Escape from Mars (1999 TV Movie)

One of the best "Made For TV" SF movies in recent memory

[8/10 · 12 October 2003]

The premise is not "fresh" but the science part is very well done. Asimov and Heinlein would both stand up in their graves and applaud Bova on the other hand, might wonder why he wasn't credited.

By far the best "Mars" movie of the times.

The Twilight Zone (2002–2003)

The second installment is much better

[27 September 2002]

These two episodes were much better than the first two.

The first episode this time was a poignant expose on the bigotry that lies hidden in all of us. Great twist of an ending. Reminiscent of the original.

The second was a good humorous look at writers block and what happens when you let your imagination get away from yourself. Both are very good.

The Twilight Zone (2002–2003)

Improvements needed

[24 September 2002]

While UPN is trying to be true to the original series, it seems that the scriptwriting needs some improvement. The first episode was predictable and had the feel of an R. L. Stien Goosebumps. The second was nothing but a warmed-over remake of "Death Takes a Holiday" that could have been titled "Death Takes a Day Off". I have hopes that this will prove to be a worthy addition to the "Twilight Zone" franchise, but I'm not holding my breath.
