WarGames, a review by addicted2dvd
Stars: Matthew Broderick as David Dabney Coleman as McKittrick John Wood as Falken Ally Sheedy as Jennifer Barry Corbin as General Beringer Plot:Extras:
My Thoughts: This is a film I haven't watched in several years. While the computer equipment really shows the age of this film... it didn't take too much away from the storyline. I never really noticed it when I watched this film when I was younger... but David really knew how to do things that a high school student shouldn't know how to do. So with this one you really have to suspend disbelief... but I still really liked the story line. I also had a little problem with Dabney Coleman... as I never been a fan of his. There is just something about him that rubs me the wrong way. On the other hand I always liked Ally Sheedy so it was fun seeing her in one of her earlier roles again. Anyway I really liked this one... possibly more then I should. Definitely worth the time put in to watch it.

Stars: Robert Forster as Lloyd Cameron Richardson as Collette Lucy Liu as Sadie Allan Rich as Harrison Samantha Shelton as LA Weekly Editor Kevin Wheatley as Ethan Mills Plot: Female reporter Sadie Blake (Lucy Liu) wakes up in a morgue to find herself a member of the undead, the victim of a brutal vampire ritual. Trying desperately to fight off her thirst, Sadie prowls the dark city streets, armed with a crossbow and hell-bent on slaying the twisted vampires that made her this way. With an all-star cast featuring Carla Gugino, Michael Chiklis and James D'Arcy, prepare for a bloody descent into a terrifying underworld. Extras:
My Thoughts: This is one that was given to me a couple years ago, but just now got the chance to watch. Unfortunately, I wasn't very impressed. The movie just seemed weird and hard to follow. Maybe if they told a straight story instead of using flashbacks to jump all over the place I would have enjoyed it more. But it has a decent cast... the acting is fine... but I just couldn't keep up with the story. It is obviously one of those movies you have to give all your attention to... but for some reason I found myself drifting in and out of sleep for the most of the movie. I think I will have to give this one another chance one of these days just to see if I can follow it any better.My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 (From What Movies I Been Watching on March 25th, 2012) Tom's Random Star Trek Reviews, a review by TomStar Trek 1.28 City on the Edge of Forever Writer: Harlen Ellison (Writer), Gene Roddenberry (Original Characters By) Director: Joseph Pevney Cast: William Shatner (Kirk), Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock), Joan Collins (Sister Edith Keeler), DeForest Kelley (Dr. McCoy), James Doohan (Scott), George Takei (Sulu), Nichelle Nichols (Uhura), John Harmon (Rodent), Hal Baylor (Policeman), David L. Ross (Galloway), John Winston (Transporter Chief), Bartell La Rue (Guardian Voice (voice)) Probably the best episode of the original Star Trek series. McCoy gets transported back in time to the 1930s, which changes the present dramatically. Kirk and Spock also travel back to prevent whatever McCoy did.
