Night of the Demons 2, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: Night of the Demons 2
Movie Count: 72
TV Ep Count: 35
Other  Count: 2
Time Started: 10am
Plot:
For years, Hull House has sat in eerie silence - tales of its haunted past have turned into gory jokes - and no one really believes anything ever happened. But a special anniversary date is approaching...and, unknown to the local high school students, a horrorfest is in the works.

While most of the students at St. Rita's high school are excited about the "official" Halloween dance, Shirley Fennerty intends to party elsewhere. She and her rebellious cohorts are planning a wilder party at the abandoned "haunted" mansion.

They want fun...now they're in for the hell-raising party of their lives!

My Thoughts:
This one was not as good as the first movie... but I was still able to enjoy it. I think this one was a little more cheesy then the first... and it threw in a few more laughs... so it is more of a fun watch then anything else.  The first half of the movie was little more then just T&A. Not that I am complaining mind you... but I can see how it could loose viewers that don't like gratuitous nudity. Of course the demonic fun comes once a car full of students slip away and have their own Halloween party at Hull House. Over-all I would say this is an enjoyable movie... I am glad I added it to my collection. And would recommend it to most other horror fans... but if you are not into the cheesy horror then you should skip this one.

Ice Age, a review by Critter

Ice Age



Year: 2002

Director(s): Chris Wedge

Run Time: 81  minutes

Plot: Set during the Ice Age, a sabertooth tiger, a sloth, and a wooly mammoth find a lost human infant, and they try to return him to his tribe.

Cast: DVD Extras:My Thoughts
A great family animated film for me is one that I can watch now as a 19 year old and enjoy it just as much as I did while I was a child. Ice AgeToy Story, which was made years before it still looks fantastic today. The story itself is quite sweet but the humour strewn throughout the film I hardly find funny at all now, in fact I almost find it more of a turn off if anything. I have not seen the sequels for this film, although I will probably check them out for this marathon to see if the films improve at all. Overall this is a great film for younger kids but not something I will go out of my way to watch again.

Currently I am reading the manga series as it comes out in the US.
Of course I was interested to see the anime adaption. So far it looks good. I have heard that the first season is great, but the general opinion on the second season is not so good. I am curious to see the rest, so I will probably finish off this set before continuing with this marathon.
