  This is true! 

[Najemikon]

Oh... uh... you remembered that did you? 

Of course I did... and yes I will watch whatever is sent to me. But it just might take a while.

Now, Pete... when someone sends you a kind gift, you should make the effort to tell them as soon as possible how much you really enjoyed it.

  Yes Jon I know.

I just had a terrible thought. What if (She hasn't told me what yet) the music one is Rocky Horror Picture Show?

I just had a terrible thought. What if (She hasn't told me what yet) the music one is Rocky Horror Picture Show? 

If she didn't.... I have a spare copy

[addicted2dvd]

LOL... I bet you do. And no it is not Rocky Horror Picture Show. She sent me a list of what she is sending me. 25 movies!   

And the music one is... Ray.  What a relief. At least this one is also a biography or sorts as well... I think I could actually get into the storyline of this one... and be able to (for the most part) ignore the music.

Pete, when did you first come to the realisation that you dislike music so much?

[Achim]

Pete, when did you first come to the realisation that you dislike music so much?

Pete, did you ever liek music to any extent?

I mean, when I asked people in the past, some would answer "radio", meaning that they'll just listen to whatever is there. Noone ever said they hate music.

[addicted2dvd]

I don't remember ever liking it. It really isn't something I can explain. It is just something that is I guess.

Plot:
On a family vacation to Hawaii, Ray rekindles an old romance with Tito's cousin, Noelani. Reggie and Otto feel dissed since Ray keeps canceling their extreme sports plans because Noelani says they're too dangerous. As the final straw, Reggie and Otto defy Ray to take off to surf the perilous Banzai Pipeline. But it's too late when they realize Noelani was right about this one!

Extras:
Bonus Episodes

My Thoughts:

Oh yeah, I remember this from when Hey Arnold! and CatDog were still on the air. (Or somehwere around there.) Reggie, Otto, Twister, Squid. The cartoons didn't make more extreme kids!! Although I always liked the show, the movie I didn't care for too much. Don't get me wrong the "Evil little men" Menehune thing was funny! But the thing about Ray finding a girl and the kids getting jealous, idk, just don't care for it.

When Scooby-Doo and the gang discover that their friend may have to sell his hotel because of the creature, things get even more mysterious.

My Thoughts:

Everyone loves Scooby doo, and this is one of my favorites! Alot like the TV show with a Spanish accent!!

There are a lot of good laughs in the movie, like Shaggy closing the door on Fred thinking he's el Chupacabra. The movie also fits in a fair amount of Mexican culture, which I must say is pretty impressive for a cartoon.

Title: Thir13en Ghosts
Year: 2001
Director: Steve Beck
Rating: R
Length: 91 Min.
Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.85:1
Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Commentary: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo
Subtitles: English, French, Spanish

Stars:
Tony Shalhoub
Embeth Davidtz
Matthew Lillard
Shannon Elizabeth
Alec Roberts
JR Bourne

Plot:
What a house! It's all steel and glass and elegance - and it all belongs to Arthur Kriticos and his family as an unexpected inheritance. You could say it's their dream home. Especially if the dreams are nightmares.

Awesome ectoplasmic specters populate THIRTEEN GHOSTS, an effects-rampant remake of the 1960 William Castle haunted-house film from producers Gilbert Adler, Joel Silver and Robert Zemeckis, who conjured up the equally terrorific HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1999). Tony Shalhoub as Arthur leads a cast that includes Embeth Davidtz, Matthew Lillard, Shannon Elizabeth, Rah Digga and F. Murray Abraham. The house itself is a design marvel and a mysterious puzzle-cube whose eerie corridors, sliding walls, spinning floors and phantasmic fiends may allow no escape.

My Thoughts:

I actually saw bits and pieces of this at my grandmother's house, so I was curious. It was a lot different than the William Castle "13 Ghosts"!! Very nicely made, may I say. The stories all tie in with each other. Pretty scary, got the chills a few times. Definitely something worth seeing!

This not fair... Britt can watch my horror movies... but I can't! 

[Najemikon]

I hope you can't hear them from where you are. That would be like passive smoking.

You'd still be smoking! 

[addicted2dvd]

  Nope... can't hear a thing... Darn it!
