My Thoughts:
This is one of the movies from the cheap 50 movie boxset that I bought this past October. So naturally going into this one I wasn't expecting much from it. It is better then I was expecting. But it does start out pretty slow story wise... and I found myself wanting to dose off more then once. But once I made it to the last half an hour of the movie it picked up for me. I found it to be a bit on the weird side... but it ended pretty strong. I am not sorry I watched it... so that is a plus for a movie in a set like this.

Stars:Plot:
As the city faces the worst heat wave in 150 years, the municipal workers go on strike and the garbage begins to pile up. As it slowly leaks into the street, rats begin to crawl out from under the concrete and the shadows, searching for food. But this is a new, faster breed of rodent, and soon, they are everywhere - creeping out of toilets, into beds and over tables. And if the infestation of fat gray masses isn't terrifying enough, it's soon discovered that the rats are carring a horrible virus, which makes then almost impossible to exterminate - and deadly to humans.

My Thoughts:
This is a movie I got very cheap on sale ($3.19) back in October when I was buying movies for my October Marathon. I never got around to this one at that time. Luckily I didn't pay too much for this one... as I really didn't care too much for this one. It just didn't keep my attention very much. I don't know that it is... but it felt like I was watching a TV Movie. While there was a couple good scenes in it... this movie is so slow that I really struggled to keep my attention on the movie. But it really wasn't meant to be. About an hour into the movie I was so bored I had to turn it off. For those couple good scenes I will give this movie 1 star... but I can't bring myself to do any better then that as it was just too boring.

Veronica Mars Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

1. Welcome Wagon
Campus crime stopper: Veronica solves a classroom murder game in record time, then takes on a case for Wallace's roommate Piz, whose move-in stuff was boosted by a nonexistent Welcome Wagon Committee.

My Thoughts:
This is an excellent start of Veronica Mars: The College years (or year as it ended up )I really enjoyed every minute of this. From before the open credits even come on she shows what she is made of by solving the "mystery" in her criminology class... to the episode mystery that she has to solve. Not to mention an interesting multi-episode arc that we actually got a taste of in season 2.

My Rating:


2. My Big Fat Greek Rush Week
Veronica, a sorority girl? She dons a floral frock to rush Zeta Theta Beta, searching for clues to the identity of the campus rapist. Wallace and Logan are guard and inmate in a disturbing prison experiment.

My Thoughts:
Another really good episode. I liked the side storuy will Wallace and Logan as much as I did the main story of finding out what was going on in the sorority house. And Verronica inches further in the rape cases as well.

My Rating:


3. Wichita Linebacker
Out of bounds. The team playbook "borrowed" by a Hearst College football player goes missing...or gets stolen. And Veronica recommends an unlikely candidate to take her place at Mars Investigations: Weevil.

My Thoughts:
A good episode... though not quite as good as the previous two. I did like how they managed to add Weevil to the college campus. The weekly mystery could have been better... but was entertaining enough.

My Rating:


4. Charlie Don't Surf
It's tough to be a trust-fund baby without the trust fund: Logan thinks his business manager is skimming his inheritance. Dick is suddenly Veronica's bestest pal. And Keith meets a very attractive woman.

My Thoughts:
Much like the one before it... not the best of epiosde... but still entertaining. While it did have the episode mystery it took the back seat to the rapist storyline.

My Rating:
