Shampoo, a review by Rich

Title: Shampoo

Runtime:110
Certificate:R
Year:1975
Genres:Romance, Comedy

Plot:My Review:
Revisit to a film I haven't seen since vhs days.
Goldie Hawn is a guilty pleasure of mine, I know she isn't a great actress but I just love her character and find her infectious.
This movie is a sex farce that doesn't fit brilliantly together, but is striking at times and contains some great acting, notably Warren Beatty in his good period, and even more so Lee Grant as Beattys lover. It has aged over the years, but is still an interesting insight into personal relationships and an alternative view of the hippy culture.
Hawn and a young Julie Christie both look tremendous, and raise the marks accordingly.

Slither, a review by Dragonfire

I hadn't really seen many horror movies when this one first came out.  This was not anything like the movies I normally was interested in seeing, but I still wanted to see it....because Nathan Fillion was in it.  This one came out after Firefly and Serenity, so I was already liking Fillion.  I'm glad I ended up seeing the movie because I find it highly entertaining and I love Fillion in it. 

The plot is interesting and I like a little more original than what has been done in other more recent horror movies.  When it came out, most horror was like Saw or Hostel...the type of thing I have no desire at all to watch.  I think of this as more of a monster movie since there the ...alien worm things taking over the town.  The worm things are gross looking and sort of snakelike, but they didn't freak me out like snakes do.  The plot is entertaining, with enough time taken to set things up before all hell breaks loose.  There is violence and things get a bit gory at times.  There is also humor added in through things that characters, usually Bill - the one played by Fillion - say or do.  This isn't a movie for everyone, but I think people that like monster type movies should give it a chance. 



I did post a longer review on Epinions after I first saw the movie.

Plot:
Bring home the complete second season of TV's most exhilarating series! Despite their loss at Regionals, the kids in New Directions are more motivated than ever. And whether it's Will doing a sexy tango with a substitute teacher, Sue joing the Glee Club or everyone catching Bieber fever, the excitement at William McKinley High School is keeping everyone on their toes. With more incredible musical numbers, hugely popular guest stars like John Stamos, Carol Burnett and Kristen Chenoweth, and lots of behind-the-scenes special features, Glee Season 2 hits all the right notes.

A good start into a new season.
This is also the beginning of the traditional recap of the previous season where Glee pokes a little fun at itself. They mention some stuff in character which the audiences where complaining about the season before. Like Will's rapping and song choices. There also some new characters. I think Shanon Beiste, the new football coach, is a great addition.

Finn-competent:
Finn gets kicked from the football team and now tries out for the cheerleading team, because he needs something to keep him in the popular crowd. Besides that he cannot dance to save his life, he is bracking about his (non-existing) leadership skills.

Tina-Watch:
Over the summer, Tina broke up with Artie and is dating Mike now. This dooms here character to being Mike's girlfriend instead of a character of her own. And Mike is only a secondary character who only had a few lines in the first season.

Notable songs:
I enjoyed the songs in this episode. I liked "Telephone", sung by Rachel and Sunshine (an exchange student), best:
