Re: DVD\'s you want realeased... Does anyone remember an 80s movie called Enemy Mine ? It had Louis Gossett Jr and Dennis Quaid in it, and was about two fighter pilots from opposing sides in a war, who get stranded on a bleak planet. It's available as Region 1 DVD, but I have not been able to...

He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again. Corny, perhaps. But I think this quote from Hamlet sums up Andreas Katsula very well. He would have been marvellous in a Shakespearean role ....

It's hard to explain, as the book takes place over about seven years. But right at the start of the book, there's an all-out nuclear war, and everything goes straight to hell. Some of the survivors subcumb to their worst instincts; others still behave decently. There's this - entity- for lack...

Jade Jaguar It took me a couple of days, but I finally got around to checking the back of the DVD cases. On both [in very tiny print that gives a new meaning to the term 'small print'], there was the following statement. 'presented in a matted "letterbox" format preserving the aspect ratio...

I've just watched the first two episodes of season 2 ... it sure brings back memories. It was stll as enjoyable as when I started watching it all those years ago. I also watched the Special Feature, where Biggs, Doyle, Christian and Boxleitner discuss the Geometry of Shadows. It was really...

I had a sort of B5 moment today - where it seems as though something was meant to be. And funnily enough, it involved B5. For a very long time I have wanted B5 DVDs. I have two of the films on DVD, but none of the main seasons. And at $119.95 per season, it was a wee bit on the expensive side...

Re: \'Time\'s\' 100 Greatest Novels There was a novel by a Japanese author there ... although I cannot remember who it was at the moment.

Re: \'Time\'s\' 100 Greatest Novels I've read the following. Animal Farm I, Claudius The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe Lord of the Flies The Lord of the Rings 1984 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Two of them I read for English classes Interesting list .... There's quite a...

Re: What\'s wrong with this picture? (SA&B) Yes ... I have seen pictures of them before. I must admit that I did not look too closely when I first saw the picture ... I thought that maybe it was one of the Thunderbirds craft. I guess if anyone from the Korean War era had actually seen one...

Re: What\'s wrong with this picture? (SA&B) Oh, boy .... It's been a few years since I saw Toy Story - but I am pretty sure that Shrek wasn't in it. And that looks suspicously like a spaceship in the M*A*S*H menu. I don't know enough about Monty Python to be able to tell if there is...

Re: HBO\'s Rome I don't know how many times I've watched an historiical film/TV programme, and been irked because they got things wrong or changed things. It can quite spoil what is otherwise a good how. Of course, a lot of people often don't know the real story behind the story so it does...

I am now reading When Religion Becomes Evil by Charles Kimball. It explains Islam quite well, and other faiths. It's an interesting read.

How To Talk to a Liberal What's that like? I read Coulter's other two books last year - they were dreadful - but interesting in a train-wreck kind of way. I have finished Becoming a Tiger . It was an interesting book, and unlike many books of this nature, quite funny. I am now reading...

I'm reading Becoming A Tiger: How Baby Animals Learn to Live in the Wild by Susan McCarthy. It is about how animals grow up, how they learn, and whether animal behaviour is innate, learned, ora mixture of both.

Re: War of the Worlds (SPOILERS) I knew that Robbie had survived when the Miranda Otto character character said 'thank-you' when Ray handed their daughter to her. If I had been the mum, my question would have been 'where's Robbie?'

Re: War of the Worlds (SPOILERS) I saw the film today. The SFX were brilliant, and some of the scenes were quite harrowing. And both the aliens and the tripods they rode in were creepy. I maybe wrong, but I don't think that they ever said outright in the film that the aliens came from Mars...

Re: War of the Worlds (SPOILERS) I loved the soundtrack when I was a kid - still do. I was a bit dubious when I heard that Tom Cruise was in the movie - although I know that he is a reasonable actor. But, it sounds as if this movie might be okay. I'm going on Tuesday. Has anyone seen the...

Re: \'King Kong\' trailer Let's see .. American backing, Kiwi location, Kiwi Director. It is both an American and a NZ production.

Re: Batman Begins I've just seen it. Wow! Good story, great acting - even Katie Holmes was not too bad. I know that some people have complained about the action sequences, but I liked them - although they did leave me a little dizzy at times. I did not think that the idea of a guy wearing a...

Not too sure about that. Without giving too much away for those who have not read the books, one of the kids, Edmund, is a really nasty little so-and-so. The sort you want to grab by the scruff of the neck, and throw headfirst into the moldiest, stinkiest duckpond you can find. Not a good idea...
