My Thoughts:
A nice time-travel movie. Nothing really special but it has entertaining scenes with the guys being confronted with the 80s. I am not sure what to think about the ending. One the one hand I liked it. On the other hand I would have liked to have seen the stuff which happened (click to show/hide)

Scream and Scream Again, a review by Danae Cassandra
Scream and Scream Again
Year of Release: 1969
Directed By: Gordon Hessler
Starring: Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Judy Huxtable, Alfred Marks
Genre: Suspense/Thriller, Horror
Overview:
They hunger for power, thirst for blood...and make each helpless, pleading victim Scream and Scream Again! Horror legends Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, and Peter Cushing star in this "masterwork of style and suspense" (Los Angeles Times) about a group of sadistic madmen plotting to take over the world - ONE SEVERED BODY PART AT A TIME!
My Thoughts:
This is a sort of pulp-trash kind of movie, and is really more of a suspense/thriller than a horror film - for all that three of the greats of the horror genre (Price, Lee and Cushing) are all present in the film. For all that star power and name recognition, none of them are the star of the film either - it's really more of an ensemble piece, and Cushing's character is really a long cameo. The story isn't told in a linear fashion, and at first all the disparate pieces seem to have no connection to each other. They tie together in the end, though the film does a good job of keeping you wondering how, and the story does make sense then.
For having such great actors, they are really underutilized and I would have liked to see more of them. The plot has a lot of loose ends that aren't tied up at the end, and even after you understand what's been going on you still have a lot of unanswered questions. I enjoyed the film but I don't know that I'd recommend it for horror fans. If you like Price, Lee or Cushing, and want a complete oeuvre of the work of any of them, by all means watch this. If you like some of the wacky, disjointed cult films that came out in the late 60's/early 70's, then you'd likely enjoy this. But it's not really a horror film, at least in my opinion.
Bechdel Test: Fail
Overall: 3/5

Dead Like Me: The Complete First Season, a review by addicted2dvd
 | Dead Like Me: The Complete First Season You're about to be collected. "Winningly eccentric" (LA Daily News) and "insistently irreverent" (People), this groundbreaking, original series delivers you into a realm of shockingly funny characters and twisted narratives you'll find completely "addictive" (NY Daily News)! When an errant toilet seat from the falling Mir Space Station puts an abrupt end to her life, George (Ellen Muth) discovers that death is nothing like she thought it would be. Recruited to collect the souls of others as they die, she suddenly finds herself an unwilling participant in a line of work she never knew existed: Grim Reaping! Episodes: 01. Pilot 02. Dead Girl Walking 03. Curious George 04. Reapercussions 05. Reaping Havoc 06. My Room 07. Reaper Madness 08. A Cook 09. Sunday Mornings 10. Business Unfinished 11. The Bicycle Thief 12. Nighthawks 13. Vacation 14. Rest In Peace |
Stars:
Ellen Muth as George Lass
Laura Harris as Daisy Adair
Callum Blue as Mason

My Thoughts:
I just finished watching the entire first season of this show with Brittany. I have seen this show a few times before... though not in several years. But it is the first time Britt has seen it. We both enjoyed it quite a bit. It is a lot of fun. A lot of entertaining dark humor. We have fun guessing on how some of the deaths would occur. As I type this we have already started the second season. Brittany really likes the gravelings.... she said they are like cute little puppy-dogs of death. If by chance this is a show you never seen before both Britt and I would recommend this one.
