I decided to check this one out next. This is the first time I ever seen this film. Every since the very first movie I have always wanted to see more on the actual war with the machines. And now we have an entire movie that takes place in that time. I was wondering why the actor that played Kyle Reece in this film looked so familiar to me... turns out he played Charlie in the "Fright Night" remake. As for the movie itself. It is I enjoyed it quite a bit. There was a couple parts of the storyline I didn't care for as much as the rest of the film... but over-all I definitely enjoyed it... especially all the action scenes!

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, a review by addicted2dvd

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
The sleeker, deadlier and seemingly immortal Clown Prince of Crime is back with his own unique brand of havoc and mayhem. While trying to uncover the Joker's secrets, the new Batman, Terry McGinnis, discovers the greatest mystery in the life of the original Caped Crusader: what happened the night he fought the Joker for the last time. When Bruce Wayne is almost killed in one of the Joker's latest attacks, Batman vows to avenge his mentor and put the Joker to rest forever.

My Thoughts:
I thought it would be a good idea to end this movie with the futuristic Batman. I really enjoy the series... as well as this movie. I like how this movie combined the original Batman with the new Batman through flashbacks. I thought how they explained the Return of the Joker was a good and entertaining way to do it. Not only is this a good movie... with a good quality DVD... this release comes with a nice selection of extras.

7. Ghost in the Machine

Guest Stars:
Jerry Hardin as Deep Throat
Rob LaBelle as Brad Wilczek

Blu Mankuma as Claude Peterson
Tom Butler as Drake

My Thoughts:
Another good one! I liked all the things they made happen just from control from a computer. It is another interesting story.  I tell you... a real plus to not watching these episodes in so long... I really don't remember that much about most of them... making even more fun to watch again.

My Rating:
