V The Mini Series
4 of 4 found this helpful V is a Simple Story Of "Visitors" That arrive in 50 "Mother Ships" (One over Each of the Great capitals Of the world)And promise to bring their gift of science to us in exchange for just being able to use some of our factories to make a chemical they need to help them and then they will take it home to their planet which badly needs it as its facing some sort of ecological disaster.
What is soon found out of course is the "Visitors" motives are far from friendly. In fact they intend to steal our water and harvest the human population like cattle for their food needs.
Our hero Donavon a roving super reporter that has no fear it seems stumbles on the aliens real food needs and of course what they really look like when he hides aboard a " Visitor" shuttle.
He try,s the tell the world the truth but the "Visitors" are on to him and shut down all communication so he cant tell the whole world what he has found out.
The "Visitors" also create a climate of fear amongst the Earth population over their own scientists spreading lies about them telling the world that they have been sitting on fantastic discoveries for years and are planing to attack the " Mother Ships" This is of course a very good plot to stop the science community finding out what their real motives are and then trying to stop them.
As you watch ordinary people start to shun the scientists and their families their is a clear analogy to the Germans and the Jews of Pre War Germany ( Their is even a Concentration camp survivor and his family to ram this home) and the question asked is either will you help them in their hour of need or blame them for the predicament they seem to have got themselves into and turn your back on them to save yourselves and your family.
The "Visitors" gradually take control of all the governments of the world and impose martial law with their help and use our own police force to help them impose their laws again a direct parallel to what happened to people in occupied countries during World War 2.
V is not just an "Us and Them" story in fact it shows that although our races are really very different their are people and "Visitor" aliens more than willing to risk their own lives to stop this evil master plan being carried out.
It also shows their are many Earth People Donavon's mother included that are more than happy to deal with the aliens either because of financial gain, fear, plain lust over some of the visitors or in some case's a position of prestige and power they could only dream about.
This theme runs through the mini series and the series that followed it.
You can look at it as Straight Sci-Fy or as a remake of some World War two series with Human population as the "resistance" and the " Visitors" as the modern day Nazis except this time wearing red jump suits and caps instead of Black Uniforms and helmets! They both seem to like Jack boots though! :)
They even have their own "swastika" of sorts a symbol that appears on all their shuttles and uniforms and the posters they plaster around trying to convince the population if they play ball everything will be fine.
Its fun its good to watch and Diana as the evil alien is sex on legs lol Watch this and then watch the Modern remake both are just as good as each other on different levels

Dirty Harry (1971)
This Film shows Clint Eastwood at his best as uber calm and uber cool "Harry Callahan" ( Dirty Harry )
The Film is set in San Francisco and the city is being held to ransom by a sniper calling himself "Scorpio" He has already Killed twice and will kill again unless the city pays $100,000 or " Dirty Harry" can stop him.
This first film of the series has the basic formula that all the others will follow with "Harry" acting almost as a loan wolf fighting a justice system which unwitingly helps free the killers hes trying to catch, and his superiors as they try (and fail) to curb his brand of 44 Magum Justice.
The film also has one of the best movie lines ever " You've got to ask yourself one question DO I FEEL LUCKY? WELL, DO YA, PUNK?!"
In a 2009 poll for MTV NEWS "Harry Callahan" was voted the "Greatest Movie Bad Ass of all time beating the likes of RAMBO,Ripley and John Mclane ( Die Hard ) to the top spot which shows although many times copied its never been bettered.
He also has a very unfortunate habbit of getting his partners Killed or injured but that dose not stop him being respected by all his fellow officers if not by his his superiors.
This film and the four sequals that followed it cemented Clint Eastwood as a Majour star and film maker.

V The Final Battle
This series carries on from V The Final Battle. It's a year since the "visitors" have been driven from the Earth due to the release of the " Red Dust" making the Earth supposedly uninhabitable for them.
Diana has been captured and been waiting for her trial for amongst other things crimes against humanity and cannibalism as she says to her captor later on its just a matter of taste!
She escapes due to a certain Earth Mans greed wanting to tap into her brain to solve all the worlds ills and then kill her later but what he doesn't bargain for is that Donovan and Martin ( The Visitor that helped him ) track them to where she is being held and Martin unwittingly helps her escape.
She sends a distress signal and gets picked up and taken to the fleet hiding behind the moon she soon realizes that the " Red Dust" is not working as it should parts of the planet are still uninhabitable but parts now are and she launches a full scale invasion to take Earth back for the Visitors.
Although a great part of the planet is still a no go area for the "visitors" they grab a foothold and LA is declared an open city to save it.
Again the "Star Child" ( A Visitor Human hybrid) takes a central role with both aliens and humans desperately trying to find her to use her for their own ends.
Its very enjoyable sci fi with the visitors again acting out their roles as Fascist dictators in the role of Nazis and Diana doing everything she can to both defeat the Humans and become the Supreme leader of the visitors themselves this woman is very fair she dose not care who she has to kill both human or visitor to get what she wants.
Again a good way to while away a few hours but not quite as good as the remake which takes it to a whole new level that said its well worth watching I hope you enjoy it as much as i did and remember to get the best out of it watch it in order V/V The Final Battle/ V The series Enjoy!
