Starcrossed (1985)
A hidden 80s gem
This movie was made for TV in Canada in the 80s and I remember stumbling across it in a video shop many years ago and loving it. It's a story of starcrossed lovers and a flight for freedom. As other reviewers have noted the production values aren't high, but for me the characters made up for the cardboard sets..and the spaceship was rather original for its time I thought. I've been looking for a copy of this on DVD for years without luck.
If you are a James Spader fan this is probably one of his earliest and hardest titles to get your hands on - and impossible to watch if you don't have a VHS system, but its worth taking the time to find if you like a decent B SciFi movie.
Life (2007)
Quirky and enjoyable
This is a wonderful new series - currently in its second season. Its full of great characters you really grow to love and the stories are intelligent. This series has really caught my imagination, and for its quality its hard to see why its not better. I suspect if you like "Burn Notice" you'll also like this as they both have that attention to detail and good story lines that keep bringing you back for more.
Damien Lewis and Sarah Shahi make a great team and have good chemistry and throwing Adam Arkin into the mix (he's great comic relief) is just inspired. I highly recommend at least trying this out of you like a good drama.
