When director Steven Lisberger created TRON in 1982, he had no idea he would be influencing a whole new generation (and foreshadowing the computer revolution that was on the horizon).

The film finds Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) trapped in the computer grid of his own making and held hostage by a young, computer program version of himself dubbed Clu. It’s up to Flynn’s grown-up son Sam (Garrett Hedlund) to enter the computer world to save him. TRON: LEGACY […]Read On »

Thyne, Tamara Taylor, John Francis Daley, Scott Lowell Writer: Pat Charles Director: Emile Levisetti Network: Fox, Thursdays @ 9 PM Original Telecast: April 7, 2011 As regular viewers of BONES know, Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) is brilliant in many areas, but she’s largely unskilled in the art of apology, or even recognizing when she’s behaved in appropriately. In “The Feet on the Beach,” this issue comes to the fore when eight sets of disembodied feet wash up along the U.S./Canadian border. The Canadian scientist, Dr. Filmore (Scott Lowell), on the case […]Read On »

While much attention has been pointed toward the TRON: LEGACY reboot  that hit theaters in December and just hit Blu-ray this week, it’s time to remind people that the original TRON from 1982 was just as daring and ground-breaking.
