Tremors 3: Back to Perfection, a review by Jon

Tremors 3: Back to Perfection
2 out of 5

What an unfortunate title. After the sheer, wonderful brilliance of Tremors, the sequel could only be a disappointment, but it was still good fun. This, though, is about as far from "Perfection" as you can get.

Tremors used it's budget to great effect with some brilliant use of gory effects and the next film continued that, but introduced CGi to handle the more ambitious second-stage creatures. Here, it's almost exclusively CGi and it's bloody awful. The film quality deteriorates every time CGi is about to be used! And frankly, the new "ass blaster" form is pathetic. Flying versions of the Shriekers powered by farts? Good grief.

The best parts of the film are those with the original style worm, called El Blanco, a sterile albino worm seemingly very fond of Burt (Michael Gross) and the sequence where he gets eaten was very Men In Black and hilarious! The Shriekers would have been acceptable too, but we never actually see them (apart from a prologue sequence which is just terrible).

It was nice to see several of the original actors returning, especially the kids (including Ariana Richards, who did Jurassic Park between these), but the Burt character was never ideal for lead, especially without Reba McEntire at his side.

A Vampire's Tale, a review by Jimmy

Title : A Vampire's Tale (2004)

Overview
A modern day vampire struggles to find out who he is.

My Impression
First comment does someone is in charge of the quality control at Mills Creek? I hope not, since their overview for this film had nothing to do with it. The real story is : A man had seen his girlfriend killed by a vampire, since than he wants to avenge her by killing the vampire responsible. For this he will recruit a woman recently attack by the same vampire.

Now that this is corrected here we go with the review... Not really original, short in action and the acting is ok without being great. One big problem, at least for me, is the quality of the color in the film itself. The color are all wash out and bland, maybe this is a director choice (more probably the quality of the film stock used was low) but this is boring to watch.

Really nothing special here

Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

18. Double or Nothing
Original Air Date: 4/22/2002
Even as Fred, Cordelia and Angel come to Gunn's aid when a demon arrives to collect his soul, Wesley realizes his actions have cost him his job and his friends at Angel Investigations.

Guest Stars:
Mark Lutz
Jason Carter
Patrick St. Esprit

My Thoughts:
And we have another episode I enjoyed. This one is less on the season long arc and more a stand alone episode. I must admit I got a kick out of what Gunn sold his soul for. I somehow forgot about it since I last watched it.

My Rating:
