My Opinion: Oh, I love the original ending, this private celebration on Endor, the right music and the right Anakin Skywalker ghost - not this totally over-the-top "the entire galaxy celebrates" ending of the Special Edition.
It's funny how it's always the little folk that brings the plans of the Big Bad crushing down, whether they are called the Ewoks or the Hobbits. And I really liked it when Luke gave his father a fire burial and when he saw the three Jedi ghosts, it was the perfect ending.

Plot:
Blumhouse (Split, Get Out, Whiplash) produces this original and inventive rewinding thriller in which a blissfully self-centered co-ed (Jessica Rothe, La La Land) is doomed to relive the day of her murder unless she can identify her masked assailant and hopefully stop the madness. If she can't, she will be stuck in an insane loop, reliving a ghoulish nightmare that has become her death day.

Extras:

• Scene Access
• Bonus Trailers
• Deleted Scenes
• Featurettes
• Digital Copy

This film was a pleasant surprise for me. While I have always liked time loop movies (Groundhog Day, etc.) I was a little nervous about this one going just by the trailer. After watching it I found that I liked the characters, the storyline kept my interest and last but not least they killed her off in some creative ways. I can easily see myself watching this one again. Definitely feel coffinite recommending this one.

"Due South" marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

A Cop, A Mountie And A Baby

This is a great episode... I enjoyed every second of it. Matter of fact this is (IMO) the best episode since the pilot movie.  It is a great storyline. I also liked that Diefenbaker was a big part of this episode. I missed him in the last couple episodes where he was barely there. They really fell into something great when they decided on having the wolf in this series.

But one thing I notice is they seemed to forget all about the wolf being deaf thing. There has been a few times now that they showed Fraser give Diefenbaker commands without looking him in the face to do so. Or am I just imagining things?  

My Rating:
