Babylon 5: The Lost Tales (2007)
Not a Blockbuster, but Very Enjoyable
My expectations were not high and I was not disappointed. It was a nice return to a place I've missed these past few years. While it wasn't a total B5 experience and I realize that will never be possible with the passing of Richard Biggs and Andreas Katsulas, I found these "short stories" to be enjoyable.
I especially enjoyed the second story with John Sheridan and the Prince.
The new effects were awesome. This was well worth the less than $20 I paid and I'll gladly pay for others should JMS decided to continue with more of these direct-to-DVD presentations.
I've missed that place all alone in the night. It was good to be back in that place, if only for a short stay. The name of the place is Babylon 5.
Thanks JMS.
X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)
Poorly written and poorly directed.
Wow. What a huge disappointment. This film was so disjointed and poorly written. The character treatment and development were weak. The direction was all over the place. There were a few good moments but many of the characters were wasted.
The X-Men really didn't do much in this film. While the San Francisco scenes with the Golden Gate Bridge were well done, the lack of a decent story and character treatments ruined what could have been a good film.
The Jean Grey story elements were disappointing, as were the few scenes involving Professor X. Rouge was wasted in this movie and need not have even appeared.
X2 was a superior film.
Alien Apocalypse (2005)
What a stinker!
Boy did this movie stink. The best part was when I deleted it from my Tivo.
The writing was weak, the direction disjointed, the special effects were terrible, and the acting was the worst. The plot was predictable and the outcome obvious. Nothing compelling at all.
I like Bruce Campbell but he just wasn't good enough to carry this film. It was so bad that I am confident that even Bruce must realize that it was horrible.
I want my two hours back. Sci Fi channel invested in a stinker with this one. I would be amazed if this movie is well-received by anyone.
