My Thoughts:
This is another movie I haven't seen in several years. It is one I did enjoy though. I remembered liking it... but what I didn't remember is this one has it's share of gore in it. It also has cameos of not 1... not 2... but three genre actors well known to horror fans. There is... Robert Englund who of course played Freddy Krueger.  Then there is Kane Hodder who Played Jason in several of the Friday the 13th movies. And then there is Tony Todd who is well known as the Candyman. If by chance you never seen this movie... it is one I feel comfortable recommending.

Teen Wolf, a review by addicted2dvd

Teen Wolf
What's a high school kid got to do to be popular? Just let down his hair and howl! Starring Michael J. Fox ('Back to the Future') 'Teen Wolf' is an outrageous comedy about a shy teenager with more than a changing voice to contend with... he's a budding young werewolf! And when his new-found powers help him score at basketball - and with the popular girls - he has some pretty hairy decisions to make.

My Thoughts:
OK... lets face it... Teen Wolf is far from award winning entertainment. But what it is... is good cheesy fun. Something to watch when you just want to sit back and enjoy. It is a real twist on the coming of age story. I think the whole werewolf idea is why I enjoy it so much... I definitely enjoy the monster movies... whether you can classify them as horror or not.

"Due South" marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

Heaven and Earth

Another good episode. I personally have mixed feelings about the "Johnny Smith" route they took in this episode. It really didn't bother me much... but much like the father/ghost(?) thing (at least so far)... it just didn't seem to fit in the kind of show I saw this as so far. But then again between those 2 things this shows that they will go the supernatural route. Which my just help me enjoy the whole father storyline more.

My Rating:
