License to Kill, a review by Dragonfire

James Bond turns renegade to hunt down a master criminal in this pulse-pounding thrill-ride that's packed with awesome stunts, subtle humour and explosive confrontations. Timothy Dalton brings urgency, charm and deadly determination to his portrayal of the superagent, who leaves the British Secret Service and begins a fierce vendetta after his friend Felix Leiter (David Hedison) is brutally attacked by drug lord Franz Sanchez (Robert Davi).

My Thoughts

Ok..I just did not like this movie at all.  I tried and gave it a chance, but I was so bored with it I kept watching the clock and I can't imagine watching it again.  The plot had potential, but I just didn't care for the way it was handled.  I get that James and Felix have been friends for a long time, but James seemed more upset by what happened to Felix than he had with what happened to Tracey and that just seems wrong to me.  There was a minor reference to her and at first I thought there was going to be something with James having to deal with unresolved feelings tied to what happened to her after he was the one that found Della ..or Delia..whatever.  I think that would have made the movie better instead of just having Bond on a revenge mission.  He was done right vicious at times, and I didn't think that fit the character right.  I just didn't like it.  Dalton is ok, but he just isn't James to me like the other actors have managed to be.  The women aren't impressive at all and were just annoying.  The theme song and the music in general sucked.  The only good thing about the movie was when Q turned up and ended p playing a bigger part. 



Oh...I'm watching Serenity on Sci-fi right now and according to a commercial, 2 Bond movies are going to be on the channel in a few days.  Since when is Bond sci-fi?

I have always been a fan of disaster movies... including the low budget ones you see a lot on SyFy Channel. (And I am still not used to the new spelling for SyFy Channel!) Matter of fact this movie is a TV movie that originally aired on the SyFy Channel. This one stars Brittany Murphy. It is one of her last roles before her untimely death. There is a couple other familiar faces in this one. There is Eriq La Salle who played Dr. Peter Benton on ER and Justin Hartley who played Oliver Queen on Smallville. I enjoyed this movie quite a bit... but one thing I had a problem with through-out this movie was Brittany Murphy as a seismologist. Not that her acting was bad or anything like that... but I just felt her size and how young she looked just worked against her in this role. Sure... there is some unbelievable stuff in this movie. But that is pretty much true about any of these type of disaster movie. I really enjoyed both storylines in this movie. Dr. Amy Lane and her team trying to stop the earthquake as well as her husband and child trying to survive the earthquakes as they make their way home. While I wouldn't say it is the best movie of it's kind... I did find it to be well worth watching.

Sliders Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

13. MURDER MOST FOUL
On a world where R&R takes the form of Fantasy Island-style vacations, The Professor finds himself in the role of a detective.

My Thoughts:
This is a very good episode. One of my favorites. I like the whole Jack the Ripper storyline. And having Professor Arturo being a Sherlock Holmes like character was good.

My Rating:

14. SLIDE LIKE AN EGYPTIAN
On a world where ancient Egypt never fell from grace, the Sliders are experimented on and terrorized by a giant scarab beetle.

My Thoughts:
Another good episode. This is the first time (that I remember at least) that they missed the slide. I also enjoyed the life after death experience that Quinn went through.

My Rating:

15. PARADISE LOST
The Sliders land in a town where no one lives to be over 35 ... for good reason.

My Thoughts:
Another one of my favorite episodes. It is like a twist on the Tremor movies.

My Rating:

16. THE EXODUS (Part 1)
An Earth is threatened by a passing pulsar, and sliding is being developed as a way to save some Americans - but Colonel Rickman, in charge of deciding who stays and who goes, is also mysteriously and systematically putting people into comas.

My Thoughts:
Another excellent episode. And the introduction of Maggie... who is to become the newest regular slider. I like how you see multiple worlds in this episode as they search for a new world for the survivors of the doomed world.

My Rating:
