The Prisoner (2009)
Steaming pile of equine excrement
As a fan of the original Prisoner I can't begin to say how incredibly disappointed I am with this "remake". The "plot" is non-existent and makes no sense. It might be good if it had characters that made kept your interest in spite of the unintelligible plot line but sadly there isn't a single character that makes me care about what happens to them. In the original Patrick McGoohan was an excellent actor and portrayed an engaging character. The character of 6 in the original embodied the admirable quality of not giving up in spite of the odds. He was direct, smart and capable. In contrast, this 6 is a confused mamby-pamby guy with the personality of a doorstop. I am especially disappointed that one of my favorite actors, Ian McKellen would agree to appear in this mess. I think Patrick McGoohan is turning over in his grave.
An Inconvenient Truth (2006)
Al gore '08
I saw this movie last night and it was excellent. I cried at the part (short)that reviewed Al Gore's loss in 2000 thanks to the supreme court's ruling. I kept thinking about how different things would be if this sincere, intelligent and dedicated man had become president. How many people would still be alive, how many soldiers would still have their limbs and how the world trade center might still be standing. Al Gore is spending his time traveling the world for one reason..to save it. It's a wake up call to the world and we all better listen. I wish every one could see this movie. Don't miss it even if you are already a supporter, it's really worth seeing.
Æon Flux (2005)
Excellent Sci-fi!!
If you love Sci-fi you should love this. As a fan of the original animated series and a fan of good sci-fi, I really enjoyed this movie. I think the plot was understandable to the newcomer and satisfying to the existing fans. The acting was great with Charlize Theron as Aeon. What other human could come as close to the animated version? I also thought Marton Csokas was great as Trevor. The effects and general visual presentation were excellent. My Dad came with my husband and I having never seen the series on MTV and also loved it. Proving it's appeal to the uninitiated. I highly recommend this movie to Sci-fi fans!
