Cartoon-'Donald's Double Trouble'


Original Disney classic which is solid family fare but I found the first 40 minutes or so dreadfully boring.  The primary reason for that I believe was that I didn't care for Hayley Mills, the girl chosen to play the sneaky little conniving twins. The first half of the movie focused on them/her and I found them annoying. Once the parents entered the picture, Maureen O'Hara and Brian Keith, my interest grew tenfold.

Boy, Maureen O'Hara was a gorgeous, fiery redhead in her prime and she never looked more gorgeous! I've always been a fan of Brian Keith... absolutely loved his short but memorable performance as Buckshot Roberts in Young Guns who 'killed more men than smallpox'. Another great performer who took his own life.

Not my favorite of the old time Disney classics but a good watch. I would have rated it higher had they cast the young girls better.

Psycho III, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: Psycho III
Movie Count: 17
TV Ep Count: 3
Other Count: 0
Time Started: 1:45pm
Plot:
After years in prison, Norman Bates returns home to the Bates Motel. When a pretty young woman ('Diana Scarwid') runs to the motel - and Norman's open arms - to escape a scandalous secret, he finally gets a chance at a new life. But he has one murderous skeleton in his closet that will do anything to keep from sharing him. It's a new day at the Bates Motel, but the nightmares are just beginning...

My Thoughts:
Another one I have never seen. I am going into this movie with low expectations as I have heard this is the worse of the sequels. And maybe that helped me... I don't know... but I did enjoy this film. Just not as much as the first 2. It seems this one lost some of the suspense that made the first 2 films so good. This does make me worry about the final movie in the set. Especially considering the next one is a TV Movie that originally aired on Showtime.

Smallville Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

EPISODE 1: BIZARRO
A flood of excitement: Lois, Chloe and Lex are in peril after Reeves Dam breaks. The Phantom Zone escapee who absorbed Clark's DNA must be stopped. But how? MARTINA MANHUNTER has an idea.

My Thoughts:
This was a good episode. I enjoyed it quite a bit. At first I didn't think I would... but I do like how they decided to do Bizzaro.

My Rating:

EPISODE 2: KARA
Blonde. Beautiful. Bad attitude. Kara may have some catching up to do after she stops trying to clobber Clark into the next millennium. After all, they're from the same Kryptonian family.

Also: Lex finds Lana.

My Thoughts:
Another episode I enjoyed a lot. I really liked the way Supergirl (Kara) came out on the series. I also enjoyed the explanation of what happened with Lana.

My Rating:

EPISODE 3: FIERCE


My Thoughts:
Another fun episode. I must say... Kara looked great in that bikini! And I liked the story of the beauty contestant meteor freaks going after the map in the time capsule.

My Rating:

EPISODE 4: CURE
Got a meteor-rock problem? A neurosurgeon claims he can return meteor-infected people to normality. Lana hides a $10-million secret and Chloe and Jimmy face a rift in their togetherness.

My Thoughts:
This is a pretty cool episode. I really enjoyed it. It was cool to see Dean Caine (who played Superman on Lois and Clark) guest star on the show.

My Rating:
