The Invasion, a review by Eric

The Invasion




Summary: Something terrifying has come to Earth, something that attacks us while we sleep and turns us into soulless replicants. The clock is ticking as Washington, DC psychiatrist Carol Bennell (Nicole Kidman) and her colleague Ben Driscoll (Daniel Craig) embark on a heart-stopping journey into a nightmarish world where the only way to stay alive is to stay awake. No one can be trusted. No one is safe in producer Joel Silver's bold new take on Jack Finney's classic novel 'The Body Snatchers'.

Don't fall asleep! 'The Invasion' is here.

My Thoughts:   It's a good thriller with a good level of action and rebounds.  The special effects are well done.  The 5.1 mix is also well done, I'm usually not a big fan of 5.1 which I find distracting but in this case they didn't overuse use it or made the rear channels too loud so it doesn't interfere.  I'm glad I bought this movie and I will certainly watch it again one day.

I'm probably gonna get copies of the previous versions soon to watch and compare them.

My Score:

You are cordially invited to fall in love with one of the funniest romantic comedies of the year! It's 1985 and Robbie Hart (Adam Sandler, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison) is the ultimate master of ceremonies... until he is left at the altar at his own wedding. Devastated, he becomes a newlywed's worst nightmare - an entertainer who can do nothing but destroy other people's weddings. It's not until he meets a warm-hearted waitress named Julia (Drew Barrymore, Scream), that he starts to pick up the pieces of his heart. The only problem is Julia's about to have a wedding of her own and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a lifetime, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever.

From big hair to Billy Idol (as himself), The Wedding Singer features a hilarious cast and a platinum soundtrack including 80's hits from CULTURE CLUB, DAVID BOWIE and THE POLICE.

One of my favorite romantic comedies. Strange that this is the first time in six years that I have watched it again. I always loved the songs in this movie. And Drew Barrymore is really cute in this one. This movie and "50 First Dates" have a really good couple in Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. Too bad those two didn't do more movies together.

Smallville Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

EPISODE 20: FADE
Now you see him, now you don't. A hitman who has the power of invisibility decides to help Clark reunite with Lana by making Lex disappear... permanently. Plus: Is the Fine-Lex conspiracy taking shape?

My Thoughts:
This is a good episode... but again one that is nothing very special. Just another basic good episode.

EPISODE 21: ORACLE
He looks like Jonathan. But his message perplexes Clark: Would his father's ghost really send him on a murder mission? Fine obtains the vaccine he seeks. And Kryptonian symbols spell out a warning.

My Thoughts:
This one was good episode... it really set up the season finale well. It was nice to see John Schnider in an episode again.

EPISODE 22: VESSEL
Meet superpowered Lex, the host vessel of ZOD! Clark can stop Zod's vendetta...if he's willing to kill Lex. Lana stands by her man, Fine releases an electronic virus, and Clark - well, see it for yourself.

My Thoughts:
Once again a season of Smallville concludes with a really good cliffhanger episode. I am really looking forward to the season 6 release next month now!
