Trancers: A SciFi Classic...



Trancers first released in 1985, starring Tim Thomerson and Helen Hunt. This scifi masterpiece produced five sequels; Trancers II (1991), Trancers III (1992), Trancers 4: Jack of Swords (1994), Trancers 5: Sudden Deth (1994), and Trancers 6 (2002).
Trancers tells the story of police trooper Jack Deth(Tim Thomerson), who has been hunting Martin Whistler, a criminal mastermind that possesses the ability to psychically turn people into zombies and control them. In the beginning of Trancers, Jack is hot on the trail of Whistler. So Whistler injects himself with a time travel inducing drug which transports the persons consciousness to the youngest living relative of the time period. Concerned what he might change Jack goes back to 1985 to stop him. He finds Whistler building an army of Trancers to take over the world. Along the way he meets a young cute punk girl Leena (Helen Hunt) who helps him in his task. Without giving anything specific away Whistler escapes to another time period, creating the first sequel, Trancers II. As you can guess Whistler escaped many times allowing multiple sequels to this classic scifi movie.
What I thought...
The Trancers movies were produced on a low budget. However, Where the effects lacked, Tim Thomerson, Helen Hunt, and the rest of the cast made up for. One thing that made these movies so memorable were the little things that were mentioned in one and then made note of in the sequels. The story telling was unbelievable for such a low budget movie and I can't say it enough, Tim Thomerson made these movies. He was amazing in Trancers 1-5. However in Trancers 6, Jack travels in time to save his daughters life and ends up taking the persona of his daughter Josephine (Zette Sullivan). Personally I felt her performance was great. After all those years the Trancers saga still has it.
These movies are great for people who love movies like "Back to the Future". There are so few time travel movies out there, that really show you the possibilities. Trancers is definitely one of them. RENT IT BUY IT LOVE IT.

Stargate: The Ark of The Truth



Well I would just like to say that I am excited about the release of this movie. It is due to release on March, 11 2008, so I guess like four days. Sadly for me I pre-ordered it so it probably will not arrive till later in the week. Either way I'm happy to get to see it.
I have heard a few negative comments about this movie and I hope they are not true. People are claiming it felt like two episodes smashed into a 90 minute low budget movie. I can only surmise that these people's expectations were to high. The movie was only allowed 7 million dollars, which is twice as much as they would spend on a regular episode. It is also releasing straight to DVD. With both of those facts in mind, I don't expect to see Star Wars or Star Trek however I do believe it will be more than satisfying.
Stargate: The Ark of The Truth will pick up where the 10Th season left off and properly end the series. To follow will be a Sequel called Stargate: Continuum which will release some time in June. This will not deal with the TV show at all other than the same actors will be in it. It will be set in a parallel universe in the 50's dealing heavily with time travel. So if TAOTT doesn't attract a new audience hopefully Continuum will.
Between the two a movie chain will hopefully launch and all the complainers will get there big budget film. Not to say that I don't want one. I just know that complaining about theses movies will not assist in the production of more movies.
So right now I would like you all whether fan or not take a look at this movie, buy it, rent it...click the title of this blog you will be directed to imdb where you can read about this movie. I hope you all enjoy it, as much as I know I will.
