The New Avengers (1976)
Outdated-Who cares
Sure it is outdated, but so are westerns, but people still watch them. You have to take in the context in which era it was made. We are no longer fighting those Ruskies, but we were then. You can tell by my name why I like the show. By this time Steed is just the brains of the crew with Gambit and Purdey being the brawn. He is still your classic Englishman of that era,polite, charming and well spoken. As with the first series the cars are really fine, but I wish they had chosen some other color for Purdey's MGB. I wonder if anyone noticed that in the seventh episode, the one called 'To Catch A Rat', the man who played Flyer was Ian Hendry? He was the star of the original Avengers series in 1961, with Steed as the co-star. For whatever reason he left the show after the first season and Steed became the star.
Under Siege (1992)
under acting
Tommy Lee Jones should be named Midas. He is one of a very few that can turn crap into something you can watch. A capital ship with nuke weapons is taken on the high seas. Any government would sink it and apologize to the families later.
Dark Star (1974)
Wonderful early Carpenter
Who else could have dreamt up talking bombs, a dead captain that can be reanimated, and surfing into oblivion in deep space!! AMAZING FILM!! John Carpenter is not only a genius today but he was in the 70's as well. When I saw Dark Star in 74 (at the tender age of ten) I was hooked. I have since then never failed to catch a Carpenter film!
