In changing the name of their network, they also spelled the abbreviation wrong.

I still like SOYLENT GREEN, mainly because of Heston and Edward G. Robinson making his final appearance. The plot line is now incredibly predictable and the end line which was so famous upon its release is a complete cheese fest. But still, I can enjoy this movie because it's one of the classics.
PLANET OF THE APES is still one of my favorite movies of all time. I can't find anything wrong with it. Great story line, and one of the best twist endings. Also, an incredible cast chemistry.
As for bad Sci-Fi, where do I start? I know I've seen a lot of terrible ones, but I can't really remember any major ones off hand. Of course, all one has to do is watch the ScyFy Network and see some of their original releases to see a bad movie.

I don't even know what to say to that.

Aissa Wayne, daughter of John Wayne, speaks during Project Prayer Flag at Calvary Chapel Montebello on the anniversary of September 11. During the event volunteers hoped to package 40,000 American pocket flags and thank-you cards Saturday, September 11, 2010 for troops in Afghanistan. (SGVN/Staff Photo By Sarah Reingewirtz) For a second I thought that was Sarah Palin with blond hair.

How many years did it take to make this?

I'm surprised it's as well known as it is.

Nope. Not much into comic books or MAD magazine. But I must say, the drawings are very accurate.

Now it's Dominoes pizza.
But anyway, I cannot imagine a different piece of music accompanying these photos.

Thanks Nef.
I chose "I Could Have Done More" by John Williams, a piece he composed for SCHINDLER'S LIST.

Finally saw ZULU DAWN a few months ago, and I must say, I was shocked at how awful it was. What a waste of great talent! Burt Lancaster was laugh out loud terrible and Denholm Elliot's death scene was flat out ridiculous. I actually shut it off about a half hour in before reconsidering and fast-forwarding to the battle scene, which I thought was OK; nothing special though. I'm sorry, but I just did not like this movie.

The ad on the right is very annoying. Can't get rid of it.

This is a video a friend and I made. Rich Man's War, Poor Man's Fight: The Dead of the Civil War. I hope you will enjoy.

Looks like a decent flick. My friend made me borrow REVOLUTION with Al Pacino but I've yet to watch it. Have you ever seen it? Hard to explain this one; something of a bizarre film. You might call it a sort of a dark version of Mel Gibson's THE PATRIOT, with elements of Jimmy Stewart's SHENNANDOAH mixed in. Al Pacino plays the lead character, a man who does not want to get involved in the war until he loses some family members and one of his sons runs off to fight with the Continental army. While the requisite love story interwoven into the plot comes off like a Harlequin Romance novel, the battle scenes are gritty and Donald Sutherland plays a rather sinister British pikesman. One thing that I remember particularly liking about this film when it first came out is how all the Colonials actually speak in British accents---and of course, why would they not? I'll have to watch it then.

Been a long time since I've seen that, and I own it as part of a History Channel Alamo set.
Is this the one where they split the two hours between Boone and Crockett, or a different one?
