She-Wolf of London (1946), a review by addicted2dvd

She-Wolf of London (1946)


My Thoughts:
This one... while a good mystery movie... it made for a bad monster movie. I not really sorry I have it... because on it's own it is a pretty good movie... just not sure it should have been included in this set. I understand why they included it... just not so sure I agree with them on it. As I said... it is an enjoyable movie... and June Lockhart was good in her role... as well as an attractive woman. So that helped the enjoyment some as well. I have to say... even though they really did a good job remastering the movies... I would have liked to seen some like care given to the Theatrical Trailers. The trailer for this one looked pretty bad.

A very enjoyable movie. Mara Wilson (who I know from the remake of "Miracle on 34th Street") did a really good job in the title role. Also Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman are great as the neglectful parents of Matilda. Embeth Davidtz as Miss Honey reminded me of Geena Davis in Stuart Little.

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

Full House
Take three little girls, their recently widowed father, and two of dad's best buddies, put them in the same household, and stand back for a Full House of laughs, love and warmth.

Enjoy all 22 Season One episodes (plus wonderful extras!) of the smash-hit series that ran from 1987 to 1995. Bob Saget plays Danny Tanner, the girls' doting dad. John Stamos is their rock-'n'-rollin' Uncle Jesse. Dave Coulier is Joey, a wannabe comic whose best audience is right at home. And the three Tanner youngsters are played by Candice Cameron, Jodie Sweetin and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who share the role of nine-month-old scene stealer Michelle. Their house is your house!

Our Very First Show
Joey and Jesse's very first day as dads includes that harrowing rite of passage: changing a diaper.

My Thoughts:
While not what I would call a favorite, this series is entertaining. A fun show with a few laughs. The show has a likable cast and is one of those type of shows where most all problems is solved in the one half hour show. It was kind of weird seeing this first episode again... and seeing how long Jesse's hair was at the time. And I must say it was hilarious to see Jesse and Joey trying to change a diaper. At this point I still only have the first season of the series... on of these days I will have to continue collecting this series. As I said... not a favorite but fun.... and I am sure I could get these sets fairly cheap.

My Rating:
