\"\"\/Watched “Spaceballs<\/a>” on DVD. It is old (from 1987), but it is as good as new. And I don’t know how I managed to miss it until now, because everyone is talking about it and it’s like classics.<\/p>\n

The movie is pretty funny. It spoofs about 20 movie or so. “Star Wars”, “Alien”, “2001: A Space Oddysey”, “Star Trek” – they are all there. Directed by Mel Brooks<\/a>, same guy who brought us “Robin Hood: Men in Tights<\/a>” and a bunch of other good comedies, with great cast, excellent costumes and decorations, as well as soundtrack, this movie is a really must see.<\/p>\n

My favourite places were the “jammed radar” and the Rambo-like shooting by the princess. But the rest of the movie was pretty cool too. I’d rate is as a 8 out of 10. Either they don’t make movies like this anymore, or I cannot find them.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
