Cosmic Travelers, a boring 3 Part Series

[3/10 · 27 June 2007]

Cosmic Travelers actually is a 3 Part Series © 1997/1998 Goldhil Video / Adler Media / Noriko / Global Science Productions

Cosmic Travelers: Vol. 1 - Comets and Asteroids Narrated by: John Morrison / UPC: 743452024537 Vol. 2 - Sudden Impact: Meteors Narrated by: Mike Pengra / UPC: 743452024636 Vol. 3 - Final Target: Planet Earth Narrated by: Mark Averback / UPC: 74352024735

This series could have easily been condensed to one. It is full of redundancy and general babbling on and on of those being interviewed. It also contains a lot of somewhat ludicrous information which is often highly speculative, frequently contradictory, pure sci-fi, or philosophical statements presented as facts. The last Vol ends with endless whinny self-promotion. It is also now very dated material.

There are much better similar series out there such as: Solar Empire (1997) a 3 part series Directed by: David Berman for: The Learning Channel. or the series Miracle Planet (2004) a part series Directed by: Hideki Tasuke for: Readers Digest Presents.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)

My All-Time Favorie Movie

[10/10 · 27 June 2007]

This film is the third re-make of The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. It is a raving masterful production by Terry Gilliam !!! A truly classic epic fantasy movie for all time! At first watching it is a confusing script, and begs to be watched again. You can watch this movie over and over again and still catch a new bit of hidden humor here and there each time. It has a great all-star cast, it has great script, and has great care and detail in its production !!! Perhaps one of the best scenes is first, in the parlor of Vulcan and Venus. The ballroom is successfully a truly breathtaking place. Then the film rounds out with the spectacularly great battle against the Grand Turk and is done amusingly well. The act on the moon with Robin Williams as King of the Moon/everything, is significantly different from the rest of the movie to make it shine on it own.
