"Life on Mars"

A present-day car accident mysteriously sends a detective back to the 1970s. An American remake of the BBC series.
Not to bad, IMDB has a 7.2 rating for it.

Star Trek-The Final Frontier

Captain America - The First Avenger

Black Hawk Down--very well made movie.

Water for Elephants Didn't like the book. Didn't like the movie. Robert Pattinson is an odd looking man and a bad actor.

I really liked that series, Jim. I was ticked that they didn't renew it for a second season. I thought they did a great job wrapping up the story line when they knew it wasn't getting renewed.

The Christmas Card.

A family favorite, one of many in our box for Christmas movies.

US soldier visits the town from where an inspirational Christmas card was sent to him by a church group that mails cards out to servicemen as a goodwill effort.

The Hurricane Express. Chapters 6&7. from our Movie Archives

A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim. I think he made the best Scrooge out of all of the others that I have seen.

The Hurricane Express. Chapters 8&9

The director's edition of "Troy". Peter O'Toole is magnificent.

We deal in lead, friend.

"Pearl Harbor" with Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett.

The Hurricane Express. Chapters 10,11&12

Watched the 1954 White Christmas with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye last night. I just love that one.

Hell To Eternity, 300 Spartans, and a few others. Im in a War Movies mood. Oh and just saw: Invasion USA last night. Not the Chuck Norris version but the one with both "Lois Lanes in it "Noel Neill &&?" Peggy Castle, Edward G. Robinson Jr, and also William Schallert as well as Dan O' Herlihy. Not bad for a 1950s Commie "Scare" movie. Also, some of the extras were pretty good too including a nice list off the 100 best Nuclear type movies picked by some group of folks, as well as some sort of Defense Dept 25 or so minute long deal that was made with Jack Webb, Peter Brown, Robert Conrad and a couple other familiar faces--in which is supposed to spur people on about doing their part for our Country before its too late--ala--being invaded by the Russians--or nor--the Chinese--kinda thing.

PS: Darby's Rangers is in Queue for this evenings entertainment, then The Canterville Ghost soon as it arrives.

Slight correction there-altho Peggy Castle was gorgeous, Phyllis Coates was the other 50s Lois Lane-easy mistake to make!

As for me, I watched Rampart-a strange Woody Harrollson(sp?) police drama; and Ides of March with George Clooney-good but not a "feel good" flick by any means.

Hi Alamo, thanks for her name i couldnt think of it. No I had not misplaced her (Castle) as the other Lois Lane,) I was just mentioning that Peggy Castle was also in the movie. BTW, Coates refused to participate in being interviewed in the special features because of alligations dating back into the 1950s--of their being drugs on the set of Superman. Thank you for Coates name though ;-))

Forgot to mention, watched: Darby's Rangers last night. It stars: James Garner as Col. William Orlando Darby, Peter Brown, Jack Warden (as his Sergeant/Aide de Camp) Stuart Whitman as a Ranger Sergeant, and Torin Thatcher as a British Commando Sergeant Drill Instructor. Very well made movie all around.

The one and only, the original: War of the Worlds w/ Gene Barry.

Tonight will be: When Worlds Collide.
