Warlock: The Armageddon, a review by addicted2dvd

Warlock:The Armageddon
He's back and meaner than ever! Stan's only son the "Warlock" ('Julian Sands'), is plotting even greater mayhem in this spinetingling, pulse pounding shocker! The Warlock's single goal is to free his father from the fiery chains that imprison him and unleash Satan's wrath upon the world. The only ones who can prevent complete world destruction are two warriors ('Chris Young and Paula Marshall') - who alone possess the supernatural powers to challenge the Warlock and stop the inevitable Armageddon. They must outsmart and defeat the Warlock before the prophesied eclipse, sending Satan and his son back to Hell.

My Thoughts:
This was a good sequel... I really enjoyed it... but I do prefer the first one over this one. I liked how they had the teenage couple as Druid Warriors... gave the warlock someone to fight that also had powers. As for the disc itself... quality was good.. but the extras sucked... all you get is the trailer.

Plot:
You know legendary maniacs Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger. Now meet Leslie Vernon, the next great psycho-slasher. Nathan Baesel of INVASION stars as Vernon, a good-natured killing machine who invites a documentary film crew to follow him as he reminisces with his murder mentor (Scott Wilson of IN COLD BLOOD), evades his psychiatrist/nemesis (Robert Englund of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET), deconstructs Freudian symbolism, and meticulously plots his upcoming slaughter spree. But when the actual carnage begins, where do you draw the line between voyeuristic thrills, mythic evil, and good old-fashioned slasher movie mayhem? Angela Goethals (24) and Zelda Rubinstein (POLTERGEIST) co-stars in this ingeniously twisted and award-winning shocker that Film Threat hails as "a masterpiece...".

I just finished watching this film. I am not sure how to explain what kind of movie this is. It is done a bit differently then any of the other horror and comedy mixtures I have seen to date. It was a nice change of pace that I enjoyed quite a bit. I also liked the fact that they got a couple familiar faces from other horror movies with Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street) and Zelda Rubinstein (Poltergeist). I have heard in the past from friends that this is a good movie... but that is about all I knew before going into it this morning. As I said... it is something a bit different so it was able to easily keep my attention. As for the comedy in this one... it is like a fun thing to watch... but not a laugh out loud Ha-Ha type funny. If that makes any sense to you at all. Either way... it is one I would definitely say to give a chance.

"Due South" marathon, a review by RossRoy

Pilot Movie
Great introduction to the series. I found both main actors to hit it off well. Looks to build towards a good series.

Oh and, is Ray's little sister cute or what?
Hope she's back in future episodes!

--------------------

Free Willie
Loved the episode. A bit predictable, but there's a few nice moments. I'm really liking the dynamics between Fraser and Ray.

I liked Willie's reaction when Fraser gives him some money and the boy asks "why is this money pink?" and Fraser just replies "Good night Willie"  

--------------------

Diefenbaker's Day Off
Another episode that builds on the strong start of the series. I like how they use Dief on the series. He's pretty much a third main character. I'm guessing this episode also served to introduce another recurring character: the Reporter. Looks to be an interesting one.

One thing bugged me though, and I hope they don't do it too often, and that's the over-the-top rescue of Lucy at the end. Do you honestly believe anyone is strong enough to throw a girl of her weight high enough to reach the roof of a building? All this while running away from a van towards a brick wall, and still get her precisely where Fraser stands (I'll admit Fraser might've moved, and he did catch her by the arm, so she wasn't thrown all the way to roof level, but still)? Come on! I just hope they keep it a little more real in the future.
