The Wizard of Oz, a review by addicted2dvd
Stars: Judy Garland as Dorothy Frank Morgan (1890) as Professor Marvel Ray Bolger as "Hunk" Bert Lahr as "Zeke" Jack Haley (1898) as "Hickory" Plot: Whisked away by a swirling tornado, 12-year-old Dorothy, her dog Toto, and even her Kansas farmhouse, sail over the rainbow and into the dazzling land of Oz. Filled with playful Munchkins, enchanted forests and endless surprises, this dream-come-true world is one great adventure after another. But the most wondrous adventure of all begins when Dorothy and her newfound friends go in search of the kingdom's mysterious Wizard and the secret that will lead her home. Extras:
My Thoughts: This one is a true classic... though one that has been played through-out my life. As I remember it becoming an annual thing of the family all watching it together. But it is a fun movie with a great cast. Well worth the time put to watch it. Rating: (From July Movie Marathon: Musicals (Yes... You read right!) on July 18th, 2016) Poltergeist, a review by addicted2dvd
Stars: Craig T. Nelson JoBeth Williams Beatrice Straight Dominique Dunne Oliver Robins Heather O'Rourke Plot: "They're here." And they seem almost whimsical at first, playing stack-the-chair games in the kitchen of the Freelings' suburban home. Then things turn darker. A storm erupts, a tree attacks, little Carol Anne Freeling is whisked into a spectral void. And as her family confronts a chain reaction of horrors and fights to bring the youngster back, something else is here too: a new benchmark in Hollywood ghost stories. Producers Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall and director Tobe Hooper head the elite scream team of this spooktacular whose nerve-jangling effects include floating phantasms, the fiercest monster ever to pop out of a closet and an entire house collapsing into nothingness. Welcome to Home Sweet Haunted Home. Extras: Scene Access Feature Trailers Closed Captioned My Thoughts: I haven't watched this one is quite some time. While the movie does have a bit of a slow start... it definitely makes up for it with a great story. The haunting starts pretty mild... moving things around and such much to the enjoyment and entertainment of the mother. But before you know it things takes a turn for the worse. It has been so long since I watched this one that I forgot how good it is. I enjoyed every minute of watching this one again. If by any chance you have not seen this movie before... I highly recommend it. My Rating Out of a Possible 5 Count: Movie Count: 49 TV Ep. Count: 17 Other Count: 3 (From Month Long Horror/Halloween Marathon: 2010 on October 13th, 2010) Charmed Marathon, a review by addicted2dvdDisc 6: 20. Witch Wars The Charmed Ones' powers are in jeopardy when they are tricked into taking part in a new demonic reality television show, where demon contestants compete to hunt down the sisters. The winning demon acquires their powers. My Thoughts: This one I really got a kick out of... was one of the good ones. I liked how they made fun of Reality TV. Definitely one of my favorites. 21. It's A Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad World After Chris and Leo fall through a portal that transports them to an evil mirrored world, Phoebe and Paige must travel to the parallel universe to rescue them while battling their evil counterparts. My Thoughts: This was a good episode... but not one of my favorites... especially for a season finale. It just came off a little to silly for my tastes. But it wasn't really bad. It definitely had it's moments. Over-All Season 6 Thoughts: This is one of my favorite seasons. I really enjoy the character of Chris and how they handled his storyline from beginning to end. I liked how they didn't let us know much about him... and how we just got drabs of info on him through-out the season. Unfortunately, like most seasons of Charmed there is no Charmed related extras what so ever in this set. All you get is a handful of trailers for other series on the first disc.(From Charmed Marathon on July 11th, 2008) |
