I haven't been a fan of Hollywood's "Let's Remake Everything That Was Ever Popular!" plan, but I was pleasantly surprised by the reboots and reincarnations of Doctor Who , Battlestar Galactica , and even J.J. Abrams' new Star Trek movie, which is out on Blu-ray and DVD today. I'd argue that maybe science fiction is immune to the remake syndrome, but then you have Michael Bay's two awful...

Recommended Though it outlasted every '60s espionage series on both sides of the Atlantic, toward the end the rigidly structured Mission: Impossible had seemingly exhausted every conceivable plotline. The incredible innovativeness of the first few years had given way to complacency, with mechanical (if Byzantine) plots and unambitious (if tensely-paced) storytelling. Though star Steven Hill's departure...

Look up into the sky. Is there a round, silvery shape there? No, of course not. As we all know, the Moon left the Earth's orbit back in 1999 following a cataclysmic nuclear explosion caused by waste from Moonbase Alpha going into chain reaction. That, at least, was the scenario painted in Space: 1999 , even if it - obviously - never came to pass. Made by Gerry Anderson, originally to be the second...

Was there anyone more groovier than Mama Cass? She was the epitome of grooviness during her brief but fabulous life, which sadly ended in 1974 at age 32. And, no, she did not choke on a ham sandwich as was reported at the time of her death. Cass actually died in her sleep from a heart attack. But I'm not writing this post to dwell upon her tragic passing. I'd rather celebrate her wonderful music--and...

It wasn't that; it was that there were just so many of them that I was mildly embarrassed to go further. Worse, I left off at least three: Lesley Ann Warren - star of a production on CBS of Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella in...
