Our review: :YOUNG WRITER RICHARD COLLIER IS MET ON THE OPENING NIGHT OF HIS FIRST PLAY BY AN OLD LADY WHO BEGS HIM TO COME BACK TO ME. MYSTIFIED, HE TRIES TO FIND OUT ABOUT HER, AND LEARNS THAT SHE IS A FAMOUS STAGE ACTRESS FROM THE EARLY 1900S, ELISE MCKENNA..... :It's silly, it's superficial, it's so desperately earnest about its tale of time-spanning love that you almost wish for a cheap flatulence gag just to break the solemn mood. But there's ...

Our review:Description:In the year 2029, the ruling super-computer, Skynet, sends an indestructible cyborg (Arnold Schwarzenegger) back in time to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) before she can fulfill her destiny and save mankind. essential video:This is the film that cemented Schwarzenegger's spot in the action-brawn firmament, and it was well deserved. He's chilling as the futuristic cyborg who kills without fear, without love, without mercy. James Cameron's story and direction are pared to the bone and all the more ...

Our review:Description:Baal travels back in time and prevents the Stargate program from ever being started. SG-1 team must somehow restore history and once again save the galaxy from oppressive domination. :If Continuum, the second feature length, made-for-DVD film spun off from the long-running Stargate SG-1 television series, marks the end of this wing of the franchise--and it is hardly a certainty, given the show’s Lazarus-like history--then all involved, including the viewer, should be well satisfied. Continuum commingles all the elements that have ...

The Final Countdown (Widescreen Edition)

»rank: 811
Our review: :Studio: Wea-des Moines Video Release Date: 03/30/2004 Run time: 102 minutes Rating: Pg :With a tantalizing 'what-if?' scenario and a respectable cast of Hollywood veterans, The Final Countdown plays like a grand-scale episode of The Twilight Zone. It's really no more than that, and time-travel movies have grown far more sophisticated since this popular 1980 release, but there's still some life remaining in the movie's basic premise: What if a modern-era Navy aircraft carrier--in this case the real-life nuclear-powered U.S.S. ...

Our review: :Movie DVD :Before they unleashed the idiotic mayhem of Independence Day and Godzilla, the idea-stealing team of director Roland Emmerich and producer-screenwriter Dean Devlin concocted this hokey hit about the discovery of an ancient portal capable of zipping travelers to 'the other side of the known universe.' James Spader plays the Egyptologist who successfully translates the Stargate's hieroglyphic code, and then joins a hawkish military unit (led by Kurt Russell) on a reconnaissance mission to see what's on the other ...
