Wes Craven's New Nightmare, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: Wes Craven's New Nightmare
Movie Count: 21
TV Ep Count: 5
Time Started: 8:30am
Plot:
 Writer-director Wes Craven ('Scream', 'Scream 2') returns to the darkest shadows of Elm Street with "the cleverest, wittiest, most twisted scarefest in ages!" (Peter Travers, 'Rolling Stone').

Winner of a Golden Scroll of Outstanding Achievement from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror, this spinetingling tale reunites original Nightmare stars Robert Englund, Heather Lagenkamp and John Saxon as "reel" Freddy invades the real world with deadly results.

Life imitated art during filming. Soon after shooting an earthquake sequence, the "Northridge Quake" shook Los Angeles. Says Craven, "We were about to have rubble created for the movie, but instead, we were able to just go out and film from the streets." But don't worry, Freddy fans. It's only a movie...or is it?

My Thoughts:
Another really good installment to the "Nightmare" series. This time a very different installment... as it was able to reunite a lot of the original cast.  I thought it was a very interesting idea... and even though I enjoyed them...  I find that this one I really have to be in the mood for to watch. I guess what I mean is it is different in a good way... but I have to be in the mood for said different to watch it. Luckily I was in the mood this morning!

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

The King of Queens



What's the show about?
Doug Heffernan is a delivery man for International Parcel Service (IPS). His wife, Carrie, works as a secretary for a law firm. Both live in a house in Queens, New York and in the basement of that house lives Carrie's father Arthur. That living arrangement leads to all kinds of funny situations.

"Pilot"
Doug has just got his new TV which is placed in Doug's sanctuary - the basement, when Carrie's sister comes to the house to tell them that Arthur's wife (or girlfriend? - she does not seem to be Carrie's or her sister's mother) has just died. When Arthur tries to live alone he accidentally burns down his house and has to move into the basement of the Heffernan's house...

My Opinion
Another really good sitcom and this one I'll finish when I get the remaining seasons on DVD.
