My Thoughts:
Going through my unwatched collection I found this war movie in a cheap boxset I got called Combat Pack. It has 20 movies on 4 DVDs. This one caught my eye as it has Boris Karloff in it. As I have enjoyed everything I have seen him in before I though I would give this one a chance. I never really been a huge war fan (my mother was the war fan in our family)... so the fact that this movie is only an hour long helped as well. I must admit... this one surprised me. First with the quality of the release. Both the audio and video was in very good shape... especially considering the cheap Mill Creek set I have. No problems at all with the audio... and only a few spots of dust on the video. At least on my standard 20in TV. Then there was the movie itself. I found myself quickly getting into the storyline. It is a very good story and the cast did well. I especially enjoyed both Boris Karloff and Margaret Lindsay in this movie. It turns out this is the only movie I have with Margaret Lindsay in it. Though I do see she has done a lot according to imdb. I may have to look into checking out more of her movies.  I liked the fact that this movie was more about spies during the war instead of the war itself. So I got myself a nice surprise in this one. It is definitely worth checking out.

This is one of Vincent Price's films I never seen before. I must say I enjoyed it very much. The story line easily kept my attention through out the film... and I found the visuals to be done very well. The vibrant colors they used seem to add to the story. And I found the entire cast to be great. This is one I would really like to add to my own collection.

Last night I finished season 3 (and started Season 4)... I am still enjoying the series quite a bit... though I have found I am not laughing quite as much as I did over the first couple of seasons. There has been a gradual decline in the laugh out loud moments. But find it still well worth watching. There is a lot of good episodes this season... so had a hard time picking out a favorite episode of the season. But when it came down to it I had to pick An Evening wtih Mr. Yang which was the season finale. Not so much for any comedy in the episode... as there was very little. But because he went up against a serial killer. It especially got good once the serial killer got a hold of his mother.
