The Blob, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: The Blob
Movie Count: 82
TV Ep Count: 29
Time Started: 1pm
Plot:
THE BLOB has returned in this horrific tale about a vile, malignant life-form that crashes to earth in a cozy, rural American town called Arborville. Untroubled by conscience or intellect, the Blob does only one thing - and it does it well. It eats anything and everything that moves: men, women, children. And tonight it wants to swallow Arborville whole. The original version of THE BLOB thrilled and terrified audiences back in the 1950s. Now the oozing, gooey killer is back with a whole new high-tech look. What was once only suggested now comes to life in this visually gut-wrenching thriller in the tradition of such classic remakes as 'The Thing' and 'The Fly'.

My Thoughts:
I know this is a remake of an old B&W Horror movie... to my memory I never seen the original... but going by this movie I would like to.  This movie could definitely be better.... but I enjoyed it quite a bit.  The effects are hit and miss... some of them are rather cool... even to the point of gross. Others are very cheesy and cheap looking. The only extra on the DVD is the trailer.

I just finished watching this one (and all the extras). And I must say... as a huge fan of the TV Series...I loved enjoyed every minute of the film. While I think the movie can hold it's own as a good movie if you never seen the TV Series. But it is a must see/must own for any/all fans of the TV series. I can't think of many regulars of the series that didn't at least have a cameo here. But the downside to that is that most the characters has less screen time then you would want them to have. I don't think I really need to say this... but this is one that I highly recommend. Though (while what is there is great) I would have liked to seen a few more extras. Though I did love the hour long making of!

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

Booker
Richard Grieco stars as Dennis Booker, a rebellious ex-cop who leaves the beat to work for a private investigation agency owned by a large corporate conglomerate in this acclaimed 21 Jump Street spinoff series. Booker's offbeat appearance and resistance to authority brands him a renegade investigator in the eyes of his straight laced colleagues.

Booker (Pilot Episode)
Booker gets a corporate security job. His secretary, Elaine, requires help in clearing a man she recently helped convict while serving on a jury.

My Thoughts:
While not as good as 21 Jump Street this is a good series. It did take me a while to get used to this character in his own series... since he was never a character I cared much about in the first series. But I was happy I gave it a chance. He does grow on you. The pilot episode (and a couple others) has some help from cast from 21 Jump Street. Both Peter DeLuise (Doug Penhal) and Steven Williams (Capt. Fuller) are guest stars in this series. I also enjoyed seeing Marcia Strassman (M*A*S*H, Welcome Back Kotter) in a series again.

My Rating:
