Deer Woman, a review by addicted2dvd

Deer Woman
Detective Dwight Faraday ('Brian Benben') is a burnt-out cop demoted to the 'weird calls' desk until a series of bizarre murders suddenly grabs his attention: Several men killed by massive blunt force trauma while in a state of sexual arousal, all last seen in the company of a sexy Native American woman ('Cinthia Moura'). But when it's discovered that these corpses were trampled into hamburger by what appear to be hooves, Faraday must hunt a killer who may not be totally human. Will one cynical cop be caught like a deer in the headlights or has a terrifying seductress risen from legend to slaughter the horny?

'Anthony Griffith' co-stars in this erotic horror comedy co-written and directed by 'John Landis' (ANIMAL HOUSE,THE BLUES BROTHERS) and featuring grisly gore effects by 'Gregory Nicotero' & 'Howard Berger' (KILL BILL, CHRONICLES OF NARNIA, LAND OF THE DEAD).

My Thoughts:
Another episode that I consider just average. Nothing really bad about it... but nothing really special either. To be honest... on this second viewing I felt my attention drifting from the show while watching. Just didn't seem to keep my attention as much as the first time I watched it. Other then that... the dvd release is about par with the episodes before it.

for those interested... here is the trailer

Crank 2, a review by Rich

Crank 2





Ridiculous storyline, pointlessly over-violent, brutal, blood-thirsty, vulgar and hardcore. Statham slumps to a new low, it is a shame as he used to be in much better roles. Staggering amount of flesh on display, the language will turn your ears blue, and there is an uncomfortable sleaziness that prevails over the whole film.
This may be destined to cult status with it's 'I don't give a f^%$' attitude, but for me it was just too over the top and swamped with such unnecessary gore and violence that it was a turn-off for the movie.

Doctor Who Marathon, a review by Tom

Doctor Who
Series 1.03 The Unquiet Dead
Writer: Mark Gatiss (Writer)
Director: Euros Lyn
Cast: Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who), Billie Piper (Rose Tyler), Alan David (Gabriel Sneed), Huw Rhys (Redpath), Jennifer Hill (Mrs Peace), Eve Myles (Gwyneth), Simon Callow (Charles Dickens), Wayne Cater (Stage Manager), Meic Povey (Driver), Zoe Thorne (The Gelth)

Originally I only wanted to watch one Doctor Who episode today. But then I saw that Eve Myles guest starred in this episode. I now know her from the main cast of Torchwood. Her character here is very different. If I hadn't read the name, I am not sure if I would have recognized her. Even though knowing it is her, it is rather obvious. She did a good job.

This episode reintroduces the concept, that when the doctor travels to the earth's path, he usually encounters an alien life form, from which he has to save humankind. It is a good episode, even though I am not much a fan of "ghost" stories.
