Farscape was the best and most imaginative of sci fi series. The characters were just that ...characters. Not a cop who gets results through unorthodox interrogation techniques, not a group of American army personnel representing earth to a group of American-o-centric aliens but a group of incredible (meaning unbelievable) characters.
The colours, the shapes.....
John spends the entire series as a mentally ill person warped by his experiences and the brain surgery of Scorpius.
When he takes on a 7 foot lizard creature in a fist fight he ends up smashed and bruised on the far side of the room. When he falls in love she happens to be a soldier dedicated to his own extermination. Nobody gets his jokes and he honestly doesn't know the secrets the others are prepared to kill him for.
Farscape is about a hopeless quest. No Voyager style course plotted in to a computer. Earth is just a dream to be scrabbled after by a desperate loony. He keeps a grip on his own reality by quoting catchphrases from prime time TV and incidents from black and white films. Harvey, the computer program implanted by Scorpius is my favourite. What a wonderful complex character Scorpius is - there is no evil in Farscape, no black and white, only shades of Grey.
I would quite happily have accepted John waking up and believing it was all a dream following some tremendous astronaut accident.
Farscape the mini series is a wonderful finale to the best sci fi series ever conceived.

"Real dude jus' been in here askin' 'bout you Shaft. $50 shoes, funky plaid coat and grey flares...."
Wearing enough leather to re-upholster a rodeo Shaft is an icon of 70's cool. Recently the subject of comedy and satire he stands out from the other blaxploitation characters because he is a well written character who is more than just a black face. Credit for this has to go to the actor Richard Roundtree who is a massive presence on the screen capable of clinical violence and sensitive loving.
The main plot of Shaft is a war breaking out between black gangstas and the mafia. Shaft is a private detective with a good friend in the Police dept. Everybody needs him, the Police need his street knowledge, the gangstas need him on a dangerous job, his woman needs him for..... well he knows just what his woman needs.
Moses Gunn is a superb villain, it seems a strange parallel to make but Alan Rickman in Die Hard uses the same tricks on his opponent as Gunn does on Shaft. It would be nice to think that the cold teutonic Hans Gruber owed just a little to mean ol' m*ther Bumpy Jonas !
Well-directed, with a surprisingly measured pace and with a superb soundtrack Shaft is a good film by any measure. The Isaac Hayes songs and incidental music are second to none, every effect used in Shaft has become an archetype. The wah-guitars signifying quiet tension, the fast picking during the chase scenes, the vibes when his gives his woman good loving......
Starsky and Hutch owe everything to Shaft including Antony Fargas, who makes an appearance as a "pseudo Huggy Bear". The brilliant "Chef" from South Park and UK comedian Lenny Henry may send up the genre but Shaft is an original and the best.

Gentleman Jim not really a boxing film. It is a vehicle for Errol Flynn as Jim Corbett. But having said that, the boxing scenes are a real eye-opener to the modern viewer. There are no 12 round, points decisions here.
Errol Flynn plays the Irish bank clerk who gets a shot at the heavyweight world title. Flynn is well suited to the role of suave but unpredictable Corbett. His opponent John Sullivan is still better however, a bruiser of the old school played by Ward Bond.
The theme of the film is a man pushing for his big chance. Corbett leaves his mundane life behind and builds a new persona as Gentleman Jim. Jim is a chancer who can adapt to any social environment. He is a liar and an egotist. Sullivan the heavyweight boxing champion is portrayed as a simple brute but his honesty and sportsmanship gives a certain contrast to the main character.
There is action and excitement aplenty and a wonderful ending with the requisite redemption for all. And Errol Flynn gets the girl.
