Star Trek 3. The Search for Spock.
The third Star Trek movie is a true sequel to the second one so you really should have seen the second one to understand the story. The first Star Trek movie on the other hand is an independent story which you can watch on its own. With the dramatic ending of the second movie and…

Blue Thunder
Blue Thunder came out in 1983. It stars Roy Scheider as police helicopter pilot Frank Murphy and Warren Oates as his superior. It must have been the last movie of Warren Oates as he died in 1982 after suffering a heart attack. Malcolm McDowell plays the bad guy. Of course the real star of the…

Star Trek 2. The wrath of Kahn
This second movie came out in 1982. We meet the crew of TOS again but now Kirk is an admiral with no more active duty. A legend at Starfleet, he has made a career only to find himself growing old in a position he doesn’t enjoy. But fate smiles upon Kirk and his crew when…

Dredd
I watched Dredd (2012) about a month ago on NetFlix. I was browsing the catalog and came across Dredd. I mistook it for the old Judge Dredd movie with Sylvester Stallone from 1997. Even though I hadn’t seen the old one for roughly 20 years probably it didn’t take long to figure out I was…

Star Trek. The Motion Picture
I recently decided to watch the Star Trek movies again. I watched them very long ago and thought it would be a bit of ‘brainless’ fun to watch them all in a short period of time. What better time to do so than a typical dreary Belgian summer. The first movie of the series came…

First Blood
The Rambo character recently became a news item in Belgium because of the renegade soldier Jurgen Conings. I wrote a short post about this as his supporters compare him to the hero Rambo. But in First blood Rambo is not yet the revenging hero from the later movies. When the movie came out in 1982…

The Breakfast Club
Last weekend we watched The Breakfast Club with the family. This movie from 1985 caused quite a stir when it came out. I remember watching it at the time while being in high school myself and loving it. I watched it multiple times but it cannot have been on regular tv. Probably it was on…

Back To The Future 3
Final movie of the trilogy. It took some will power to start watching the last movie. Luckily friends had told is that this one was not as bad as the second movie or we probably would never have watched it. Compared to #2 it is infinitely better but first movie is still the best one…

Back To the Future 2
A few weeks ago we decided to watch the trilogy as a family. I had only seen the first movie as a teenager in the eighties. The second one I hadn’t seen at all and from the third I had caught a few glimpses while zapping. Watching the first movie again after 30 years was…

Back to the Future
A few weeks ago we went for an afternoon walk in the sun and talked with friends about how they had watched Back the Future with the family some time back. As we are always contemplating which movies are good to watch as a family ourselves we took the tip and dug up the dvd…
