WARBIRDS (2008)

feeds@yuku.com (BijouBob8mm) — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 15:45:50 GMT

I'm hearing this pulp-style adventure in which American troops in World War II encounter prehistoric beasts is a fun little film. Anyone here seen it and care to comment? It's aired on the Sci-Fi Channel (although I don't think this was one of their own productions) and got a DVD release from Anchor Bay.

SARAH JANE ANDVENTURES

feeds@yuku.com (SparkieGojira) — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 03:33:53 GMT

Does Ms. Smith deserve a thread of her own? I've belatedly gotten into this CBBC (The first C stands for children.) spin off of DOCTOR WHO, and all I can say is.... WOW!

It's mind boggling that SJA shares so many of the conventions of utter crap-made-for-kids like MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS or.... gulp.... BIG BAD BEETLE BORGS, but still manages to be an absolutely outstanding program for any age group. I only just finished watching season one, and with no shame confess I...

Hitchcock's "Unlocked Window" and Psycho connection? [SPOILER]

feeds@yuku.com (Dalek) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 23:04:31 GMT

Just watched the infamous 1965 episode of the Hitchock Hour episode entitled "An Unlocked Window" on Hulu. IMDB claims the house used is the original Psycho house (which was also my impression as I watched it.) Then when the finale [SPOILER] reveals the killer (who preys on nurses) is in fact hiding in drag as one of the two nurses trapped in the old house, I immediately wondered if the use of the same house was an inside-joke/homage to Psycho, which also involved transvestism as a...

DEMONS

feeds@yuku.com (reddog122) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 10:37:44 GMT

After watching Doctor Who: The End of Time I watched DEMONS, which made its belated debut on BBC AMERICA. I've heard this show is pretty popular across the pond, but I can't begin to understand why. The story is about a young man named Luke (played by pretty, but dull Christian Cooke) who learns from his godfather (played by sardonic, but dull Philip Glenister) that he descended from none other than Abraham Van Helsing and that his destiny is to fight evil demons on earth. Their...

The Rip Van Winkle Caper -TZ Ep. 98, 1961

feeds@yuku.com (Bud Brewster) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 19:06:52 GMT

This one isn't the best TZ episode of the series, but it's very straightforward. Greedy men make stupid choices and kill each other off after committing a robbery (gold bars) and then putting themselves into suspended animation in an Arizona cave for 100 years.

True science fiction fans get their payoff for watching this one at the very end. The middle-aged couple who encounter the last theif lying next to a desert road are driving Robby's car from

Track the TV Shows You Watch (2010)

It's baaaaaaack!

Last year's thread, while not as overwhelmingly popular as the "Track the Films You Watch" thread(s), still chugged along nicely through 2009. I don't know if anybody finds any particular fascination in what I'm watching, but I find listing this stuff helpful reference as I cycle through umpteen TV-on-DVD collections and occasional DVRed programming.

As usual, I'm mainly listing episodic, scripted television. No...

Peter Lorre---Crisis

feeds@yuku.com (Southern Beau) — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 22:30:31 GMT

Just happened to be up late the other night looking for Off Beat Cinema. It's one of the more interesting programs shown on Retro-TV in our area which specializes in old horror/sci-fi films.

Well...it wasn't on as scheduled. However an episode of "Crisis "appeared. As I read the opening credits, Peter Lorre was listed as a guest star. What a treat it was for me. He was playing the standard affluent continental type who can't get ladies but loans out his...

Just in case you didn't know about this, I want to let you know that there will be a hour episode of Danny Phantom that will officially conclude the series unless otherwise stated. In fact, it turns out that Nickelodeon has been showing episodes from the final season at certain times in the past (and this week was no exception as I found out by a somewhat of an accident that Nick was showing "new" episodes during this whole week). Anyhow, I just...

I'd heard a lot about the classic British sci-fi anthology series OUT OF THE UNKNOWN but had never seen an episode.

Here's a link to their version of E.M. Forster's "The Machine Stops".

Charlie Brown Christmas meets SNL

feeds@yuku.com (Grant) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 20:49:08 GMT

I don't know its title, but there was a very clever animated bit on SNL several Decembers ago. It had Jesus watching a lot of disappointing Christmas specials that "missed the point" (including the religious ones), then turning to A Charlie Brown Christmas and watching Linus' big moment, with a wistful smile on his face. In spite of having Jesus himself (which is considered kind of a red flag), it's hard to imagine even the most religious people being offended by it (I...
