What I Saw Last Week...

1. Batman (1989)
* * * * 1/2
A classic combo of talent behind the camera and in front.

2. The Children (1980)
* * * 1/2
A favorite from the good old Elvira years.

3. Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars (2009)
* * * 1/2
One more special until the new Doctor. The switch to hi-def is certainly helping the look of the series.

4. Dolphins (2000)
* * * 1/2
An enjoyable IMAX documentary.

5. Godzilla (1998)
* * * *
It looks and sounds fantastic on BluRay. Go green machine.

6. Living in Darkness (2002)
* * * 1/2
Agood. solid and informative documentary of the vamp classic "Near Dark". What no Jenny Wright?

7. Near Dark (1987)
* * * *
It's not the grandest upgrape to Blu but it's still a damn fine film and much better than any "Twilight" entry.

8. Passengers (2008)
* * * *
Anne Hathaway stars in the drama / mystery that has an interesting but predictable twist. If it was a bit more surreal it could have easily bumped it up another star.

9. Rest Stop: Dead Ahead (2006)
* * *
A simple but enjoyable slasher.

10. Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island (1998)
* * *
A fun time waster.

11. Star Trek (2009)
* * * *
A fine sequel / prequel / reboot that is faithful to the spirit of the franchise. Chekov is the weakest character but Bones and Scotty are spot on. Eric Bana was a very lame baddie though.

12. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
* 1/2
Does MST3K do this huge of a steaming pile?

13. Trick ‘r Treat (2008)
* * * *
One of the best anthology flicks in years. I love how all the tales tie in together with plenty of cool twists and performances.

14. Under Siege (1992)
* * * *
A classic for Seagal. Erika Eleniak naked in a birthday cake. Yum!

15. White Heat (1949)
* * * *
Cagney's awesome in this one.


16. Wings of Desire (1987)
* * * *
Hollywood remade this one as "City of Angels". "Wings" looks fantastic as is the acting.
