in the beginning to show them, that time-travel is real :)
George Carlin is great as Rufus. "Volle Kanne, Hoschi!" (this is how "Party on, dude!" was translated in the German version and became a catchphrase for a while here in Germany). Alex Winter always reminds me of Michael Schumacher :laugh:

My Thoughts:

This is one I haven't seen in years. Finally got it in my collection. It is about as fun as I remember it being. It is a good spoof with lots of familiar faces. Definitely worth the time put in to watch it.

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


TNG 7.25 All Good Things...
Writer: Ronald D. Moore (Writer), Brannon Braga (Writer)
Director: Winrich Kolbe
Cast: Patrick Stewart (Capt. Jean-Luc Picard), Jonathan Frakes (Cmdr. William T. Riker), LeVar Burton (Lt. Cmdr. Geordi La Forge), Michael Dorn (Lieutenant Worf), Gates McFadden (Dr. Beverly Crusher), Marina Sirtis (Counselor Deanna Troi), Brent Spiner (Lt. Commander Data), John de Lancie (Q), Andreas Katsulas (Tomalak), Clyde Kusatsu (Admiral Nakamura), Patti Yasutake (Nurse Ogawa), Denise Crosby (Tasha Yar), Colm Meaney (O'Brien), Pamela Kosh (Jessel), Tim Kelleher (Lt. Gaines), Alison Brooks (Ensign Chilton), Stephen Matthew Garvin (Ensign), Majel Barrett (Computer Voice (voice))

A great conclusion to the series and to the TNG Q story arc. With showing us three different time periods, we get the chance to see old characters (Tasha, O'Brien) and we get to see a possible future for our characters. And with continuing the trial from the pilot episode, Q wraps up the series nicely.
