Blood Angels, a review by addicted2dvd

Blood Angels (aka Thralls)
These young, sexy half-vampire women can't fly or change humans into vampires, but they can still suck blood, move super fast and kick some butt. If they can summon the spirit of Belial they can redeem their full vampire powers and finally kill their seductive master (Lorenzo Lamas). On one horrific night, these angels will battle the forces of Evil to be free at last. The suspense, hilarity and seduction will suck you in 'till the bittersweet, enthralling end!

My Thoughts:
This movie was a complete blind buy for me. Never even heard of it till I found it on sale cheap. Naturally going into this one I expected much of nothing. And even with the very low expectations I still wasn't able to get into this movie much. I mean it had a couple moments when it was decent... but for the most part... it just sucked. The acting definitely left some to be desired. The CGI effects were for the most part just laughable. At one point I even dosed off during the movie as it failed to keep my interest. The only thing this movie really has going for it is pretty women. But to be fair... I have seen worse.

Meteor Man, a review by addicted2dvd

Meteor Man
Robert Townsend ('Hollywood Shuffle')leads an all-star cast including Marla Gibbs, Eddie Griffen. Robert Guillaume, James Earl Jones and Bill Cosby in this laugh-out-loud, feel-goodcomic fantasy about a reluctant superhero in a crusade to save his neighborhood.

Move over, Superman! spineless Jefferson Reed (Robert Townsend) has just discovered his backbone... and it's stronger then steel! a mild-mannered subsitute teacher, Jefferson would rather run then fight... until he's hit by a strange green meteor that gives himn superhuman abilities. And when a gang led by a powerful drug lord begins terrorizing his family and neighbors, Jefferson has no choice but to don his homemade spandex suit and take them in a war of cunning, wit... and super-powered super-modeling prowess... to save his 'hood!

My Thoughts:
My daughter, Brittany wanted to watch a comedy with me... so I let her choose one of the comedies in my collection... and this is what she decided on. Another Superhero spoof. It is pretty fun though... nothing extraordinary... but has some fun moments and a lot of familiar faces. Worth checking out... but not something I would put too much money into. I got my copy on sale for $4.95... not sure I would have paid much more then that though.

"Stargate SG-1" Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Synopsis: Caused by Nirrti's experiments a tumor is growing in Jonas's brain and it's growing fast. But this tumor has a side effect: Jonas has flashes of future events that come true. But the tumor also endangers his life.

My Opinion: I stand corrected, they pick up the story of Jonas's DNA again. But the episode was average. Went to a planet, helped a people, killed a Goa'uld, departured.

Synopsis: Daniel appears to both Skaara and Jack to warn them that Anubis will come to Abydos to find the "Eye of Ra". This would allow him to build a powerful weapon. SG-1 wants to forstall him.

My Opinion: A good conclusion to the Abydos storyline, I especially liked the reunion of Jack and Daniel. What amazes me with these stories is where these super-weapons always come from. It's highly unlikely that none of the other System Lords tried to find it, especially when two of the "Eyes" belonged to Ra and Osiris. Ra has been dead for a while and Osiris was out of the game for more than a millennia. Apophis who also possessed one should have been more than interested to get these, yet his former First Prime Teal'c didn't even know they existed.
Anyway, the episode was good, particularly because they didn't defeat Anubis in some surprising way.

The Season - My Opinion: The season was mixed. Jonas brought new life into the team and I liked him end-to-end. But there were a number of episodes I didn't like that much and I even liked the clip show Disclosure more than (for example) Shadow Play. But they still managed to create a good enemy, after the "abdication" of Apophis.
