Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, a review by addicted2comicsPirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl The Plot: Blacksmith Will Turner teams up with eccentric pirate "Captain" Jack Sparrow to save his love, the governor's daughter, from Jack's former pirate allies, who are now undead. My Thoughts: Wow. About 2 and a half hours I sat through right there. For me, that's a record......but I don't mind!! Pirates were never really my thing, and I never bothered to check this out. I have to say, Jack Sparrow is the craziest pirate I've ever seen!! There's not much to say other than the movie is crazy action and fun to see! Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley, excellent job with it all! My Rating Out of 5 (From Addicted2comics(:P)'s Official Review Thread!!! on September 26th, 2010) Mars Attacks!, a review by dfmorgan
Year: 1996 Director: Tim Burton Cast: Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Annette Bening OverviewWatched: 1st. Jan 2011 My Thoughts: Ack. Ask. Ack. A nice fun film to start the New Year, pity that Warner chose to release it as a vanilla with zero extras. My Rating: An enjoyable 3 (From Dave's DVD/Blu-ray Reviews on January 2nd, 2011) Babylon 5: Marathon, a review by DJ DoenaDisc 3 The Coming of Shadows Synopsis: The Cenaturi emperor arrives at Babylon 5 with the not widely known intent to apologize to the Narn before he dies. Meanwhile a man contacts Garibaldi with a message from an old friend. My opinion: Again the name-giving episode of the season and once again a turning point of the story. This time Molari used Mr. Mordens forces with the full knowledge of what they are capable of and what they will do to the Narn colony. And ironically we have the same situation as in "Midnight of the Firing Line" although with opposite signs (this time G'Kar tries to kill Londo in the ambassadorial quarters). Great but very sad episode. (click to show/hide) Gropos Synopsis: 25,000 Earth soldiers, most of them Gropos (Ground Pounder) have arrived at the station and the crew has to find sleeping places for them. Commander of these troops is General Franklin, the father of Dr. Franklin, and he intends to attack a rebel stronghold on a planet allied to the Earth Alliance. My opinion: Another very sad episode. We spend an entire episode to get to know some of the Gropos just to realize they are all - the good ones as well as the bad ones - dead by the end of the episode. One cannot say that this is an enjoyable episode, but it leaves a strong impression. Especially when you watch it for the second or n-th time and you are aware that they will all die. All Alone in the Night Synopsis: Captain Sheridan is kidnapped by an unknown alien species while he is away from the station. These aliens have kidnapped other aliens as well, e.g. a Narn. My opinion: Let's cut to the chase: I think it is a very boring episode, although some parts are important for the main arc (such as Kosh being in Sheridans mind; the now unbalanced Grey Council and the conversation between General Hague and Sheridan). But the main story with the capture aboard this alien ship is not really interesting. Acts of Sacrifice Synopsis: Since the war between Narn and Centauri has started, open fights have been broken out between the residents of the station. G'Kar is trying to get military aid from the humans and/or the Minbari. Meanwhile Ivanova has to deal with a new race that has it's very own point of view in matters of evolution. My opninion: I liked it because we see that Londo is not too happy about his new "popularity", because he is aware that things like real freindship matters more. But I think since the events of "The Coming of Shadows" he has passed "the point of no return" and is trapped on the path he set foot on with his choices.
