Hercules in New York (1970)
it has to be seen to be believed
I was torn between scoring this 1 and 10. It is an amazing film on so many different levels.
The bear scene is like the worst pantomime. The young Arnie is monosyllabic. Yet this film has a charm that possibly even the cast and crew didn't recognise. You can't deny that Arnie has an amazing physique.
It's a(n) homage to New York and a reflection of the late 20th Century
It is some of the worst acting you will ever see and there is a total absence of decent special effects.
So bad it's good, see it now!
Doctor Who (2005)
outstanding
I loved every minute of the first episode. Surely it should have been a double length pilot.
Ecclestone is perfect as the Doctor. His wolfish grin and a mixture of wisdom and insanity are very finely judged.
Some of the criticism I have read here appears to miss the point about the show. It is supposed to be fun but intelligent fun. There are elements of silliness not found in any other show but isn't a comedy. Also elements of "horror" but not graphic nasty horror. Its a rare mix. Its good to see it back.
The story wasn't a strong one but it is a good introduction to a new Doctor. I can't wait for more.
And as for the carping about Ecclestone being a northerner (following a Scotsman Sylvester McCoy and a scouser in Tom Baker after all) as the man (or TimeLord) himself said....
