The Animal, a review by addicted2dvd

The Animal: Special Edition
He might not look like much, but it's what's inside that counts. Comic genius Rob Schneider, TV's "Survivor" Colleen Haskell, John C. McGinley and Edward Asner star in the most outrageous and hysterical comedy of the year.

When evidence clerk Marvin Mange answers a 911 call of a burglary in progress, his dream of one day becoming a cop seems to be coming true. But a freak car accident en route to the crime leaves Marvin and his dream a shattered mess. When Marvin awakens a week later, he finds that a deranged scientist secretly used animal organs to rebuild his broken body. Energized by his new and improved parts, Marvin achieves instant fame as a super cop until his animal instincts start taking over his body at all the wrong times. And when he finds himself falling for the lovely and sexy Rianna, it's animal magnetism at its craziest in the funniest and wildest comedy of the year!

My Thoughts:
This is one that a friend gave to me because she didn't see herself watching it that often. I do know that have seen this one before... but it has been so long that I barely remember it. I didn't even remember if I enjoyed it much... so I went into this one not really knowing what to expect. It was a pretty good movie.... had some really funny parts in it. It was a bit more on the silly side then what I am normally used to... but that is to be expected with what the movie is about. This is a decent release of a special edition... I didn't watch many of the extras... but I did check out the deleted scenes. Anyway... is  a fun movie... and I can see myself watching it again at some point.

This is one I never heard of before a friend of mine sent it to me in a box of movies. But after watching the trailer I looked forward to checking it out. Especially after finding out it is one of Wes Craven's movies. After watching it I found that I did enjoy it... but it wasn't quite as good as I was expecting. I mean it is a decent suspense/thriller... but I think I went into it with my hopes up a little too high. But I think it is worth watching and I am glad I have it in my collection.  Just don't go into it expecting too much.

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

JAG


Pilot
Lt. Harmon "Harm" Rabb, a JAG lawyer who investigates and litigates crimes committed by Navy and Marine personnel, looks into the mysterious death of a female pilot aboard an aircraft carrier. Harm is convinced the female pilot who fell overboard didn't commit suicide, but was actually pushed, with all the suspects still aboard the aircraft carrier.

My Thoughts:
This is another of my favorite shows... unfortunately I have fell way behind on collecting this series... as I only have the first 5 seasons (of 10) so far. While this is a good pilot episode... I did enjoy every minute of it. I definitely prefer seasons 2 on. I like the character of Mac much better then any of his other partners. Gotta love Catherine Bell!  The storyline for this episode is very good. It really keeps your attention!
