ReviewSay Anything. Written and directed by Cameron Crowe, Say AnythingIn Your Eyes, the insight that she imparts to him, rings the truth that transcends the atypical approach made by similar films of a lesser pedigree.

       If you are only familiar with John Cusack from films such as Better off Dead, The Sure Thing or One Crazy Summer, you owe it to yourself to see the film that helped him graduate from teen oriented comedies and set him on the path to acting adulthood.


Ratings Criterion4 Stars - Historically important film, considered a classic.

The Running Man, a review by addicted2dvd

The Running Man: Special Edition
THE YEAR IS 2019.
Television is now ruling people's lives. The most popular "audience participation" game show is "The Running Man" - where convicts can win pardons instead of "parting gifts" by defeating murderous henchmen known as "stalkers." The stalkers haven't had much of a challenge lately...until Ben Richards (Schwarzenegger) comes along.

My Thoughts:
I figured while I am at it... I would go ahead and knock out my other new movie. This one I know I have seen before... but it was many years... when it was first out on VHS. I definitely enjoyed it then... and now is no different... because I still found this movie to be a lot of fun. Makes you wonder... with the popularity of Reality TV... is it only a matter of time before we take it this far?

I thought it was fun to watch the "Stalkers" go down one at a time... going against Ben Richards. My favorites of the stalkers had to be between the one with the chainsaw and the one with the flame thrower. There was a few extras on this DVD... but I didn't check out any of them yet.

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

5. BRUTAL YOUTH
Jimmy's boyhood pal comes staggering into the newsroom - white-haired, wrinkled and old.

My Thoughts:
This is a fun episode. For more then one reason. I enjoyed the storyline. Especially seeing Lois panic about her mortality. Seeing and old Lois with a still young Superman was pretty comical. I also liked that they had the guest star of Jack Larson playing the old version of Jimmy Olsen. For those of you that don't know that name. His is the guy that played Jimmy Olsen in the Adventures of Superman starring George Reeves. So it was cool seeing him reprive that role (well some what) after all these years.


6. THE PEOPLE VS. LOIS LANE
The D.A. has an airtight case against a suspected killer; the crime and film and a city full of eyewitnesses. The accused: Lois Lane.

My Thoughts:
This is a very good 2 part episode. Enjoyed it quite a bit.


7. DEAD LOIS WALKING
Will Lois get the chair? Not with Superman around! One prison break later, Lois and Clark hunt for the real killer.

My Thoughts:
While a very good conclusion... I think I liked the first part a little more. I didn't care much for how Lois looked in that wig she wore in a couple of the scenes in this episode.


8. BOB AND CAROL AND LOIS AND CLARK
Lois and Clark's new best buddies Bob and Carol seem too good to be true. And they are: Bob is the cold-blooded assassin Deathstroke.

My Thoughts:
This one is enjoyable... but really no more then a filler episode. I thought it was kinda funny to have Deathstroke use the same glasses technique for a secret identity as Clark does... but over all while enjoyable I think it could have been better. Some of the acting by the guest stars was a little on the stiff side.
