Enemy Mine, a review by addicted2dvd

Enemy Mine
In this visually stunning sci-fi adventure, two warriors engaged in a savage, futuristic war between Earth and the planet Dracon, crash-land on a desolate, fiery planet. At first, the human (Dennis Quaid) and his reptilian, alien opponent (Louis Gossett, Jr.) are intent on destroying each other. But after battling the elements and each other, the two stranded pilots gradually realize that the only way either of them will survive is to overcome their undying hatred.

My Thoughts:
This is another movie I have not seen since it originally came out. Another movie that I did remember enjoying... but did not remember much else about it. My memory served me well as this is a great movie. A movie with a message. There was some slow parts... yes... but they were few and far between. This is much more then a Sci-Fi Adventure... it is a really good story of friendship. Unfortunately there is not much here for extras... but they do give us the Theatrical Trailer.

The Lost Boys, a review by Dragonfire

The Lost Boys



Sam and his older brother Michael are all-American teens with all-American interests. But after they move with their mother to peaceful Santa Carla, California, things mysteriously begin to change. Michael's not himself lately.  And Mom's not going to like what he's turning into.
The Lost Boys reshapes vampire tradition, deftly mixing heart-pounding terror, rib-tickling laughs and a body-gyrating rock soundtrack. Under Joel Schumacher's direction, a marvelous cast - Jason Patric, Jami Gertz, Kiefer Sutherland, Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, Barnard Hughes and Edward Herrmann - stakes you to gleefully ghoulish entertainment.

My Thoughts

I did get a review posted on Epinions last year.

"Stargate SG-1" Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Synopsis: While Jack is still with the Tok'ra , Sam gets an mysterious call from a scientist. This scientist is somehow connected to Adrian Conrad and Sam, Teal'c and Jonas drive to a small town to find out what is going on.

My Opinion: Nice The X Files episode. I especially liked the part where Sam pretended to be a Goa'uld ans slapped Jonas in the face.

Synopsis: Jack and his symbiote have tried to free the Lo'tar (the highest rank among human slaves, in this case a woman) of Ba'al but they only partly succeed. Shortly before both get captured the symbiote leaves Jack and Jack gets captured. Then he is tortured by Ba'al who wants to find out what they were doing there. Jack's only support is Daniel who cannot be corporeal (due to his ascension) but can be seen and talked to.

My Opinion: I have no clue what the purpose of this episode was. Ba'al tortures Jack and Daniel tries to pull him through it by talking to him. But the conversations weren't interesting.

Synopsis: The Kelownans (Jonas's people) come to Earth and ask for help. The other two states on this planet are negiotiating a non-aggression pact and the Kelownans are afraid that they will be attacked afterwards. But Jonas's old professor is a member of a secret organisation that tries to create an enduring peace on the planet.

My Opinion: While I liked to see Dean Stockwell (Al in Quantum Leap) again, this episode was also not that interesting.

Synopsis: Three scientists, Felger, Coombs and Meyers are researching a ring transporter on a planet when they are ordered back through the Stargate by SG-1. SG-1 is attacked by an Al'kesh and gets captured. Felger decides to follow them with Coombs in tow.

My Opinion: Great episode. The both of them in these unfitting Jaffa uniforms and the ridiculously painted tattoo and the many Star Trek references (Roddenberry, Redshirts, ...) - I loved to watch them. Especially because Coombs is played by John Billingsley (Dr. Phlox in Star Trek: Enterprise).
