At that time SG-1 has emerged with the quality science fiction and an enemy at times very cool in the Go’auld shape. Now the torch has passed to the upper considerbly Stargate Atlantis (in [...]

I rented this movie because I’m leaving on honeymoon to Cuba and I am researching anything and everything. I never thought that this movie obsure Sean Connery to be good - but it is!

Kevin Costner has become synonymous with baseball, from the 90’s melodramatic ‘Field of Dreams. “However, for a look back at his obssession with the sport, you will not find a couple of hours spent in the fall” Bull Durham.
