Plot:
Bounty hunters from the future raid the present to provide new bodies for the super rich in the all-out, pedal-to-the-metal sci-fi thriller Freejack, directed by Geoff Murphy (Young Guns) and sparked by the imagination of Alien and Total Recall veteran Ronald Shusett.

Emilio Estevez, Mick Jagger, Anthony Hopkins and Rene Russo star, keeping pace with the scenic, supersonic excitement. Prior to a crash, race car driver Alex Furlong (Estevez) is snatched from his cockpit and hurled into the futureworld of 2009. He's dead. And running for his life. He's a "freejack," a stranger in the strangest of lands. And a relentless "bonejacker" (Jagger) can collect millions bringing him in.

Watching this one I am not sure if I seen it before or not. Some parts of it looked very familiar to me.... where others did not. I heard this film has a reputation of being bad. I just don't see how. I thought it had a good story... some great action... and a lot of big names. Felt like it was done well to me. Even if it was a little on the predictable side. I think it is definitely worth the time put in to watch it.

Overview	A group of fun-loving teenagers take jobs at a recently re-opened summer camp, unaware of the circumstances that had led to its closure: the drowning of a young boy named Jason and subsequent murder of two counsellors over twenty years before. No sooner has the camp re-opened for business than the killing begins again, as the teens are picked off one by one.
My thoughts	I had planned on a Friday the 13thFriday the 13th should Friday the 13th The Burning or The Prowler (both also with Savini effects). So, a mediocre slasher, but one that was made famous thanks to its sequels, more than anything else. Still, in order to appreciate the success of the Friday the 13th
My rating	4 out of 5

Plot:
DILBERT - the most popular comic strip of the decade - is now on DVD. With his signature turned-up tie, round glasses and buzz cut, Dilbert is already a pop culture phenomenon, providing an irreverent reference point for workers everywhere.

Developed and produced by Emmy Award-winning writer/producer Larry Charles ("Seinfeld," "Mad About You"), DILBERT, the series, follows the "every man" as he copes with daily life at The Company. 'Daniel Stern' ("The Wonder Years," 'Home Alone', 'City Slickers') stars as the voice of Dilbert, while 'Chris Elliot' voices his roommate Dogbert, who views the entire world as existing for his personal entertainment. Joining Dilbert in the office are his fellow engineers: the no-nonsense, caffeinated Alice ('Kathy Griffin') and selfish, slothful Wally ('Gordon Hunt').

Follow Dilbert and his co-workers as they try to make sense of corporate culture through witty banter and silly slapstick. Guest voices includes 'Jason Alexander, Andy Dick, Eugene Levy, Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Tom Green' and more!


Dilbert
1.01 The Name

I haven't watched this series since I got the DVDs years ago. I am subscribed to the iTunes podcast, which brings you about one 20 second episode a day. This is the much better format for Dilbert, which of course is a four-panel comic. I also had trouble with the Wally character in this series. He is much better portrayed in the 20 second episodes.
