I like watching things. And stuff. Oh yeah, I also enjoy wearing pants and eating nectarines.

Deadly Prey 1987
My review of the disasterpiece (thanks, Heidenreich) known as Deadly Prey, a.k.a. Hambo...
A privately funded mercenary outfit* is led by a man named Hogan (David Campbell), a tough-as-nails Vietnam vet. He trains his men in an unusual way; by live hunting of kidnapped people! I guess that's why it's privately funded. One day, his recruiters are cruising through a suburban neighborhood in their dark green van and decide to grab a random man who was just trying to put…

Star Trek: Nemesis 2002
"Captain's log, supplemental. What a day! Started out well, with the wedding reception for Will and Deanna. Not all are looking forward to the upcoming ceremony on Betazed, for...traditional reasons, but we'll do what we must. At any rate, things picked up with news of a positronic signal emanating from Kolarus III. Decided to investigate, and I was able to test the new Argo shuttlecraft and its ATV ground unit, the uncreatively named Argo ATV, which does not resemble a…

The Valiant 1929
Outside an apartment, a gunshot is heard, and out walks a young man (Paul Muni, in his first big screen role). He walks straight to the police station and turns himself in.

When his picture is displayed in newspapers, along with his bizarre story, an old woman (Edith Yorke) 1,000 miles east has a…

A Nice Little Bank That Should Be Robbed 1958
Max (Tom Ewell) and Gus (Mickey Rooney) work as mechanics for a small cab company. They enjoy betting on horses, but have very little money to place bets with. It gets them thinking; wouldn't it be nice to have their own horse to race someday? They eventually decide to rob a bank, with good-hearted (though misguided, obviously) Max fully intending to pay back every cent once they start winning races. But as the old saying goes, the road to hell…

Star Trek: Insurrection 1998
A species called the Son'a suffers from a condition that is slowly breaking down their bodies. (think Vidiians, but not as gross) Meanwhile, the Ba'ku live on a planet that regenerates them constantly, giving them unnaturally long, healthy lives. The Son'a plan to take over the planet and, surprisingly, is in cahoots with the Federation to forcibly relocate the Ba'ku! The Prime Directive seems to have gone out the window, and the crew of the Enterprise isn't having it.

Cover Up 1949
Nice laid-back suspense in this one. I know that sounds weird, but watch it and you'll know what I mean. And just when I thought things seemed obvious, they throw a nice curveball.
Bendix was good as usual and O'Keefe did a great job as the lead. And Barbara Britton was...wow. Really wow.
