Wyatt Earp, a review by addicted2dvd

Wyatt Earp


My Thoughts:
This is one of the MANY Western movies I never seen. But it is also one I have been wanting to see for a while now. I found this to be a very strong (not to mention long) movie. It is a very well made movie that looks stunning. The story is very well told. Of course this is coming from someone not familiar with the story... just going by my enjoyment of the story. And lots of familiar faces. Including one I was surprised to see. That is Mark Harmon (Johnny Behan) who stars in one of my favorite current TV series... NCIS.

As long as this movie is... it never failed to hold my attention. Even though the picture on this movie for the most part looked fantastic on my cheap 20in standard TV... it is not without it's problems. most the night scenes (and there were plenty) was a bit too dark... making hard for me to follow everything that was going on. But over all I enjoyed every minute of this movie... and thrilled I now have it in my collection.

The Maltese Falcon, a review by Rich

a quick dip into Malta



Title: The Maltese Falcon

Runtime:100
Certificate:NR
Year:1941
Genres:Suspense/Thriller, Drama, Classic

Plot:My Review:
From the great novel and directed by John Huston, known as the original Hollywood film noir, and the breakthrough for Bogie as a romantic lead instead of just a mobster heavy. A flawless classic, a film I respect more than totally enjoyed. Transfer quality disappointing

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

TOS 3.09 The Tholian Web
Writer: Judy Burns (Writer), Chet Richards (Writer), Gene Roddenberry (Original Characters By)
Director: Herb Wallerstein
Cast: William Shatner (Kirk), Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock), DeForest Kelley (Dr. McCoy), James Doohan (Scott), George Takei (Sulu), Walter Koenig (Chekov), Nichelle Nichols (Uhura), Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel), Sean Morgan (Lt. O'Neil)

Originally not a mirror universe episode. It was just mentioned that the Defiant (a ship that went missing and the Enterprise was searching for) is phasing in and out between alternated universes.
It is revealed in an episode of the prequel series "Enterprise", that the other universe was the mirror universe.
No matter what, this is still a great episode. Captain Kirk is presumed dead and McCoy and Spock have to learn to work together without Kirk being there to balance them out.

Rating:
