The Tunnel (2011)
I Loved this movie
While I agree with a few other of the negative comments that this movie was not necessarily the most original film concept ever conceived, I still give it a 10 out of ten. It wasn't trying to be something it's not. It had a few decent scares, but I never felt led on in a way I didn't end up enjoying.
There was never too much reveal, so we get left with a bit of mystery. And when the movie was over, I knew it wasn't real, but I couldn't help but find myself googling to see what - if anything - there may have been in fact. The tunnels, the lake, the bell, those all exist, and the bell is a spot-on match for the real thing, apart from the floor it's on being dry.
They filmed in the real station connecting to those tunnels... the plan to process and use water from the lake was a real plan... But no news crew (apparently) ever went in and lost people, and I couldn't substantiate any claims of homeless going missing. In the end, a real fun movie, that leaves you thinking, and just won't let go of you.
Frankenstein: Through the Eyes of the Monster (1995)
Loved this game!
I own, and even still occasionally play, Frankenstein thru the eyes of the monster. I have a demo version of the game that I found on an old CD-ROM Today Magazine CD, and several of the clips are un-cropped for audio, you can actually hear the director give Tim direction in the background. Regardless, this is an amazing title, and I would recommend it to any Myst, Zork, or any scene by scene strategy game player. My favorite moment would have to have been when Tim curry is yelling at you throughout the castle trying to find you, something about his notes (Sorry people, not going to spoil it). You just have to play this game. Very media rich, perhaps not quite as easy to navigate as today's FPS games, however it still has a certain charm that the games of early CD-ROM did.
Disneyland: Earth Star Voyager: Part 1 (1988)
Excellent Movie
This was one of my three favorite Disney movies when I was growing up. (along with 20,000 leagues under the sea, and TRON). I miss this movie, and upon searching the internet I found something recently that was never in my originally taped television release. There were a lot of short edits made for the original Sunday night split release (break the movie in three parts, and play one each week on Sunday night). My version never showed admiral Beasley at the end having electronics in his face (leading us to believe he's a more advanced Shell). This movie had a great potential to take the same plot star trek used with the Borg, and create a great series out of it. It saddens me to think that such a great show was so quickly abandoned. I wish they would re-release this on DVD.
