Title: Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein
Movie Count: 59
TV Ep Count: 29
Other  Count: 2
Time Started: 2:15pm
Plot:
This Abbott and Costello horror-comedy flick features the bumbling buddies as railroad baggage clerks who receive a strange shipment -- the last remains of Dracula and Frankenstein's monster. Trouble is they're still alive! When the deadly duo escape to a remote island, Abbott and Costello follow their trail and find not only the two ghouls, but also a mad scientist who wants to switch Costello's brain with that of Frankenstein's monster.

My Thoughts:
This movie I borrowed from my brother's collection because I felt like a little comedy-horror... but something I haven't seen in a long time. This movie is a lot of fun.... I enjoyed every minute of it.

My Thoughts:
This one I was looking forward to checking out since it was given to me. I pretty much like anything that has to do with the supernatural. But this one started out a bit slow for me and I worried I wasn't going to be able to get into it. What with the main character being so unlikeable. But as the character grew a bit... the movie itself grew a bit on me. By about two-thirds of the way in I was pretty hooked. Though there is definitely many more romantic comedies I would prefer over this one. But I can see myself watching this one again every now and then.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Complete First Season marathon, a review by Dragonfire

4. Heavy Metal
Cameron discovers a truck loaded with enough metal to build over 500 endoskeletons. Are more Terminators about to be created?

My Thoughts

This was a very good episode.  There were hints of John starting to take more control and make decisions instead of just doing everything his mother said all the time.  Granted, his decision was a bit risky and put him in danger.  I liked seeing John try to take more control, though I also get why Sarah wanted to run.  I also thought it was interesting to see how Skynet was trying to adapt plans to make sure that Judgment Day still happened.  And Cameron offered a brief explanation for how the head and body were still working and how they were programed to repair themselves...which does tie back in to the first movie with how that Terminator was repairing himself.  It still seemed iffy to me how the body could work when the head was so far away, but it isn't bugging me as much since there has been an attempt to explain.

5. Queen's Gambit
A chess contest has the potential to link the Turk and Skynet. Meanwhile, the missing Resistance Fighter appears.

My Thoughts

This was a really good episode.  I think the potential link between the Turk and Skynet made sense.  I liked that Sarah still had some..compassion and didn't want to just start killing everyone who might possibly be connected to Skynet in the future.  Cameron was there for that..lol.  Anyway, the episode was really good and I liked the added connection to Kyle.  At first I was surprised that Derek didn't know more..but then it made sense once I thought about it. 

6. Dungeons and Dragons
Derek's consciousness shifts between his injured state in the present and the future he already knows to be true.

My Thoughts

Another really good episode.  I liked seeing bits of the future and what Derek experienced before he traveled back in time.  I'm wondering if something happened to make Derek distrust Cameron, or if he just feels that way because she's a Terminator.  I'm also wondering some other things now too and I'm anxious to finish the last episodes.  It will be hard for me to wait to finish them up.  lol.


I'm really enjoying this show and I'm glad I decided to pick up the DVD set.
