Conan: The Barbarian, a review by addicted2dvd
Stars: Jason Momoa as Conan Stephen Lang as Khalar Zym Rachel Nichols as Tamara Ron Perlman as Corin Rose McGowan as Marique Bob Sapp as Ukafa Plot: A quest that begins as a personal vendetta for the fierce Cimmerian warrior soon turns into an epic battle against hulking rivals, horrific monsters, and impossible odds, as Conan realizes he is the only hope of saving the great nations of Hyboria from an encroaching reign of supernatural evil. Extras:
My Thoughts: This is the second time I got to see this film. The first time I borrowed the DVD from the library shortly before leaving Maryland. Now I watched my own copy on Blu-ray. I thought they did a very good job on this one. Lots of great action... and I really liked Rose McGowan in this film. Loved her finger knives. Though she did look a little freaky in it... but freaky in a cool way. The one problem I do have about this Blu-ray is that there is no real extras on the disc... there was several things on the DVD... it is so weird there being more extras on the DVD then the Blu-ray. My Rating: (From The Alphabet Marathon: Blu-ray Edition on July 21st, 2014) Parent Trap III, a review by addicted2dvdTitle: Parent Trap III Year: 1989 Director: Mollie Miller Stars: Hayley Mills Barry Bostwick Ray Baker Patricia Richardson Christopher Gartin Plot: Triplets, Megan, Jessie and Lisa Wyatt have all returned from their summer vacations to discover that their father Jeffrey is getting married to snob Cassie McGuire. When Cassie hires decorator Susan Ever to redecorate their home, the triplets believe Susan is the right woman for their father. The planning begins. My Thoughts: After enjoying that DVD set I bought recently with the first two movies in it. I was happy to find this one to watch online. I don't know what it is about these Parent Trap movies.... but I really been enjoying them! If this one was ever to make it onto DVD I would definitely add it to my collection. I liked that this one had (real) triplets in it. It also has the familiar faces of Barry Bostwick (Spin City) and Patricia Richardson (Home Improvement). I was also happy to see that the face that started it all... Hayley Mills... came back for this one as well. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 (From Weekend Movie Marathon: Anything Goes on July 24th, 2010) Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvdThe Adventures of Aquaman Menace of the Black Manta/The Rampaging Reptile Men When fiendish foes and marine menaces threaten the peaceful undersea world of the lost city of Atlantis, Aquaman, King of the Seven Seas, dives to the rescue! Aided by teen hero Aqualad and their aquatic frieds Tusky the walrus and sea horses Storm and Imp, these brave water warriors battle astonishing creatures like Volcanic Monster, Ice Dragon and Devil Fish. Using his superior strength, cunning wit and telepathic communications abilities, Aquaman faces evil villains like Black Manta and Vassa, Queen of the Mermen to fight for justice on the ocean floor. Plunge into this two-disc collector's edition featuring all 36 action-packed cartoons from the fantastic TV series in original airdate order! My Thoughts: Now this one is a blast from my past. It is one of the many superhero cartoons I used to watch when I was a kid. Even though it wasn't ever one of my favorites I did enjoy it. Each episode has 2 short stories... I enjoyed the first story with the Black Manta a little more then the second story. This series has the more clean cut version of Aquaman that I am so used to. I really don't like the look of the current version where he has a long beard and hook for a hand. It is just not the Aquaman I know... this one is. This series was coupled with a Superman cartoon which unfortunately I do not have on DVD. My Rating: (From Pete's Pilots on October 27th, 2009) |
