Maleficent, a review by addicted2dvd
Stars: Angelina Jolie as Maleficent Elle Fanning as Aurora Sharlto Copley as Stefan Lesley Manville as Flittle Imelda Staunton as Knotgrass Plot: Explore the untold story of Disney's most iconic villain in this wickedly fun twist on the classic Sleeping Beauty. In an unforgiving mood after a neighboring kingdom threatens her forest, Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) places an irrevocable curse on the king's newborn daughter, the Princess Aurora. But as the child grows, Maleficent finds herself becoming fond of the girl. And as the conflict between the two realms intensifies, Maleficent realizes that Aurora may hold the key to peace in the land. Journey beyond the fairy tale in this soaring adventure that is "visually arresting, brilliantly designed" (Andrew Barker, Variety). Extras:
My Thoughts: I found this to be a good and interesting take on the story. Though I must admit that I was limited on knowledge of the story to start with. I must say the visual effects was good and story easily kept my attention. I thought that Angelina Jolie did a great job as the title character. Actually I think everyone did well. For me the downside to this one is that the 3 fairies that took care of Aurora were a bit silly and aggravating to watch. But over all well worth the time put in to watch it. Rating: (From What Movies I Been Watching on December 4th, 2016) Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a review by addicted2dvdTitle: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Movie Count: 24 TV Ep Count: 6 Time Started: 2:30pm Plot: Blonde, bouncy Buffy (KRISTY SWANSON) is your typical high school cheerleader - her goal is to "marry Christian Slater and die" and nothing gets in her way when it's time to shop. But all that changes when a strange man (DONALD SUTHERLAND) informs her she's been chosen by fate to kill vampires. With the help of a romantic rebel (LUKE PERRY), Buffy is soon spending school nights protecting L.A. from Lothos, the Vampire King (RUTGER HAUER), his sidekick, Lefty (PAUL REUBENS), and their determined gang of bloodsuckers. It's everything you'd expect from a teen queen in the Valley. My Thoughts: Thought it was about time for me to slip in a Comedy-Horror. I enjoy a good comedy horror now and then. I know a lot of people that prefer the TV Series to this movie... and I agree... I do enjoy the series more... but I do still enjoy the movie as well. The thing is... with this one... I do definitely enjoy it and find myself coming back to it multiple times. But I have no idea why I enjoy watching this movie as much as I do. It isn't particularly that funny... but all the same I still really get a kick out of it. My Rating Out of a Possible 5 (From My Month Long Horror/Halloween Marathon: 2008 on October 6th, 2008) The Flash Marathon, a review by addicted2dvdThe Flash Marathon Image: Barry behind bars? Episode 20 - Good Night, Central City Sweet dreams, citizens. Thieves who possess a sleep-inducing machine plan to pick banks and jewelry stores clean while everyone in Central City experiences a deep slumber. Guest Stars: Bill Mumy as Roger Braintree Richard Belzer as Joe Kline Matt Landers as Harry Milgrim Vito D'Ambrosio as Bellows Biff Manard as Murphy Mike Genovese as Lt. Warren Garfield My Thoughts: A good episode. I did like seeing Barry Allen in a bit of trouble... needing to clear his name. Made for an interesting episode. This one has Bill Mumy in it. I know there was a kid actor in a few episodes of the original Twilight Zone by that name. But I have to wonder if this is the same person or not. I say that because this show was made in 90/91 and he only looked to be in his mid 20s. Though I guess he could have just looked young for his age and be in the mid 30s here. Making it possible I guess. My Rating: (From The Flash Marathon on April 26th, 2010) |
