Now the only way to see if it works on humans is to test it on themselves.

My Thoughts:
After that last movie I felt like watching another Sandra Bullock movie. And this is the only other one I have in my collection I never seen before. I found it to be a decent movie... though there really nothing special about this one. There was something about Tate Donovan I didn't care for... which makes it a little hard to enjoy something like this since you don't care for one of the main 2 of the movie. Other then that... the story even though fun... is a bit out there. I did like Sandra Bullock in it though.

Over Her Dead Body, a review by Rich

Title: Over Her Dead Body

Runtime:95
Certificate:12
Year:2008
Genres:Comedy, Fantasy, Romance

Plot:My Review:
Fun little romcom, some belly laugh moments, and Eva Longoria Parker shining as the bitter ghost.
It is of course nonsense, but entertains just the same, and is an easy ride from start to finish.
Don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed

Twilight Zone, a review by addicted2dvd

61. The Silence (4/28/61)
Archie Taylor (Franchot Tone) offers incessant talker Jamie Tennyson half a million dollars if he can keep quiet for a year. That's a bet that Tennyson can't resist.

My Thoughts:
Another episode I never seen before... and a very good one. I enjoyed every minute of it. Attached to the end of this episode was a TV Spot for The Ed Sullivan Show. Unfortunately there was no extras what so ever for this episode.

62. Shadow Play (5/5/61)
Trapped in a recurring nightmare, a man (Dennis Weaver) tries to persuade those who are sentencing him to death that the whole scenario is not real. Will they ever listen?

My Thoughts:
This is yet another episode I never seen. Was a good episode. Attached to the end of this episode was a TV Spot for Gunsmoke. The extras along with this episode include an Audio Commentary with Dennis Weaver and an Isolated Score.

63. The Mind and the Matter (5/12/61)
A book on the power of thought enables an irritable worker (Shelley Berman) to recreate the world exactly as he wants it. But what he wants and what he gets are two different things!

My Thoughts:
Another episode I never seen. Wasn't much more then an OK episode. I mean there was nothing wrong with it... but was nothing special either. Attached to the end of this episode is a TV Spot for The Ed Sullivan Show. Extras to go with this episode are an Audio Commentary by Shelley Berman and an Isolated Score.

64. Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up (5/26/61)
State troopers follow tracks from an unidentified flying object to a diner where they try to determine which of the seven bus passengers stranded inside is really a Martian.

My Thoughts:
This is yet another one I never seen before.. but this one I enjoyed very much. So far this one would rank as one of my favorites. I not only got a kick out of the crazy old man that kept cracking those stupid jokes... but also really liked the twist ending. Attached tot he end of this episode was a TV Spot for The Ed Sullivan show. And extras included with this episode are  an Isolated Score and The Twilight Zone Radio Drama starring Richard Kind.

65. The Obsolete Man (6/2/61)
In a future state where religion and books have been banned, a librarian (Burgess Meredith) is judged obsolete by the Chancellor (Fritz Weaver) and sentenced to death.

My Thoughts:
This is an episode that I have seen before. Is a really good episode. this is about the 3rd episode I know of with Burgess Meredith in it. I don't know if he is in any other episodes.. but I hope so as I always enjoy him in this show. Attached to the end of this episode is a TV Spot for the series Gunsmoke. Extras included with this episode are an Isolated Score and The Twilight Zone Radio Drama, starring Jason Alexander.
