Plot:
Before YouTube...before MySpace...before Facebook there was I-SEE-YOU.com and Colby Allen (Mathew Botuchis), the teen who invented user-generated content by secretly installing nanny-cams in his parents' home and turning his family into the internet's first Live Feed! reality show.

Pocketing a cool $17K a week, Colby convinces his parents (Beau Bridges and Rosanna Arquette) that dysfunction sells. Something else sells, too: the vid stream of Colby's 18-year old stepsister Audrey (Baelyn Neff), whose unwitting on-cam display of assets launches his enterprise in a big way. Nothing good on TV? Log on. The Belingers are just getting started.

Extras:

• Scene Access
• Feature Trailers
• Bonus Trailers
• Deleted Scenes
• Featurettes

This one was in a box of DVDs that was given to me a while back ago. And another one I had mixed feelings about. It definitely had it's moments. But I didn't find it to be as funny as I was expecting it to be. I did enjoy seeing Shiri Appleby in this film, think this may have been the first thing I seen her in since Roswell. Over-all I would say worth checking out once.... not sure I would recommend buying.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, a review by Critter

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World





Plot: Scott Pilgrim's life is so awesome. He's 23 years old, in a rock band, "between jobs," and dating a cute high school girl. Everything's fantastic until a seriously mind-blowing, dangerously fashionable, roller blading delivery girl named Ramona Flowers starts cruising through his dreams and sailing by him at parties. But the path to Ms. Flowers isn't covered in rose petals. Ramona's seven evil exes stand between Scott and true happiness. Can Scott defeat all seven of the bad guys and get the girl without turning his precious little life upside-down, before the game is over?


My Thoughts: This was one of the single funnest cinema experience I have had for the last couple of years. When I keep thinking back to this film 'fun' is the word that keeps coming back to my head. It was fun from start to finish, loads of laughs, great action scenes, great performances.  I saw this in a sold out cinema and the whole audience laughed at all of the jokes, there was great comedy timing throughout the whole film, and this is coming from someone who usually isn't a fan of comedies. I haven't yet read the comics that this film is based off but I didn't feel like I was missing out because of that. As a lover of video games there was a lot for me to appreciate in this film. It pretty much played out like a live-action video game, complete with incredible and outlandish fight scenes, and even giant monsters and dragons created from the energy of music. As well of, of course, a soundtrack that was composed highly of sound effects from old arcade style games that many of us know and love.

When I heard that Michael Cera would be playing the lead in this I was a little worried, as I like many other people are getting sick of Cera playing the same role over and over, as the awkward, somewhat geeky kid. And I won't lie, this role did show many similarities to some of his previous roles but it did seem to work in this film. Cera played Scott quite well in this instance, and the rest of the cast were also fantastic. The plot of this film was strange, that's for sure, but not strange enough to turn people off. As I said before, it's a fun ride and you just learn to expect anything at all as the film progresses as, just like in some video games, you never know what is about to turn up. This is a film that I can see myself enjoying many many times, in fact I am already planning my next cinema visit to see it. I highly recommend this film to anyone who is out to have a fun night at the movies.

Miracles Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

6. The Hand of God
Paul comes under investigation by the police after a woman is found murdered in her home, leaving behind her diary where she had sketched his name and image, along with the words "God is nowhere".

Guest Stars:
Blake Bashoff
John Thaddeus
Pat Skipper
Robert Clotworthy

My Thoughts:
This is the final episode to air on ABC in it's original run. Thankfully they gave us the entire 13 episodes on this DVD collection. This episode is an interesting one as it continues with the series long storyline. But it did seem a little slow to me. This episode completes the second disc in the set.

My Rating:
