Alan Cumming as Lecturer/Goat-Man/FDR
Ana Gasteyer as Mae Coleman
Plot:
Inspired by the legendary 1936 film of the same name, Reefer Madness is a tongue-in-cheek raucous musical comedy about clean-cut kids who fall into a twisted, hilarious downward spiral of reefer, sex and mayhem! A straight-laced high school lecturer (Alan Cumming) seeks to impart his wisdom to frightened parents about the "demon weed" by telling the frightful tale of two innocent teens. Mary Lane (Kristen Bell) and Jimmy Harper (Christian Campbell), who fall under the spell of the public's enemy #1 and quickly find themselves in a world of evil jazz music, dance and madness. Filled with outrageously funny and musical performances by Neve Campbell, Christian Campbell, Kristen Bell and Steven Weber, Reefer Madness is the feel good event of the year that should not be missed!

My Thoughts:
I found this one on Amazon Prime and decided to give it a chance since it stars Kristen Bell. And while I know what the movie was attempting to do...I personally just couldn't get into it much. I mean it does have it's moments here and there... but for the most part I struggled to finish it. I was actually surprised this one had such a high rating on IMDB (7.1). While I like to collect the works of Kristen Bell... not sure I can add this one to my collection.

My original review of the R2 DVD is here
Another worthy transfer but a little less of a pop with this but the upgrade to Blu-ray doesn't warrent a change to my rating.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Complete First Season marathon, a review by Achim
Dungeons and Dragons
Yeah, another good episode. Some mysteries were being set up so that there is some suspense to find out what will develop from that. Seeing a T-800 during those flashbacky-forwardsy thingys (just a look-a-like though...) was nice. I thought the future scenes was quite well done and help to develop the "back"story for Derek. ("Dereks don't run."
)I too can hardly wait for Monday so that I can continue (I have a day off Monday, in fact the whole next week, so I just might finish the last disc in one day
No one ;liner stuck in my mind this time
I just checked and found that Season 2 is apparently a full-blown one, according to IMDb there's be 22 episodes.

...for higher price when purchasing the Blu-ray set later this year(From Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Complete First Season marathon on January 21st, 2009)
