Cabin in the Woods, a review by addicted2dvd
Stars: Sigourney Weaver as The Director Kristen Connolly as Dana Chris Hemsworth as Curt Anna Hutchison as Jules Fran Kranz as Marty Jesse Williams as Holden Plot: A rambunctious group of five college friends steal away for a weekend of debauchery in an isolated country cabin, only to be attacked by horrific supernatural creatures in a night of endless terror and bloodshed. Sound familiar? Just wait. As the teens begin to exhibit standard horror-movie behavior, a group of technicians in a control room are scrutinizing, and sometimes even controlling, every move the terrified kids make! With their efforts continually thwarted by an all-powerful "eye in the sky," do they have any chance of escape? Extras:
My Thoughts: Watched this one today... I seen this once before during last year's Ocober marathon. I enjoyed it just as much this time as I did last time. I found it to just be a fun film with a nice amount of gore and lots of creatures. Definitely worth the time put in to watch it. My Rating: ![]() Scorecard: TV Eps: 6 Movies: 4 (From Month Long Horror/Halloween Marathon on October 3rd, 2014) The Lost World: Jurassic Park, a review by Tom![]() Title: The Lost World: Jurassic Park Year: 1997 Director: Steven Spielberg Rating: FSK-12 Length: 123 Min.

Although the action/visual effects are great, there is something missing in the movie. I have the feeling that it tries to be more than it really is. The last 15 minutes makes me want to revisit the American Godzilla movie soon. Rating: ![]() (From Tom's Random Reviews on December 15th, 2008) Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Marathon, a review by DJ DoenaDisc 5 Playing God ![]() My Opinion: The candidate had no real plans for the future and I have already forgotten most things about the character. The only interesting thing were some insights into Jadzia's training who ironically also was evaluated by Curzon - and failed. Profit and Loss ![]() My Opinion: This episode on the other hand was very interesting. Quark has broken out of his usual deceiving scheme plotting and has shown real affection towards a person/a woman. Strangely though, Quark always seems to be most interested in non-Ferengi and clothed(!) women, most of them being stronger than him, too. I wonder what he would think about Buffy - ah, yes, I remember, he expelled her from Sunnydale High. ![]() Blood Oath ![]() My Opinion: This is one episode I've been waiting for. I always thought that it was a great idea to bring the three klingon commanders Kirk faced in the original series once again on screen. While I didn't care much for the Klingons - or any other alien race except the Vulcans - in the original series, the Klingons have grown on me during TNG and especially DS9. Ironically Jadzia now had the very same problem Worf always had when he took off to do something very klingon-y and very un-Starfleet-y. But at least Kor survived and we will see him again. The Maquis, Part I ![]() My Opinion: As always when borders are moved some people are waking up on the wrong side of the fence. But to start a shooting war against a vastly superior enemy is stupid at best. And they aren't risking just their lives and those of their families. If they manage to start another full blown war, then billions of other lives get endangered, too. Do I sound like someone who hasn't much sympathy for the Maquis? Then you heard right.
