"The Six Million Dollar Man: The Complete Collection" is available only through TimeLife, to order, click here!

"The Six Million Dollar Man" was a series that had been lost for many years. It was instantly popular back when the very first made-for-TV movie aired. Two more pilot films were made and each one was successful. The popularity continued for a five season run as a weekly series, including a spin off for "The Bionic Woman".

The series, based on a novel called “Cyborg”, told the story of a spy who is injured beyond repair testing a plane. He crashes and burns destroying his right arm, his left eye and both his legs in the process, in a near fatal accident. As Oscar Goldman (Richard Anderson) claims in the opening credits, “We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better… stronger… faster.” And so they do, by giving his injured parts bionic strength.

As you may have guessed, Skyline fever is going on at the office this week. With The Brothers Strause flick finally hitting theatres today, science fiction is pretty much the order of the past two weeks. So since we are talking about low-budget sci-fi, let’s take a look at a completely different kind of movie!

Galaxy of Terror came out way back in 1981, Roger Corman may have been “inspired by” Alien to produce this sci-fi monster flick. The plot revolves around a space crew sent on a rescue mission, one which ends up inside a living nightmare. The cast includes David Lynch favorite Grace Zabriskie as Captain Trantor. Rob Zombie’s main man Sid Haig stars as Quuhod. And “Happy Days” had passed for Erin Moran (Joanie from “Happy Days” and “Joanie Loves Chachi”) who appears as the overly sensitive Alluma.

For me, Skyline has done for Science Fiction what October does for Horror; Left me rummaging through thousands of DVD’s and VHS tapes in search of forgotten greatness. Last evening yielded a wonder worthy of attention for more reason than one.

Not only is The Thing From Another World relevant in the Skyline scheme due to it’s sci-fi nature, but it’s a mandatory must-revisit due to the upcoming prequel to John Carpenter’s The Thing, which is itself based on The Thing From Another World.

Alien Anthology has arrived on Blu-ray. Magnificent? Hell yeah! Worth owning? Absolutely! Too costly? Maybe, but nevertheless worth it!

As a fan of the Alien franchise, one who never purchased the DVD release, Alien Quadrilogy, it seemed like the right time to revisit the classic films. For some strange reason, there was always that feeling that something far better was in the works. Besides the fact the Quadrilogy was pretty expensive when it first came out. Yet, the Blu-ray for Alien Anthology has a similar issue and will put you out (Suggested Retail) $139.00. That’s one expensive Blu-ray set, but frankly, after spending all my free time immersed in this frightening and creative world, I can truly say, yes! This is absolutely worth the price. If it seems steep, guaranteed that you’ll find this on sale during the upcoming holiday season.

If you haven’t heard, it’s been 25 years since Marty McFly went Back to the Future. This iconic film lead to two successful sequels and a massive fan base which still yearns for Huey Lewis and the News and possibly ZZ Top. Now it is finally here, the trilogy is available on Blu-ray in this awesome Back to the Future: 25th Anniversary Trilogy. If you are a fan of the series, or if you just think it was pretty good, this is a fantastic set to own for the history alone!

Let’s go back in time and talk about 5 reasons why these movies are so darn entertaining!

When a film presents a leading man like Ben Kalmen, it is a daring move. He is arrogant, misogynistic, misguided and pathetic, and you probably know someone like him. Usually this would be a minor character, or possibly a villain. Yet he is the Solitary Man, the titular character, the one that audiences need to connect to. Thanks to Michael Douglas and his brilliant performance, you certainly do, even if you don’t respect him.

The Simpsons has been on television since 1989. That is truly beyond impressive, it’s downright unbelievable. And while for many, the show isn’t quite as clever as it used to be, we are talking twenty-two episodes a year for the past twenty-one years. It would be impossible to keep things completely fresh. And with the recently released “Thirteenth Season” on Blu-ray, you can see that it started to lose some of its edge as some of the episodes are not what they used to be.

My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done is a sort of hybrid project created by producer David Lynch and director Werner Herzog, a sort of art house dream team. Add to that, the immense talent of Michael Shannon, Chloe Sevigny and Willem Dafoe and you have… something strange, strange and inspired by a true story.

This odd little film focuses on Brad McCullum (Shannon) who murders his mother (Lynch regular, Grace Zabriskie) in a Medea fashion after becoming obsessed by a Greek play. This slow burning tale revolves around flash backs as we learn how Brad seems to lose himself to some sort of mental illness. The police arrive and have him surrounded. They proceed cautiously as it seems he has a couple of hostages. This could have been a by the books Hollywood action thriller, but it is far from it.

Lost was a complex, brave and sometimes frustrating viewing experience for many of its fans. For six years, characters came and went, some died, and some even came back to life. Of course, the entire series could be based on a sort of purgatory, death being a constant throughout, depending on your outlook. Now, looking back at the final season, I came upon the realization that there is much to love and much that is worth re-visiting.
