I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer, a review by Jimmy

I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer



Disclaimer

I didn't want to take movie sequel in my marathon, but one is slip on the list and I will do it anyway. For those who ignore this film is the 3rd in a series who began in 1997 with "I know what you did last summer", as the film has been a success a sequel was made the next year (I still know what you did last summer). This sequel was poor and ridiculous and it was a failure. Eight years later a second sequel  was release directly on DVD.

Rating : 1/5 (I'm generous, watching the nightime infopublicity is more rewarding)

Planet Blood, a review by Jimmy

Title : Planet Blood (2008)

Overview
After a comet struck the Earth, destroying most of the populace, a man Justin lives alone in his house, haunted by fear and guilt. As he fights with his inner demons, he also must deal with swarns of flesh-eating vampires who appeared from the bowels of the Earth after the apocalypse.

My Impression
This one is short (50 minutes without the end credit), but this is certainly the first one that I've really appreciated in those 50 movies set. Of course it isn't perfect and have come weakness like the use of CGI to represent the blood when a vampire is killed or a couple of jump cut because of the editing. But the good acting of Brett Kelly, the fast moving of the film (not that the action is fast, more that the story is fast), the general melancholic tone of the film and the ending make up for the weakness.

Nice short (too short) Canadian movie who owe probably a lot to "The Last Man on Earth" for its inspiration (I've never seen the original or the 2 remakes).

Rating :

According to imdb this film doesn't exist, so maybe I review only one of my dream

Babylon 5: Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Synopsis: Lyta and Dr. Franklin have arrived on Mars with a shipload of frozen teeps who were altered by the Shadows. Meanwhile Sheridan is lured to Mars were his father is held captive and Garibaldi learns of the plans that William Edgers has for the teeps.

My opinion: Garibaldi is fucked. He cannot be held responsible for his actions but nobody will believe him. And why? Bester! But seriously: I can understand Bester's motives. He cares a lot about "his" teeps. Although it's hard for me to understand why both Edgers and Bester see the teeps as a different species.


Synopsis: Sheridan is being interrogated.

My opinion: Short synopsis? Yes. But great episode. It's practically a two man show featuring Sheridan and his interrogator. But Bruce Gray plays his role perfectly. I wouldn't want him to interrogate me. ;-)

If a fifth season would have been for sure at this time, this episode would have been the season finale. But since it wasn't for sure, JMS wanted to make sure that his story is properly finished.


Synopsis: Garibaldi can convince Lyta, Franklin and the Mars resistance that he was reprogrammed by the Psi Corps. Then they try to break out Sheridan. Meanwhile Ivanova has to deal with advanced Earth Force destroyers that are anhanced with Shadow technology.

My opinion: The race for Earth is coming to an end. But as Indiana Jones said "That's usually when the ground falls out from underneath your feet". And while they technically had won the battle they had heavy losses. In my opinion it was necessary to see that Sheridan's forces are not entirely unbeatable, that makes it more believable.

Quote of the episode:
Ivanova: "I am Susan Ivanova. Commander. Daughter of Andrei and Sophie Ivanov. I am the right hand of vengeance and the boot that's gonna kick your sorry ass all the way back to Earth, sweetheart. I am death incarnate.  And the last living thing that you are ever going to see. God sent me."


Synopsis: The final attack on Mars and Earth begins. First the Earth destroyer fleet over Mars is taken out with the help of the frozen teeps, then Sheridan takes on Earth directly. Meanwhile, Marcus is making a hard decision.

My opninion: "Prepare for ramming speed." Sheridan is also aware of the third principle of sentient life (see "A Voice in the Wilderness"). He would have sacrificed himself. He did it before on Z'ha'dum and was ready to do it again. Great episode, although it was a bit implausible that nobody on Earth was able to deactivate the defense grid.
