Plot:My Thoughts:
This is another of this month's blind buys. I picked this one up because I wanted to finish my collection of After Dark Horrorfest releases. Unearthed is an entertaining movie... one of the ones where you barely get to see the creature through-out the movie. But it is not the best movie I have seen of it's kind. I would say it is just a little above average. Worth a look if you find it cheap or catch it on cable.

Scream, a review by addicted2dvd

Scream
A crowd-pleasing smash hit with a sizzling cast - critics are calling SCREAM the hippest thriller of the year! After a series of mysterious deaths, a seemingly peaceful community becomes a place where no one is safe...and everyone is suspect! That's when an offbeat group of friends rally to unlock the town's deadly secrets...and get caught up in a lively mix of thrills, chills and surprises! Featuring all-star talent, including Drew Barrymore ('Boys on the Side'), Courteney Cox (TV's 'Friends'), Neve Campbell ('The Craft'), Skeet Ulrich ('Touch'), and David Arquette ('Beautiful Girls'), this strikingly original and entertaining motion picture delivers nonstop edge-of-your-seat excitement...and fun! Bonus: Contains an audio commentary by director Wes Craven and screenwriter Kevin Williamson!

My Thoughts:
There is no way I could have a Wes Craven Marathon and not watch Scream! This was a really good movie... I liked it because it dealt with the subject of horror movies. And of course horror movies are my favorites! I like not only the opening scene where they had the horror movie trivia questions the killer asked on the phones... but where it continued on with the "Rules" of horror movies. A lot of fun.

I still have the original release of this one... though I am hoping to upgrade it to the Collector's Series.

Well... that makes 7 Wes Craven movies.. I think I will just go ahead and call it an end to this marathon... and decide what I will watch next. It was a really fun marathon though... and look forward to revisit my Wes Craven collection again in the future.

Grey's Anatomy Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

6. If Tomorrow Never Comes
Alex gains the trust of a nervous patient with an extraordinarily large tumor, only to humiliate himself in front of her later. Derek chooses Meredith to assist with a grouchy Parkinson's patient who may need surgery but Bailey, who disapproves of their relationship, is determined to make Meredith suffer. Tensions escalate between Burke and Shepherd.

My Thoughts:
This is a good episode. The one doctor I do not like in this series (Alex) ends up with his foot in his mouth. Hopefully that will teach him something and he will change his attitude a bit in the future.

My Rating:

7. The Self-Destruct Button
Meredith and Derek's relationship causes friction with the other interns. George suspects a fellow doctor of drinking on the job but is reluctant to speak up about it. Alex treats a former wrestler from his college days who has turned to self-mutilation. Izzie must deal with a patient who won't let go of his girlfriend - literally, and Cristina worries that what had seemed to be stomach flu might be something else entirely.

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed this one as well. That guy swallowing the key's of his (ex)girlfriend so she couldn't leave is just plain nuts... should have refered him to the psych ward!

My Rating:

8. Save Me
Meredith grows increasingly frustrated with the unknown details of Derek's life. Alex treats a patient whose religious beliefs jeopardize her chances for recovery. Izzie contemplates reconciling with her mother. A pregnant cancer patient disagrees with Cristina's medical advice, and a patient who claims to be psychic mystifies the interns.

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed this one also. It was interesting to see the doctors scrambling to come up with an alternative treatment do to the paitent's religious beliefs. And I kinda got a kick out of the guy that was claiming to be psychic.

My Rating:

9. Who's Zoomin' Who?
An outbreak of a sexually transmitted disease that has affected several members of the hospital staff prompts Chief Webber to call a meeting despite some medical concerns of his own. Izzie and Cristina must deal with a patient's wife and daughter who are at odds over his care. Bruke treats an old friend who is carring a huge surprise, and Meredith and Derek go on their first official date only to get a shocking surprise at the restaurant.

My Thoughts:
This is a good ending to a too short first season. It was funny to see how much the Syphilis outbreak spread through the hospital. But I guess when you work at a place so much like that it is hard to meet anyone outside of work. Even after seeing this series once before I liked the surprise at the end of the episode.

My Rating:
