I watched a couple of movies recently - first of all, on Saturday night, at 11:30 PM, STAR Movies showed a movie that I saw back in 1996.  It's been a long time since then and I actually thought they would never show it again!  It was made by Orion Pictures, that's why.  Over the past few years, STAR Movies seems to have stopped showing any movies made by New Line Cinema, Concorde Pictures or Orion, for some reason.  That's a pity - there are lots of movies I remember fondly... for that matter, I even remember there was a time they used to show these movies uncensored!

But I'm drifting.  The movie in question, is The Dark Half, which stars Timothy Hutton and is based on a novel by Stephen King.  Frightening movie about a writer called Thaddeus Beaumont, who decides to "kill off" his pseudonym, George Stark - but the alter ego comes to life somehow and starts going on a killing spree!  It kept me involved throughout!  Today I watched the premiere of Enter the Dragon on HBO.  This of course is a martial arts and action classic!  Great fun.  It was censored in a couple of places though.  Just before that movie started (9 PM), there were two John Woo movies going on in two channels.  HBO was showing Mission: Impossible II again, but I chose to watch the better movie, Face/Off, on STAR Movies from 8:45 PM.  Finally, I watched an episode of Beast Machines: Transformers (episode was "Prometheus Unbound", written by Marv Wolfman) on Cartoon Network.

Must-see movie on STAR Movies Friday 7 PM - Jackie Chan's City Hunter!  I've only so far watched this movie on a videotape that is missing about 20-30 minutes of scenes, so I'm eagerly waiting to see the complete movie!

I also started working on an episode for Doom II.  Possible title: Forgotten Cities.  It's going to have a Karthik Art Gallery, heh.
