The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion!, a review by addicted2dvd

The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion!
In Reunion!, folks come home to Hazzard and discover a plot to turn Hazzard Swamp into a theme park...leaving the swamp critters high and dry. Before you can say wait a durn minute, the cousins are back in the General Lee, tearing up the roads to stop the nefarious scheme.

My Thoughts:
The Dukes of Hazzard has been a favorite of mine since my childhood! Good Ole Boys... General Lee... and of course Daisy Duke! What more could any all American Red-Blooded country boy ask for? It was so good to see so many of the original cast back for this reunion movie. Unfortunately Sorrel Brooks, who played Boss Hogg, passed away before the making of this movie. But they were sure to do right by his memory in this movie. Back in the '80s and '90s I was huge into Martial Arts movies... since then I have not watch many. But it was cool seeing Cynthia Rothrock... and her talented feet in this movie. Almost makes me want to go out and pick up some of her old martial arts movies. Whatever happen to her anyway?... I haven't seen or heard much of her for a long time now. Unfortuinately there is no extras what so ever on this disc.

Hope Floats, a review by Rich

Hope Floats





Very mushy and over-sentimental, this was like a country and western song on celluloid.
The whole flick came across very false, Connick jr was a poor wooden and cheesy lead, and there was zero chemistry with Bullock who tried hard to pull this film from the grave. The eccentric characters do not gel, and the children just come across as spoilt brats. The humour was absent, the sad points too depressing, and the pace deathly slow. I believe this was Forest Whitaker directing - he should stick to acting.
Typical underdog fights back to find love and happiness storyline that Sandra has appeared too often in, but this is the worst of the bunch and a disappointing vehicle for her acting skills. Unless you are a woman hoping to get teary eyed at some of this movies sad parts, it is unlikely to float your boat.

NCIS Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

9. FORCED ENTRY
A woman shoots a would-be rapist in self-defense, but Gibbs and his team find the woman may have lured the attacker to her home under false pretenses.

My Thoughts:
Definitely a good episode. I like the way it has you thinking one way and then turns it completely around on you. This episode also goes a little extra on the gore. eyeballs on the counter... dead guy missing his eyes. A throat sliced deep and wide. Lots of horific images in this episode.

My Rating:

10. CHAINED
While posing as an escaped prisoner, Tony gets chained to a murderous convict, but the two are soon missing in action.

My Thoughts:
A good... but somewhat standard episode. I enjoyed it, but I wasn't overly impressed with it.

My Rating:

11. BLACK WATER
A Naval officer, missing for two years, turns up in a car at the bottom of a lake. Now the missing persons case looks like murder to Gibbs and the team.

My Thoughts:
This is a good episode. I didn't care much for the detective in this episode... but the story itself is a good one.

My Rating:

12. DOPPRELGANGER
A petty officer's possible murder looks like a hoax to Gibbs and his team, until the petty officer is actually found dead.

My Thoughts:
I liked this one as well... but once again it is pretty standard compared to many episodes.

My Rating:
