Tremors 2 - Aftershocks, a review by Rich

Tremors 2 - Aftershocks



The foul-smelling "Graboids" from the original comedy-science-fiction-thriller return to snack on more people in this long-awaited sequel. The original worm hunter is called out of retirement to save Mexican oil fields from the pesky subterranean critters, but they prove to be a bit tougher this time around.

More fun with the Graboids! But after the excellent opener with Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon, this sequel is majorly disappointing with Earls sidekick unconvincing and a movie bereft of any originality until the worms start evolving (why show them on screen so often though, they lose any mystique). Don't get me wrong, it is still fairly entertaining in a silly way, the cheesy dialogue makes you smile, and the effects reminiscent of a B movie.
Made for video sequel, of mild viewing interest.

I always enjoyed this movie. I like the comedic touch during the fights between Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

There was a short-lived Mr. & Mrs. Smith TV series in the 90s with Scott Bakula and Maria Bello. I hope there will be a DVD release of it some time. Though it has not much in common with this movie, I did enjoy it, when it was on German television at the time.

Charmed Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

Couldn't help myself... had to continue!



1. Charmed Again
Phoebe and Piper grieve Prue's death and struggle with the demise of the Power of Three until they discover the existence of half-sister Paige, a Whitelighter.

My Thoughts:
With Shannen Doherty gone I originally thought that was the end of Charmed. But wow was I surprised to see them really pull it off. I was concerned when I first saw Paige... but at the same time I instantly liked her. It is almost a restart of the series... seeing one of "The Charmed Ones" first learning to use her powers.

2. Hell Hath No Fury
Paige steals the Book of Shadows for personal gain, while Piper's inability to deal with Prue's death makes her vulnerable to demon vigilantes.

My Thoughts:
This was a good episode... I really enjoyed it! Paige makes her first of many mistakes learning to be a witch... and Piper gets turned into a Fury. As I have said in previous post... I like when they get turned into something else. Always makes for a fun episode.

3. Enter The Demon
Paige creates havoc when she mixes potions that switches her body with Phoebe's and must battle evil that has opened a portal between two worlds.

My Thoughts:
Interesting and good episode... but a standard one. Paige makes another mistake. but fortunately the mistake that she makes helps them save the day. How convenient!
