Overview
My thoughts	After all the bad reviews I read, I wasn't sure I wanted to see Taken 2 at all. But since I really like Liam Neeson, and I found the BD cheap, I thought I'd give it a go anyway. And I guess it was a good thing that I came at it with such low expectations. I actually had a fun time watching it. Yes, it's illogical and far-fetched as hell, and the fast editing in the fight scenes is irritating. Almost as bad as Quantum of Solace, but not quite. I saw the unrated cut. I don't know if that was significantly better than the theatrical cut. Probably not. Will I watch Taken 3

My thoughts about Interstellar:

There is something to be said for reading up on movies before you watch them. Usually I don't. I don't want to go into a movie with my expectations too high. But then again, not knowing anything may still set your expectations too high. In the case of Interstellar, I wish I had read more about it. If I had, then I wouldn't have bothered to watch it at all. I would have realized that it was not my cup of tea. That's not to say that it's a bad movie. I have no respect for people who dismiss a movie that millions of people love as crap. You should acknowledge that people have different tastes. I belong to the small minority that didn't like 2001 at all. So I should have realized that I wouldn't like Interstellar either. It looked darn impressive, and I liked some of the performances. Surprisingly, I didn't much care for Anne Hathaway. I've liked her before, but not here. Don't quite know why. So if by chance you haven't seen it yet, and you wonder what to trust, my two stars or IMDb's 8.7 score, I say ... Trust no one!

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

Challenge of the Super Friends
Ep: Wanted: The Super Friends
Back at the HALL OF JUSTICE, legendary super heroes SUPERMAN, WONDER WOMAN, AQUAMAN, BATMAN and ROBIN unite to protect the world from evil - and this 2-disc set of 16 Season One cartoons starts the action from their very first showdown! With their superpowers combined, these guardians of humanity match wits and might against the criminal LEGION OF DOOM until justice is served...with a one-liner to go! This supreme set also includes exclusive commentaries and top-secret bonus content! Be a hero: join the SUPER FRIENDS from the first hit to the final blow in this retro favorite!

My Thoughts:
Now... this brings back some memories for me. I used to love anything and everything Super Friends when I was a kid. And I really enjoyed watching it today... for pure nostalgic reasons and the fact that I still do enjoy most everything Superhero related. In the pilot episode The Legion of Doom created a device to make The Super Friends commit crimes in their sleep.

My Rating:
