Terminator Salvation (2009)
THIS should have been Terminator 3
Just saw Terminator Salvation and had a blast. At last, the bleak future that was hinted at in the first two Terminator films is fully revealed - and it's awesome. I never got that feeling from T3, which felt more like a rehash of everything we've already seen with a few twists thrown in. Salvation felt fresh and left me wanting more - instead of wanting it to end. The action scenes were intense and imaginative: they did the Terminator brand-name proud. Finally, it's a real treat when you get to see great acting in an action flick. Christian Bale - the dude pours himself into John Connor. It makes the myth on the screen that much more powerful. Pretty good movie - bring on the next chapter.
Standby: Lights! Camera! Action! (1982)
A very influential show...
I loved this program. In fact, I give this show the credit for making me want to be a filmmaker.
I was 6 years old, right around the release of "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock". I remember because "Standby: Lights! Camera! Action!" devoted an entire episode to it. It was the first time I saw ANY of what goes on behind the camera - and I was hooked.
I don't think there's a show like this for kids anymore. That's a real shame. It was stuff like this that opened my eyes to the men and women who put in all of that work to entertain the world.
Great stuff.
