My Thoughts:
This is the first time I have watched this movie. And once again I enjoyed it very much. Same type of great effects... this time done slightly better. An interesting story that held my attention throughout... and horror legend Vincent Price as The Invisible Man. How can you go wrong? But I must admit... this is one of the older movies I have seen with Vincent Price.... and I really didn't recognize him! If it wasn't for his name in the credits... I would never have realized it was him. This movie has great image and sound quality (at least on my standard 24in TV). It was a true joy to watch.

Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan
Movie Count: 97
TV Ep Count: 45
Other  Count: 2
Time Started: 8:30am
Plot:
The Big Apple's in big trouble, as indestructible psycho-fiend Jason Voorhees hits the road to New York City -- and paints the town "red."

After a shocking return from beyond the grave, the diabolical Jason ships out aboard a teen filled "love boat" bound for New York, which he soon transforms into the ultimate voyage of the damned. Then one of his terrified victims escapes into the nightmarish maze of Manhattan's subways and sewers, only to confront Jason one final time.

My Thoughts:
This is my least favorite of the F13 movies. I still find it worth watching... but I really didn't care much for Jason in New York. He just belongs in the woods! Though there was a part or two that was worth a good chuckle with him in the city. And I really didn't care the way they chose to end this one.

My PILOT Marathon, a review by Rich

STEP OUT OF THE SUNLIGHT AND A DARKER WORLD EMERGES.
Like their CSI counterparts in Las Vegas, the CSI: Miami team, headed by lead  criminologist Horatio Caine (David Caruso), tackles the fascinating, compelling approach to  crime known as forensic science. Behind the sun, surf and palm trees lurks a captivating,  25-episode premiere season of spellbinding mysteries and baffling clues - all captured on  DVD in this seven-disc collection of CSI: Miami - The Complete First Season.

Disappointing pilot, too much glitz and glamour to the expense of suspense or reality. David Caruso is one of my least favourite actors, and his presence would always make me feel negative to the show.
My daughter is hooked on all the CSI variations, but personally I find nothing in the few episodes I've seen and this particular pilot to draw me back with any enthusiasm. Everything seems all too easy, and convenient, and everyone so pretty and well dressed, that I can't buy in to it.
