My Thoughts:
The amityville franchise has always been a favorite of mine. Even I admit that the films has gotten a bit tired here and there. This one while a little slow I did enjoy. I found the storyline interesting and liked the characters. I feel it is worth the time put in to watch it.

My Thoughts:
I was quite bored with this movie. I just couldn't get into it. I was surprised though, that it was in color, as so far all the movies in the set were black and white. Though I have to say, that I am not sure if this movie fits thematically into the classic monsters movie set.Rating:

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena
Battlestar Galactica (1978)
What's the show about?
After the destruction of the twelve colonies of Kobol the last remaining Battlestar, the Galactica, and a fleet of 220 ships are on the search for a refuge to go to, the thirteenth colony of Kobol: Earth.
"Saga of A Star World"
After a thousand years of war against the Cylons a peace treaty is negotiated. But the Cylons and their ally Baltar only want to put the colonials into a fals sense of security. The fleet and the colonies are completely unprepared when the Cylons attack and subsequently lose the battle and the war. The only surviving Battlestar is the Galactica under the command of commander Adama. They have not choice but to leave the colonies and take the survivors with them. Where? To the lost thirteenth colony of Kobol: Earth. But they do not know where exactly Earth is located...
My Opinion
I liked the old show because of their characters and the models. I still think that the old Galactica and the Cylon Raiders look better that the re-imagined ones. They were a good crew but now I like the new one better.
