5ive Days to Midnight, a review by addicted2dvd

5ive Days to Midnight (TV Miniseries)
J.T. Neumeyer, a brilliant physics professor, receives a police file from the future with explicit detail of a gruesome murder - his own. Complete with photos and a list of suspects, the file indicates that the murder will take place in five days. When real-life events begins to mirror those in the report, the skeptical J.T. realizes the file is real and time is quickly running out. He has only days to solve the mystery of his own murder... and hopefully change his destiny.

Stars:
Timothy Hutton as J.T. Neumeyer
Randy Quaid as Irwin Sikorski
Kari Matchett as Claudia Whitney
Hamish Linklater as Carl Axelrod
Angus MacFadyen as Roy Bremmer
Gage Golightly as Jesse Neumeyer

My Thoughts:
This is the 3rd time I watched this miniseries since I bought it. It is one that I have always enjoyed. 5ive Days to Midnight is an entertaining murder mystery with a little bit of sci-fi thrown in. I will admit that some of it is rather predictable... but that didn't take away from the enjoyment.

Superhero Movie, a review by addicted2dvd

Superhero Movie
Spider-Man, X-Men and the Fantastic Four will never be the same after this outrageously funny spoof of your favorite comic book movies! Drake Bell (Drake & Josh) stars as a nerdy high school student bitten by a genetically-altered dragonfly. He stumbles hilariously through the process of becoming a crime-fighter and as his powers grow, so do the laughs. Sara Paxton (Aquamarine) and Christopher McDonald (Spy Kids 2) costar as the clueless damsel in distress and the comically intense super villain, along with Pamela Anderson and Leslie Nielson. Going from superzero to superhero has never been this much fun!

My thoughts:
I normally really enjoy movie spoofs... and I normally love Superhero movies... so I went into this one fully expecting I would enjoy it.But I cam out of it with mixed feelings.There was parts of it that I really enjoyed... and yet parts that I found a little too stupid. I also didn't really care too much for the ending they chose. I found I liked the alternate ending better then the one they used. So even though I will enjoy this movie from time to time when I want to see something just stupid and silly... for the most part I am let down with this one. I wouldn't say to the point that I am sorry I bought it... more like I wish I would have waited till the price went down to under $10.

Just finished off the second season of Hearts Afire. They pretty much changed the entire series. Moved them away from Capital Hill... moving them to the small town John and Billy Bob grew up in. I found I am enjoying this new format a bit more then what they had for the first season. I was never much of a fan of the Senator character they all worked for in the first season. But I really enjoy the new characters of Madeline Stoessinger and Lonnie Garr. Definitely an improvement over the first season. Now I am looking forward to starting season 3.
