Hostel Part II, a review by addicted2dvd

Hostel Part II
Presented by Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill, Vol. 1 & 2) and written and directed by Eli Roth (Hostel, Cabin Fever), HOSTEL PART II is the shocking and gruesome sequel of the underground torture ring where rich businessmen pay to torture and murder their victims.

The second installment to this terrifying franchise centers around three young American women (Lauren German, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Bijou Phillips, Bully and Heather Matarazzo, Welcome to the Dollhouse) who are studying in Rome. They are lured into a hostel by a beautiful young woman who sells them as the next victims of a murder-for-profit business.

My Thoughts:
This is another movie I got for an early Christmas present. I got this from the same friend that gave me the first part when she cleaned out here DVD collection a little. I really enjoyed the first one... even though was a very shocking style of a gore-fest. This one definitely still has the gore... a little less on the shock value on this one. Although there was definitely a cringe-worthy part towards the end... a scene that I will not soon forget. But this one adds a little something the last one did not. That is showing more about the "Hunters Club"... for their bidding on the girls to actually having them in the rooms. I really enjoyed the fact that it wasn't just the first part over again... only with girls. That is a sign of a good sequel... and I am looking forward to watching this one again along with part one sometime in the future.

After "Tangled" I am in a Disney princess movies mood. So I watched Little Mermaid again. I always enjoyed this movie. I especially enjoy the songs in this one. These are among the most memorable of the Disney songs.

NCIS Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

5. SWITCH
A murdered petty officer is discovered by the NCIS team to have been leading a double lifer but the man's dying message leads Gibbs and his crew in an entirely different direction.

My Thoughts:
A good... but somewhat standard episode. Feels like a basic filler episode.

My Rating:

6. THE VOYEUR'S WEB
A woman appears to be murdered live on an Internet sex site. Gibbs and his team track down the webmaster and follow the money in order to find the killer.

My Thoughts:
This one is pretty good. I get a kick how Abbey handles having to work with a new assistant.

My Rating:

7. HONOR CODE
In what may or may not be a hoax, a 6-year-old boy informs NCIS that his father, a lieutenant commander who holds the only code to a top-secret program, has been kidnapped.

My Thoughts:
This one is an excellent episode. I really liked the little kid in it. The kid did a great job. I got a chuckle out of Abbey telling gibbs that the kid is like a mini-Gibbs.

My Rating:

8. UNDER COVERS
Tony (Michael Weatherly) and Ziva assume the identities of two murdered assassins and engage in a sexy undercover mission in a lavish hotel suite in order to find who hired the killers.

My Thoughts:
Another episode I liked quite a bit. Ziva and Tony really has some great chemistry together.

My Rating:
