I expected a silly little movie in the style of Charlie's Angels. And essentially it is what I got. But still I couldn't get into it. I didn't connect with any of the characters. And even though there are a lot of fights, they didn't keep me interested.

The Grudge 2, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: The Grudge 2
Movie Count: 52
TV Ep Count: 17
Time Started: 11:30am
Plot:
When Aubrey Davis (Amber Tamblyn, TV's "Joan of Arcadia") learns her sister Karen (Sarah Michelle Gellar) has been hospitalized, she immediately flies to Tokyo. Once there, she learns her sister's horrifying story and discovers that the fatal supernatural curse has been unleashed. Now, as the grudge spreads across the world, a new host of unsuspecting victims are about to become infected by the force that can't be stopped - and won't be killed.

My Thoughts:
This one was a blind buy... but as I said... I did enjoy the first one so I felt safe picking up part 2... especially since I found it on sale for about $10.  Going into this one I was expecting something maybe almost as good as the first one. What I actually found was one that was better then the first one! Which is something you seldomly ever see.  I would recommend this one even if you were just slightly entertained by the first one... but I would not recommend skipping the first one and going straight to part 2... as it takes over right where the first one leaves off.

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

A Haunting
In sixteen chilling tales of the supernatural, on 3 DVDs, New Dominion Picture's A Haunting, takes you inside real-life horror stories. The series originally aired on the Discovery Channel, and each eerie one-hour episode features eyewitness accounts and cinematic re-enactments of some of most spine-tingling, ghostly hauntings ever recorded, filmed in actual locations where these apparitions took place. They are all but guaranteed to spook even the most skeptical observer, but you can judge for yourself: are they imagined, or are they real?

Episode by episode, you'll be shocked and surprised by the spell-binding tales. Take the case of the dance club haunted by ghosts from a by-gone era, the child inhabited by evil that only an exorcism will cure, or house-haunting specters, scaring the wits out of their unsuspecting victims. A Haunting explores these and many other unexplainable, eerie, and macabre tales of the paranormal.

By the end of each amazing story, you will experience a lingering sense that life and death are much stranger than you could have possibly imagined!

Hell House
A family buys a 19th-century farmhouse in Connecticut, but become targeted by strange occurrences. The family consults world-renowned paranormal investigators, including Ed and Lorraine Warren to find out what is truly in their house.

My Thoughts:
Another show I enjoy. I own the entire series (4 seasons). It is a documentary series of supposedly "true" hauntings. I like they way they do this show. Not only is the documentaries interesting (and a little eerie) the reenactments are also done well.

My Rating:
