Fun Disney film about a family of superheroes with Kurt Russell as the patriarch. Was interesting to see Russell return to the Disney fold where he basically got his start in the biz as a young kid in a plethora of movies in the late 60's early 70's. The movie was ok, but nothing terribly original. Kelly Preston was my hero in that skin tight outfit!!

I talked my daughter into watching this with me and she was out like a light before the trailers preceding the movie were finished.  Gotta teach her stamina now!

Pixar has yet to disappoint me (except maybe "A Bug's Life", but I will have to revisit it again sometime, before I can make a real call on that). The story is funny and has a great love-story in it. The animation is awesome! This is what Blu-ray and HD is made for

Also the two bonus shorts "Presto" and "Burn-E" are great. Especially "Presto".

Sliders Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

21. THE OTHER SLIDE OF DARKNESS
Sliding into a world where a mysterious fog covers half the land, the Sliders find Rickman and the Quinn that, in the Pilot episode, taught Quinn the mechanics of sliding.

My Thoughts:
While a somewhat weird episode... it is a good one. I did ejoy it. Though it is not the best episode I ever seen. Wade and Maggie is still in the outs at this point.

My Rating:

22. SLITHER
Remmy and Quinn, on a short vacation together, need to get back to Maggie and Wade for the slide, and hitch a ride with a wildlife smuggler. When the plane crashes, Wade and Maggie hook up with the smuggler's partner and go in search of the group.

My Thoughts:
This is another one I didn't care for quite as much as the others. I don't know why... but this one just didn't keep my intrest as much.

My Rating:


23. DINOSLIDE
The Sliders find what's left of the colony from Rickman's world. But Rickman is there, too, claiming more victims, as are the dinosaurs that inhabit this world.

My Thoughts:
This is a good episode. In this one we get an update on the colonists... and have some dinosaur fun as well!

My Rating:

24. STOKER
The Sliders arrive on a world where vampires are real, and where Rickman is up to his old tricks - but refined by access to a blood bank

My Thoughts:
They are vampires... what do you think my thoughts are?... I loved it! But why did they have to make the vampires a rock band? At least while there is some music in the episode... they really didn't over do it.

My Rating:

25. THIS SLIDE OF PARADISE
The sliders land on an island populated by half-human, half-animal hybrids. Rickman is on this world, and has had to resort to using the mixed DNA for his sustenance, resulting in his own animal-like appearance.

My Thoughts:
This is a pretty good conclusion to the season. I know this episode was a rip off of a movie. Though can't think of the name of it especially since I never seen it.  But what really got me was the season end cliffhanger that really got me wanting to start the next season.

My Rating:
