Cold Creek Manor, a review by Boomstick98

Cold Creek Manor (2003) 

Plot: A family relocates from the city to a dilapidated house in the country that was once a grand estate. As they begin to renovate the place they discover their new home harbors secrets, conceals a horrific past, and may not be free of the former inhabitants completely.

My O: I guess I can include this one in this marathon. From reading the plot I thought it would be more of a horror film, but it turned out to just be a thriller. It wasn't a bad movie, I was just expecting something that it wasn't. I thought it would be sort of a haunted house story, but it really wasn't about the house at all. It was just about the former owner wanting it back. Stephen Dorff did a really great job with the character he had, but I have seen better performances from Dennis Quad.  If your in the mood for a simple thriller you could do a lot worse than this film.

This is a film I haven't seen in many years.. And one I enjoyed immensely. While I remembered enjoying it the last time I seen it. It meant more to me this time now that I have a daughter of my own. I could relate much more to Steve Martian's character and I am not ashamed to say it brought a tear to my eye seeing such love between a father and daughter. Yes, watching this made me think of my own daughter and the love I have for her.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Complete First Season marathon, a review by Achim

The Demon Hand
Another one of those "sorry we need to bore you, but we need to bring acreoos some more exposition" episodes. They aren't bad, it's just not a lot going on, really. I enjoyed them bringing Silverman back.

"No, I'm not police. But I do find them useful."

Vick's Chip
Those scenes with the chip were quite interesting; and creepy at times! It was cool how they tightened the screws a bit on the suspicions against Cameron, but also on Derek; good stuff for season 2.

"The roast should have been removed from the stove 18 minutes and 27 seconds ago."

What He BeheldMy conclusion:
A cool TV series that connect Terminator 2 and 3 brilliantly (so far), with good acting, sufficient amount of action and some humor thrown in for good measure. Looking forward to season 2 (full-length!).
