St. Francisville Experience, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: St. Francisville Experience
Movie Count: 87
TV Ep Count: 39
Other  Count: 2
Time Started: 7:30am
Plot:
Four people - a psychic, a ghost-hunter, a filmmaker and a historian - all trained in the paranormal and equipped with cameras, agreed to spend the night in a house rumored to be haunted. This is their footage. This is their story.

My Thoughts:
This movie is made in the same way as Blair Witch Project... where they try to make you think you are watching a real documentary.  In my opinion... it was done much better then Blair Witch was though. But that could have something to do with my enjoying haunted house stories so much... and touches on something I used to love to do when I was a teen... explore old abandoned houses. I would say if you enjoyed Blair Witch Project when it came out... you should definitely give this one a chance as well.

The animation/visuals on this film is outstanding... among the very best I have ever seen. The story line is very good. It kept me entertained throughout with ease. The problem I had with this film? I never cared for the characters. Not in the old animated TV series and not in this film. With that said I do consider this film to be above average and well worth checking out at least once.

My PILOT Marathon, a review by Rich

Futurama - Season 1

Space Pilot 3000



This collection presents the entire first season of Matt Groening's Futurama in all of its absurd, sci-fi glory. After accidentally freezing himself in 1999, pizza delivery boy Fry (voiced by Billy West) wakes up in New York City at the beginning of the 31st century. There he meets the fiesty, one-eyed Leela (voiced by Katey Sagal), the beer-swilling robot Bender (voiced by John Di Maggio), and other strange characters. Together they embark on ridiculous journeys as part of a interplanetary delivery service.

Never going to be a favourite show of mine, but my son is a big fan and probably the target audience in terms of age etc.
Personally I am glad to have now seen the original episode which explains the whole concept, how Fry got there, how he met up with the other characters. It helps make sense of the few random episodes I've seen over the years.
There are a few laughs to be had, but to be honest I was glad this finished so quickly.
