X-Files: Fight the Future, a review by addicted2dvd

X-Files: Fight the Future


My Thoughts:
A great movie for an awesome TV Series! I have been a fan of the TV series since my brother first got me into it around the 5th season. Then I played catch-up with the dvds when they were first released... Back then the first season retailed for $150.00 and I bought them for $100 per season... Now ... looking back and seeing what season sets cost now it makes me sick... but I enjoyed the series so much that it is really ok! When this movie was released I got my copy right away... and think they did a great job with it... because not only would any X-Files fan love it... it was set up that you didn't have to watch the series to enjoy the movie... so I am sure the series got new fans because of the movie. After watching this movie... I have the urge to watch an X-Files marathon... but 9 seasons of such a show... that just sounds like too much at the moment!

Dead Alive, a review by addicted2dvd

Dead Alive
Throw out all your preconceptions about the limits of horror! A new standard has been set with Dead Alive - The Mother of All Horror Films.

On a quiet street, in a small town, pure evil has come to stay. Lionel, an innocent young man, is forced to care for his domineering mother and finds the task a whole lot more demanding after she's bitten by the cursed Sumatran rat monkey. Passing the point of death, Lionel's mother sucks friends and family into her gruesome existence among the living dead and Lionel is sent spiraling into a goulish nightmare.

Now a crazed zombie, she soon infects enough people to make it difficult for Lionel, still the faithful son, to keep the neighbors from suspecting that something is terribly wrong.

Dead Alive is dripping with state-of-the-art special effects that feature mutilations, rock 'n roll dismemberments and household appliances, combining into the most bizarre ending ever filmed.

My Thoughts:
Ok... this movie was suggested to me over and over again. I had multiple people tell me that this is a must see movie. I think in this case I may have allowed people to hype it up just too much for me. I mean it was an OK movie... but not much more then that in my opinion. Definitely had it's moments... some funny scenes... and plenty of gore. Only problem is a good portion of that gore was so unrealistic it was almost cartoon-ish. As I said... it had it's moments... but while watching it all I could think of is everyone is going nuts over THIS... I just don't get it. But I am not sorry I have it in my collection... especially since it cost me nothing. And I can see myself watching it again here and there for a few laughs. But I personally don't see the cult following on this one.

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

My Thoughts:


PILOT
Ellen takes outlandish steps to correct a bad driver's license photo.

My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed watching this one. I forgot how funny this series was. Surprisingly I only have the first season in my collection so far. I will have to look into getting more seasons before too long.

My Rating:
