Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh, a review by addicted2comics

Glad to hear you liked it Emma. Over the weekend, I saw a movie that is an instant clasic family-comedy TV movie, so I know you guys would like to hear about it!


Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh

Description:Drake and Josh get jobs at the mall, one as Santa Claus and the other as his assistant. While working, they meet a less-fortunate girl and makes her a promise that this will be the best Christmas ever, or face jail time.

My Thoughts:I was always a fan of the Drake & Josh tv show, and equally a fan of Miranda Cosgrove's (Meghan in the movie) new show iCarly.This movie came out last year and came out on DVD. I thought it was really funny despite what I've read in reviews of other sites. Some real highlights were Drake Bell and the foster kids singing 12 Days of Christmas and Jingle Bells in a real modern style.

From Josh's cellmate, to the foreign kid whom nobody knows what language he' speaking, to Josh falling off the top of a tree, to an officer and his pet monkey, I think this movie spreads a clear message across of Christmas being a season of giving, and that combined with the hilarity is enough for me to give it a 4 out of 5. It in some aspects didn't match with the continuity of the show (like using the old theater when it burned down in Really Big Shrimp) but that's ok.

The Legend of the Hell House, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: The Legend of the Hell House
Movie Count: 23
TV Ep Count: 5
Time Started: 4pm
Plot:
 It sits here, shrouded in mist and mystery, a nesting place for living evil and terror from the dead. It's Hell House. Roddy McDowall heads the cast of this exciting chiller about four psychic investigators and the dark, brooding mansion they themselves call "the Mt. Everest of haunted houses." It's already destroyed one team of researchers. Now this brave quartet ventures in for another try at unraveling its secret. But before they succeed, they must suffer through madness, murder and everything else the spirits that dwell here have in store for them. Yet learning the truth just might drive them all insane. An ingeniously-devised ghost story, THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE will thrill and delight veteran horror fans from the first creaking door to the very last slithering shadow.

My Thoughts:
This was another Blind Buy I got from Wal-Mart for $5 from their Halloween Display. I bought this one because a good friend of mine suggested it... and since she knows my tastes in movies I felt comfortable checking it out. And let me say... I am really glad I did! This movie had me glued to the TV from start to finish! At times there is nothing better then a good haunted house story... and when you are in that mood this movie is a perfect solution. I highly recommend it!

Ottifanten


Ottifanten are cartoon characters created by Otto Waalkes, a famous German comedian. This series is based on them and first aired in the nineties. I had watched some of the episodes when it first aired. I enjoyed them. The best humor comes from the baby, whose thoughts are voiced by Otto Waalkes himself.
