While watching this one there was a few chuckles... but for the most part there is nothing special here. Matter of fact I had a hard time keeping my attention on it. Found my mind wandering to other things while watching. This one does seem to be geared more towards a younger crowd though.

Watching this brought back some memories as I had sat down and watched this with my father years ago as a young boy. My dad is still a huge John Wayne fan and I've been fortunate enough to replace most of his old VHS tapes with dvds for his collection.

This movie was done in 1948, before Wayne became 'The Duke' and really came into his own. While he was the headliner of this movie, his acting was almost tentative, lacking the confidence and swagger he would acquire later when he knew he was the bonafide western movie star. That would happen in '56 when he did The Searchers which would cement his legacy.

It was a good movie watching it the second time around although the take on the story of the three wise men didn't quite fit as much John Ford would have liked you think it did.

Nowhere close to being one of my favorite John Wayne movies but still solid.

Supernatural Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

EPISODE 3: DEAD IN THE WATER
Is a series of drownings in a Wisconsin lake the work of a vengeful spirit? A young eyewitness, traumatized into silence by the shock he experienced, may have the power to prophesy the next drowning.

Guest Stars:
Amy Acker as Andrea Barr
Daniel Hugh Kelly as Sheriff Jake Devins
Bruce Dawson as Bill Carlton

My Thoughts:
Another good episode. I liked seeing Amy Acker (Fred on Angel). I especially enjoyed seeing her in the bathtub scene!  Of course that bathtub scene was good fir other then the obvious reason. This episode has a good story, characters you care about. And I was actually surprised how good Dean was with the young boy. The kid did a good job of acting.... especially considering he had to do his role with virtually no lines. Had to do everything with body language.

My Rating:
