This movie is one of my "guilty pleasures". Pictured below is Olivia Newton-John as "Kira" the muse. To the right is Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly dancing it up to a song called "Whenever You're Away From Me". |

Yeah, I'm an avid comic
book reader. As a little kid, I remember going to the local
Rexall Drug store with my older brother, Dave, and picking out a
comic book to take home and read. Often I would come home with a
SpiderMan comic, or sometimes a Batman or Superman. I just wish
that comic books still cost thirtyfive cents, like the good old
days.

Terry Brooks is my
favorite author of the science fiction and fantasy genre. He
wrote his first book, The Sword of Shannara, in 1977. He also was
a practicing attorney at the time. The Sword of Shannara spent
more than 5 months as a New York Times bestseller.
One of the coolest movies ever made. This movie took computer
animation into a whole new direction. The musical score by Wendy Carlos
is awesome. And, all in all, the story is still awesome, albeit a
bit outdated.
