My Thoughts:

Another Hallmark Channel Movie.This one originally aired November 28th, 2009. While I am sure there is some notable names in this one.... none that I am familiar with. Out of the 4 movie box set I got this in... this is the one I was most concerned about enjoying. While it is a slow paced film... it is one that grew on me. The longer I watched t the more I liked it. So of you try this one, be sure you stick with it.

My Thoughts:
This one is definitely not as good as the first From Dusk Till Dawn movie... it did loose a lot within just one sequel. But at the same time I still enjoyed this movie. I did find it weird how they still wanting to pull the bank robbery even after they are vampires. But it was entertaining enough to make it worth the hour and a half I put into it. Unfortunately this DVD has no extras what so ever... not even any trailers what so ever. Matter of fact... as soon as you pop this disc in it automatically starts the movie. Something I never cared for. I much rather it go to the menu first... as I have a tendency to pop a disc in... and while it is loading go get a drink of water... maybe pop a bag of popcorn or what have you.

My PILOT Marathon, a review by Rich




Title: New Tricks: Series 1

Certificate:M
Year:2003


Plot:Superintendent Sandra Pullman, whose brilliant career is sidelined after a hostage rescue goes disastrously wrong ("you shoot one dog...") has been put in charge of a new department - The Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad (UCOS). However she is soon dismayed to discover that her unit is to be manned by former detectives who have long since hung up their badges.
Pullman's recruits - grieving widower Jack Halford, once her mentor in the murder squad; the compulsive obsessive ex-Inspector Brian Lane and ex-Sergeant Gerry Standing, one of the top thief-takers of his time, who left the force amid rumours of corruption - might have years of experience, but they know little of modern police methods. Can she create a crack team out of this trio of eccentric dinosaurs who are quickly discovering the rules of the game are no longer what they used to be?

Pilot
When Roddy Wringer is released on appeal after serving twenty years for the murder of a nightclub hostess - a crime he always claimed he did not commit - his case gets reinvestigated by UCOS - The Unsolved case squad. The squad is to be made up of some of the best retired officers available
The squad gets headed up by Det Supt Pullman, who is moved after shooting a dog in a hostage rescue gone wrong. With Jack Halford she sets out to build her team and investigate the case.

My Review:
New Tricks began as a one-off episode, first shown in March 2003, which gained enough viewers for a series.
Class
Pure Class
The best way to finish this months pilot marathon, the best of the best saved til last.
Top rating - just buy it.
