This Ain't SG-1

I liked the TV series Stargate: SG-1, but the movie 'Stargate' just didn't do it for me. Part of the problem was that I really liked Michael Shanks' portrayal of Daniel Jackson, and James Spader really just didn't do as good of a job. I realize that the movie came first, so I guess I'm grateful it was made in that sense, but I can't help but compare the movie to SG-1...And I can't help but say tha... read more

Roland Emmerich has an ambitious eye for summertime movie eye candy. It’s a pity that he can’t seem to generate memorable characters or smart bits of dialog. Forget about good acting, his films are more concerned with taking these cardboard cutouts and blowing them from one set piece to another with all the subtly and brains of a leaf blower at four in the morning. Stargate is no different, bu... read more

Already 20 years ago, they released this flick, it has been a while since I have seen it and I should definitely re-watch it at some point. To be honest, even though the TV show was quite popular (the first version ran for 10 years starring good old Richard Dean Anderson AKA MacGyver), I never really followed it but I always had a weak spot for the film that started it all. Of course, the whole co... read more

In this visually creative space adventure from the team that would go on to give the world INDEPENDENCE DAY and GODZILLA, a timid, glasses-wearing Egyptologist(James Spader) uncovers an ancient portal to another planet and is dispatched there forthwith--along with blundering, clodfooted government troops (led by Kurt Russell). The downtrodden populace they encounter, ruled by godlike, androgynous King Ra (Jaye Davidson, in his first role after becoming a star in THE CRYING GAME), must be led to literacy and freedom; Ra must be defeated; the intellectual must find his machismo; and our boys must return to Earth.
