The Deer Hunter, a review by Jon

1978
The Deer Hunter
5 out of 5



Three men from Pennsylvania go to Vietnam. Captured by Vietcong, they are forced to play Russian Roulette and the experience changes them forever. Returning to their old lives is impossible in many ways.

The Hamiltons, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: The Hamiltons
Movie Count: 64
TV Ep Count: 17
Time Started: 5pm
Plot:
 The Hamiltons seem to be the picture-perfect American family. They are hardworking community members; giving to their local charities, attending town hall meetings and always respectful of their neighbors...except for the fact that they usually end up killing them.

My Thoughts:
This movie I am less then pleased with... it was a below average movie in my opinion... not so bad that I will never watch it again... but bad enough that it won't be watched very often. The thing about this one is it is not only very slow... but if it wasn't for a brief nude scene and a couple quick gore scenes I would have sworn I was watching an edited for TV version of the m654ovie. Seemed like for most the movie as soon as it was going to get good it cut away from the action to a new scene. I won't say here what the final twist was... but I will say it didn't feel right... that I didn't feel like it fit with the rest of the movie... so that didn't help either.

HawthoRNe: Season 1 Ep. 2: Healing Time, a review by addicted2dvd

HEALING TIME
A patient with a potentially fatal aneurysm believes Christina is his wife and confesses to having an affair.

Notable Guest Stars:
Malcolm-Jamal Warner (The Cosby Show) as Fred
Cloris Leachman (The Mary Tyler Moore Show) as Mrs. Lachman

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed this one quite a bit as well. Good medical cases... good side storylines. I liked the character Cloris Leachman played. It is a shame they weren't able to get her for more then one episode.

My Rating:
