David McK (3880 KP) rated Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) in Movies

Oct 7, 2019

"Ah'll be back ..." (to rewatch this)

For may people the best film in The Terminator series, with big Arnie again reprising his most iconic role and with Linda Hamilton returning to her role as Sarah Connor, the mother of the future leader of the Resistance against Skynet, John Connor.

For reason that are never fully explained, after the failure of the first Terminator to kill Sarah Connor in the 1980s, a second Terminator is sent back in time, this time to the early 1990s, in an effort to track down and kill John Connor (played, here, by a then unknown Edward Furlong).

As before, the Resistance are able to send back a lone protector through time ...

And, I have to say, now nearly 30 years after they were first seen, the 'liquid metal' T-1000 effects still hold up pretty well!

David McK (3880 KP) rated The Rocketeer: The Complete Adventures in Books

Feb 20, 2022

I remember going to the cinema in the early 1990s to see a little-known movie called 'The Rocketeer'.

I had no idea at the time that it was based on an already-existing IP.

This one.

Well, when I say that I'm honestly not sure whether this came first or not (but suspect it did), with the first of the two stories collected here incredibly close to what happens in that movie: enough, at points, to make me wonder was this a novelisation rather than the basis for the movie. (That, by the way, it later dispelled somewhat when the two stories veer off on different tangents).

Anyway, this is an OK read, with a rather misleading cover - unlike the rocket pack that Cliff Secord discovers, there's really nothing new or all that special here!
