Stars:

Rob Monkiewicz as Terence "Buzz" O'Reilly
Erika Smith as Trix
Michael R. Thomas as Ralph Vivino
Caitlin Ross as Amber

Plot:
A crate of bio-engineered marijuana winds up at a strip-joint after a drug deal gone bad, bringing with it a renegade DEA agent and a swarm of monstrous critters. Just what owner Ralph and dancers Crystal, Trix and Amber need as they struggle to save their club from shutting down. An exterminator is called in to thwart the infestation, but quicker than you can say "roach motel," these oversized insectoids prove they are made of tougher stuff. The club is under attack by a stealthy, skittering invasion of big, bad, bloodthirsty bugs, and there's nowhere to run, no place to hide, and not a lap-dance in sight. And when the DEA heavy falls victim to a hungry horde, you can be sure he'll be back...but he might not be quite human anymore.

This one is nothing more then low-budget cheesy horror fun. This is not a movie to watch if you are looking for scares. That much is for sure. But something to veg out in front of... to waste an hour and a half just to make fun of... then yes there is some of that type of entertainment value here. Anyone that knows me... knows I have a bad case of arachnophobia. But in the case of this movie.... these mutant spiders looks so fake that it is a non-issue. One plus this movie has... it has the always cute Misty Mundae (AKA: Erin Brown) in it. Which I have a lot of her movies given to me lately when I mentioned that same thing in an earlier review. So this is a cheesy... if not fun... addition to the collection. Just like the other Shock-O-Rama Cinema releases I have... this one includes a nice selection of extras. So that is a plus as well.

Stars:
Melissa Joan Hart as Sabrina Sawyer
Sherry Miller as Aunt Hilda
Charlene Fernetz as Aunt Zelda
Michelle Beaudoin as Marnie Littlefield
Ryan Reynolds as Seth

Plot:
It's her 16th birthday, and Sabrina (MELISSA JOAN HART) is feeling a little strange. She just transferred to a new school, moved in with her two otherworldly aunts, and nothing is quite what it seems. Things can only get more complicated when Sabrina learns that she's a real witch. Now, she's got to make friends, memorize spells, and find a way to get a date for the school dance. It'll take a little hocus-pocus and a whole lot of adventure before Sabrina learns to control her powers and find true love.

Extras:

• Closed Captioned
• Scene Access

After watching the first episode of the series for my TV pilot marathon I thought I take the chance and rewatch the TV movie which came before it.
It's a nice movie. Strange to see it with real sets and outdoor location shooting instead of a sitcom set.
The aunts are played by different actors. Only two actors are here the same as in the series. Of course one is Melissa Joan Hart as Sabrina. The other one is the actress playing Sabrina's friend in the first season. She plays the same character here albeit with a different name.
Harvey is two separate characters in this movie. One is a geeky character called Harvey who is in love with Sabrina. The other one is a jock played by a young Ryan Reynolds. In the series they merged these two characters into one.
Another familiar face is Laura Harris (Daisy in Dead Like Me), who plays one of the friends of the Libby-type character. Though her role is really small.

Veronica Mars Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

1. Welcome Wagon
Campus crime stopper: Veronica solves a classroom murder game in record time, then takes on a case for Wallace's roommate Piz, whose move-in stuff was boosted by a nonexistent Welcome Wagon Committee.

My Thoughts:
This is an excellent start of Veronica Mars: The College years (or year as it ended up )I really enjoyed every minute of this. From before the open credits even come on she shows what she is made of by solving the "mystery" in her criminology class... to the episode mystery that she has to solve. Not to mention an interesting multi-episode arc that we actually got a taste of in season 2.

My Rating:


2. My Big Fat Greek Rush Week
Veronica, a sorority girl? She dons a floral frock to rush Zeta Theta Beta, searching for clues to the identity of the campus rapist. Wallace and Logan are guard and inmate in a disturbing prison experiment.

My Thoughts:
Another really good episode. I liked the side storuy will Wallace and Logan as much as I did the main story of finding out what was going on in the sorority house. And Verronica inches further in the rape cases as well.

My Rating:


3. Wichita Linebacker
Out of bounds. The team playbook "borrowed" by a Hearst College football player goes missing...or gets stolen. And Veronica recommends an unlikely candidate to take her place at Mars Investigations: Weevil.

My Thoughts:
A good episode... though not quite as good as the previous two. I did like how they managed to add Weevil to the college campus. The weekly mystery could have been better... but was entertaining enough.

My Rating:


4. Charlie Don't Surf
It's tough to be a trust-fund baby without the trust fund: Logan thinks his business manager is skimming his inheritance. Dick is suddenly Veronica's bestest pal. And Keith meets a very attractive woman.

My Thoughts:
Much like the one before it... not the best of epiosde... but still entertaining. While it did have the episode mystery it took the back seat to the rapist storyline.

My Rating:
