Tron

Here is one those Eighties classics that became a staple in the acid houses. Jeff Bridges gets all jiggy with the black light action as a computer hacker who gets whisked into a game world for real. In the visual department this baby is a wonder as they used actual animation techniques rather than computer generated and the results are a captivating feast for the eyes. Sadly, it could have doen with a bit more scripting but hey, it's a Disney film and it was meant for the kiddies....not a bunch of stoned out tripsters who raised it to cult status It is interesting to note this film has both Bruce Boxleitner and Peter Jurasik who would go on to star in our beloved BABYLON 5. Davis Warner does his thing as yet another villain and it's a hoot to watch him try to keep his beer belly sucked in and speak at the same time. Hey, not knocking Warner in any way shape or form here but they have the poor man in body tights and it's just a funny thing to notice. Speaking of body tights, Cindy Morgan spends a fine amount of time running around in one too. Now there is a black light poster I wouldn't mind having!
