"Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)", the kid was playing Tempest.

Speaking of Tempest:
I can't remember if there was a Tempest cocktail at Maximum Overdrive.

There's a short flash of Tempest in the bar scene at Short Circuit.

I think "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" has one.

Recently watched a movie "Night of the Comet(1984)", Catherine Mary Stewart(Last Starfighter) was playing Tempest in two scenes; In the first scene she learns she has all top ten scores except #6...Second scene she beats the 6 spot score and enters initials...then having all top 10 records, now that makes sense, not. I recommend the movie if you like Catherine Mary playing Tempest, Cindy Lauper and zombies. Could have been a better one without last two though. This is a rare piece, since there weren't many zombie movies in the 80's...
7/10, because of Cath playing Tempest, otherwise 6.

Off topic, or is it... Just watched "Colossus, the Forbin Project(1970)", a great movie! Recommended if you like "2001, A Space Odyssey and Wargames. I think Alex likes the former atleast. ;)
9/10

Laterz,
TT

The Last Starfighter
=someone wrote review


Author: rams_lakers from Colorado

Similar to Star Wars only in that an earth teen gets plucked from his home and ends up in a space star fight. The story is fresh though and it is enjoyable to watch. The pre-CG effects and aliens were pretty good and the acting was decent. The only negatives I will point out is that the villain looks pretty lame and not intimidating at all with his poofy white hair and bald head, and Lance Guest's open-mouthed look of wonder (somewhat similar to Corey Haim's goofy gawk) gets really annoying. My favorite is the first hour, for me the star fight seemed anti-climactic. Going through all the fun to get up there was more entertaining. I give it a 6 out of 10.
