My Thoughts:
I decided to start my marathon with a classic. One of the Val Lewton movies I bought this past October. After watching the movie I am a little disappointed that it has nothing to do with ghosts... but it is a good movie. It has some great atmosphere in it. I found that when we heard the mute sailor's thoughts it was quite eerie. It was well done. While I did enjoy this movie quite a bit... I must say that so far it is my least favorite of the Val Lewton movies that I have watched.

I have enjoyed all the previous Resident Evil movies... so I was feeling pretty confident going into this one. And I wasn't disappointed. I really enjoyed this one for what it is. A leave your brain at the door, fun... action packed film with just enough of a touch of horror to keep me a happy camper. It is well worth the time put in to watch it.

My Thoughts:
Second episode... and still on the UFOs and such. Not that it is a bad episode. It is interesting. But the main reason I am doing this is to see the Freak-of-the-week episodes again. As I said... those has always been my favorite episodes. As I said... I do like this episode but not as much as I did the pilot. I did like the light show in the sky in this one though (about 15 min into the episode). I also liked Seth Green as stoner UFO watcher.

My Rating:
