Legends of the Hidden Temple (1993)
not *really* gone
Believe it or not, this show isn't really gone from the airwaves. Unlike what the previous person said, this show is indeed on Nick GAS and has been for a long time.
If you do not have the channel, don't worry, it should come to you.
Off the topic, Nick GAS is a channel that shows many old favorites from Nick's past. Double Dare, Super Sloppy Double Dare, etc. Not much is new.. and that's a very nice thing, mind you.
Legends of the Hidden Temple.. hmm.. it is really a good game show. Very well made. The host, Kirk Fogg, has the perfect voice for television. The only drawback is that about four teams get eliminated pretty quickly to go home with a pair of Sketchers shoes or something.
But Olmec's maze is just amazing. You know, the end when the last remaining team goes through a big maze of rooms and such. And they have to give a pendant to a temple guard if one ever comes in the precense of the room.
As corny as this sounds, it's pretty riviting sometimes. That's a lot when keeping in mind that this was aimed to children.. coming from a seventeen year old. Hah, whatever. These shows are appealing for the whole family, believe it or not.
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)
really one of the best pictures of the year
I'm not really that big of a Steven Spielberg fan, but perhaps I should be one now. This film was completely excellent. Everything about it is simply perfect. It is not boring, stupid, dumb, hokey, or anything like that. The incredibly hated ending of the film is NOT stupid sad-like. It's the perfect ending to the perfect movie.
I'm a really big fan of Kubrick, and he is my favorite director. He made some really great films, some of the best films ever made ("A Clockwork Orange," "2001," and "Barry Lyndon" come to mind). And the fact that "A.I." is a tribute to a great director from Steven Spielberg is great. You can actually notice some (actually, very few) of Kubrick touches here and there. And then comes another complaint from viewers -- "There is not enough of Kubrick and too much Spielberg." Well guess what? Stanley Kubrick did not make this movie, Steven Spielberg did.
I don't know if I took this film as a Kubrick/Spielberg collaboration, or just as a Steven Spielberg film, but it just worked for me. The first hour is where you might find most of the Kubrick. It is sad, cold sometimes, with great shots and some great emotion expressed on the screen. As it moves to the second hour, it's transition from some Kubrick to mostly Spielberg is seamless -- the movie really works as a whole. Even the second half isn't happy-fluff that some Spielberg films might possibly be.
The film works completely. Amazing direction, amazing acting (Haley Joel Osment has proved me wrong... I went in thinking I was going to see "Pay It Forward"/"The Sixth Sense" performance again, but I didn't. You have got to see it to believe it), amazing set design, amazing story, amazing characters, everything basically amazing.
I could care a less about people thinking otherwise. I don't simply care. This film is a beauty to behold and to look at for hours. I really like it that much.
I guess I must say that Spielberg does do one thing that most film makers try to do and fail to accomplish: to create the most awe-inspiring films.

Passion and Romance: Windows of the Heart (1997)
good late night film.
I have watched many films like this (late night film, involving lots of sex, I think you know what kind of film) and this film seems to actually have a plot. Well, kinda. It involves the misadventures of a young woman who winds up in differents places and different times.
And for this kind of film, an adult film, the twist it does have is actually like a breath of fresh air. When I watched it, a little bit ago, it was a great erotic experience. It is very hard to find, but if by chance it is on some late night, just watch it.
