Prison of the Dead, a review by addicted2dvd

Prison of the Dead


My Thoughts:
This is another one that my friend sent me. She said she didn't care much for this one. So I went into it with low expectations. But... even with low expectations I have to admit... I wasn't sure I would get through this one. I have to admit... I am not sure I really understood the whole thing... of course I am not sure understanding it better would help anyway in this case. The dead in it was laughable the costumes/makeup was so bad. The special effects/gore was limited and what was shown was really low budget. Definitely a sub-par movie... not one I would recommend to anyone.

Plot:Extras:

• Scene Access
• Feature Trailers
• Closed Captioned

This is one of several Westerns I just recently got in a package of free DVDs. I got a kick out of the gimmick they used on this movie. Having real life brothers playing the various brother characters. I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. It has a good mixture of action as well as storytelling. There were a few scenes that are slower then I normally care for... but this didn't take away from the story for me at all. I would have liked to seen a few more extras on this release... as it only has the theatrical trailer. But the movie is definitely worth it all the same.

Grey's Anatomy Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

6. Into You Like a Train
A catastrophic train wreck floods Seattle Grace with victims while Izzie is forced to choose between friendship and career advancement. Alex questions his choice of profession as the outcome of Derek and Meredith's relationship is revealed.

My Thoughts:
This is an excellent episode. Extremely powerful and emotional. The ER was flooded with casulties from the train wreak... including 2 people that was skewered together when a pole shot through them. Definitely one of my favorite episodes of the first 2 seasons... and wouldn't be surprised if it made it into my favorites for the entire series once I do get caught up.

My Rating:

7. Something to Talk About


My Thoughts:
A good... but somewhat standard episode. I mean it was entertaining enough... but just not as exciting as I thought it could have been. The pregnant male thing while entertaining just could have been done a lot better.

My Rating:

8. Let it Be
George tries to figure out why a fall survivor isn't happy about living after plunging five stories and an elderly man makes a heartbreaking decision. Derek and Addison spar over the visit of longtime friends seeking a radical surgery.

My Thoughts:
This one is really just another standard episode that not much exciting happens. While it is worth watching... don't expect too much from it.

My Rating:

9. Thanks for the Memories
Thanksgiving arrives at Seattle Grace, as George endures another year of O'Malley family tradition while Meredith tends to a coma patient awake after 16 years.

My Thoughts:
This is a fun episode. It is of course Thanksgiving so it is definitely a bit different then what you normally expect. Not surprisingly most the interns ends back at the hospital... but for me the most entertaining reason is George. He is out hunting turkey with his father and two brothers... and his brother accidentally shoots their father in the ass.

My Rating:

10. Much too Much
A one-night stand comes back to haunt Meredith when the man shows up needing odd medical help; Izzie is frustrated by Alex's faults and a women bearing quintuplets is confused by the chaos surrounding her high-risk pregnancy.

My Thoughts:
This episode was really good... I liked the whole quintuplets storyline... which if I remember correctly continues on into the next 1 or 2 episodes. Alex really messed up with Izzie... which I am ok with since I didn't like them two together anyway.

My Rating:
