House of Wax (1953)


My Thoughts:
Now this one I really enjoyed. Big plus here... Vincent Price is in this movie. It felt like the film really caught a stride and never stopped till it was over. No slow/boring parts here for me. Definitely a movie I feel I can recommend.

Friday the 13th - Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, a review by RossRoy

WHAT THEY SAY

The Big Apple's in big trouble, as indestructible psycho-fiend Jason Voorhees hits the road to New York City -- and paints the town "red." After a shocking return from beyond the grave, the diabolical Jason ships out aboard a teen filled "love boat" bound for New York, which he soon transforms into the ultimate voyage of the damned. Then one of his terrified victims escapes into the nightmarish maze of Manhattan's subways and sewers, only to confront Jason one final time.

MY THOUGHTS

The movie was fine. I liked it. Although with the title, I wish they'd have spent more time in NY. I was hoping to see Jason go haywire into NY. What I got is a very single minded killer, going after a very specific bunch of people. But, they're finally doing it. They're showing Jason more. I just wish they hadn't changed the Jason makeup. I wish they had made it a evolution of the previous one, instead to pretty much completely changing it.

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

Grey's Anatomy
Grey's Anatomy is "a winner," raves the New York Daily News. Both a critical hit and fan favorite, season one burst onto the television landscape with gripping plot lines, a sensational soundtrack and hot stars, including Ellen Pompeo, Patrick Dempsey, and Sandra Oh. Now you can experience all the drama, romance and excitement of Grey's Anatomy from the very beginning.

Meet Meredith Grey, a brilliant first-year surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital. Together with her fellow residents in training, Meredith navigates her way through the daily traumas and social landmines of life inside the hospital and out in the real world. Grey's Anatomy is a smart and witty look at young people struggling to be doctors and doctors struggling to stay human.

A Hard Day's Night
Meredith Grey reports for her first day as an intern at Seattle Grace Hospital, only to find that her new boss is Dr. Derek Shepherd, the man she had a one-night stand with the previous evening. As they meet the hospital staff and patients, Meredith and her fellow interns slowly begin to realize exactly what they are up against. They may have been students yesterday, but today they are doctors facing a world where on the job training can be a matter of life and death.

My Thoughts:
Another great medical series. For some reason I just love these shows! This is a good opening to the series. It introduces all the characters nicely. Most all the interns (well except one) is really likable. And what a way to meet your boss! Once again we have a show I really don't want to stop watching after seeing the pilot episode again!

My Rating:
