Title: Cabin Fever 2 Year: 2009 Director: Ti West Rating: R Length: 86 Min.

Stars:
Alexi Wasser

Judah Friedlander
Larry Fessenden

Plot:
Days after a killer virus consumed his friends, Paul emerges from a ditch by a river. Though his body has been ravaged by the virus, Paul is determined to survive - and to warn others of the danger. But a water bottling plant has already distributed contaminated water to the local high school. The school's students are excitedly preparing for the prom - unaware they're about to have a grisly date with death.

My Thoughts:
This one I watched on FearNET On-Demand. I really enjoyed the first Cabin Fever... but this one not so much. I am glad I watched this one on TV... as I do not see myself wanting to watch it again. The acting is bad... some of the effects are ok... but for the most part it was just projectile vomiting of blood and other garbage like that. I don't think I will bother adding this one to my collection.

On a side note. I remember now why I don't watch FearNET On-Demand as much as you would think. At all times there is a watermark of their channel in the lower right corner of the screen. That alone while aggravating... I can forgive. But the off and on through-out the entire movie they have little pop-up adds for other movies and such that take up most of the bottom of the screen. I realize this is considered a free channel... but I rather put up with commercial breaks over that garbage. If you are going to show a movie... don't paste crap over top the picture!

The Changeling, a review by addicted2dvd

Plot:My Thoughts:
This is another I bought blind for this marathon. I bought it because I have had several friends rave about this movie for quite a while... and finally decided to take a chance on it. Unfortunately I think my expectations was a bit too high on this one. Even thought this is a good haunted house movie... I found it to be only slightly above average. First of all it is a bit slow for my taste... plus it seems that even though they did try hard with the atmosphere of the movie... for me at least... they fell a bit short. I did however enjoy the scenes with the wheelchair in the attic.

Veronica Mars Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

9. Spit & Eggs
The coaster isn't clear: A coaster treated with a date-rape drug indicator leads Veronica to the campus rapist. Logan makes a decision about his relationship with Veronica. And Dean O'Dell discovers his wife's infidelity.

My Thoughts:
What an episode! An excellent conclusion to the rapist storyline... and the start of the next multi-episode mystery. I loved every minute of this one!

My Rating:

10. Show Me the Monkey
O'Dell's "suicide" may be patterned after the murder Veronica devised for her criminology class. And Mac is attracted to the leader of a campus animal rights group accused of nabbing a lab monkey.

My Thoughts:
A good episode. Though I got to say... I never cared much for Logan. And I especially never cared for him with Veronica. in this season I always wanted her to get with Piz. In this episode.... so close yet so far.

My Rating:


11. Poughkeepsie, Tramps and Thieves
Comic-Con, prime spot for babe action! Max asks Veronica to find his one-night-stand soul mate, a 'Battlestar Galactica' fan who turns out to be a hooker. Meanwhile, Keith follows up on Dean O'Dell's death.

My Thoughts:
A pretty good episode... though not one of my favorites. Going nuts over a hooker you didn't know was a hooker is one thing. But after you find out... going to the extremes this guy did is just unbelievable.

My Rating:

12. There's Got to Be a Morning After Pill
Someone slips Tim's squeeze (who's also Dick's squeeze) RU486 to make her miscarry a baby she didn't want to lose. Can Veronica discover the who and the how? Her investigation crosses paths with the O'Dell case.

My Thoughts:
This is another episode I liked quite a bit. It ha a good weekly mystery. And I must say I had to laugh when Keith and Veronica Mars went undercover together... and they said their names were Carson Drew and his assistant Nancy. For those that don't know... Carson is the name of Nancy Drew's father.

My Rating:
