Plot:
In Boy Eats Girls the horror of school takes on a whole new meaning. Forget about the threat of the classroom bully, the anxiety of the rugby field or even the dread of being spurned by the girl you fancy; when your schoolmates develop a taste for human flesh it pays to know who your friends are, and what they've been eating...

Extras:

• Scene Access
• Bonus Trailers
• Featurettes
• Closed Captioned

I decided to go ahead and watch this one next... since it was the last movie in the 4 movie set I had to watch to get it out of my unwatched pile. I ended up enjoying this one quite a bit. It turned out to be just an all-around fun movie. I liked the story... I like the characters... most of the special effects was good. Though some of it did look fake. This is a comedy horror... while some of the comedy was not the best... over all I enjoyed it. It is definitely worth checking out. It turns out the 2 movies I watched today from this set (Tamara and Boy Eats Girl) were my favorites out of this 4 movie set. I got this set at Walmart for only $5... that is $1.25 per film... definitely worth the price if you get the chance to pick it up.

Die Hard, a review by DJ Doena

January, 2nd


Director: John McTiernan

Bruce Willis    ...    Officer John McClane
Bonnie Bedelia   ...    Holly Gennaro McClane
Reginald VelJohnson   ...    Sgt. Al Powell
Paul Gleason   ...    Deputy Police Chief Dwayne T. Robinson
William Atherton   ...    Richard Thornburg
Alan Rickman   ...    Hans Gruber

Synopsis: John McClane is a NY police detective who visits his wife for Christmas. She works as an executive in a company in L.A. and they celebrate not only Christmasbut also the new offices: the Nakatomi Tower. But it isn't a party until someone crashes it. In this case Hans Gruber and his gang, a pretending terrorist but actual thief who wants the 650 million Dollars in bearer bonds in the Nakatomi safe. What he didn't expect was "Roy".

My Opinion: Still a great piece of action cinema. John was one of the first heroes who actually bleed during their lone gunman action but there aren't many people who can keep up with his cool badass attitude. Of course Alan Rickman was also brilliant as the villain and if you ask me he was the best opponent John ever had. Or as Barney put it in How I Met Your Mother: "Charming international bandit. In the end, he dies hard. He's the title character."

My PILOT Marathon, a review by Rich

Being Human - Series One

Episode 1
The 3 housemates are discovering the difficulties of living in the human world, with vampire Mitchell struggling to repress his desire for blood, ghost Annie being confronted by another ghost from her past, and werewolf George looking for a place he can undergo his transformation in safety.






Despite this not being the original set of actors as the 'real pilot' it was clearly shown much later as the writers took great care in introducing the main characters, and how they became to be as they are. It is slickly written and produced, with a nice blend of drama, comedy and light horror. My favourite character is of course George, and keen to see how his storyline progresses. Altogether very impressed with this 'pilot' episode and the potential shown.
I will view the balance of this series very soon.
