Lakeview Terrace, a review by addicted2dvd

Lakeview Terrace
A young couple (Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington) has just moved into their California dream home when they become the target of their next-door neighbor, who disapproves of their relationship. A stern, single father, this tightly wound LAPD officer (Samuel L. Jackson) has appointed himself the watchdog of the neighborhood. His nightly foot patrols and overly watchful eyes bring comfort to some, but he becomes increasingly aggressive to the newlyweds. These persistent intrusions into their lives cause the couple to fight back.

Stars:
Kerry Washington
Samuel L. Jackson
Jay Hernandez
Patrick Wilson

My Thoughts:
This one I watched on Starz On-Demand. It is one I enjoyed quite a bit. I did find the beginning a little slow but that is to be expected with this story line. And it really does work for it. Samuel L. Jackson done a great job as always. I am definitely planning on adding this one to my collection.

Primal Rage, a review by Jimmy

Title : Primal Rage (1988)

Overview
This blood-soaked, stomach-churningly gory Italian horror outing is set on a college campus in Miami and chronicles the grisly aftermath that occurs when a student is bitten by a lab animal and turns into a voracious, man-killing beast! Will the fun loving campus in Florida turn into a blood bath? Will the campus concert turn into a massacre of the macabre?

My Impression
It's an italian movie so we know what to expect, a lot of blood and nice make-up effect. Right from the start we see that it will deal with medical experiment done with monkey lab and we know that it isn't a thing who usually end well. Of course it won't since the monkey escapes and the virus it carry with him... Well done movie where the students look loke student (wich is sure a rare thing in movies), as expected the special effects are well done and it doesn't silly since the film was made in english so it isn't dub. Wich doesn't mean that the acting is great in any ways (a lot of overacting and bad acting, but it goes with the territory) and check for a young Sarah Buxton who is quite hot in this (at least at the beginning ). This film sure had the most annoying theme song ever written and to make it even worst the song play three times...

Another good one.

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

Dead Like Me
You're about to be collected. "Winningly eccentric" (LA Daily News) and "insistently irreverent" (People), this groundbreaking, original series delivers you into a realm of shockingly funny characters and twisted narratives you'll find completely "addictive" (NY Daily News)!

When an errant toilet seat from the falling Mir Space Station puts an abrupt end to her life, George (Ellen Muth) discovers that death is nothing like she thought it would be. Recruited to collect the souls of others as they die, she suddenly finds herself an unwilling participant in a line of work she never knew existed: Grim Reaping!

Pilot
When smart, cynical, 18-year-old George is crushed to death by an errant toilet seat from space, she joins the ranks of an undead group of grim reapers. As she clumsily learns to adjust to her new role in the afterlife, George haphazardly hurtles toward her first dreaded assignment: to collect the soul of a little girl.

My Thoughts:
Wow... what to say about this one... it is just a fun dark comedy. I loved every minute of it. Of course I really get a kick out of how George (for those that haven't seen this show...in this case George is a girl) joins the ranks of the Reapers. Other then the good story I also enjoy how they did the gravelings. Another thing I like about this series is how they portray the dead going into the light. The light forms into something fun/important to the person that died... and it draws them to it. I definitely recommend this series if you never seen it.

My Rating:
