My Thoughts:

This is one I have seen several times before. It is one of my favorites. A good, fun story filled with a lot of big names. If you haven't seen this one yet... I definitely recommend it.

Die You Zombie Bastards!, a review by Jimmy




Title : Die You Zombie Bastards! (2006)

Overview
Thrill to the mayhem that ensues when ever-lovable serial killer Red Toole sets off on a globe-trotting quest in search of his missing wife, the lovely Violet - caught in the clutches of the evil Baron Nefarious who, of course, plans to conquer the world (or something) by turning everyone into Mindless Zombie Slaves! Sure, the story may sound familiar, but trust us - you've never seen anything like this...

My Impression
Don't expect something like a scary movie here, since it's a Troma like horror comedy (if Jon can count a movie with the word ghost in the title, I think I can do the same with mine... At least mine had naked green painted girl zombies in it :P). Being a Troma like film, you already know what to expect : bad acting, cheap special effect, gratuitious nudity and juvenile humour. Yes all of this is there in this film, but this isn't really the reason why I've bought it (Troma isn't really one of my favourite studio). I've bought it because Jamie Gillis (one of my favorite American actor) have a role in the movie and Hasil Adkins was a really cool redneck. The film itself isn't too bad, even if the humour is juvenile it's funny (certainly more than the idiotic ones I've watch in another marathon) and I like the fact that everyone overact voluntary with the exception of Jamie gillis who act seriously.

Not a movie that I watch often (2 times in three years), but it's a real funny ride.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Complete Second Season marathon, a review by Achim


1. Samson and Delilah
Rocked by the Jeep explosion, Cameron reverts back to her original mission: Terminate John Connor.  Will he be able to save himself?


My opinion:
After a rather brief summary of season 2 the episodes picks up exactly at the moment where season 1 ended. I highly enjoyed the first 5 minutes, where the dialog-free action on screen was edited to a song (which I liked, guess that helped). The main chunk of the episode is about the chase and the question if they will kill Cameron or be able to get her back on their side; and the related internal group conflict. Somewhere else a new character is introduced which puts that "Turk" storyline right back into gear.
(click to show/hide)

With a good amount of action this episode is a good starting point and makes me look forward for more. Summer obviously had fun being the bad guy (liked the scene where she fixes her face). Only problem I (still) have is, that Thomas Dekker somehow looks too old for the role. As some point they refer to him as a teenager which he is clearly not.
