OK... what did I watch here? This one is definitely only for those that have fond memories of the '60s Adam West TV series... which I did watch as a kid. So this one does have a touch of nostalgia for me... but at the same time not as it is a new film. Just made in the way of the old series. Right down to 3 of the series stars doing voices for this animated film.I felt this one to be hilariously awful. But for those that don't know or didn't like the '60s it would just be plain awful. This film made me realize just how much I prefer the modern animated Batman movies!

Friday the 13th - Part V: A New Beginning, a review by RossRoy

WHAT THEY SAY

MY THOUGHTS

Well the series is starting to feel a bit redundant here. It also reeks of studio involvement/director sellout. I mean, it's worse than an Agatha Christie novel! Always the same plot, just a different setting! They did try to mix things up a bit, but boy did it fall flat on its face and I can't even think of a single reasoning how they thought, even for a mere second, that it would work and that fans would still like it! (well, I guess fans did like it enough.. after all, there's still 5 movies (6 if you count the Freddy crossover, 7 with the remake) to go! (click to show/hide) I'm talking about the fact that "Jason" here is a mere copycat! With a different mask to boot! I can pretty much sum up my feeling for this installment with a single onomatopoeia: meh! Is it me who is different? I mean, you could do a "Friday the 13th" in 60 seconds very easily. Line up 10 teenagers, have them each say their name, then have random sex, because we all know you need boobs to sell a horror movie. Then have Jason kill each of them from behind, one after another, in rapid succession. Have the last person finally notice what's going on, pull a knife and drive it into Jason's head. Cut to mental institute, add quick dream sequence of imaginary Jason attacking. Voila! Friday the 13th in 60 seconds! (click to show/hide) Ok, it's not actually for a Friday the 13th, but it's close enough: http://www.angryalien.com/0605/freddyjasonbuns.asp But then, that's me being a bit harsh. It did keep me entertained. It's just gotten to a point where the movie is just too predictable. But I give it points for having an actress who actually bears the name Voorhees: Debi Sue Voorhees who plays Tina. And she's incredibly beautiful! And we get to see her naked!

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

Bones
David Boreanaz (Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) stars as F.B.I. Agent Seeley Booth, who teams up with forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) to solve some of the most baffling and bizarre crimes ever. Booth depends on clues from the living, witnesses and suspects, while Brennan gathers evidence from the dead, relying on her uncanny ability to read clues left behind in the bones of the victims. Their different investigative styles cause the two to frequently clash, creating an undeniable chemistry and just the right touch of dark humor. Inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs and state-of-the-art criminal invenstigation procedures, Bones is compelling, cutting-edge television.

Pilot:
Forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan teams up with FBI agent Seeley Booth to investigate the murder of a Senate intern, the political implications of which may prove to be staggering.

My Thoughts:
This is an awesome series with a great cast. It was a bit weird seeing Brennan's old boss from the first season again. While I enjoyed it I do prefer her new boss now. This is another show where I was left wanting to watch more episodes. Definitely a series I highly recommend.

My Rating:
