I just finished watching…

Title: Battlestar Galactica
Year: 1978
Genre: science-fiction
Rating: ? (PG)
Starring: Richard Hatch, Dirk Benedict, Lorne Green (et al.)
Source: on DVD
Seen Before?: yes
Watch Again?: oh, yes

The original pilot episode/movie to the original 1978 series. I just finished reading the book based on this, so I had to watch the movie again…

Title: The Muppet Christmas Carol
Year: 1992
Genre: children’s
Rating: G
Starring: Michael Caine, Dave Goelz, Steve Whitmire (et al.)
Source: on DVD
Seen Before?: yes
Watch Again?: yes

Family Movie Night movie, this time with the commentary on, by director Brian Henson. It’s fun to listen to the behind-the-scenes stuff, especially with Muppets- who knew that most Muppets were left-handed, or that having Kermit lock a door was actually the hardest thing to film?

Title: Blade Runner
Year: 1982
Genre: science-fiction/thriller
Rating: R
Starring: Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young (et al.)
Source: on DVD (from the library)
Seen Before?: no
Watch Again?: nope

I just finished reading “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep”, which this movie is based on. And ‘based on’ is a pretty loose description. Really, it was just kind of weird.

Title: Ted
Year: 2012
Genre: comedy
Rating: R
Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Seth MacFarlane (et al.)
Source: on DVD
Seen Before?: no
Watch Again?: NO

Oh, was this bad. Very, very bad. Unbelievably bad. We watched a couple episodes of “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” immediately afterward just to feel better. And this could have been a really great story if they hadn’t had so much swearing, to start (among other problems).

Current Mood:
