  • Movies and Television Shows List
    Movies and Television Shows List A.I. (2001). Runtime: 146 min – Cai Ewing Director: Steven Spielberg; Actors: Haley Joel Osment, Frances O'Connor In the not-so-far future the polar ice caps have melted and the resulting raise of the ocean waters has drowned all the coastal cities of the world. Withdrawn to the interior of the continents, the human race keeps advancing, reaching to the point of creating realistic robots (called mechas) to serve him. One of the mecha-producing companies builds David, an artificial kid which is the first to have real feelings, especially a never-ending love for his "mother", Monica. Monica is the woman who adopted him as a substitute for her real son, who remains in cryo-stasis, stricken by an incurable disease. David is living happily with Monica and her husband, but when their real son returns home after a cure is discovered, his life changes dramatically. A futuristic adaptation of the tale of Pinocchio, with David being the "fake" boy who desperately wants to become "real." OR Babylon 5. On Air: 1993-1999; 115 episodes, roughly 60 minutes long Actors: Michael O'Hare, Claudia Christian, et al. In the year 2258, it is ten years after the Earth-Minbari War. Commander Sinclair takes command of a giant five-mile- long cylindrical space station, orbiting a planet in neutral space. At a crossroads of interstellar commerce and diplomacy, Cmdr Sinclair (2d season Captain Sheridan) must try to establish peace and prosperity between various interstellar empires, all the while fighting forces from within the Earth Alliance.

  • New on Video &
    New On Video & DVD Beverly Hills 90201: 4th Season Television producer extraordinaire Aaron Spelling launched a pop- culture phenomenon with his 1990s teen soap opera Beverly Hills 90210, a landmark series that not only set the standard for '90s teen culture, but singlehandedly wrote the template for later shows like Dawson's Creek and THE O.C. Created by Darren Star, the glitzy series chronicled the coming-of-age dramas of Minnesota siblings Brandon (Jason Priestley) and Brenda Walsh (Shannen Doherty) as they adjusted to their new lives in the affluent environs of the zip code of the title, where they attended the fictional West Beverly High with a tight-knit group of teenage friends: goodnatured jock Steve Sanders (Ian Ziering); brainy good-girl Andrea Zuckerman (Gabrielle Carteris); naive virgin Donna Martin (Tori Spelling); aspiring DJ David Silver (Brian Austin Green); blonde siren Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth); and troubled bad-boy Dylan McKay (Luke Perry). Like DegrassI, the series attempted social commentary by crafting storylines featuring a wide range of issues affecting '90s teens, includ- ing alcoholism, drug abuse, sex, and depression. Groundbreaking and iconic, 90210's fourth season finds most of the cast beginning their first year of college at California University, moving out on their own, and facing the challenges of adult life. Disc 1 includes the following episodes: "So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye," "The Girl From New York City," "Little Fish" and "Greek To Me." Additional Actors: Joe E. Tata, Michael Cudlitz, Mark Kiely, Jennifer Grant, Katherine Cannon, Rachel True, Matt Porretta, Zachary Throne, Brooke Theiss, Paul Johansson.

  • Nazi Lizards from Outer Space: the Politics, Literature, and Cultural History of Kenneth Johnson’S V
    NAZI LIZARDS FROM OUTER SPACE: THE POLITICS, LITERATURE, AND CULTURAL HISTORY OF KENNETH JOHNSON’S V by Dan Copp A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in English Middle Tennessee State University August 2015 Thesis Committee: Dr. David Lavery, Chair Dr. Mischa Renfroe, Reader This thesis is dedicated to my wife, Marcia, whose encouragement inspired me to persevere until the end. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I thank my parents for their unyielding support and encouragement. I would also like to thank Dr. Rhonda McDaniel for allowing me to squeeze into her Research and Bibliography class in the eleventh hour and for inspiring me to endure these trying years of graduate school by providing me with the foundation to effectively research and write this thesis. Next, I would like to thank the late Dr. John Clements, whose encyclopedic literary acumen and passion for the printed word inspired me to pursue English at Indiana State University all those years ago. I would also like to thank Dr. David Lavery for his unflagging support and suggestions that enabled this project to evolve from a class term paper to a nearly one-hundred-page master’s thesis. Thank you, also, to Dr. Mischa Renfroe for her invaluable input and to Luke Patton for his creative insight. Finally, I would like to thank Kenneth Johnson for taking the time to correspond with me and for bringing so many memorable creations to life which helped legitimized science fiction television for future generations. iii ABSTRACT When Kenneth Johnson’s NBC science fiction miniseries V premiered on May 1, 1983, it took America by storm.
