Extras: Deleted Scenes Featurettes Interviews Scene Access My Thoughts: I really like the first half of this movie. Great introductions of the characters. But as with the first time I have watched it in the cinema, I felt it lost something from the moment "Kevin" appears. And then shortly after with all the talking dogs. It's a little too ridiculous even for a movie where a house flies with balloons. But still the second half is worth watching. Some great action scenes, which were even better in 3D.Rating: (From Tom's Random Reviews on June 26th, 2010) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (remake), a review by RichTitle: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Movie Count:20 TV Ep. Count:14 Runtime:98 Certificate:R Year:2003 Genres:Horror Plot:Prepare yourself for a level of fear like you've never experienced before... A group of friends takes a detour while traveling through the back roads of Texas and encounter a chainsaw-wielding maniac. What happens next is beyond anyone's darkest imagination and will leave you speechless and horrified. From filmmaker Michael Bay (Pearl Harbor, Bad Boys II) and starring Jessica Biel ("7th Heaven") comes this year's most hardcore and terrifying film. You've been warned. My Review: Questionable remake of a classic horror, no ground-breaking additions to the original save Jessica Biel in skimpy attire. There are certainly improvements (just) on the originals wooden acting of teenage bait, and Ermey is spot on as twisted sherriff Hoyt. The effects are more realistic and dramatic, with a couple of gorefest moments and old leatherface really going to town with his chainsaw. However the 'shock' value of the original, even with its many flaws when compared to modern day filmmaking etc, cannot be matched. Too far away from the original for my taste, and the improvements have been at the expense of plot, so I would recommend passing this by. My Rating Out of a Possible 5 (From Rich's October Horror Fest on October 19th, 2009) Sliders Marathon, a review by addicted2dvdSeason 4: Disc 1 1. GENESIS Home isn't necessarily where the heart is when Quinn and Maggie discover the Earth Prime has been taken over by warrior Kromaggs in their absence. My Thoughts: While I normally don't care for the ongoing Kromagg storyline... this is a very good episode. Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to Wade in this season. One of my favorite characters. My Rating: 2. PROPHETS AND LOSS The Sliders jump to the scary side of organized religion when they land in an eerily peaceful Los Angeles ruled by an oracle the sends people to "the Other Side." My Thoughts: This is a pretty good episode. Though they used this "help the rebels" part of the storyline on more then one occasion before. So that took away from it a little for me. Though I did like the rest of the storyline. My Rating: 3. COMMON GROUND The Sliders land in a world where the Kromaggs conduct ruthless experiments on humans, but trusting a Kromagg commander may be their only way out. My Thoughts: This is one of the several Kromagg related episodes... and one of the several I didn't care much for. I found it pretty slow and boring actually. My Rating: 4. VIRTUAL SLIDE Maggie's sanity is a danger when she's captured by a greedy businessman who uses virtual reality scenarios to try to get her to reveal the secret to sliding. My Thoughts: Not a bad episode... but pretty much average. At least this one don't have any Kromaggs in it. My Rating: (From Sliders Marathon on November 29th, 2009) |
