Scooby-Doo: The Movie, a review by Rich

Title: Scooby-Doo: The Movie

Runtime:83
Certificate:PG
Year:2002
Genres:Comedy, Adventure

Plot:Zoinks!  Two years after a clash of egos forced Mystery Inc. to close its doors, Scooby-Doo and his clever crime-solving cohorts Fred (FREDDIE PRINZE JR.), Daphne (SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR), Shaggy (MATTHEW LILLARD) and Velma (LINDA CARDELLINI) are individually summoned to Spooky Island to investigate a series of paranormal incidents at the ultra-hip Spring Break hot spot.
Concerned that his way cool theme park might truly be haunted, Spooky Island owner Emile Mondavarious (ROWAN ATKINSON) tries to reunite these notoriously meddling detectives to solve the mystery before his supernatural secret scares away the college crowds.
Scooby and the gang will have to overcome their personal differences and forget everything they think they know about fake ghouls and phony creatures to crack the case, save themselves and possibly... the world.  RUH-ROH!
My Review:
Cute little family film, utilising clever CGI to make scooby the real star of the film.
The casting was pretty good, although I was disturbed to find Velma (Linda Cardellini) sexy at times! Matthew Lillard did well acting with thin air to create a good false chemistry with the dog. The humour is intentionally aimed to the junior viewer, plenty of slapstick and fart jokes. Needless to say i found it quite funny.
Pleasant afternoon viewing

Independence Day, a review by addicted2dvd

Independence Day
One of the biggest box office hits of all time delivers the ultimate encounter when mysterious and powerful aliens launch an all-out invasion against the human race.

The spectacle begins when massive spaceships appear in Earth's skies. But wonder turns to terror as the ships blast destructive beams of fire down on cities all over the planet.

Now the world's only hope lies with a determined band of survivors, uniting for one last strike against the invaders - before it's the end of mankind.

My Thoughts:
Being the 4th of July, I had to watch this movie. I have watched this movie every year on July 4th since the DVDs was released. I know of a lot of people that didn't care for this movie... but I on the other hand has always enjoyed it. I enjoyed the story.... and loved the effects. The only thing I didn't care for however, is the length of this movie. This is one long movie!  It clocks in just barely over 2 and a half hours. Being a 2-Disc edition... this one has a decent amount of extras.

Yesterday evening I completed the fourth season (and started season 5). This season is shorter by several episode. This is do to the writers strike in 2007.  Nothing to do with the quality of the show. It is still one of my favorite medical dramas. Four seasons in... and I am still just as hooked on re-watching the series as I was on Thanksgiving Day when I started season one. I am just sad I only have up to season 6 to re-watch.
