Airwolf (1985) – Dambreakers and Severance Pay

  An exciting adventure for Stringfellow Hawke (Jan-Michael Vincent) leads off the episode installments this week! Dambreakers was written by Westbrook Claridge, Alfonse Ruggiero and Douglas Steinberg, with an original airdate of 16 March, 1985. Hawke flies an eager, young reporter, Kelly Dayton (Heather McNair) to a remote religious community to do a story. Having been…

Iron Man (2008) – Jon Favreau

  Robert Downey Jr. is perhaps the best superhero casting since Christopher Reeve in Superman: The Movie.

Die Hard (1988) – John McTiernan

In the future segment, we get to see Kiera (Rachel Nichols)on a simulation that sees her freezing…

Lost Girl S03E12 – Hail, Hale!

Which brings me to the Golan-Globus production of  Invasion U.S.A., a shoot-em-up romp starring the one and only Chuck…
