Dreamchild
1 recommendation
"I loved this version. It begins with an elderly Alice (who the story was based on) on her way to the U.S. to participate in a celebration of Lewis Carol and his books. The movie then segues into flashbacks of her childhood and the fantasy world. This version was a bit darker. The puppets (made by Jim Henson's Workshop) were kind of scary and nightmarish."
Alice Through the Looking Glass
1 recommendation
"This 1999 U.K. version features, Kate Beckinsale (Underworld) and Ian Holm (Lord of the Rings). I definately haven't seen this one but would love to check it out. In this story, the Alice figure (KB) is an adult and is pulled into the adventure while reading the story to her daughter."
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland DVD
1 recommendation
"This film adaptation is a U.K. version from '72. I wasn't immediately familiar with it, but was sure I had seen it at some point in my life. After looking at some stills I realized I had seen it eons ago. Its a musical version and stars Dudley Moore (that was the only actor I could recognize by name) Oh, and Peter Sellers (The Pink Panther). From what I remember, this movie was better than the NBC..."

Angels in America
1 recommendation
"Angels in America is phenomenal! Set in the 80's the film (cable miniseries) is about the lives of several people living in New York who are affected, in various ways, by the AIDS epidemic. Funny, philosophical, tragic and at times, fantastical. Great performances from an ensemble cast including (Jeffrey Wright (Basquiat), Meryl Streep (A Cry in the Dark), Al Pacino (Scarface), Patrick Wilson (Lit..."
Stephen King's Storm of the Century
1 recommendation
"A treacherous winter storm has blown a demon into a sleepy, idyllic Maine town. And this demon wants a prodige. So the townspeople must willingly give up one of their own children or face total annihilation (a la the colony on Roanoke Island that disappeared mysteriously). The morally flawless facade of the town destroyed as dirty secrets are revealed."
House: Seasons 1 - 4 Collection
3 recommendations
"Sure, the story continuity is pretty thin from episode to episode. Yeah, the episode formula is the same every time. No, it nowhere close to believable. However, Hugh Lourie's performance is, truly, one of a kind and makes the show, not only watchable, but also always enjoyable."

Battlestar Galactica

"One of the most finely written and acted series on television today...or ever. If you're turning up your nose at it because of it's cheesy 70's predecessor, think again. This is an entirely different show. I saw the miniseries just before season 3 started, and was instantly hooked. It's quickly jumped far up the list of favorites shows of all-time."
