The Devonsville Terror, a review by addicted2dvd

The Devonsville Terror
In 1683, three witches were burned at the stake and killed in the town of Devonsville. Before dying, one of them placed a curse on the townspeople. Three hundred years later, to the day, three women arrive, including a mysterious school teacher (Suzanna Love), and strange things begin to happen. Could they be reincarnations of the witches murdered so long ago?

My Thoughts:
I know I watched this one once... years ago when I first got the DVD... but for the life of me I couldn't remember it at all. So I thought I would start with this movie for that very reason. After watching it I realized just why I didn't remember it. It wasn't much worth remembering. I felt that it was really a bit on the slow and boring side. It seemed to be a low-budget movie... really very little on effects... other then a couple of ok effects towards the end of the movie. This is not one I could feel good about recommending to anyone.

Well... it wasn't a very good start to my marathon this weekend. But at least it has no where to go but up!

Bridges of Madison COunty, a review by Eric

Bridges of Madison County

I've once heard an actress from Québec (Mahée Paiement) say on TV that this was her favorite movie.  Although she is quite pretty and sexy and I wouldn't describe her as the brightest star in the sky so knowing this his her favorite movie led me to having preconceived ideas about it being real chicky and therefore totally unworthy of my watching time.

Then sometime later while at my sister we were talking about movies and actors with her husband and while somebody mentioned Clint Eastwood and that movie came out again and was said to be very good.  Since Eastwood isn't a bad actor and Meryl Streep is a very good one, I figured maybe it was worth watching even if it's only to enjoy the performance of these two.

It is an interesting movie although not a great one in my opinion.  As I expected it is chicky and it's not something I would rewatch because I'm a real man but I wasn't disapointed by Streep's performance.  If you like romance, Eastwood and/or Streep, it's a good movie to watch, especially for M. Streep performance, she's as good as ever.

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

MacGyver


Pilot
A mysterious explosion demolishes and underground lab. Can MacGyver single-handedly rescue the trapped scientists, and stop a deadly chemical leak?

My Thoughts:
This show is a weird case to me. It is a show I enjoy watching quite a bit really. But for some reason it is a show that is out of site out of mind. For some reason I don't go through the episodes of this show like I do most. More like I will get in the mood to watch some episodes. I will usually watch a handful of episodes and then forget about the series for a year or two. This is probably why I only have the first couple seasons of the series so far... though I would like to have them all. The pilot episode is a good introduction to the character. Of course you feel like... Yeah... right... like that would really work (in this case stopping an acid leak with chocolate bars)... but I think that is part of the fun of the series. Just to see the outrageous things he comes up with.
