Zero Hour

Dark Deceiver
$16.98
Hey my name is Ian and I met Jasun and got his autograph in Virginia - he said I rule - nope, Zero Hour rules! What you have here is a band the guys in Rush and Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree and Emerson Lake and Palmer would be very impressed by if they haven't heard Zero Hour's music! I mean, I've been playing drums since 2 years old for 35 years and I just can't play like Mike Guy does. What a drummer! He's up there with NEIL PEART, Gavin Harrison and Mike Portnoy!! Jasun and his brother are so talented. This Cd is very original too. Youve never heard music quite like this except that the bass player plays as well as Geddy Lee and Jaco! Progressive rock is being impressed by technical excellence - Zero Hour passes the test! Buy all their CD's - support them! Like RUSH or Dream theater or Porcupine Tree? Wait - youre in for a treat with Zero Hour! Never stop Zero Hour!

Zero Hour: Crisis in Time
$17.99
A solid title with one of my favorite DC villains of all time. Classic crisis recipe of an all powerful being bent on universal distruction and and all knowing hero trying to scrounge up every hero with just the exact superpower needed for a specific roll to fill in an all or nothing 1 to 1 trillions odds plan to stop the god-like baddie. Full of deception and manipulation, definately a good buy and awesome addition to anyones collection

I personally don't like very complex games I love this game for long time no matter what super techies say abut this game I love it. It is simple and entertaining.

Cult Camp Classics 3 - Terrorized Travelers (Hot Rods to Hell / Skyjacked / Zero Hour!)
$29.98
Whether it's for a vacation or a business trip, typically the worst part of any excursion is the traveling. It can often be tedious and frustrating, and that's if only minor things go wrong. Sometimes, however, other things can intervene and make things even worse. Such is the premise of the three movies in the third volume of the Warner Brothers Cult Camp Classics, Terrorized Travelers.

The first movie in this set (chronologically) is Zero Hour! with Dana Andrews as an ex-fighter pilot who, even ten years after the end of the war, is still plagued by flashbacks of a mission gone wrong. This trauma has led to an erratic employment record and his wife decides to leave him. Andrews pursues her onto her airplane and tries to win her back during the flight. Then both pilots (and many of the passengers) come down with food poisoning, forcing Andrews to come to terms with his inner demons as he attempts to land the plane.

If this sounds familiar, it's because Airplane! is essentially a comic remake of this movie. The plot is almost the same, the titles both end in exclamation points and the main characters have the same names. There are little differences, such as Andrews is trying to reconnect with his wife and child while in Airplane!, Robert Hays's is seeking reconciliation with his girlfriend who's also a stewardess. Unfortunately, like me, most Zero Hour! viewers will be much more familiar with Airplane! than its predecessor, making it hard to look at the earlier film on its own merits. I found, however, that this is a generally decent movie, with Andrews as his usual solid and stolid character. Linda Darnell, however, is better at bad girl roles (like Fallen Angel, No Way Out and My Darling Clementine) than as Andrews's wife.

Dana Andrews is also in Hot Rods to Hell, the campiest of the movies in the set. This time, he is a father taking his family from Boston to California to run a motel After being nearly killed in an auto accident, Andrews is reluctant to get behind the wheel of a car, a feeling that isn't helped when he has some encounters with hot-rodding teens, one of whom is lusting after Andrews's teenage daughter. The basic message of the movie seems to be that all teenagers are bad (or at least stupid), but Andrews (and his June Cleaver-esque wife played by Jeanne Craine) are so square, it is hard to really root for them either. Everyone overacts in their one-dimensional roles (only the character of the former motel owner seems to have any real personality). This fits more in the "so-bad-it's-good" category than in either the "good" or "bad" slots.

Just as Andrews seems to connect the first two movies, Jeanne Crain links Hot Rods to Hell to Skyjacked, albeit in the rather minor role as a passenger. The lead here is Charlton Heston as the pilot of an airplane that is forced to be rerouted to Anchorage when a bomb threat appears on a restroom mirror. This is one of those all-star airplane disaster movies with, among others, Yvette Mimeux, James Brolin, Roosevelt Grier, Walter Pidgeon, Susan Dey and Mariette Hartley. This soap opera/thriller on a plane is passable entertainment but not really camp; I suppose it would've been campier if when Heston confronted the bomber, he proclaimed Moses-like, "Let my people go!"

This is all three-star fare with little in the way of extras. Zero Hour! has a certain extra value for Airplane! fans and Hot Rods to Hell has the camp factor, but this is just an okay set (of the first three, I rate this one in the middle, ahead of Volume 2 (Women in Peril) but behind the really fun Volume 1 (Sci-Fi Thrillers).
