Despite negative reviews I picked this up when I saw it really cheap. Mainly because of its cast and that I generally like "Love Actually" kind of movies.
Among the stars are Jennifer Garner, Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts and Jessica Biel.
Though this movie is nothing special, I enjoyed it. Not necessarily a must-see, but if you want to complete your collection of one of your favorite actresses, you could do worse.

Mulberry St, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: Mulberry St
Movie Count: 37
TV Ep Count: 8
Time Started: 4:45am
Plot:
The city that never sleeps may shut its eyes for good when a deadly infection turns its residents to savage creatures. There is only hope for a small few, including six recently evicted tenants who must protect their crumbling apartment complex as the city around them is thrown into chaos... 

My Thoughts:
Another blind buy... The blurb on the front cover calls this a Zombie movie. I think that is a bit misleading. It is definitely similar to a zombie movie... but in my honest opinion it is more of a mutation type movie. I have enjoyed most of the After Dark Horrorfest releases so I wasn't to worried about it... just wanted to complete the collection. These After Dark Horrorfest movies is independent movies... so you go in realizing they don't have the budget that the Hollywood big releases have. This one is a good movie. I definitely enjoyed it... but at the same time it is not the best out there. It is just a strong above average movie.

Ghost Whisperer Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

13. Deja Boo
A young man who has died fears he is going to be reincarnated as the baby of Melinda's girlfriend, so he tries to stop the pregnancy.

My Thoughts:
Good episode. This is the first (and only... so far?) time the series touches on the idea of reincarnation. I liked they way they portrayed all of his past lives to Melinda. Made for an interesting episode.

14. Speed Demon
The ghost of a street racer has it in for his old girlfriend, now a racing champ. He believes she killed him in a race one year ago - and now he wants revenge!

My Thoughts:
Another good episode. Enjoyed the street racing in it. Seeing the young boy (Delia's son... forget name) sneaking out the way he did makes me as a parent worry a little. My daughter is 12yrs old... how long will it be before she starts trying something like this?

15. Mean Ghost
The Vengeful spirit of a cheerleader is attacking her former squad one by one. But Melinda learns that another girl at school may have wanted her dead.

My Thoughts
Another really good episode that I enjoyed a lot. I liked how they took a little look into Melinda's teen years... and what she had to go through in high school with her gift. I found it interesting how they could do up Jennifer Love Hewitt to look like a teen so well... without having to get a younger actress to play the part. I mean she does look young... but I wasn't expecting that to work as well as it did.

16. The Cradle Will Rock
A jewelry store employee who was killed, and is the only one who knows where stolen money is hidden, orders Melinda to get a message to his wife...or else!

My Thoughts:
Yet another good episode. A good episode story... but also... after a several episode break from it.. at the end of the episode it also touches on the season long arc again. Of course that is to be expected as there is only 6 episodes left in the season. I imagine for the most part the rest of the episodes will be used to close out the season long arc.
