Supernova (2000)
An non-entertaining Event Horizon / Sphere
The coming attractions for this movie made it seem as interesting as such entertaining modern sci-fi deep-space films as Event Horizon or Sphere. However, Superonva failed to meet these expectations. It was one of the few movies I've seen where leaving the theater mid-film was a real consideration. Supernova lacks the sort of intriguing plot that is required in such an outer space science fiction film. While some of the scenes look great, they seem as if they could be clips of a movie with an actual plot. Maybe the film had been longer, but was shortened. Also, the control panels of the space ship and some other elements look like they were taken out of a 20-year-old film. Maybe this movie would have been interesting and innovative had it been released that long ago when some of these science-fiction ideas had not already been created and would be unable to be copied to create a film that is definitely not worth $8. Maybe about $2.75
Hi Honey, I'm Home (1991)
Early Nickelodeon comedy reminiscent of 1998 film "Pleasantville" concept
"Hi Honey, I'm Home" was an interesting member of the set of shows such as "You Can't Do That On Television" that characterized some of Nickelodeon's programming in the late 80's (or early 90's).
In retrospect, it seems as if this show, where 50's black-and-white T.V. and modern life meet, could have been the inspriation for concept of the 1998 film "Pleasantville."
Somewhat entertaining, moreso today. Now it serves as a pleasant look back to the earlier shows of Nickelodeon. Others of the era include the aforementioned "You Can't Do That On Television", "Today's Special", "Don't Just Sit There--Do Something!", "Belle and Sebastian", and "Pinwheel".
