Johnny Dangerously (1984)

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

You gotta love a roaring 20s gangster movie as a comedy instead of the usual shoot-em-up. I replaced a worn out VHS tape a couple of years ago with the DVD version, just so my son (who was born a year after it was released) could watch it for the very first time.
In this story, [...]

Galaxy Quest (1999)

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

This is one of those comedy sci-fi adventures that you'll either love or hate. I can't say I love it, but I can say I've watched it on DVD more than 10 times.

In this story, a 400-year old medicine man (a demon by [...]

Logan's Run (1977-1978)

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

This TV series was spawned by the movie from the previous year. It's too bad that the network that carried it bounced it around their schedule so much that people missed it when it was on. Remember, there was no Tivo back then and VCRs weren't available to the average citizen. Schedule inconsistencies and preemptions [...]
