Watchmen (2009)...again

Missed this rather obvious one.  Now corrected thanks to Tim.  Must be about time I watched this little gem again

Up in the Air (2009)

I do like a George Clooney film and even though these images are deleted from the finished cut and from a dream sequence as best I can tell, I do quite fancy giving this a watch.

Thanks again Tim

Space Buddies (2009)

Space Buddies..... 

 

"Disney's pups are back and take one small step for dog and one giant leap for dogkind"

 

Nothing would make me watch this and nor should any of you.  I feel bad for blogging this but I'm a completest and can't help my self.

 

Lets never speak of it again.

Revell - Apollo Astronaut (2009)

Box art for 1:8 scale kit.  I think the art may have been used on an earlier release but I can't quite pin that down yet.  Either way, it's a nice painting

 

Steve

Moon (2009)

Moon is an amazing film.  Something of a love letter to Silent Running, 2001 and other serious 70's Sci-fi of that ilk.  Highly recommended.

 

Go and watch it, then come back and share

Land of the Lost (2009)

 

Land of the Lost is a 2009 science fiction comedy film loosely based on the 1974 Sid and Marty Krofft TV series of the same name.

I've never seen it so I can't comment.  Almost certain the original TV series never made it over to Blighty either.  Anyone care to comment a thought or two.

Virtuality (2009)

American TV pilot.  Sounds dreadful.  doesn't look much better either.  If anyone has seen this and wants to correct me by telling me it's a work of genius then feel free.

Defying Gravity Gallery (2009)

Defying Gravity (2009)

Defying Gravity was set in the year 2052 and followed the lives of 8 astronauts on a six year mission through the solar system.  Which is interesting enough as a premise until you find out the show was pitched to the networks as Grey's Anatomy in space and that their mission was being monitored from Earth via a real time communications.  The later allowing the shows makers to give it a cheap to produce mockumentry feel as we follow the ongoing lives and relationships of the 4 men and 4 women crew.  Sound dreadful doesn't it!  Which is perhaps why it ran for just 13 episodes before being cancelled.

Night in the Museum 2 (2009)

A monkey in a spacesuit; what more do you want from a film?

Actually it's a surprisingly entertaining sequel to the original with a star turn by Hank Azaria as Kahmunrah...and there's a little tiny monkey in a spacesuit

Life on Mars - US Version (2009)

This is from the the last episode of the USA's version of the Life on Mars.

The end of the original UK version must rank as one of the greatest endings to any TV drama ever.  The end of the USA version must rank as one of the stupidest.

Not much more to say really, except; Sorry Harvey.


Steve

Watchmen (2009)

This is one of the retro villains seen in the 2009 film adaption of  the Watchmen graphic novel.

He's called the Spaceman and he's seen in flashback being thwarted by the 1940's superteam The Minutemen

An obscure find but well worth it.

Doctor Who The Waters of Mars (2009) part 2

The Waters of Mars sees the return of the Sanctuary Base 6 space suit borrowed by The Doctor some three years earlier in the 2006 two part story; The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit. 

It’s probably a budgeting issue that made them reuse the suit from a previous story but it does add a nice touch of continuity as we never actually see the Doctor give it back at the end of The Satan Pit.

This casual thieving of costumes might also explain why the TARDIS has need for such a capacious wardrobe.  So raise your hand if you've ever borrowed something that didn't belong to you and sort of forgot to give it back.

Guilty it seems but then that's how he acquired the TARDIS so he's been at it from the start.

Doctor Who The Waters of Mars (2009) - part 1

This is the space suit seen in the first few minutes of the 2009 Doctor Who special; The Waters of Mars.  It’s glimpsed only briefly and worn by Bowie Base crew member; Yuri Kerenski .  Set in the year 2059 this represents cutting edge technology for Earth’s first Martian pioneers.

Its alright this and a good effort for something that's only on the screen for a short scene.  I'm sort of surprised we haven't seen this again in a future episode.
