Road to Perdition, a review by addicted2dvd

Road to Perdition


My Thoughts:
What with the sad passing of Paul Newman this weekend I thought I would watch the one movie I have with him that I never seen before. This is another movie I bought super-cheap when our video store went out of business several years ago. This is not the type of movie I normally watch... but I decided to get it anyway since it was so cheap and it has a few big names in it so I just wanted to be able to check it out. This DVD did hit one one of my pet peeves. Before watching a movie I always (when able) watch the trailer first... to kinda get me in the mood for the movie. Especially the first time I watch a movie. But this is one of those movies that does not include the trailer for some reason. I personally would like to see the trailer for the movie on the disc to be on every release. I would think that would be an easy... ready made bonus to add. But nope... it is not on this release.

As for the movie itself... I went into this one with low expectations as I said above... not really my type of movie. But I tell you... I enjoyed this movie. It is still not my normal type of movie... and is not something I would watch often... but I do see myself watching it again. I found the story to be very interesting... but it is a bit on the slow slide for my taste. The movie gets points for style and for talent of the actors involved.

Veronica Mars Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

Episode 13: Lord of the Bling
"Bone" Hamilton is a gangsta-rap impresario whose hits may include more than CDs. But he's also a desperate father eager to find his missing teen daughter. Logan suspects his mother is alive.

My Thoughts:
This was a pretty good episode... but one where not much happens for the season long mystery. But it does start another multi-episode mystery as well.


Episode 14: Mars vs. Mars
Both can't be right. When one of Veronica's favorite teachers is accused of sexual misconduct, she works to exonerate him while Keith finds details that discredit him. News about Lynn is bad... and good.

My Thoughts:
This was a good episode. Being a father of a daughter... a daughter that is just about to go into her teens... this is a subject matter that truly scares me... because the thought of someone like that taking advantage of my daughter in that way infuriates me even now!

Episode 15: Ruskie Business


My Thoughts:
Decent episode here... nothing really too special though.


Episode 16: Betty and Veronica
Bogart had a Maltese falcon. Veronica has a Neptune parrot. The school mascot is birdnapped just before the big game. From silly to serious: Veronica has found her mother... and more pieces to the puzzle of Lilly's murder.

My Thoughts:
This one was kinda fun...  I enjoyed it. This stealing of school mascots... is this real?... it is something I personally only ever seen on TV... to be honest the highschool where I went didn't even have a mascot... well not a real one at least... but being the Jaguars I guess that is a good thing! :-p
