Superhero Movie, a review by addicted2comics

well, haven't posted in a while, but I got two more reviews for you all. First up:


The Plot: This is a spoof of superhero movies from the Marvel Universe, but none more than Spider-Man, or in this case, the Dragonfly. Thia also features the Fantastic Four and the X-Men spoofs, all intertwining to defeat the Hourglass.

My Thoughts: Superhero Movie, I have to admit was pretty funny. I know a lot of the jokes could be considered tired, but there are jokes in it that you know you caught yourself wondering while watching the other movies, like "That must be a really tall building if they are still falling" or "How can he see/breathe through that mask?" Still, I'm not a fan of this type of comedies as a whole, so that's pushing me away a little. I'll give it a 3.5 out of 5.

Salem's Lot (2004), a review by addicted2dvd

NOW WATCHING....


Salem's Lot (2004)
Welcome to Jerusalem's Lot - Salem's Lot, as locals call it. Population: 1319. And growing eerier by the moment. Because an ominous outsider has moved into the sleepy New England town's foreboding Marsten House and brought with him an unspeakable horror.

This powerful new adaptation of Stephen King's terrifying bestseller stars Rob Lowe as a writer who returns to his hometown to confront his haunted past... and who soon leads the fight against a heart-stopping force of evil. Andre Braugher, Donald Sutherland, Samantha Mathis, Rutger Hauer and James Cromwell co-star, and help supply proof that when it comes to thrills, chills and unearthly dread you can't keep the undead down. Walk the streets of Salem's Lot... if you dare.

My Thoughts:
I just can't have a Stephen King marathon and not watch Salem's Lot. I normally would jump at watching the original... but I have just recently watched that one. So figured I would watch the remake this time. Not that the remake isn't good... I really did enjoy both versions a lot! Of course it helps that I love vampire movies in general.

As I said... I did enjoy this version of the miniseries... but do think I prefer the original. This version does have some good scenes that isn't in the original though. Most notably must be the scene with the vampire children on the school bus. Anyway... if you haven't seen this remake I would suggest checking it out.

Tom's TV Pilots marathon, a review by Tom

Golden Girls: The Complete Series (1985/United States) IMDb | Wikipedia Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment (Germany)

---

The Golden Girls
Season 1.01 Pilot (aka "The Engagement")
Writer: Susan Harris (Writer)
Director: Jay Sandrich
Cast: Beatrice Arthur (Dorothy), Betty White (Rose), Rue McClanahan (Blanche), Estelle Getty (Sophia), Charles Levin (Coco), Frank Aletter (Harry), F. William Parker (The Minister), Meshach Taylor (The Cop)

I never really followed the Golden Girls, but I always watched it, when I caught it on TV. Recently I encounter a lot of articles, that The Golden Girls is one of the shows, which really holds up after 30+ years. And as I always like Betty White and remembered enjoying her on the series, and also Estelle Getty, I thought I would finally get me the series.
The first episode was good and had some really funny lines. I especially liked Rose's naivity.
