Planet Terror, a review by addicted2dvd

Planet Terror
'DIRECTOR ROBERT RODRIGUEZ (SIN CITY) IS BACK' with a rip-roaring, zombie-infested rollercoaster of a movie that "sure as hell keeps you hanging on for the ride" (Peter Travers, 'Rolling Stone'). Rose McGowan, Freddy Rodriguez, Bruce Willis, and an all-star cast fight for their lives in the ultimate showdown between an army of flesh-eating mutants and a motley group of rag-tag survivors. Featuring one of the most memorable screen heroines ever and the now legendary mock 'Machete' trailer, "'Planet Terror' is a total blast - funny, gloriously gory and over the top" (Christy Lemire, 'Associated Press').

My Thoughts:
The last time I watched this (just over 1 year ago on 2/9/08) I was less then thrilled with it even though I did get some enjoyment from it. My main problem with it was how they purposely made a new film look like old film stock. Now that I have had plenty time to get used to the style they used on this film I was able to enjoy it much more then I did the last time (I guess this means I should give Death Proof another chance). Sure I have seen better... but this is definitely worth giving a chance... even a second chance if you are like me.  This film has it's share of gore... that is for sure. Some really cringe-worthy stuff in here. Sure there is some over-the-top unbelievable stuff in this one as well... but it fits in this movie. I definitely recommend this one.

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Space: Above and Beyond



What's the show about?
In the year 2063 we see the adventures and the fights of the 58th squadron, the "Wildcards", a United States Marine Corps Space Aviator Cavalry (USMC SAC) squadron. Until the beginning of the show mankind believed to be alone in the universe. But then everything changed and suddenly mankind is at war with a race they call "Chigs". Later it comes out that some of the Earth based companies knew that the Chigs were out there but they were arrogant enough to not to care and they desecrated the Chigs' holy grounds, which probably started the war.

"Pilot"
Humans believe to be alone in the universe. Nathan West was supposed to go on the Tellus mission with his girlfriend Kylen. But he must leave behind, while she goes. Nathan joins the USMC SAC to have a chance to see Kylen again because the USMC also protects the colonies. But then something goes wrong. Both the colony on Vesta and Tellus are attacked and completely destroyed by an alien race. Nathan becomes a hammerhead pilot. His comrade-in-arms have enlisted for several reasons and they are a wild mix, including an InVitro (humans bred in tanks to fight against the A.I.s).

My Opinion
This is a very dark show and that is meant both metaphorically and literally. Too bad it ended in a heavy cliffhanger.
