Riverworld

Riverworld: Directed by Stuart Gillard. With Tahmoh Penikett, Mark Deklin, Peter Wingfield, Jeananne Goossen. Welcome to Riverworld, a place of strange, watery beauty and the current abode of a fascinating cast of the recently (and not-so-recently) dead. It certainly isn’t Heaven, but it just might be Hell.

This is the same story that was in the previous version of the film from six years prior, but all the fine details are different.
Instead of an astronaut, our main character is a reporter, and instead of space collision, it’s a terrorist bombing that kills him, in an extremely well lit club in which the people at the well lit bar are watching a news story about terrorism, you know, like normal people do. Tamoha Pinket gets the starring role, it’s a shame he never made the leap from televistion to movies, I think he’d be a fantastic leading man. Along side him is Laura Vandervort, who I only know because she was supergirl in Smallville.

The story is slightly different, but the main beats are all there, they die on Earth, get resurrected on some planet full of rivers, and they fight the people that were there before them, with a meta mystery of why they’re there and what their purpose on Riverworld really is. There’s some blue skinned aliens in fancy robes that pulling the strings in the background with some of the most gratuitous prime directive breaking you’ll find outside of Star Trek, and this time around, there’s a nuclear device in play that ends a couple characters rather definitively. That being said, apparently when you die on Riverworld you just get respawns down the road from where you died at, with little chance of being born on the other side of the planet. I have questions about the basic levels of technology, the afore mentioned planetary position for the respawn, and the reverance that this series seems to put on Mark Twain is just weird, but it all works for the most part. Unfortunately, this is again the pilot episode of a series that never launched, but it was structured better than the first one in terms of supporting itself as a stand alone movie. It does end on a “well, we’ll see what happens NEXT TIME!” emotional note, but there’s no payoff for that, so you’ll need to break out one of the 5 books to see what happens next. Spoilers: lots of killing.

Torchy Gets Her Man

Torchy Gets Her Man: Directed by William Beaudine. With Glenda Farrell, Barton MacLane, Tom Kennedy, Willard Robertson. A notorious counterfeiter passes himself off as a Secret Service agent to Steve and gets him to unwittingly help him bilk the racetrack out of tens of thousands.

Oh what a fool I was, assuming that “getting her man” meant she was finally going to be married! All’s well that ends well, as Glenda Farrell and Barton MacLane are both back as Torchy and McBride, apparently the actors they tried to go with didn’t get the reception that WB was hoping for, so now we’re back to the tried and true. This is a fun story of a counterfeiting ring that’s dropping fake bills at the local dog track, and police are working with the Feds to track them down! Or are they? Due to some typical shenanigans with Gahagan, the crooks are controlling the lines of communication between the local cops and the Feds and feel they’re in a good place to finish dispensing their bad bucks. Unfortunately they didn’t account for Torchy to be on the case (and neither did the Feds, cops, or McBride), and she goes about figuring things out as only Torchy could. I think this is the first Torchy film with no murders or deaths, not that there weren’t several attempts! I also think this is the most ‘in car’ scenes that I’ve seen yet in the series, as there’s several car chases and stake outs that all take place in an absolutely gorgeous convertible that Gahagan rented with the winnings he received from working a madman’s version of a system at the dog track.

It’s a great story and it’s nice to see Farrell and MacLane again, they have great chemistry.
