Shadow Zone: The Undead Express, a review by addicted2dvd

Shadow Zone: The Undead Express
Out of the darkness, the grim reaper appears in a graveyard among headstones and gargoyles. Elegantly cloaked, but masked by shadows, his eyes burn yellow as he tells us we all have a little evil inside us. Take Zach Kincaid...

A lonely and intense 14-year-old horror movie junkie, Zach ('Chauncey Leopardi') is a good kid but a little confused as a result of his parents' recent break-up. Perhaps for this reason, he often tends to stretch the truth. His friends, J.T. Heffernan, a computer geek, and Gabrielle "Gabe" Lattanzi, a lovely, intellegent athlete, humor Zach, but knoe just how much to believe.

On the way home one weekend, Zach becomes lost on a deserted subway platform. When he stops for directions he is attacked, but recued in the nick of time by Valentine ('Ron Silver'), a self-styled vegetarian vampire from the turn of the century. Finding cold comfort in Valentine's assurance of protection, Zach runs for the first available train. Unfortunately he steps onto the Undead Express, which is full of vampires who are not, appartently, vegetarian...

My Thoughts:
This is the second time I watched this since I bought it. The first time during my month long horror marathon last month. This morning I decided to watch it with Brittany to see what she thought of it. I enjoyed this movie just as much this time as I did the last time I watched it. Sure it is not big on scares or Gore... but it is a fun movie that is good for the whole family. This movie would make a great addition to your Halloween tradition for your family. Brittany really enjoyed this one as well. She is glad I wanted to show it to her.

Dark Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

4. C.R.E.A.M.
Logan is approached by a woman asking to find her missing father. The father happens to be Logan's mentor/hero of his youth. Logan thought the man was dead, but learns that he is alive and not at all the noble person Logan thought him to be.

My Thoughts:
This is a good episode... though nothing really special about it. Nothing really sticks out and makes me want to talk about it.

5. 411 on the DL
Max gets called to a secret meeting after seeing a personal ad containing her bar code tattoo number. She leans that Vogelsang claims to know about the remaining children from Manticore. He insists on a large sum of money for the information.

My Thoughts:
Like the one before it... good episode... but nothing special here in my opinion.

6. Prodigy
Max attends conference about genetic engineering. She sees Lydecker at the conference, but he doesn't recognize her. Before she can slip away unseen, the conference attendees are taken hostage by a group of anti-genetic engineering terrorists.

My Thoughts:
This one I enjoyed quite a bit... had a touch of a Die Hard feel to it. This episode once again shows just how much Max cares about people... even though she tries not to show it.

7. Cold Comfort
Zack reappears and tells Max Lydecker has captured Brin, one of their Manticore sisters, and plans to do her harm. Max decides they must kidnap Lydecker and force him to reveal Brin's whereabouts. When Max and Zack discover that Lydecker was not behind Brin's disappearance, they have no choice but to team up with Lydecker to find their lost sister.

My Thoughts
This one was another really good episode.Max and Zack actually try to trust and work with Lydecker... to help save their sister. Things get difficult... to say the least... And now Lydecker knows what both Max and Zack look like. Whioch of course will make things much harder on them.
