This one I really enjoyed. I liked all the characters and it has a good story. I definitely felt Hepburn did a wonderful job in this one. I couldn't imagine the role being done any better. Peck was also good here. I knew the character would do what was right in the end... so I can't say it wasn't predictable. But even being predictable the story keeps you invested through-out with ease. This one is definitely worth the time put in to watch it.

It was time for a film I know I like to save this marathon. I saw this at the cinema and I really liked it.
I first came to attention of this film when I saw the trailer and saw that Claire Danes is in it. She stars as a star . A role she plays really well.
What I liked about this movie: Though it walks a fine line to being a cheesy fairy tell/fantasy movie, it never crosses the line to it. Most times saved by some wise cracking ghosts

This movie also includes a hilarious supporting role for Robert De Niro and also Rick Gervais has a nice cameo.

If you like Princess Bride, I really recommend to check out this movie.

Supernatural Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

EPISODE 6: Skin
A demonic shape-shifter adopts the likeness of Sam's college buddy to commit a gruesome murder. When the brother's investigate, the being "borrows" Dean's form to continue his killing spree.

Guest Stars:
Amy Grabow as Rebecca
Peter Shinkoda as Alex
Marrett Green as Anchorman
Anita Brown as Lindsay

My Thoughts:
Another good episode. I liked how they worked in how Dean has some form of resentment to Sam... and now Sam knows it. I also liked how the Shape Shifter changed shapes... it was pretty gross.

My Rating:
