Until the various features summarizing Carrie Fisher's career I didn't realize that she played Sally's best friend in that movie. That flick is one of the few "rom-coms" that I actually enjoy but I haven't seen it since right about the time it came out.

Same here.
I thought it was as stupid as I feared it would be based on the promos.

Yeah I only watched it because there was nothing else on and I like the lead actress from Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia. I probably won't be catching it any further.

Planet Of The Vampires (1965)
Mario Bava directed Italian film about 2 spacecrafts crash landing on a planet whoses disembodied inhabitants enter and reanimate the deceased crew members to stalk and kill the survivors. I've read that it has been suggested that this film was an influence on 1979's Alien and I can kind of see why.

"Hell Up In Harlem" (1974)
In this sequel to "Black Caesar," a New York City gangster (Fred "The Hammer" Williamson) wants to get out of "the rackets" and go straight, but his plans are complicated by a series of attempts on his life by the Mafia, by crooked NYC cops, and from within his own criminal organization. A fairly typical "blaxploitation" flick, "Hell Up In Harlem" doesn't have much plot but Williamson is badass and the movie has plenty of action, plus the cool, funky soundtrack is performed by Edwin ("War! What Is It Good For?") Starr. An enjoyable retro watch.

Today on the elliptical I started:
Babylon 5 - Season 1, episode 4
Now THIS is science fiction; unlike some insanely popular movie franchise that shall remain nameless.

"Foxbat" (aka "Operation Foxbat," 1977)
American, Russian, and Chinese agents race around Hong Kong, trying to recover a microfilm which contains plans for a high tech, top secret Soviet fighter plane. Unfortunately,the film is inside the body of a dorky Chinese cooking instructor, who accidentally swallowed it! (I swear I am not making this plot up.)
This Hong Kong attempt at a James Bond-style spy thriller turns into a hopelessly confused mess pretty quickly, until eventually it's just a poorly dubbed series of fistfights, car chases and shootouts. American tough-guy character actor Henry Silva seems to be having fun as a CIA heavy, but I doubt any viewers will be able to say the same.
Ignore, delete, destroy!

The Beast Must Die (1974)
A big game hunter gathers a group if people together to his secluded estate in order to hunt down one of the group, whom he suspects of being a werewolf. This movie works sort of like a whodunit complete with a 30 second "werewolf break", giving the viewer a chance to guess the werewolf's identity based on the clues given in the film. This wasn't too bad a film. It could have been better but wasn't a complete waste of time.

Dark City
I decided to watch this again after recommending it in the other thread. Strange film; sort of Matrix-like but not at all the same ideas. This is my third time viewing it and I'm still not sure it all adds up or makes complete sense. But then that's what I think good science fiction should do; make you think.
