Everything or Nothing: The Untold Story of 007 (2013)



Way cool documentary about the history of the James Bond books and film series, with tons of vintage clips and commentary from insiders, stars, celebrity fans and more. Lots of geeky trivia to be had, this flick is Heaven for Bond Geeks.

Flashback Friday Double Feature:

Ghostbusters (1984)

Classic sci-fi comedy with Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray and Harold Ramis as paranormal investigators cleaning up New York's massive ghost problem. As usual, Murray steals the movie and gets all the best lines. The special effects still hold up pretty well today. Watched this with my ten year old, who'd never seen it before...he LOVED it, especially the scene with the giant Mister Stay Puft.

C.H.U.D. (1984)

Toxic waste dumped beneath New York City's streets mutates the local homeless population into Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers, who start noshing on unlucky pedestrians. When a cop, a photographer and a homeless advocate discover the secret, the government comes in to try and cover it up.  Dirty, grungy, slimy low budget fun with a great cast incl. Daniel Stern and John Heard.

caught up on Agents of Shield and Duck Dynasty

I watched the Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D debut and quite enjoyed it. Missed the subsequent episodes. Right now I am going through the Stargate-SG1 series. In the middle of season 4

Watched the Dodgers (my team) get slaughtered by the Cardinals last night.

i started Season 1 of SG 1 awhile back but I got diverted by some recent shows.

With the kids:

"My Babysitter's a Vampire" (2010)



Family friendly comedy about a dorky teen trying to save the girl of his dreams from a gang of sparkly bloodsuckers. Mildly entertaining kid stuff that manages to get a few good jabs in at the 'Twilight' phenomenon... but if you're not a parent looking to entertain a young'in, there's no need to bother with it.

I'm watching SG 1 too. Not sure what season I'm in but I think it's about where you are James. I just watched the episode where O'neill busts a rogue SG team that's been stealing stuff from the "friendly" aliens.

my favorite SG 1 episode is the groundhog day takeoff.

My favorite episodes are the ones with Apophis; he's just so hate-able because he's both a sinister mastermind and practically unkillable.

Another one with the kiddies:

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988)



One of my favorite movies of all time. Robert 'Back to the Future' Zemeckis' colorful, hyperactive, twisted mix of film-noir murder mystery and 1940s cartoon mayhem continues to amaze me with its fantastic FX work and seamless mix of live actors and animated 'toons' sharing the screen together. I will never get tired of this flick.

Iron Sky (2012)



Earth is under attack by MOON NAZIS in this wacky sci-fi/action comedy from Finland, and our only hope is the U.S. President (who resembles a certain Mrs. Palin so closely that it's almost scary).

The concept of this movie is a total hoot and the special effects are fantastic but the flick doesn't quite live up to the promise shown in its trailer. It never quite finds the right balance between the butt kickin' Space-Nazi fightin' action and the forced attempts at political satire. it's still a fun flick to watch once. I mean c'mon, it's got Moon Nazis, for cryin' out loud. How cool is that?

Keith persuaded me to go re-watch C.H.U.D. for the first time in twenty years. It's just as cool now as it was then. I had a grin on my face the entire time.

Also watched the fabulous, uber-cerebral Primer--with subtitles on. Was hoping for more clarification on how they ended up with a parabolic displacement, still not sure, but still enjoyed even more than the first time. I really should own this movie.

A smarter script would have done wonders for Iron Sky, it's "okay" as it stands but there is a good bit of missed potential there. The whole bit about Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" is wonderful though.
