Dial 1119, a review by Antares

Dial 1119 (1950) 65/100 - Before I started the film, I watched the trailer and it looked like a pretty good premise for a noir. But it's let down by some bad acting and some melodramatic dialog that really doesn't sound right when spoken by certain characters. Marshall Thompson, in the beginning of the film, has a quiet menace to him. But as the story progresses, and he kills someone in the bar, he suddenly looks as though he's a little kid who has had a bit too much sugar and has ants in his pants. He bounces all over the screen looking like someone who just needs a good spanking. Andrea King, who plays a young woman who is about to go away on a trip with a married man, does some of the worst acting I've ever seen in a film. The only bright spots in the cast are William Conrad and Virginia Field, who play a bartender and a barfly floozy. Had MGM found a more seasoned actor for the main role, and maybe a much more talented director who could bring a bit more focus on the part of the cast, then this might have turned out to be a small classic. It's not a bad film, just one that could have been crafted better.

Teal = Masterpiece
Dark Green = Classic or someday will be
Lime Green = A good, entertaining film
Orange = Average
Red = Cinemuck
Brown = The color of crap, which this film is

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

Desperate Housewives
Experience the television phenomenon that has fans cheering and critics raving. "Refreshingly original, bracingly adult and thoroughly delightful, Desperate Housewives is like the answer to a TV prayer you didn't know you'd made," says Robert Bianco of USA TODAY.

Now you can spend the night with the women of Wisteria Lane and relive every minute of the weekly television event that heated up water coolers from coast to coast. With spectacular bonus features, including extended, unrated episodes, this sizzling six-disc set is full of surprises and loaded with entertainment.

PILOT
One bright sunny afternoon on Wisteria lane, housewife and mother Mary Alice Young ended her seemingly perfect life. Now, in death, Mary Alice sees the lives of her four best friends and neighbors, Susan, Gabrielle, Bree and Lynette, and their most intimate secrets. Single mom Susan has a crush on new resident Mike, model-turned-trophey-wife Gabrielle is having an affair with her seventeen-year-old gardner, perfectionist homemaker Bree is driving her family crazy, and former career woman Lynette is stressed beyond belief from her quartet of out-of-control kids. Together these four women try to solve the mystery of what drove Mary Alice to shoot herself.

My Thoughts:
This show is an odd case for me. It is a series I never even considered collecting before. But then I won a copy of season 1 on an online contest. So I check it out.. and found this series is pretty addicting. Once you start watching you just don't want to stop. Then once I finally came to the end of the season I was like that was fun... but I am in no hurry to get season 2. And what happens? Our good friend Roger gives me a copy of season 2! And once again... I am addicted to watching this series till the end of season 2. Now today I watch the pilot episode again... and I can see myself watching this whole 2 seasons that I own once again. And even think about buying the next season.

But it seems like after a day or 2 of not watching this series I tend to forget about it and not worry about the next season any longer.

Now who has season 3 that they want to send me?
