Night of the Living Dead (1968), a review by addicted2dvd

Title: Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Movie Count: 30
TV Ep Count: 13
Time Started: 3:30pm
Plot:
The dead come back to life and eat the living in this low budget, black and white film. Several people barricade themselves inside a rural house in an attempt to survive the night. Outside are hordes of relentless, shambling zombies who can only be killed by a blow to the head.

My Thoughts:
As much as this is one of my favorite zombie movies... there is one thing that always bugged me about this movie. I mean I know it is only a sign of it's time and all... but I absolutely despised Barbara's reaction in this movie... all the screaming and crying... I so just wanted to slap her! I always liked a strong and smart woman in horror movies... none of that crying... screaming... running upstairs instead of out the front door or tripping over her own 2 feet type crap for me! Even with that said I consider this to be an excellent zombie movie... one I believe every horror fan should see... at least once!

X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a review by addicted2comics

Hey! Had some spare time, watched this again, decided to tell ya what I think.


X-Men Origins: Wolverine

The Plot:After seeking to live a normal life, Logan sets out to avenge the death of his girlfriend by undergoing the mutant Weapon X program and becoming Wolverine.

My Thoughts:I thought this movie was amazing in theaters, but watching it again and me now being a comic book geek, I fully understand what's happening here. It was cool how they introduced terms like adamantium, Weapon X, and such so new guys can understand it. It also had funny moments. Some things did bug me though, like the way DeadPool had so many powers, his skin was normal compared to what it should be, and they sewed his mouth shut. (which is ripped open in the end.)All the same the action was awesome, and I'm guessiung they'll go deeper in the 2011 DeadPool movie, so I can forgive that. I think it's real cool how they fit in Gambit, Professor X, Emma Frost, and Cyclops too. The moon/wolverine story Logan's girlfriend told him was a little on the corny side, but it later plays a major part in the story, so I can forgive that too. The way they condensed the characters, along with the humor, romance, action, and overall coolness, I gotta give this 5 out of 5.

After receiving this one today I couldn't wait to check it out to see if it was as good as I remembered from when I was a kid. Unfortunately not so much. It is still entertaining... and I can still enjoy watching it... but it really isn't anything more then an average sitcom. Through-out the entire 8 episodes on this disc I only chuckled a few times. My favorite episode has to be the 3 part pilot episode. Mills Creek Entertainment really goofed up on the packaging of this disc. This is a single DVD... and they put it in a double thick Keep Case. But not even a normal double thick Keep Case... the DVD itself is housed in a paper envelope... which is then held in place by clips in the keep case. I have seen multiple disc releases like this before... but this is the first time I ever seen it done for a single disc release!
