[SPOILERS] A bit of a weird storyline with this one. The whole movie is about a crew making the first manned mission to Mars. The first attempt has to be postponed though due to something going wrong with The Hood on board the Zero-X spacecraft taking photos who gets his foot caught in the craft's hydraulics. After a two-year investigation, the conclusion is that it was sabotage so International Rescue offer their services to help make sure all goes well with the second attempt. The Hood is again up to his old tricks as he attempts to impersonate one of the astronauts, but is caught by Scott pre-launch. After a chase, The Hood is then seemingly killed after Parker shoots his chopper down! Yep, the most famous villain of the series is killed about halfway through the movie without anything being made of it. So, nothing comes of his two attempts at sabotaging the launch, stealing the secrets of the Zero-X except for delaying the mission for two years.... See what I mean when I say it's an odd storyline? Then they get to Mars, spend about two minutes there after having to come back to Earth after these dragon-like creatures try to kill them and International Rescue save the day again with the reentry. And in amongst it all, is a bit of a sub-plot about Alan, the youngest Tracy brother, wanting to spread his wings and be with Lady Penelope. There were some great engaging episodes of the fantastic Thunderbirds series, but there were also a number that were quite slowly paced, and this is more like the latter. The amazing explosions at the conclusion are some of the best moments of the movie. I never remember noticing this in the series, but the way Lady Penelope speaks, particularly to Parker, sounds patronising as anything. If you have fond memories of the franchise, like I do, it's worth a watch, but like I said, the plot is weak.

I had this film recorded on VHS and it was constantly being played, largely because my younger brother used to watch it a lot, so I could probably run through this scene for scene. The original Die Hard did things other movies hadn't, but I would rather watch this again out of the trilogy as the action scenes and byplay between McClane and Zeus is great. Jeremy Irons also plays one of my favourite villains. It does have some of the commonly found interracial cringe that a number of films in the '90s had, but it isn't that heavy of a feature. One of the best action flicks.

One of the more underrated films in my opinion. Films are memorable when there is emotional involvement from the viewer and it's a challenge to not feel empathy, firstly for Michael J Fox's character who is being pressured by his platoon to do harrowing things, and then even more-so for the women they do harrowing things to. These scenes are created brilliantly to make the viewer FEEL and on repeated viewings the impact is not lost. MJF is best known for his comedic roles, but he is great in this with Sean Penn as well.

Not bad but too many tracks that don't have much replay value. Was much more enjoyable 1st listen than 2nd and 3rd. Best Tracks: The Prophet, Murdera

The story of a terminally ill man who doesn't want to go through the worst parts of the disease so he decides to end it. However, nothing quite goes to plan. Dom DeLuise's mentally unstable character goes a long way to saving this for me. He offers the most laughs when many others fall flat. I love black comedies, but this isn't written well enough to be noteworthy. 2.5-2/5.
