Dick Tracy, a review by addicted2dvd

Dick Tracy
Dick is faced with a series of brutal murders in which the victims, all from different social and economic backgrounds, are viciously slashed to pieces. Suspects abound but Tracy, getting a clue that there will be fifteen murders in all, must find the common thread among the victims before more are killed.

My Thoughts:
I picked this one next because I have... and enjoyed the Dick Tracy Movie Serial. I thought this was a good show. I did enjoy it... but it wasn't anything that stuck out as especially good to the point where I would bother replacing this copy. I have to say... I am fairly impressed with the transfer of this one. No... it is not great... far from it actually... but considering the age of the movie... the fact it is in the public domain and the fact that this set was free... it looked pretty good. There was only a few spots where there was any scratches/dust on the film... and a couple spots looked a little light and faded... other then that they did a great job.

I really liked the first half hour or so. The introduction of typical Bond villains (who were obviously the template for Dr. Evil (Blofeld) and Frau Farbisina). Also always fun the scenes with Bond, M and Moneypenny. And now also with Q
But then the movie dragged a little for me, beginning with the train ride. But it picked up again towards the end.

"Due South" marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

Starman
This episode I have mixed feelings about. I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the previous episode. But it was still pretty good. Some of it was pretty out there... and some of the attempts at humor didn't work for me. But over all not a basic average episode I guess.

My Rating:
