My Thoughts:
I have now watched all the movies in the Val Lewton Horror Collection (except for the 2 documentaries which I am not in much of a hurry to watch). I usually have a bit of a problem with many period pieces. And I must admit the period this movie is set in did set me off a bit. I really had a hard time keeping my attention on this movie. By the time I got half way into the movie I felt that this is the first movie in this collection I really don't care for. Sure it had a decent scene or two but not much more then that. Then I got to about the last 20 to 30 minutes of the movie. Here it picked up some more for me. It somewhat kept my interest at this point. But still this movie turned out to be my least favorite of the set.

After enjoying the first one as much as I did... I wanted to go ahead and watch part 2. Knowing ahead of time not to expect as much from it as the first one. And it isn't as good as the first one. But it is better then I was expecting going by reviews I have read. Even the trailer didn't look as promising. But when it came down to it I enjoyed it enough to say it was worth watching. Sure the storyline is much more silly. But it is also more of the same stuff I enjoyed about the first one. This one also has many more familiar faces then the first one did. I especially enjoyed seeing Mary Lynn Rajskub who was one of my favorites in 24. Then there was also Bob Newhart as a doorman that helped Elle through-out the movie. And also James Read who played Elle's father in both the movies. I know him from Charmed where he played the The Charmed Ones' father. While I can see why people didn't care for this one nearly as much... I am glad I have it in my collection to go along with part 1. I probably won't watch it as often as the first one... but I can see myself watching it again.

Sliders Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

11. THE YOUNG AND THE RELENTLESS
Quinn finds himself on the trail of his double's murderer when the Sliders land in a world where Wade and Quinn's counterparts are corporate executives up to their ears in a shady computer-software deal.

My Thoughts:
This is a good episode... though not quite as good as some episodes. In this one I enjoyed the side story of Rembrandt and Professor Arturo more then I did the main story.

My Rating:

12. INVASION
The Sliders land in the middle of an invasion. Acting in self defense, Quinn brings down one of the maurauding ships, only to find that the invaders are not what they seem.

My Thoughts:
This is the episode that introduces the Kromags. I have always been mixed on my feelings about the whole long Kromag storyline. While I am able to get into it... the storyline starts off as not so interesting to me.

My Rating:

13. AS TIME GOES BY
Quinn locates Daelin, a long lost love from home, on a roller coaster ride through three worlds--an America that lost the new world to the Spanish, an earth where time moves backwards and the Sliders are accused of Daelin's murder and a world which seems perfect for Quinn and Daelin to be reunited--but first Quinn must make a decision that could sever their ties forever.

My Thoughts:
This is the last episode of the second season. And completes the first boxset of DVDs. This episode I enjoyed quite a bit more then the previous several episodes. I liked that we actually got to see a few different demensions in this one episode... but with a story that interlinks through them all. Made for a different and interesting story.

My Rating:
