Playhouse 90: Alas, Babylon (1960)
Book was better
I am rereading "Alas, Babylon" because the last time I read it was in 1970. This will be the third time I read it. The book is great and should be considered a classic. While reading it now, I realized that I had seen it and sure enough, I found it on IMDb. One of the other reviews I read confused it with "The Stand" which is similar, but I still find that Pat Frank's novel to be superior. I would be a good movie for today. Hollywood seems to be rehashing old ideas. "Alas, Babylon" should be considered for that honor. It is time for Hollywood to wake up and do some original stuff. I was born in Pensacola, Fl when I returned there for my last year of High School, this book was required reading. Since I read it before, I did not mind. Read the book. I don't know if you can find on DVD or not.
Walker, Texas Ranger: Trust No One (1995)
What?
I have always questioned if that TV reporter ever apologized to Trivette. He dragged Trivette's name through the mud, making him look like he is a crooked Texas Ranger by even editing a tape making him look. If I was a producer, I would either have fired him or pulled his show. But Trivette was proved in the end to have been not guilty. After that we heard nothing from the reporter. I assumed he was fired. Any good reporter would have done more checking than this man. It just goes to show that some people will do anything for ratings. Go figure. Come on. You would think that not only is Trivette vindicated, but we would see some kind of punishment to the reporter for being such an idiot and a liar.
