Faces of Death, a review by Jimmy

Title : Faces of Death (1978)

Overview
Possibly one of the most talked about video series of all time, Faces Of Death examines the many guises of death in extreme close-up. Sure to shock, horrify and even repulse, these brutal films are not meant for the faint of heart. The classic series is the one true original Faces Of Death. Accept no substitute!

My Impression
The first one of this genre that I've seen in my life and my mother beat me (not too hard) for one of the first and only time in my life because I've let my younger sister watched it with me. I can understand why my mother was really angry since my sister was only 6 years old and had made nightmares for week after that experience. The first time I've seen it I was impress and shock, but since them I've realized that much of it is fake. Except for some autopsy footage and the animal scene everything is fake or modify. So the more know moments (the electric chair, the monkey restaurant, the aligator attack and the bear attack) are fabricated and really obvious if we take the time too think : multiple angle, camera place at impossible place if hidden (by exemple a camera under the table in the monkey scene. Don't forget the camera were big 30 years ago), peoples who didn't speak naturally, many continuity errors...

Sure there are a lot of real footage that can be not for anyone : a pitbull fight, a normal day at a slaughterhouse, autopsy procedures, seals clubbing, ...

My Magic Dog, a review by addicted2dvd

My Magic Dog
He's cute, he's furry and he's completely invisible...except to Toby, his 8 year old best friend. His name is Lucky, The Magic Dog.

When Toby's evil aunt Violet tries to steal Toby's inheritance, Lucky fights off 2 teenage bullies and wrecks Aunt Violet's nasty scheme. Only you and Toby can see his invisible friend when Lucky saves the say!

My Thoughts:
I wanted to watch a movie with my daughter Brittany... so I told her to pick out one of her movies for us to watch. She picked this one... one I never seen before. I have to admit... this is a very cute and entertaining family movie. I enjoyed it more then I thought I would. This one actually had me laugh out loud more then once. Looking for a good movie to watch with your children... give this one a try. I think you will enjoy it.

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

My Thoughts:


PILOT
Ellen takes outlandish steps to correct a bad driver's license photo.

My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed watching this one. I forgot how funny this series was. Surprisingly I only have the first season in my collection so far. I will have to look into getting more seasons before too long.

My Rating:
