The Alamo, a review by addicted2dvd

The Alamo


My Thoughts:
This is the first time I ever seen this movie. Another one that takes a while to watch. It clocks in at 2hrs and 42min. Unfortunately this one didn't go by as smoothly for me. Over half of this movie felt extremely slow. I was starting to think I would never get through it. Finally the battle came. This definitely helped the movie for me. I don't want to make this sound like I completely disliked the movie. Because I didn't. I enjoyed some of the storyline. It was just hard for me to get through such a long slow movie.

Finally got around to watching the 3rd installment and while I didn't dislike the movie it was a bit of a disappointment and by far my least favorite of the trilogy.

The action was great and I was stoked to see Venom introduced into the series but I didn't like the way they handled it. For starters, the meteorite that hits Earth that just happened to be carrying the essence (goo) of Venom was retarded and way too convenient. Then, when Parker is infused with it I liked how it brought out his dark side but they could have done without the macho, Saturday Night Fever persona that it spawned in Parker. Extremely stupid effort to add some comedy in a movie that required none.

Thomas Haden Church was the standout for me in this as Sandman. Was great to see him in a role other than the screwball flakes he usually plays and I thought he handled himself well. Kirsten Dunst was the same in this like in all her other movies.... adequate but always with an air of haughtiness. I've yet to see her in a role where she could convince me of being humble. Her characters always act like they are all that and a bag of chips which I think comes natural to Dunst... just part of who she is off camera. 

After seeing this I'm glad they are ending this rendition of Spider-Man and makes me look forward to the announced reboot of the series with all new personnel. Jeebers... how do you reboot/remake something that is only 8 years old?!?! In a lot of ways Hollywood is getting to be very pathetic...

Tom's TV Pilots marathon, a review by Tom

Ah! My Goddess: Flights of Fancy (2006/Japan) IMDb | Wikipedia FUNimation Productions (United States) Length: 600 min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.78 Audio: English: Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo, Japanese: Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo Subtitles: English

---

Plot:
The song may say "Thank heaven for little girls" - but who is college student Keiichi Morisato supposed to thank when three honest to goodness living Goddesses move in and take over his life? And should he really be all that grateful?

After all, in most mythologies, close relationships between mortals and immortals usually lead to mortifying complications, so we're already talking about an extremely mixed blessing! And when a FOURTH Goddess suddenly appears, that blessing becomes more like a curse! They may just be trying to help, but sometimes it seems that Belldandy, Skuld, Urd and Peorth might be less concerned with Keiichi's safety than they are with establishing a pecking order and ownership rights!

The delicate celestial balance that exists between human and goddess is thrown into complete and utter chaos in Ah! My Goddess 2 - The Complete Collection!

A little slow start into the otherwise great sequel series to Ah! My Goddess. As the characters are already established, this season has more fun with them. I especially love the sibling rivalry between Urd and Skuld.
