I grabbed this one because it sounded interesting to me. It is a mixture of a "Found Footage" film and an Anthology... and I enjoy both these types of films. Over-all I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I found I enjoyed most all the stories. I especially liked the one where the guy and girl was video chatting over the computer. going by reviews I read it seems like basically half the people enjoy it and half the people hate it. But I think if you like Anthologies and found Footage films... this one is definitely worth checking out. I am now looking forward to seeing part 2 when it comes out.

Men in Black III, a review by Dragonfire

Men in Black III



Since I liked the first two, I was interested in seeing this one.

Agents J and K are still working together, and sometimes still clashing a bit over how to deal with certain things.  When Boris the Animal escapes from prison, it sets off a series of event that cause J to travel back in time to 1969 to keep Boris from killing K then.

I think this movie can stand alone fairly well, though a few things will probably make more sense if the movies are seen in order.  The idea of J having to travel back in time is interesting and I think it works well overall.  For the most part, this is a fun, entertaining movie, though there are a few moments that are more serious.  There is decent action and a bit of humor, much like there was in the first movies.  Because of the time travel, Tommy Lee Jones is missing for much of the movie.  Josh Brolin does an amazing job as the younger K.  It is like he is channeling Jones, and the result is a character that is a bit different, but still a believable younger version of Jones's K. 

Overall, I enjoyed the movie and think it is worth seeing, especially for fans of the first two movies.  Some of what happens is a bit predictable, but the movie is still entertaining. 



I did get a longer review posted on Epinions.com.

My PILOT Marathon, a review by Rich

JERICHO - SEASON ONE - PILOT



First Aired: Wednesday September 20, 2006   
After a nuclear disaster caused by several terrorist attacks destroys most of America, residents of a small Kansas town must come to terms with a new and very different reality.

Finally got my boxset back!
Not as good as I had hoped and could have been better, but this series shows definite potential.
The storyline basis of the aftermath of a nuclear attack in the USA had me intrigued and excited, as it was fairly original amidst all the 'missing person criminal alien conspiracy dramas' available. The build up failed to create any tension and was not in-depth enough for me. Too many characters rushed onto screen so it was hard to relate to any, and the weight and severity of a nuclear attack wasnt driven home.
However, despite it's downfalls, the pilot did have some very interesting ideas which I shan't share as it may spoil it. The viewpoint of an isolated town witnessing the mushroom clouds from afar was very chilling.
I must admit I immediately watched episode 2 after the pilot, it has that Lost/Surface/4400/24 type of addiction that just makes you HAVE to know what happens next
