I like watching things. And stuff. Oh yeah, I also enjoy wearing pants and eating nectarines.

Deadly Prey 1987
My review of the disasterpiece (thanks, Heidenreich) known as Deadly Prey, a.k.a. Hambo...
A privately funded mercenary outfit* is led by a man named Hogan (David Campbell), a tough-as-nails Vietnam vet. He trains his men in an unusual way; by live hunting of kidnapped people! I guess that's why it's privately funded. One day, his recruiters are cruising through a suburban neighborhood in their dark green van and decide to grab a random man who was just trying to put…

Star Trek: Nemesis 2002
"Captain's log, supplemental. What a day! Started out well, with the wedding reception for Will and Deanna. Not all are looking forward to the upcoming ceremony on Betazed, for...traditional reasons, but we'll do what we must. At any rate, things picked up with news of a positronic signal emanating from Kolarus III. Decided to investigate, and I was able to test the new Argo shuttlecraft and its ATV ground unit, the uncreatively named Argo ATV, which does not resemble a…

Peter Kay: Live at the Top of the Tower 2000
Another good stand-up show with a memorable beginning (which was particularly clever, especially given the filming tendencies of the era) and ending, which is definitely important for making an impact. I've now seen two of his specials and am wondering if he always put such effort into the encores. Looking forward to finding out...

Peter Kay: The Tour That Didn't Tour Tour 2011
I only knew Peter before this from his series Car Share. (well, there was Barking as well, but I don't remember it) That's a great show with a lot of heart, and he's a very likeable guy. Well, now I've finally watched one of his stand-up shows...and I'm impressed. Great observational humor (and a killer ending!) that I look forward to seeing much more of!

Star Trek: Insurrection 1998
A species called the Son'a suffers from a condition that is slowly breaking down their bodies. (think Vidiians, but not as gross) Meanwhile, the Ba'ku live on a planet that regenerates them constantly, giving them unnaturally long, healthy lives. The Son'a plan to take over the planet and, surprisingly, is in cahoots with the Federation to forcibly relocate the Ba'ku! The Prime Directive seems to have gone out the window, and the crew of the Enterprise isn't having it.

Violent Saturday 1955
Three crooks (Stephen McNally, Lee Marvin and J. Carrol Naish) come to a small town called Bradenville, intent on robbing their bank. To get coordinated, Naish cases the bank, Marvin snoops around town, and McNally finds an Amish farm—run by Mr. Stadt (Ernest Borgnine) and his family—where they'll flee to after the deed is done. But they're not counting on the resourcefulness and bravery of the townsfolk, in particular one Mr. Martin (Victor Mature).
I liked this one quite a…
