Plot:
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to camp... here's even more heart-pounding terror.
Five years after the horrible blood bath at Camp Crystal Lake, all that remains is the legend of Jason Voorhees and his demented mother, who had murdered seven camp counselors. At the nearby summer camp, the new counselors are unconcerned about the warnings to stay away from the infamous site. Carefree, the young people roam the area, not sensing the ominous lurking presence. One by one, they are attacked and brutally slaughtered. Suspense and screams abound in this compelling thriller.
Extras:
- Scene Access
- Closed Captioned
My Thoughts:
The second movie in the series is a good one. This one Jason doesn't have his infamous hockey mask yet. Instead it is a burlap sack. I enjoyed this one just as much as the first... if not a hair better. Once again... some good kill effects here. I especially liked how the guy in the wheelchair was taken out. I also liked how this one ended. Definitely worth the time put in to watch it.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
One of the best, if not the best, war movies. This director's cut brings a perfect balance between action scenes and character moments. The suspension during and in-between the attacks is perfectly portayed.I have visited the set of Das Boot a few times in the past. It is part of the Bavaria Film tour. You are able to walk through the narrow U-Boot, where the cast had to stay in for months of shooting. Early hand-held steady-cams were used for the scenes on-board.

Dead Like Me: The Complete First Season, a review by addicted2dvd
 | Dead Like Me: The Complete First Season You're about to be collected. "Winningly eccentric" (LA Daily News) and "insistently irreverent" (People), this groundbreaking, original series delivers you into a realm of shockingly funny characters and twisted narratives you'll find completely "addictive" (NY Daily News)! When an errant toilet seat from the falling Mir Space Station puts an abrupt end to her life, George (Ellen Muth) discovers that death is nothing like she thought it would be. Recruited to collect the souls of others as they die, she suddenly finds herself an unwilling participant in a line of work she never knew existed: Grim Reaping! Episodes: 01. Pilot 02. Dead Girl Walking 03. Curious George 04. Reapercussions 05. Reaping Havoc 06. My Room 07. Reaper Madness 08. A Cook 09. Sunday Mornings 10. Business Unfinished 11. The Bicycle Thief 12. Nighthawks 13. Vacation 14. Rest In Peace |

My Thoughts:
I just finished watching the entire first season of this show with Brittany. I have seen this show a few times before... though not in several years. But it is the first time Britt has seen it. We both enjoyed it quite a bit. It is a lot of fun. A lot of entertaining dark humor. We have fun guessing on how some of the deaths would occur. As I type this we have already started the second season. Brittany really likes the gravelings.... she said they are like cute little puppy-dogs of death. If by chance this is a show you never seen before both Britt and I would recommend this one.
