House 2: The Second Story, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: House 2: The Second Story
Movie Count: 41
TV Ep Count: 15
Time Started: 4:30pm
Plot:
Jesse and his girlfriend inherit a mysterious family mansion and soon discover that his 170-year-old great-great-grandfather has been brought back from the dead by the supernatural powers of an ancient Aztec skull. But when the skull is stolen and Gramps turns into a party animal, Jesse and his friends must travel through time to get it back. Now, with the help of an electrician familiar with alternate dimensions, a sleazy record company executive, automatic weapons, zombie cowboys, a confused caveman and some very odd monsters, this ultimate HOUSE party gets totally out of control!

My Thoughts:
Brittany was now ready to watch some movies... so thought we would start with the "House" movies. I really enjoyed this one a lot... it is hard for me to believe... but I actually think I like this one a little more then I do the first one! I think that is mostly due to the character Gramps. He was just a blast to watch. The only extras on this disc is the Theatrical Trailer and a Commentary Track... which I didn't listen to yet... will save that for another time.

Dachimawa Lee, a review by Tom

Dachimawa Lee

This is our first movie this year at the AsiaFilmFest. A colleague has chosen this one, because he had seen an earlier film by the same director, which he really liked. But on this one, we both agree: It was utter b**sh*t!
The announcer told us, that this movie is some kind of remake of the first amateur movie, the director did. This movie wants to be some kind of spy film parody.
It seems to be the purpose of this movie to have horribly bad over-the-top acting. The director thought it funny, to dub all the voices (even the female ones) with one bad male voice (at least I think it was all the same voice actor). As I understand it, it was to imitate Korean agent movies from the 60s and 70s, but it was simply annoying. I would have thought it okay when they would have done this only with the pre-opening title scene, but this torture lasted two and an half hour. You know the fan videos of guys, who dub over famous movie scenes with their own voice to supposely make a funny scene out of it? This movie is a 2.5 hour version of something like this.

"Due South" marathon, a review by Rick

The Deal
A bit intense I thought. Off character for the series in general. I did enjoy it though. Very much.
