• Star Trek: The Motion Picture 1979

  ●●○○ 02 Feb 2019

  “The Motionless Picture” is an apropos nickname. Even the action sequences are slow paced. It seems to be a direct sequel to the show, so they know you know what they know; I don’t know.

• The Lady Vanishes 1979

  The 1979 version. This was a remake of a Hitchcock classic, and was trashed by critics.

• The China Syndrome 1979

  ●●●○ 08 Mar 2020

  Pretty face reporter and her activist cameraman accidentally runs into a major accident at a “nukular” power plant, followed by a cover up, the classic money trumps safety. She is brushed aside, since her brains were not why she’s there, while the cameraman is just an independent contractor.

• Alien 1979

  ●●●● 07 Jul 2020

  Classic. The goofiness and dated effects are masterfully hidden.
