Winning Season, a review by Rich

Winning Season





Fairly run of the mill sports associated story, this time with he backdrop of baseball, directed well and with a fair paced storyline that prevented the film slipping into tedium or over-sentimentality which often afflicts such productions. It is reminiscent of a Disney tv movie, a bit weepy with occasional drama, it will wash over you without making much impact. Modine was not a good choice for the lead, being unconvincing as any form of an athlete, but I thought Shawn Hatosy was particularly good.

Mirror Mirror, a review by addicted2dvd

Mirror Mirror
A shy teenager ('Rainbow Harvest') moves to a new town and quickly becomes the most unpopular girl in high school. But when she discovers a mysterious mirror, her tormentors begin to meet with a horrifying series of 'accidents'. 'Karen Black', 'Charlie Spradling', 'William Sanderson' and 'Ricky Paull Goldin' co-star in this surprising hit chiller that started it all.

My Thoughts:
I went into this one not expecting much of anything. It turned out to be a pretty good movie. I have seen better... but definitely enjoyable. Unfortunately this DVD has no extras what so every. Matter of fact... when you pop in the DVD it goes straight to the movie. It doesn't even bother bringing you to the menu first. Well considering I got all 4 movies in a boxset for only $5 I definitely can't complain.

Dark Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

4. Radar Love
Max and Logan must aside their complicated and lethal feelings for one another, when they investigate a series of unusual deaths and uncover a genocidal agenda linked to transgenic escapees.

My Thoughts:
This is a good episode... though nothing big... or special happens in it... just a basic good episode.

5. Boo
On Halloween night, Max finds her "normal" world turned upside down when the creatures she let out of Manticore are able to walk the streets freely without fear of exposure. As she and Joshua, with a crazy band of characters, race against time to find a headless body before it carries out its intended lethal mission, Max is faced with the reality that Asha and Logan are getting closer than ever.

My Thoughts:
OK... Now this episode I love! It is definitely one of my favorites of the whole series. I know I don't care to much for the mutant looking transgenics... but this episode really makes up for it. I love Halloween episodes of any and all TV Series... but in this case it works perfectly with the  show itself. And another thing I liked is that they didn't take this episode seriously at all... it is more like the total opposite.... they seemed to go out of their way to be silly and just have fun. Which is what this episode is... just plain fun!

6. Two
Disturbed by Joshua's unusual behavior, as well as Alec's new job working at Jam Pony, Max's concern for Joshua is heightened when sector police killings are attributed to a "beast-like" creature.

My Thoughts:
Now of course back to being more serious... this one is another really good episode. Shows that even then Manticore made more then one of each mutant/soldier.

7. Some Assembly Required
Max discovers that Zack is not only alive but apparently benefiting from some cybernetic enhancements to his genetic engineering, however he does have memory problems.

My Thoughts:
I bet that by this point you thought you would never see Zack again... but here he is. This is a good episode. Of course where he wasn't remembering everything... and only remembering small pieces at a time... they had to have it so he remembered some stuff wrong. Good episode with lots of action. Enjoyed it!
