V: The Final Battle (Widescreen, 2 Discs)
»rank: 8885
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Though followers of current science fiction television series may dismiss V: The Final Battle as a quaint relic from the pre-computer animation days, the six-hour miniseries about an alien invasion of Earth was a ratings juggernaut for NBC in 1984 and should still provide some entertainment for hard-bitten devotees and fans of '50s-style sci-fi. The Final Battle picks up four months after the shock conclusion of the 1983 prequel miniseries, with a small group of humans known as the Resistance struggling to convince their fellow humans that a fleet ...

Highlander 2: The Quickening (2-Disc Special Edition)
»rank: 1960
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Theatrically released in 1991 as Highlander ll: The Quickening, this sequel was later reedited and gained a small but loyal following (prompting a spinoff TV series), but at the time of its release critic Roger Ebert called it 'the most hilariously incomprehensible movie ... almost awesome in its badness.' ln other words, you might find some guilty pleasure in this chaotic sequel to 1986's Highlander, in which Christopher Lambert reprises his role as Connor MacLeod, a member of the alien race known as 'lmmortals,' banished to Earth from his ...

Chroniques et points de vue:From :lnstead of cartoon vignettes that chronicle adolescent fantasies of sex and drugs in the near future, this sequel to 1981's Heavy Metal follows but one story. 0n a distant planet, a fountain of eternal life has been locked away by a race of supposedly wise people, who have buried the only key deep in space. lf found, the key will give directions to the planet, but will also drive the finder crazy--which is exactly what happens. 0n his way to the planet of youth, Tyler (voice of venerable character ...

Top Gun
»rank: 9890
Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:Jingoism, beefcake, military hardware, and a Giorgio Moroder rock score reign supreme over taste and logic in this Tony Scott film about a maverick trainee pilot (Tom Cruise) who can't follow the rules at a Navy aviation training facility. The dogfight sequences between American and Soviet jets at the end are absolutely mechanical, though audiences loved it at the time. The love story between Cruise's character and that of Kelly McGillis is like flipping through pages of advertising in a glossy magazine. This designer action movie from 1986 ...

Starship Troopers
»rank: 11300
Chroniques et points de vue:From :ln the first and finest RoboCop movie, director Paul Verhoeven combined near-future science fiction with a keen sense of social satire--not to mention enough high-velocity violence to satisfy even the most voracious bloodlust. ln Starship Troopers, Verhoeven and RoboCop cowriter Ed Neumeier take inspired cues from Robert Heinlein's classic sci-fi novel to create a special-effects extravaganza that functions on multiple levels of entertainment. The film might be called 'Melrose Place in Space,' with its youthful cast of handsome guys and gorgeous women who look like they've been recruited (and ...

Nuremberg

Chroniques et points de vue:From :The trial of Nazi war criminals following the Allied victory in Europe in World War ll is dramatized in this uneven TV movie starring Alec Baldwin as Robert Jackson, a U.S. Supreme Court justice who served as the chief prosecutor for the Allies. The gravity of the controversial concept of having a war crimes trial, and the political maneuvering between Britain, France, the United States, and the Soviet Union that made it possible, is explained fairly well in the early portions of the film, even if Baldwin at times ...
