Clerks, a review by DJ Doena

May, 20th


Brian O'Halloran    ...    Dante
Jeff Anderson   ...    Randal
Marilyn Ghigliotti   ...    Veronica
Lisa Spoonhauer   ...    Caitlin
Jason Mewes   ...    Jay
Kevin Smith   ...    Silent Bob
Scott Mosier   ...    Willam the Idiot Manchild

Synopsis: Dante is a convenient store clerk who isn't supposed to work today but has to come in anyways. Together with his friend Randal who works at the neighbouring video store he philosophizes through the entire spectrum of topics while unwillingly "serving" customers. When they don't work (which they mostly don't) and don't philosophize they play hockey or drive to a wake or talk to friends and girlfriends. And so the day goes by...

My Opinion: I got the idea of watching this again when I stumbled across the "ABC" dance video of Clerks II. It's funny how a movie is able to not to have an actual story and still be very entertaining for 92 minutes. I have always loved the part where they discuss the morality of destroying a Death Star while it's still under construction and thus having a lot of external contractors like roofers and plumbers are on board.

Ghost Whisperer Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

9. The Curse of the Ninth
A brilliant musician finds himself surrounded by two ghosts: his critical composer father, and his old bandmate who died in a plane crash.

My Thoughts:
A decent... but somewhat standard episode. Even though it is enjoyable... it really didn't impress me that much. Maybe there was just too much music in it for my taste.

10. Giving Up the Ghost
in order to get back at his former coach, whom he holds responsible for his death, the spirit of a baseball player inhabits the body of a team's star pitcher.

My Thoughts:
Another good episode... but once again... nothing really all that special in my opinion. Just a good standard episode.

11. Cat's Claw
Melinda considers telling Professor Payne her secret now that a ghost has followed his colleague back from the jungle, where he was left for dead.

My Thoughts:
This one I really liked... enjoyed every minute of it. We knew it would only be a matter of time before Melinda would have to tell Professor Payne her secret what with how much she was running to him with questions. Just like it is only a matter of time before she will have to tell Delia.

12. Dead to Rights
The spirit of a man in a coma contacts Melinda about the pain he is in, watching his wife in a legal battle with his parents to take him off life support.

My Thoughts:
This is another episode I really liked a lot. I couldn't imagine having to deal with such a situation. When do you say it is time to stop life support for someone... and let nature take it's course?
