The Spiderwick Chronicles, a review by addicted2comics

The Plot: After moving into a new house, Jared Grace and his family discover a field guide that opens their eyes to a world of mystical creatures around them.

My Thoughts: Well, starting with the negatives, the plot is kind of done, I mean, I can't shake the Chronicles of Narnia out of my head. Not to mention some scenes are so dark its hard to see. All the same as the film moves on it greatly improves. My hopes weren't that high as it was a Nickelodeon movie, so I associated it with such shows as iCarly and Spongebob, but this is way better. There are some moments I think would reach out to anyone - - - a little girl growing up without a father, a divorcing family, work making a guy ignore his family. What? I said it would reach out, I didn't say it would make you happy!!

After watching the movie, my only regret for this is that there aren't more mystical creatures. The movie mainly focuses on an attack of goblins and trolls, featuring a few others but not all that much. All in all, it pretty cool, would recommend it to anyone, and give it a solid 4 out of 5.

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Scooby Doo, Where Are You!



What's the show about?
Four teenagers - Velma, Daphne, Fred & Shaggy - and their dog, Scooby Doo, solve mysteries of spooky castles, ghosts and monsters that never are what they appear to be.

"What a Night for a Knight"
When the moon is full the "Black Knight" becomes alive again in a museum and the scooby gang investigates the disapearence of an english professor in such a night.

My Opinion
Loved the show (and all its successors) when I was a kid, especially Shaggy and Scooby. That was also the reason why I bought both movies.
