The Wrong Man, a review by Dragonfire

I finally saw this one after I found it on TCM.

This one is a bit different from other Hitchcock movies because it is based on a true story.  From what I read after seeing the movie, very few things were changed for the movie and Hitchcock even filmed at some of the actual locations.  I didn't know any of the details about the real case when I saw the movie, so I do think there was a decent amount of mystery to what was going on.  The pace is a little slower, which may bother some people.  I didn't mind the pace and I wasn't bored by the movie.  I really enjoyed it, though it isn't one of my favorite Hitchcock movies. 

The movie is entertaining, though some people will probably be disappointed since it isn't a typical Hitchcock movie.



I did post a review at Epinions.

Brace yourself - as the most spectacular history-altering adventure of all time continues in the hit sequel that proves lightning can strike twice!

Marty and Doc (Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd) have barely recovered from their first time-traveling adventure when they launch themselves once more into the space-time continuum. But this time around, their history-tweaking antics in the year 2015 create a frightful, alternate 1985 Hill Valley where bully Biff Tannen is rich, powerful and Marty's dead! Now, their only chance to fix the present is by going back to 1955 all over again. But can Doc and Marty patch up the past without igniting a universe-shredding time paradox? Fire up the trusty DeLorean and find out - as the powerhouse team of executive producer Steven Spielberg and director Robert Zemeckis rev up another round of brilliantly inventive, comically super-charged time-hopping action in 'Back to the Future Part II'!

My Thoughts:
Once this movie gets going... there is no stopping it. 1955...1985...2015... back and forth. There is a lot of time travel in this movie! Not to mention alternate realities. I really liked how they handled it all. I do wish they didn't have to change the actress that played Jennifer... not that I didn't like Elisabeth Shue because I definitely did. I just prefer to see the same cast playing the characters whenever possible. Over-all I really enjoyed this one... just as much as the first one!

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

Star Trek: The Animated Series
Season 1.02 Yesteryear
Writer: Gene Roddenberry (Original Characters By), D. C. Fontana (Writer)
Director: Hal Sutherland
Cast: William Shatner (Capt. Kirk), Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock), DeForest Kelley (Dr. McCoy), George Takei (Mr. Sulu), Nichelle Nichols (Uhura), Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel), James Doohan (Scotty)

I can't believe it has been a year already since I left off this marathon.
It is time now to watch the time-travel episodes of the animated series. This episode is probably one of the more famous ones from the animated series. In it time is changed and Spock doesn't exist anymore. He has to travel back in time and save himself as child from death. It is a rather good episode.
