Children of the Night, a review by addicted2dvd![]() Title: Children of the Night Movie Count: 85 TV Ep Count: 38 Other Count: 2 Time Started: 7:15am Plot: Allburg is an idyllic small town, far removed from the crime of the big city. Safe, peaceful ... and in deadly danger. When a vampire is released from his long imprisonment in an underground crypt, the unsuspecting town becomes the target of his unearthly bloodlust. One by one, the entire population becomes either vampire or helpless victim. A teenage girl, a school teacher and a wino become an unlikely trio of vampire hunters as they struggle to destroy a monstrous danger more unspeakable than death in this truly terrifying tale of horror and suspense. My Thoughts: Felt in the mood for a vampire movie... but one I do not watch that often. As there is a small handful I tend to always watch. This one is a fairly low budget movie... that if I am not mistaken was direct to video. At least here in the US. This is not what I would call a great movie.... but I have certainly saw worse. Even though I do see obvious downfalls of this movie... it is definitely on the cheesy side... but for some reason I find myself enjoying this movie. There is a couple familiar names in this movie. First there is Karen Black who has done a lot of horror in her career. Then there is Peter DeLuise... who was on the TV Series 21 Jump Street. My Rating Out of a Possible 5 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (From My Month Long Horror/Halloween Marathon: 2008 on October 26th, 2008) Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous, a review by addicted2dvd![]() Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous Sandra Bullock returns as Special Agent Gracie Hart in a funny, fabulous 'Miss Congeniality' follow up. This time, she's the bureau's new celebrity face, making the rounds of talk shows (her heroics at the Miss United States Beauty Pageant made her too famous for field work). She also has a new partner (Regina King), an agent with anger-management issues and a dim opinion of pampered Gracie. But when Gracie's friends (returning stars Heather Burns and William Shatner) are kidnapped, nothing can keep Special Agent GS13 out of the action. Look out world. The cover girl is going back undercover! My Thoughts: The first movie was just not enough of Sandra Bullock yet... so just had to pop in part 2. This one I don't feel was as good as the first one... but was definitely enjoyable. I liked the addition of Regina King... thought her character was a good addition since they changed Sandra Bullock's character so much. (From Weekend Movie Marathon: 9/28 - 9/30 on September 30th, 2007) My PILOT Marathon, a review by RichCommander In Chief - Series 1 Pilot Mackenzie Allen, who serves as Vice President of the United States, has a tough decision to make, whether or not to go against the wishes of the dying current President. He has asked her to step down and let someone a little more appropriate take his place in the Oval Office. However, it's not only the President that is calling for her resignation, it's her entire party which elected her as the Vice President to start with. ![]() This pilot was a little bit too 'god bless America' for my taste, although it surely will become more interesting as the large array of characters and acting talent available come into their own. The whole first woman as president, but only by default, and how she has to juggle three sickeningly nice kids and appease a husband who was her chief of staff, is so far-fetched and written for the masses that I think they missed a trick. As the first episode it didn't create much impact, but I will come back to at least give the first series a go in due course. ![]() (From My PILOT Marathon on September 7th, 2009) |
