Conan the Barbarian (1982), a recap (part 5 of 6)

Last time, Conan attempted to stealth his way through a level and got caught, tortured, and left for dead. His friends saved him, but at what cost? Conan practices the katas his masters in the East had taught him, seemingly…

Conan the Barbarian (1982), a recap (part 4 of 6)

When we last saw our hero, he had left his friends Subotai and Valeria behind to pursue his path of vengeance against Thulsa Doom. After a considerable ride, he came across pilgrims traveling to Doom’s “mountain of power”, as well…

Conan the Barbarian (1982), a recap (part 3 of 6)

When we last left our (ahem) heroes, Conan and Subotai had met a new friend, a woman (played by Sandahl Bergman). Whose name is never, ever stated in the movie. She’s Valeria, by the way, and yes, for convenience’s sake…

Conan the Barbarian (1982), a recap (part 2 of 6)

When we last left our favorite (and apparently last) Cimmerian, he had gone from boy to man, and from pushing a wheel to dealing death to the roar of the crowd. We open now with him being “taken to the…

Conan the Barbarian (1982), a recap (part 1 of 6)

There are those who trash the United States, but for me I think it’s a wonderful place. Where else can an Austrian body builder become one of the most iconic personalities in the world, having an impressive Hollywood career, marrying…

The Black Hole (1979), a recap (part 5)

Previously: 2019 ended and 2020 started, pretty much on time. Disney+ added the live-action remake of Aladdin, possibly the least necessary film ever made. Oh, you mean in this movie? Captain Holland has concluded that Dr. Reinhardt is probably…

The Black Hole (1979), a recap (part 4)

Previously: The crew of the damaged Palomino met the definitely not crazy commander of the legendarily lost starship Cygnus. He’s got a crew of robots running the place led by the definitely not robot murderer of the original human crew,…

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 10 of 10)

Previously: V’Ger threatened to destroy all life on Earth, leading both Kirk and the screenwriters to completely wing it, coming up with a plan on the fly that sees the Enterprise get drawn even deeper into the alien vessel for a personal meeting with V’Ger itself.

The Black Hole (1979), a recap (part 3)

Previously: The small crew of the USS Palomino was surprised to find the very large and very lost USS Cygnus on the edge of a black hole. They were forced to dock and explore the ship for reasons. Those reasons…

The Black Hole (1979), a recap (part 2)

Previously: Nothing. Nothing happened. The small exploratory starship USS Palomino found the long-missing big exploratory starship USS Cygnus near a black hole. That’s it. You are all caught up. Also, I misidentified long-time character actor Robert Forster as “Robert Forester”…

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 9 of 10)

Previously: Decker tried to put the moves on the Ilia-probe, while Spock stole a spacesuit and tried to put the mind-meld moves on V’Ger. Sadly, those living machines aren’t quite the easy lay that either man expected. Spock wakes up in Sickbay. Dr. Chapel is scanning his brain, and McCoy tells Kirk that the “power pouring through that mind-meld” may have caused Spock...

The Black Hole (1979), a recap (part 1)

Loyal readers may have noticed that I don’t write much. That’s because what I do write is indisputably genius. But why would a genius such as me (or Charles Babbage, or Sir George Stokes, or Isaac Newton, or any of…

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 8 of 10)

Previously: The Enterprise entered the evil cloud and got a bit too close to the Great Sphincter. Lt. Ilia was abducted by the intruder, which left a robot “probe” lookalike in her place, sort of like a… changeling? And with that, it’s back to the TOS theme...

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 7 of 10)

Previously: If you want to know what the last installment was like, give yourself a mild concussion and stare in wonder at all the lights and colors that dance before your eyes. Another alarm sounds, and this time, the Enterprise has been seized by a tractor beam...

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 6 of 10)

Previously: Spock showed up at last and made himself science officer, leading to a heartwarming reunion where the guy was pretty near catatonic. There was some questioning of Spock’s motives between Kirk and McCoy that went nowhere, just in time for the Enterprise to make visual contact with the Maybe-Not-Evil Cloud.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 5 of 10)

Previously: The Slow-Motion Picture literally went into slow-motion as the Enterprise fell into a wormhole created purely by Kirk’s hubris. Decker agreed to “nursemaid” Kirk to prevent this sort of mishap from happening again, which isn’t quite as freaky as it sounds...

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 4 of 10)

Previously: Kirk blindsided Decker by taking over the Enterprise, but Decker felt a lot better once his old flame Lt. Ilia came aboard. And then Kirk lost his science officer in a horrific transporter accident, but he felt a lot better once his old flame Dr. McCoy came aboard.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 3 of 10)

Previously: Spock’s human blood was touched by the big evil cloud out in space and so he didn’t get to join the Kohlinar Klub. Meanwhile, Kirk and Scotty flew around the Enterprise in a shuttle, and um… you know, I don’t think anything else happened. On the Enterprise bridge, it’s total chaos...

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 1 of 10)

Is there a movie that more intensely divides Star Trek fans than Star Trek: The Motion Picture? To some, it’s a slow, boring, drawn-out film, with interminable special effects sequences, and a crew having weirdly awkward interactions with one another...
