Plot:
They trained body and mind for America's leap into space. When the moment came, the brash flyboys of Team Daedalus were replaced. Now, 40 years later, another moment has come. And this time, it's all theirs.
Directing for the 22nd time and starring for the 42nd, Clint Eastwood leads a stellar cast into orbit in this exhilarating high-tech adventure. Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland and James Garner join him as old-school test pilots whose grasp of outdated technology makes them the only ones able to repair a primitive, deorbiting Russian satellite that imperils Earth. Strap in for "some of the rightest stuff around" (The Wall Street Journal). With an irresistible payload of heart, humor and heroics, Space Cowboys is all-systems-go.

My Thoughts:
This is a film I enjoyed quite a bit. It was very well done and has an all star cast that just work great together.While it is a longer then average film, it is so interesting it just don't feel that way. I found all the characters to be appropriately likable... and even if the story is a bit far fetched they somehow make it believable at the same time. If you never seen it... this is one I definitely recommending seeing.

Lady for a Day, a review by Antares
Lady for a Day (1933) 74/100
It's a shame that hardly anyone remembers Warren William today, an actor who, at the beginning of the sound era, was as popular as Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy or Cary Grant would be at the end of the thirties. A contract player at Warner Bros., he eschewed the notoriety and the limelight, and was happy to get his assignment, make the film, and go home. On loan to Columbia, he stars with May Robson in Frank Capra's first hit film, with an adapted screenplay by Robert Riskin of a Damon Runyon short story. Robson plays Apple Annie, a somewhat dowdy peddler who sells apples on the street during the Great Depression. Her best customer is Dave the Dude, a professional gambler who believes that Annie's apples bring him good luck. Sound familiar? Capra would remake the film in 1961 with Bette Davis and Glenn Ford and call it Pocketful of MiraclesTeal = Masterpiece
Dark Green = Classic or someday will be
Lime Green = A good, entertaining film
Orange = Average
Red = Cinemuck
Brown = The color of crap, which this film is

Plot:
You're about to be collected. "Winningly eccentric" (LA Daily News) and "insistently irreverent" (People), this groundbreaking, original series delivers you into a realm of shockingly funny characters and twisted narratives you'll find completely "addictive" (NY Daily News)!
When an errant toilet seat from the falling Mir Space Station puts an abrupt end to her life, George (Ellen Muth) discovers that death is nothing like she thought it would be. Recruited to collect the souls of others as they die, she suddenly finds herself an unwilling participant in a line of work she never knew existed: Grim Reaping!

Good pilot to a good series. Sadly it only lasted two seasons. Luckily there is a TV movie made a few years later, which brings some closure to the characters.
