Overview	James Bond is thrust into one of his most riveting adventures in this jam-packed free-for-all of outrageous stunts. Passionate encounters and exciting confrontations. Roger Moore portrays agent 007 with lethal determination in a plot that finds him infiltrating the Greek underworld to locate a stolen device capable of controlling a fleet of nuclear submarines!
My thoughts	Bond marathon #12 Those who know my Bond preferences will not be surprised that I consider that it would be an understatement to say that this film is a step up from Moonraker

Sunset, a review by Rogmeister

Sunset (1988)
Director: Blake Edwards
Music: Henry Mancini
Cast: Bruce Willis, James Garner, Mariel Hemingway, Kathleen Quinlan, Jennifer Edwards, Malcolm McDowell

They broke every rule loved every woman took every risk and solved the most shocking murder in the history of beverly hills. And its all true. Give or take a lie or two.

My Thoughts--I wasn't quite sure what to make of this...and it's not really a western but I'm including it among my "westerns" reviews because it does have as its two lead characters famed lawman Wyatt Earp (James Garner) and cowboy movie star Tom Mix (Bruce Willis).  According to the write-up in the booklet, they originally wanted Robert Duvall in the Tom Mix part, but they couldn't get any financing for that casting and when Willis showed interest, he was cast and the movie was made.  Casting is also a small quibble I had here...Bruce Willis doesn't really look much like Tom Mix...he looked okay when in the white cowboy outfit but usually he just looked nothing like Mix to me.  This movie takes place around 1929 or so...how old would Wyatt Earp have been then?  Somehow, I think he would have looked a lot older than James Garner looks in this film...but perhaps Garner didn't want to be made up to look 70 or so...I guess we'll have to chalk this up to dramatic license.

In the film, Tom Mix has been cast to star as Wyatt Earp in a new movie and the real Wyatt is brought on board as a technical adviser.  He doesn't cotton much to studio politics but he and star Tom Mix hit it off pretty well.  Before long, they get embroiled in a murder mystery and it's an interesting tale...apparently based on an actual novel.  I actually found this film to be more entertaining than I originally thought it would be and it certainly kept my interest throughout, though there are so many characters it does get just a bit confusing at times.  I liked the opening which is a recreation of a typical Tom Mix western rescue and I liked the western-style music...the music is actually awfully familiar sounding to me.  But I'm not going to go listening to the music from all my films to figure out where I may have heard it before.  Much of the film does take place in glitzy Hollywood...the nightclubs, mansions and the first ever Academy Awards.  If you get a chance, check it out...you may enjoy it.  Just don't include it as an "official" Wyatt Earp movie...

Genesis
Events are set in motion as a total eclipse casts its shadow across the globe and a genetics professor uncovers his father's secret research revealing that people with super powers are living among us.

My Thoughts:
This is a good series... though I have found I am not enjoying it quite as much the second time around... as I remember thinking it was awesome when it aired on TV. The pilot episode does definitely set up the story well. And it is fun watching all the ideas for people with special powers. While the re-watch value isn't quite as high... I think it is still worth collecting the DVDs. It is still good entertainment.

My Rating:
