Army of Darkness, a review by addicted2dvd

Army of Darkness
The one and only Bruce Campbell stars as Ash, a hapless housewares clerk time-warped back to the Dark Ages by the demonic power of the Necronomicon. Now armed with only a '73 Oldsmobile, his trusty chainsaw and a 12-gauge double-barreled S-Mart shotgun, our knucklehead hero must battle vicious she-bitches, a diabolical Evil Ash and the relentless hordes of the medieval dead in the most outrageously spectacular horror comedy ever made. Get ready for some sugar, baby: this is 'ARMY OF DARKNESS - THE BOOMSTICK EDITION!'

My Thoughts:
All the sudden I was in the mood for something fun.... something silly yet something horror related. So what better to pop in then Army of Darkness? I have watched Army of Darkness many times... but this is only the second time I watched the Director's Cut. I think I enjoy the Director's cut a little better then the theatrical version... I like that final laugh that they give you at the end of the Director's Cut.

The Hangover, a review by DJ Doena

Director: Todd Phillips

Bradley Cooper   ...    Phil Wenneck
Ed Helms   ...    Stu Price
Zach Galifianakis   ...    Alan Garner
Justin Bartha   ...    Doug Billings
Heather Graham   ...    Jade

Synopsis: Doug is about to marry and he, his friends and his wife's brother want to enjoy their bachelor party in Vegas. Only that they can't remember any of it the day after. And even worse: Doug has disappeared. But instead they have a tiger, a baby, a police car and a lot of trouble. What the hell is going on here?

My Opinion: The viewer is as puzzled as these three guys. The movie is a single row of WTF?! moments (especially when you see it for the first time) and the characters are all very "eccentric" on their own, especially Alan (the bride's brother).
I had a lot of fun watching it again.

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

Synopsis:My Opinion: A very good pilot which takes upon the events of the movie and continues to tell the story. It simply ignores the contradictions to the movie instead of giving some cheesy excuses. Only Teal'c's switching of sides was a bit too fast, he doesn't know Jack at all. But I can't come up with a better plot on how to manage this.

Synopsis: Kawalsky has more and longer headaches and phases of black outs after which he can't remember anything. Back on Chulak he was taken over by a Goa'uld larva and now they fight for the mastery of the body. Meanwhile Teal'c is being interrogated by a men from Langley who wants to learn more about the Goa'uld.

My Opinion: I liked the fact that they didn't accept Teal'c blindly in their team, even though Jack thought that he deserved it. It still went fast in the end but at least they mentioned their doubts and pointed out the problems. Now SG-1 is complete: Jack O'Neill, Daniel Jackson, Sam(antha) Carter & Teal'c.

Synopsis: SG-1 arrives on a planet where the population leads a life like in the times of Genghis Khan. It is forbidden for women to appear unconcealed in public, neither is it allowed for them to speak unless spoken to. Carter soon collides with these laws.

My Opinion: "SG-1 arrives on a planet" - I wonder how often I will write this sentence in this marathon. I didn't like this episode much, mainly because they tried to communicate the morale with the grace of a sledgehammer. I nonetheless like the fact that they at least argued about the fact whether it is right to interfere with local customs and affairs.
