The sequel to Johnny Tsunami. This one starts out a bit on the slow side... so the first quarter of the film I wasn't sure how much I was going to enjoy it. But as the story went on and more of the extreme sports was shown the more I got into it. Turned out it had a very good story and a lot of fun to watch. Found myself wishing I could try some of the things in this film... but I know full well at my age my body just couldn't take it... I would end up killing myself.

Creepshow, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: Creepshow
Movie Count: 59
TV Ep Count: 17
Time Started: 4:45am
Plot:
Two macabre masters - writer Stephen King and director George A. Romero - conjure up five shocking yarns, each a virtuoso exercise in ghouls-and-gags style of classic 50's horror comics. A murdered man emerges from the grave for Father's Day cake. A meteor's ooze makes everything... grow. A professor selects his wife as a snack for a crated creature. A scheming husband plants two lovers up to their necks in terror. A malevolent millionaire with an insect phobia becomes the prey of a cockroach army. Add the spirited performances of a fine cast (Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, Leslie Nielsen, Ted Danson, E.G. Marshal and King himself) and the ghoulish makeup wizardry of Tom Savini. Let the 'Creepshow' begin!

My Thoughts:
This is one of my favorite anthology movies. I think my favorite segment was the one where "A scheming husband plants two lovers up to their necks in terror."... this was the one where Leslie Neilson buried the couple to their necks in the sand on the beach... waiting for the high tide to come.  That one then followed closely by the "crated creature" Fluffy.  But of course I enjoyed all the segments.

"Due South" marathon, a review by Rick

Pizzas And Promises

My least favorite episode so far. Not sure why. It just didn't really grab me. I did like the dilemma Fraser got himself into at the beginning with Diefenbaker, telling him to follow the car, then pointing out he will follow it till he catches it or his dies.
