My Thoughts: This morning I found myself in the mood for some Harry Potter. Before now all I ever seen is (I believe) the first 2 films in the series... even though I own the first 6 films. Still need to add the last 2 to my collection. Hopefully I will be able to do that before too long. Anyway... back to this film... I found this one to be a good start to the series. It does a good job at introducing all the characters and has an interesting storyline. The film, while a bit on the long side at just over 2 and a half hours, don't feel long at all. It seemed to be over before I knew it. Definitely worth the watch.... looking forward to the next film in the series.My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (From What Movies I Been Watching on August 2nd, 2013) Penny Dreadful, a review by addicted2dvd![]() Title: Penny Dreadful Movie Count: 39 TV Ep Count: 15 Time Started: 10am Plot: A young woman traumatized by a childhood auto accident crosses paths with a mysterious hitchhiker who preys upon her worst fears. My Thoughts: This one was a blind buy... but so far I really enjoyed most of the After Dark Horrorfest releases... and the trailer looked really good... so I wasn't too concerned with not liking it when I ordered it. I did enjoy it... was a pretty good movie... but it definitely not one of my favorites of the After Dark Horrorfest releases. It was good... but it also felt a little limited since the majority of the movie had to take place in a crashed car. But it is definitely worth at least a rental... and maybe pick yourself up a copy if you can find it cheap.

Plot: It's the cozy Boston bar where everybody knows your name ... welcome to Cheers -Cheers: The Complete First Season, you'll find all 22 complete, uncut episodes of the show's premiere season and see how this milestone TV comedy series began. Former pro baseball player Sam "Mayday" Malone (Ted Danson) enjoys a playboy lifestyle as the proprietor of the neighborhood hangout, assisted by his befuddled bartender, Coach (Nicholas Colasanto), and his surly waitress, Carla (Rhea Perlman). Cheers also has Norm (George Wendt) and Cliff (John Ratzenberger) - two of the funniest barflies you'll ever encounter. And completing the show's ensemble cast is Shelley Long as Diane Chambers, a teaching assistant who suddenly finds herself jilted, jobless - and hired as Sam's newest waitress! A hearty round of laughs is served up in each episode of TV's classic comedy hit...Cheers!

It ran on German TV around 1996 weekdays at half past midnight and I made a point to record it every night to watch it after school. My favourite characters are Norm and Cliff.
