How can one say how bad this film is? The legend of Superman is so eminently campy that filmmakers have sullied his reputation with Superman III and Superman IV: The Quest For Peace. But this one takes the cake. Originally, the storyline was promising. It had to do with Supes' inner turmoil. "Should I play God?" he thought. "Should I destroy all the nukes?" An awry experiment by Luthor makes his mind up. But this movie focused on the Neanderthal Solar-Man. And it totally reeked.

In 1979, "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" was released. Generally panned by critics, it featured state-of-the-art effects by the then-fledgling Industrial Light And Magic. But the effects overshadowed the close-knit Enterprise community that Gene Roddenberry had spent three long years creating in the mid-sixties. Harve Bennett was hired to do the next Star Trek film, generally outlined to cost much less. Once the story and the actors were in place, it couldn't miss. I love this movie. As a "Star Trek" film, it is surpassed only by "The Voyage Home." The high-energy of the battle scenes swoop to the tragedy of Spock's death in the engine room, where one of the most famous friendships is once again testified to. If you haven't seen this movie, then you should. Even if you don't consider yourself a "Trek" fan. Adventure, romance, action, tragedy...who could possibly ask for anything more in a movie?

1995's "The Beatles Anthology" surpassed all previous Beatle documentaries, including this one. But of those past ones, this is the best. The only drawback is that the Beatles don't appear in interviews much. But the music is great, and the information will satiate any beginning Beatle fan.
