The AHCA cuts taxes on people making more than $250,000 a year by $600 billion, and reduces spending on Medicaid and health insurance subsidies for poor and middle class people by around the same amount.
There’s lots of other tweaks to the system involved, most of them for the worse, but that’s actually what this is about. It’s all it was ever about.
So a while back, I posted a list of every MST3k movie Leonard Maltin had reviewed. Since then, of course, we’ve gotten new MST3k movies, so I figured it was time for an update.
Note: I’m actually posting the full reviews (which are still only a few sentences at most), since both the app and the book have been discontinued in the years since I first made the post. Sorry, Len. I wish either one was still around, preferably the app, which has been incredibly useful in a pinch. (And to add insult to injury, because it hasn’t been updated in years, it will be incompatible with iOS 11. Sigh.)
Also, I’m hiding the content because I’m sure there are people who still want to avoid spoilers.
Spirited flashes of imagination heighten this sci-fi story about scientists who journey into the future and find their actions there will affect the past. Not bad, with downbeat ending; one of the first American films photographed by Vilmos Zsigmond.
Avalanche:Â 2 stars
Disaster at the newly opened ski resort where hard-driving tycoon Hudson is determined to double his not insubstantial investment while his ex-wife Mia is making whoopee with one of the locals championing ecology. Stodgy performances almost outweighed by special effects.
The Beast of Hollow Mountain:Â 2 1/2 stars
Unusual combination of Western and monster-on-the-loose formula works well, with clever ending. From screen story by Willis O'Brien. Filmed in Mexico.
Starcrash:Â 1 1/2 stars
Grinning Gortner and sexy Munro are recruited to save the universe from destruction by bad-guy Spinell. Moronic sci-fi movie with variable special effects; unless you're a Munro fan, it's only good for a few laughs, nothing more. Aka FEMALE SPACE INVADERS.
The Land That Time Forgot:Â 2 1/2 stars
Edgar Rice Burroughs' 1918 sci-fi novel about Germans and Americans in WW1 submarine discovering unknown land in South America is not bad as adventure yarn, but special effects (dinosaurs, volcanic eruption) are not convincing. Sequel: THE PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT.
The Christmas That Almost Wasn't:Â 1 1/2 stars
Santa Claus hijack makes for weak kiddie fare, none too thrilling for grown-ups either.
At the Earth's Core:Â 2 1/2 stars
Much as I’d love to try and binge the new MST3k, I realize that I can’t realistically watch all of them in a day. Even taking into account that I’ve seen the first episode, and even assuming that the holiday episode is held off until the holidays, that’s approximately 1,080 minutes of “MST3k.” That’s 18 hours.
That doesn’t leave much room in the day for eating, breathing and other science facts.
