This is one I thought I seen years ago... but after watching it through out I am not sure. Maybe I only seen clips of it. But this is one I enjoyed quite a bit. I liked the storyline and the setting. Cast did a great job... all except one. I just did not care for Carol Burnett in this film. Which is weird since I used to enjoy her years ago. But something bugged me about her in this one. Not the character mind you... but Carol Burnett herself. This one definitely worth the time put in to watch it.

Under Siege 2: Dark Territory, a review by DJ Doena

January, 17th


Director: Geoff Murphy

Steven Seagal    ...    Casey Ryback
Eric Bogosian   ...    Travis Dane
Everett McGill   ...    Marcus Penn
Katherine Heigl   ...    Sarah Ryback
Morris Chestnut   ...    Bobby Zachs
Andy Romano   ...    Admiral Bates
Royce D. Applegate   ...    Ryback's Cook
Nick Mancuso   ...    Tom Breaker
Kurtwood Smith   ...    General Stanley Cooper

Synopsis: Casey and his niece Sarah are travelling by train across the United States. But aboard this train are also a crazy lunatic and a group of mercenaries who take over a highly secret and highly dangerous satellite that can destroy the entire west coast by causing earthquakes below the San Andreas Fault. Casey is the only one who can stop them before they kill millions.

My Opinion: Steven Seagal is no Bruce Willis but I still enjoy his action movies a lot. He kills ruthlessly and has cool knife-fighting skills. The general plot is pretty much a slightly adjusted template copy of Under Siege but I don't really care. It's just fun to watch.
This time was also the first time that the name Katherine Heigl rang a bell.

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

The Simpsons



What's the show about?
It'*s about the life of the Simpons - mainly Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie - in Springfield. It's always the same year in Springfield, Lisa is always a second-grader and Bart is always a fourth-grader. But they have the most incredible adventures one can imagine.

"Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire"
Homer does not get a Christmas bonus and Marge has to spend all the money to remove a tattoo of Bart's. But Homer wants to have a nice Christmas for his family and so he helps out as Santa at the mall.

My Opinion
The Simpsons are a cult show. But I think I haven't seen half the episodes, there are simply to much out there. And for my taste "The Simpsons" is not a show where I can watch countless episodes at once (which might be due to the fact that every episode is practically a reset to the beginning). But I really like it and when I find the time I watch a few episodes.
