The Witches of Eastwick, a review by Dragonfire

The Witches of Eastwick

---

I decided to start early with this one late Sunday night.  I know it isn't exactly horror, but I like watching it closer to Halloween.  This is the first time I've watched it in a few years.  The movie is entertaining, though I could have done without the nasty snakes at one point.  I think it would have been interesting if they had explored more of the abilities of the women.  I've been interested in reading the book for a while, but I haven't yet.  I need to look for that again.  I did really notice when watching the movie this time that the picture quality isn't that good - blu-ray has spoiled me I think - and some of the effects stand out a lot and are very dated looking.  The movie is still entertaining and worth checking out.

I did write about this one here before.  I also posted a longer review on Epinions a few years ago.

Mortuary, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: Mortuary
Movie Count: 54
TV Ep Count: 18
Time Started: 11:30am
Plot:
The director of 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre', 'Poltergeist', and 'Toolbox Murders' is back with his latest horrifying creation...

In the small town of Santa Loraina, California, the decrepit, long-abandoned Fowler Funeral Home has become a local legend. As the story tells it, Zeb Fowler bought the land to start up a ranching business, but something killed off all the cattle. To make ends meet, Zeb became the town mortician, and the Fowler house was turned into a funeral home - complete with a cemetery for a yard. But the strangest part of the story is the Fowler's son Bobby, whose face was so hideously disfigured it was hidden beneath a burial shroud. At age eight, Bobby mysteriously vanished, and ten years later his parents were found murdered - their faces smashed in. Locals believe that Bobby is still alive.

Today, the Fowler Funeral Home is the stuff nightmares are made of - backed-up sewage pooling the yard, a house of filth, decay, coffins, embalming equipment, and a strange black fungus growing on everything - and now the Doyle family is moving in.

Having recently lost her husband, Leslie Doyle ('Denise Crosby') is relocating her two children, Jonathan ('Dan Byrd') and Jamie ('Stephanie Patton'), to Santa Loraina so she can become the town's new mortician. But the Doyles have no idea of the horror that they're in for. Soon they'll uncover what happened to the Fowlers - what evil inhabits the grounds of the estate and what happens to anyone who steps foot there....

My Thoughts:
After watching "Pet Sematary" I felt like watching the only other horror movie I have with Denise Crosby in it. I enjoyed this one... but not the best I have seen out there. It definitely worth the time put into it. Though it is one of those horrors that leaves you wonder what the heck was that? Not that it is a big deal... as a lot of horror movies will leave a big question mark on that.

Smallville Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

13. HERO
Look who's back. Clark is thrilled to catch up with Pete Ross, his old school pal. And he's dismayed to discover Pete has acquired a meteor power that could leave him vulnerable to exploiters like Lex.

My Thoughts:
This is a good episode. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It was good to see Pete Ross back... been too long without him. I still hope to see him on the show again before it is all over. One thing I have to say about this episode. I don't think they could be more obvious about product placing then they are here. Talk about going overboard.

My Rating:

14. TRAVELER


My Thoughts:
This is a good episode. We now have Supergirl/Kara back. It also makes you wonder if Lionel really is good now or not.

My Rating:

15. VERITAS


My Thoughts:
This is a pretty good episode. Though not as good as the last few. For some reason this one just didn't really hold my interest as much.

My Rating:

16. DESCENT
Lex is driven to discover the secret of Veritas, even if it sets his life on a path of no redemption...even if it means the murder of someone near to him. Another killer also surfaces, a mysterious figure who may be determined to protect Clark's secret.

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed this one. It ios time to say goodbye to one of the main cast. Shame... I always liked the character whether he was playing a good guy, a bad guy or if you just weren't sure.

My Rating:
