Transformers, a review by goodguy

I don't often feel like writing "real" reviews, so I will put short comments on the DVDs I have watched in this thread. I start with a recap of my August viewage.

Transformers (2007) Directed by: Michael Bay Starring: Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox DVD: R2-DE Paramount (2007) My rating:

Shia LaBeouf reminded me a little of the young John Cusack, Megan Fox looked really hot and can fix cars, the parents (Mitzi from SFU, yeah) were delightful. Come to think of it, the script was in large parts surprisingly charming and funny for an action blockbuster (well, except for the p*ss jokes). Bay has great connections to the military and showed off their stuff well, the machine thingies looked great, but got a bit boring towards the end. All in all, much better than I expected.

Pet Sematary, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: Pet Sematary
Movie Count: 32
TV Ep Count: 13
Time Started: 10am
Plot:
After moving to an idyllic home in the countryside, life seems perfect for the Creed family... but not for long. Louis and Rachel Creed and their two young children settle in to a house that sits next door to a pet cemetery - built on ancient Indian burial ground. Their mysterious new neighbor, Jud Crandall (FRED GWYNNE), hides the cemetery's darkest secret... until a family tragedy brings the secret to life. Now, an unthinkable evil is about to be resurrected.

From STEPHEN KING, the Master of the Macabre, comes a journey that leads to hell and back. Though not everyone survives the trip. For the Creeds, home is where the horror is.

My Thoughts:
Pet Sematary is one of my all-time favorite Stephen King movies. I have seen it countless times... and I still don't tire of it. My favorite scene in this movie is when Gage goes after Fred Gwynne's character, Jud with a scalpel and slices both across his cheeks and across the back of his ankle... both those slices really makes me cringe. This is just an awesome horror movie!

Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

1. Judgment
Original Air Date: 9/26/2000
After a case of mistaken identity leads Angel to slay a demon protecting an innocent girl, karaoke is the only way to make things right. Meanwhile, Angel struggles with the discovery that he may not always be eternal and Darla recovers from her resurrection from Hell.

Guest Stars:
Christian Kane
Stephanie Romanov
Julie Benz
Eliza Dushku

My Thoughts:
Until I seen Lorne (The Host) on the cover I completely forgot about the karaoke bar. Now I am not looking forward to this season as much. The very first scene is Lorne singing a little. Then there was 2 more scenes in the bar through-out the episode. Including Angel singing (badly) Mandy. But other then that... it was a good episode... with some decent action. But I had to laugh at the end of the episode when Angel went to visit Faith in jail. And they were comparing how bad their day was... after listening to Faith say how she was attacked by another inmate with a make-shift knife and how she disarmed her but didn't killer her. Then she was beat by the guards. Angel came back with well I had to sing Barry Manilow... in front of people. We also get our first look at the old hotel that will eventually become the new home base for Angel and his team.

My Rating:
