That and the original Twilight Zones are some of the best TV sci-fi made (according to me). Both feature Star Trek cast before the series was made, and the influence on Star Trek is easy to see.

Love the Outer Limits, some wonderful stories.

Does what it says on the tin.

Got 'Monsters' (2010) to watch later tonight, looks like some sort of sci-fi effort from the trailer.

Monsters is very good film, a lot managed on modest money. The second film has only just recently come out in the cinema.

Currently watching "Carry on Screaming" (1966) :eek: Fenella Fielding is a darling and yet looks spooky too....

Frying tonight

Paths of Glory

Kirk Douglas as a French army officer putting his neck on the line with unhinged Superior officer.
Directed by Stanley Kubrik it's a masterpiece and one of the best (imo) films about War ever made.
Absolute classic.

Yep, Paths of Glory is a classic. Hardly ever on TV, though.

Just watched a documentery on PBS about Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL). They might be stone cold killers but you have to have a grudging admiration for what they have accomplished.

Blood on the Sun (1945) starring James Cagney and Sylvyia Syndey. Cagney as an American reporter in Japan pre war trying to expose their plans for world domonation.
James Cagney trained intensively in the martial-art of judo in preparation for his role in this movie. Cagney trained under Ken Kuniyuki who was a 5th Degree Judo Master. Cagney went on to insist he perform his own stunts in this movie. He said in his memoirs: "I grew so fond of judo I used it to keep in shape until a back injury I picked up doing something else, put me on the sidelines." Moreover, another instructor for Cagney was former LAPD policeman John Halloran who plays the role of Captain Oshima in the film and can be seen in the movie's closing fight sequence. Apparently, Halloran quit the police force after FBI agents investigated him because he was an expert in judo.

War and remembrance dvd set..........mini series of Herman wouk's book

Sitting down tonight to "Chappie", Nial Blomkamps scifi film about artificial intelligence, yet again (groan) set in the slums of South Africa.
Film looks good mind...double feature of that and "Ex Machina", a similarly themed movie but a bit more cerebral I think.
