Plot:
Eight years ago she was a total geek; now she's back to get it right! "Drew Barrymore is brilliant!" (Jonathan Foreman, New York Post) in this hilarious, heartwarming comedy about that wacky "wonderland" of homework, hot lunches and raging hormones known as high school.

Newspaper reporter Josie Geller (Barrymore) is going undercover as a student to learn about today's teens. At first she's thrilled...until she remembers her nickname: "Josie Grossie." Can a former clueless nerd navigate the hallways of high school without tripping over her own feet?

Extras:

• Scene Access
• Feature Trailers

This is a pretty good one. Though I will admit you need to stick with it a little before getting into it. It is a bit of a slow starter. It is a decent story with a few laughs. I would have liked to seen a little more comedy in it though. I liked both Drew Barrymore and David Arquette in it. And I was a little surprised to see Jessica Alba in a somewhat smaller roll as one of the "popular kids." Anyway... this one is definitely worth the time put in to watch it.

Black X-Mas, a review by addicted2dvd

Black X-Mas (2006)
THE HORROR CLASSIC 'BLACK CHRISTMAS', which spawned a wave of hit slasher films, is re-imagined for a new generation of fans in this terrifying remake. A group of sorority sisters, snowed in over the holiday break, tried desperately to survive the night as a relentless killer terrorizes and murders them, one by one. Featuring an old-school slasher story, the modern horror touch of director Glen Morgan (writer/producer, 'Final Destination') and a cast of today's hottest stars, including Michelle Trachtenberg ('Eurotrip'), Lacey Chabert ('Mean Girls'), Katie Cassidy ('When a Stranger Calls'), and Mary Elizabeth Winstead ('Grindhouse'), 'Black Christmas' is a thrilling, blood-soaked screamfest.

My Thoughts:
I never had the opportunity to see the original Black Christmas... but I definitely want to. As for this movie... It is pretty good... I did enjoy it... but it isn't the best I ever seen. I would even say it goes too far in some instances. I don't particularly care for incest storylines... but that is just me... not my type of entertainment. It also has a pretty good amount of gore. I don't mind the gore... but is not something I go looking for in movies. This movie does seem to lag for me towards the end... goes on a little longer then I think it needed to.

Ghost Whisperer Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

1. LOVE NEVER DIES
NOTE: The plot for this one gives a huge season 1 spoiler... if you have not seen all of season 1 yet... do not look!

My Thoughts:
This is a really good episode. I love the fact that it continues right where season 1 left off. Melinda works extra hard on helping this week's ghost cross over.

2. LOVE STILL WON'T DIE
The guy that broke up with Melinda years ago when she revealed her gift to him is now haunting her. And Melinda meets a new friend, realitor Delia Banks.

My Thoughts:
Not a great episode... but definitely good. We see in this episode another reason why Melinda is very careful about who she tells her secret to.

3. DROWNED LIVES
Melinda and Jim befriend a couple whose house is haunted by the ghost of a little girl who drowned, and who's waiting for the return of the father who left her.

My Thoughts:
Great Episode! I don't know why... but for some reason I really enjoy the episodes where the ghost is a young kid. I guess there is something more eerie about kid ghosts.

4. THE GHOST WITHIN
New store employee Delia buys some ornaments that a quiet ghostwants Melinda to examine. It's only later that Melinda realizes he's autistic.

My Thoughts:
This one is just ok in my opinion... I found it to be a little on the slow side. I actually caught myself starting to dose off on this one.
