This movie was a lot of fun. It was fun watching the main character being confronted by the Indian culture. I haven't been to India but as far as I can tell it looks being as faithful to the actual India as possible.

Illusion-O glasses

My Thoughts:
Yes, I swiped dad's formatting from the profiler, but his is better!!!

Speaking of swiping, watching this whole movie again, which I have seen numerous times since I was a little kid, reminded me that there were a pair of Illusion-O glasses that would help you see the ghosts, but as little kids often do---I wrecked them.  I am so regreting it now. I was struggling to much to see the details, I caught myself saying, "Where are the glasses???"

I haven't seen this in a long time, like, I remembered the ghosts. But I also remembered Ben as such a swell guy. A real sweetie. Now that I'm older, I can understand more, and I saw how he was really portrayed.


I gotta admit, even with this being in black and white, which to me always takes away from how real it feels, all the ghosts and moans I admit gives me the creeps. (Just a LITTLE but it does.) Very nice work! Especially for the time! 1960? Not bad!

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Complete First Season marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

1. Pilot
No one is ever safe, least of all Sarah Connor and her son, John. Tired of running from the machines, Sarah decides to stand and fight.

My Thoughts:
This is a great start to the series. Yes, it is a lot like the first 2 movies. But I think this is a good thing... for anyone that might have never seen the movies (if that is possible). They really went all out for the pilot episode. Lots of great effects and a really enjoyable storyline.


2. Gnothi Seauton
New future, new identity. Cromartie, the battered but relentless Terminator programmed to kill John Connor, resurfaces.

My Thoughts:
Another good episode... though it is not as good as the pilot episode. There was no real surprises in this episode... it pretty much went in the direction I was expecting throughout the episode. But definitely a good continuation from the pilot episode.


3. The Turk
He's just a geek with a hobby. But is the computer chess program Andy Goode developed the beginning of the end?

My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed this episode as well. I got a kick out of John and Cameron going to school... only to find that at the entrance there is a metal detector and they have to explain how Cameron keeps setting off the metal detector. This one has another really interesting storyline that was well done.
