American Dreamz, a review by addicted2comics

The Plot: The new season of "American Dreamz," the wildly popular television singing contest, has captured the country's attention, as the competition looks to be between a young Midwestern gal (Moore) and a showtunes-loving young man from Orange County (Golzari). Recently awakened President Staton (Quaid) even wants in on the craze, as he signs up for the potential explosive season finale.

My Thoughts: Ummm......pretty bizarre for a singing show. At first I was inclined to make dad watch this with me, but there's not much singing at all.


That's Crazy!!!!!

Still, I think it could have been better. Maybe if it were more of a comedy? Idk, just another one that's not my taste, yet still very entertaining.....and a little weird.......

The Burning, a review by Rich

Title: The Burning

Movie Count:14 
TV Ep. Count:8 

Runtime:91
Certificate:R
Year:1981
Genres:Horror

Plot:A group of summer camp pranksters got the scare of their lives when they target the camp's creepy caretaker...and he takes bloody revenge ! "Gruesome" (The Hollywood Reporter) and "stomach churning" (Boxoffice), this terrifying tale is "a brilliant slasher flick [and] gory as hell!" (slasherpool.com)
After a cruel joke goes awry, severly burning him and subjecting him to five years of intensive, unsuccessful skin graft treatments, Cropsy (Lou David) is back at camp...and ready to wreak havoc on those who scarred him! With his hedge clippers in hand, he terrorizes the camp and systematically mutilates each victim. Can a few courageous campres save themself and destroy this demented madman before he kills them all?

My Review:
Funny 80's B movie slasher film, full of nubile young teen girls with perky tits, and jocks and geeks chasing them
Caretaker turns killer with shears and scissors following a prank gone wrong, and he slowly one by one murders his way through the camps guests. Plenty of ketchup and fleshy close-ups, but the gore does not make up for some fairly inept direction and a dot to dot obvious and boring storyline.
Interesting to see young Holly Hunter, Jason Alexander and Fisher Stevens on show.
This would fit nicely into Jimmys current marathon.

Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis, a review by addicted2dvd

Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis (1950/United States) IMDb | Wikipedia Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis made their television debut on Ed Sullivan's Toast of the Town in June 1948. They were, in many respects, the perfect comedy team. Martin's good looks and smooth baritone balanced Lewis' impishness and frantic comedy. They appeared for six seasons, on a rotating basis on the Colgate Comedy Hour, WITH SPECIAL GUEST ROSEMARY CLOONEYWITH SPECIAL GUEST BURT LANCASTER In this program Dean and Jerry are joined by Burt Lancaster. Dean sings and Jerry clowns as only they can and Burt Lancaster is an escapee from an insane asylum.

I felt like a little classic television so I decided to pop in one of my Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis Show DVDs. This show was also known as The Colgate Comedy Hour. And it definitely had some laughs in it. But it also has quite a bit of music in it as well. A little too much for my taste. But that is ok... because there is enough good comedy in it to still make it worth watching for me. Being on one of those public domain releases I really wasn't expecting much quality wise... but I was pleasantly surprised. There was a few problems here and there... but for the most part it was more then watchable.
