Frankenstein (1931), a review by addicted2dvd

Frankenstein (1931)
Boris Karloff stars as the screen's most memorable monster in what many consider to be the greatest horror film ever made. Dr. Frankenstein dares to tamper with life and death by creating a human moster out of lifeless body parts. It's adaptation of the Mary Shelley novel blended with Karloff's compassionate portrayal of a creature groping for identity that makes "Frankenstein" a masterpiece not only for the genre, but for all time.

My Thoughts:
And this would be the first thing I ever seen Boris Karloff in. Another really good classic monster movie. I enjoyed every moment of it.The audio/video is in very good condition... especially considering the age of the movie. Another one that has a nice collection of extras with it... even though I only watched the Theatrical Trailer so far.

Do Not Disturb, a review by GSyren

Title	Do Not Disturb
Year	1965
Director	Ralph Levy
Stars	Doris Day, Rod Taylor, Hermione Baddeley, Sergio Fantoni, Reginald Gardiner
Overview	Screen legend Doris Day stars opposite Rod Taylor in this fun-packed romantic romp. American couple Mike and Janet Harper must relocate to London for Mike's job as a wool executive. Arriving in Blighty the happily married pair soon start to encounter marital problems. When Mike starts at the new office he has his head turned by a new secretary and Janet, who is not getting the attention she feels she deserves, is taken in by the charms of an amorous antiques dealer, leading to jealousy issues with hilarious consequences. Is the marriage doomed or will the couple see the error of their ways?
My thoughts	I have to confess: I love Doris Day! I have bought pretty much every DVD with her that I have been able to find. That said, this is not her best film. She and Rod Taylor don't have the same chemistry as she and Rock Hudson. The studio backlot may be ok as a French street, but it's rather unconvincing as the English countryside. The story is pretty contrived in parts, but I guess many comedies are. Still, the film has its moments. There's a bit of an in-joke when on of the French kids learns that she is American and asks her if she knows Rock Hudson. And the title tune is pretty catchy, song by... guess who. Britt Ekland is supposed to have an uncredited appearance, but I didn't spot her. I'd give Doris a four, but for the film a weak three is generous, so all in all it's 3 1/2 at best.

NCIS Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

5. THE CURSE
When a Navy lieutenant's mummified remains are discovered almost ten years after he was reported missing along with one million dollars from his ship's safe, Gibbs and his team Investigate the death as well as the theft.

My Thoughts:
This was a really good episode. Leave it to Abby to bring up a curse of some sort over such a find. Once again... I have to say... I loved the way Gibbs bluffed his way through to get the confession they needed. Some of the things he comes up with is just too cool.

6. HIGH, SEAS
Two sailors from the same ship overdose on meth, despite their claims of never having touched the drugs.

My Thoughts:
Enjoyed the episode a lot... but is one of those ones that nothing really sticks out to be extraordinary.

7. SUB ROSA
Gibbs and Todd (Sasha Alexander) investigate the possibility of an impostor on board a nuclear submarine.

My Thoughts:
Another good episode. The body they found in this episode was less then appealing. This series does have a slight bit of a gore factor when it comes to the remains. I really liked how Gibbs took up for Kate when they were not going to let her on the sub... but was sure to do so without doing it in front of her.

8. MINIMUM SECURITY
A mysterious death leads Gibbs and the team into the heart of the terrorist detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

My Thoughts:
This episode is one that never really impressed me much. Nothing really bad about it... and really can't put my finger on what it was that bothered me... but definitely not one I look forward to watching during my marathons.
