The Devonsville Terror, a review by addicted2dvd

The Devonsville Terror
In 1683, three witches were burned at the stake and killed in the town of Devonsville. Before dying, one of them placed a curse on the townspeople. Three hundred years later, to the day, three women arrive, including a mysterious school teacher (Suzanna Love), and strange things begin to happen. Could they be reincarnations of the witches murdered so long ago?

My Thoughts:
I know I watched this one once... years ago when I first got the DVD... but for the life of me I couldn't remember it at all. So I thought I would start with this movie for that very reason. After watching it I realized just why I didn't remember it. It wasn't much worth remembering. I felt that it was really a bit on the slow and boring side. It seemed to be a low-budget movie... really very little on effects... other then a couple of ok effects towards the end of the movie. This is not one I could feel good about recommending to anyone.

Well... it wasn't a very good start to my marathon this weekend. But at least it has no where to go but up!

Rambo, a review by DJ Doena

November, 3rd


Sylvester Stallone    ...    John Rambo
Julie Benz   ...    Sarah
Matthew Marsden   ...    School Boy
Graham McTavish   ...    Lewis
Jake La Botz   ...    Reese
Tim Kang   ...    En-Joo
Paul Schulze   ...    Michael Burnett

Synopsis: In Burma a civil war is causing countless deaths on a daily basis. But John Rambo isn't interested in war anymore. He lives a quiet life in Thailand and doesn't care about the world. But one day christian missionaries want to rent his boat to get into that war zone. And when they don't return he does what he was born to do.

My Opinion: A very bloody movie. Make sure you have a bucket under your TV to catch all the blood that is dripping out of it. But it's also a very honest movie; it does not hide or glorify the truth of battle. After the first, this is the best Rambo movie and it brings the story full circle. I don't think Stallone should make another one. Just like with Rocky he finished the story of the character in a satisfying way and he should leave it at that.

BTW: Check out the body count chart.

This is a good series. But just not something which really clicked for me. I never had the urge to watch the next episode and if I wouldn't have watched it together with my brother, I am not sure if I would have finished watching it. I never bothered to pick up further seasons.
