Wonder Woman (1975–1979)

Wonder Woman

[8/10 · 9 June 2006]

It is interesting to note that in the seventies there were only three major networks which covered the US market. All the successful series received huge ratings compared to todays multi-channel TV world not to mention the internet. It is also well known in the industry that TV stars are seen by a much larger audience than film stars in theaters. So women starring in their own series are super stars indeed. It probably is a good bet that after the powers that be in Hollywood found out that "flying" would work, that Superman shot in 1978 which was a Blockbuster hit can credit the " woman" starring TV series ISIS (1975-76) and WONDER WOMAN (1976-79) as precursors for success. Both these ladies talent and beauty and their contribution to the entertainment industry are to be admired when it comes to this genre.

Blue Angels in Razor Sharp (1982)

Excellent

[10/10 · 30 May 2006]

The great thing about documentary films are their reality. It is the real thing. This classic documentary on the Blue Angels while flying the A-4 "skyhawk" is exciting indeed. The up close and personal camera work is fantastic. The film captures the precision of the flying perfectly, very special stuff indeed.

The Blue Leader went on to command the USS JOHN F. KENNEDY aircraft carrier and later became an Admiral. Narrated by an ex-Blue Angel Cmdr. Dick Schram the viewers see the Blue Angel experience through the pilots eyes in detail. Superbly photographed. Super soundtrack! Thumbs up on this one.
