From the master of suspense, John Carpenter, comes a chilling new version of the sci-fi classic. Something is terribly wrong in the tiny village of Midwich. After an unseen force invades a quiet coastal town, ten women mysteriously find themselves pregnant. Local physician Dr. Alan Chaffee and government scientist Dr. Susan Verner join forces when the women simultaneously give birth...and the reign of terror begins. In what the New York Times calls "one scarifying trip," the people of Midwich must try and find a way to stop the children in the "Village of the Damned".

I've never seen the original but I would have to imagine it is better than this. 

Christopher Reeve, in his last role before the accident that paralyzed him, gives a standup performance... (pardon the pun) but his was the only decent effort put into this movie. Mark Hamill overacts so much I was actually embarrassed for him and Kirstie Alley, 15 years younger and half the size, begins her evolution from Bad Actress to Fat Actress.

The premise of the movie was good and the kids were spooky enough but overall it was a bit of a yawner. Looking forward to watching the original.

Three Stooges: Three Little Beers, a review by addicted2dvd

The Three Stooges: Three Little Beers
The stooges are inept deliverymen at a brewery. When they learn about a company golf tournament, they sneak onto a golf course to get some practice.

My Thoughts:
The three stooges playing golf? I got a few good laughs out of this one.

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Stargate Atlantis



What's the show about?
As its predecessor it's about exploring a galaxy with the help of the stargates and fighting an evil and supposedly superior enemy. I've only watched the first season until now.

What happened before?
"Stargate Atlantis" is a spin-off of "Stargate SG-1" and started simultaneously with the 8th season of SG-1. It begins after the great battle against Anubis' forces over the Antarctica.

"Rising"
With the help of the Antarctica ZPM (zero point module) Stargate Command is able to open a Stargate to the Pegasus galaxy, to Atlantis. An international team consisting of military and scientists goes there in the knowledge that it might be a one-way trip. But soon after their arrival they get into trouble of all sorts. The Atlantis ZPMs are depleted and the shields cannot hold back the water much longer and the scouting party is attacked by a race called "Wraith", a race that seems to have wiped out the Ancients who built the stargate system and Atlantis...
