The Princess Bride

I've lost track of how many times I've watched this movie over the years.  I still enjoy it every time I watch it.  It is a fun, entertaining adventure type movie with humor that is told in a unique way.  It is really well done and has held up well.  I do think of the story as a fairytale and it does have a sort of magical feel to it.  There is an interesting group of characters and the cast is wonderful in their parts, even the small parts like Miracle Max and his wife Valerie. 

I had the movie on DVD and I picked up the Blu-ray last year when I found it cheap.  There are several extras on it, but I haven't checked them out yet.

The Princess Bride is a wonderful movie that is definitely worth checking out.

Under Siege, a review by DJ Doena

Director: Andrew Davis

Steven Seagal    ...    Casey Ryback
Tommy Lee Jones   ...    William Stranix
Gary Busey   ...    Cmdr. Krill
Erika Eleniak   ...    Jordan Tate
Colm Meaney   ...    Doumer
Patrick O'Neal   ...    Capt. Adams
Andy Romano   ...    Adm. Bates
Nick Mancuso   ...    Tom Breaker
Glenn Morshower   ...    Ens. Taylor

Synopsis: The destroyer U.S.S. Missouri embarks on its last journey from Pearl Harbor to San Francisco where she will be decommissioned. Manned only with a skeleton crew the crew prepares for the captain's birthday party - including the cook, Casey Ryback. But the party takes an unexpected turn and the ship is suddenly in the hands of mercenaries who want to get their hands on the nuclear warheads from the ship's arsenal. The only people who can stop them is "just a cook" - and a stripper.

My Opinion: I love this movie. I know it's cheesy but Casey and Jordan work very well together and Stranix and Krill are really cool bastards. And then there's of course the jumping-out-of-a-cake scene.
It's a nice action movie but there's one scene that upvalues the movie for me and that is the last scene of the movie where Ryback pays his last respects to the captain - in full dress uniform.

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

9. The Man of Steel Bars (11/21/93)
When Metropolis suffers a freak heat wave in the middle of winter, citizens blame Superman's powers. He decides to leave the city in order to save it...and leaves Lois to investigate the real heat source.

My Thoughts:
A good episode... I got a few chuckles out of seeing Superman being arrested and put into jail. Especially thought the guy picking on (slapping him, pulling on his cape) him in jail and how that ended was fun. We all know when it comes to Superman you have to suspend all disbelief. But sometime that is hard to do. Especially on episodes like this one where Superman and Clark decides to leave Metropolis at the exact same time... yet still no one can put it together.
