Cigarette Burns, a review by addicted2dvd

Cigarette Burns
Film is magic. And in the right hands, it can be a weapon. For on-the-ropes movie programmer Kirby Sweetman ('Norman Reedus' of THE BOONDOCK SAINTS and BLADE II), the holy grail of cinema is LE FIN ABSOLUE DU MONDE, a legendary lost movie whose sole showing was rumored to have driven its audience to a homicidal frenzy. But as Kirby gets closer to the truth about the film, he's sucked into a private hell of grisly hallucinations and brutal acts of violence. Now the only surviving print of the film is within his grasp... and the most horrific screening of all is about to begin.

'Udo Kier' (SUSPIRIA,THE KINGDOM) co-stars in this gore-drenched mind-blower written by 'Drew McWeeny' & 'Scott Swan', and directed by horror legend 'John Carpenter', the creator of THE THING, THE FOG, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, THEY LIVE and HALLOWEEN.

My Thoughts:
This one happens to be the very first episode I ever seen. It is the episode that got me hooked on the series. And is one that I consider one of the better episodes. It is a very strong and interesting film. But at the same time it is definitely a bit on the weird side. That... of course... is not a bad thing. This episode is also pretty heavy on the gore. More so the second half of the episode... but it is definitely there. Of course the quality and the extras are right up there with the previous episodes.

For those interested... here is the trailer

Creepy Clips: Girls Night Out, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: Creepy Clips: Girls Night Out
Movie Count:  7
TV Ep. Count:  1
Other Count:  1
Time Started:  11:40

Plot:
Creepy Clips : Girls Night Out is the first anthology of the erotic horror trilogy. It countains two tales of erotic terror.

My Thoughts:
Another one from the Mortuary of Madness 50 movie boxset. Naturally I am going into this one expecting much of nothing. This one didn't impress me much at all. It is another Anthology horror... though it seems hardly worth it to have one with only 2 stories... and no wraparound story. And the stories worried more about having half naked women dancing around then to create a decent story. Though the audio and video quality was better then I expected. There just wasn't enough to the stories themselves.

Tom's Random Star Trek Reviews, a review by Tom

Star Trek
2.26 Assignment: Earth
Writer: Art Wallace (Screenwriter), Gene Roddenberry (Original Material By), Art Wallace (Original Material By), Gene Roddenberry (Original Characters By)
Director: Marc Daniels
Cast: William Shatner (Kirk), Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock), DeForest Kelley (Dr. McCoy), Robert Lansing (Mister Seven), Terri Garr (Roberta Lincoln), James Doohan (Scott), George Takei (Sulu), Nichelle Nichols (Uhura), Walter Koenig (Chekov), Don Keefer (Cromwell), Lincoln Demyan (Sergeant), Morgan Jones (Col. Nesvig), Bruce Mars (First Policeman), Ted Gehring (Second Policeman), Paul Baxley (Security Chief)

This is an interesting case. It's a back-door pilot for a series which was never picked up. It's strange that Star Trek serves for introducing/spinning of a series, which is set in the present day (1968). Even though the Enterprise and crew play a minor role in this episode, I enjoyed it. I am a little curious how this series would have turned out. But I am not really surprised that it was not picked up.
This is also the first (and I think the only time), that the Enterprise travels through time just for fun (or as they say, for historical research).
