My Thoughts:
This is a 2010 Lifetime TV Movie... one that spawned a series also starring the lovely Jennifer Love Hewitt. I have been watching the series since it started... but I never seen this movie till now. This movie is apparently based off a true story. I enjoyed the movie quite a bit.... but I definitely prefer the series. Of course Jennifer Love Hewitt looks fabulous... but her character is much more likable in the series then she is in the movie. While a couple of the cast members remained the same from the movie to the series... the majority of them changed. There was other changes in the series as well. But as I said... I personally prefer the series... though that could be because it is what I saw first.

My Rating: 4/5

The now global terrors are rounded up and relocated to a far-flung island (but not for long!) in It's Alive III: Island of the Alive (Disc 2/Side B). Will a parent's greatest nightmare become the world's greatest fear? Find out...if you dare.

My Thoughts:
The first movie in the It's Alive box set (3 movies on 2 Discs)... This is a film I haven't seen since I was a kid. Which going into it worried me a little. I remember enjoying it back then... so my expectations were up a little. But at the same time I was worried it wouldn't hold up to my memory. While I remembered it to be better then what it was... I still enjoyed this one quite a bit. It is a little slow in spots, but not so much so that it takes away from the enjoyment of the storyline. I enjoyed watching the style this one is in... seldomly getting only slight looks at the mutated infant. Making you use your imagination more then you do for films now a day. If you never seen this movie... I recommend checking it out.

The masters of modern horror - George Romero and Dario Argento - bring you an unprecedented pair of shockers inspired by the tales of Edgar Allan Poe.

In Romero's The Facts In The Case of Mr. Valdemar, a conniving wife (Adrienne Barbeau of THE FOG) and her lover use a hypnotic trance to embezzle a fortune from her dying husband, only to receive some chilling surprises from beyond the grave. Then in Argento's The Black Cat, a deranged crime scene photographer (Harvey Keitel of RESERVOIR DOGS) is driven to brutal acts of madness and murder by his girlfriend's new pet. But will this cunning feline deliver a final sickening twist of its own?

Martin Balsam (PSYCHO) and Tom Atkins (MANIAC COP) co-star in this wild horror hit that also features grisly effects by gore master Tom Savini (DAWN OF THE DEAD, THE PROWLER). Blue Underground is proud to present TWO EVIL EYES newly transferred from an original vault negative and loaded with exclusive Extras for the first time ever on DVD.

My Thoughts:
This is an Anthology Horror movie I never heard of before. It was suggested to me by a couple friends that said I HAD to see it. Though it is a little different then most anthology horrors I have seen. There is only 2 stories in this one... which I am used to seeing at least 3 in most of the others. Plus there is no wrap-around story to this one. The first story, The Facts In The Case of Mr. Valdemar, has a bit of a slow start. I still enjoyed every minute of it, so this didn't hurt it much at all. I also enjoyed the second story, The Black Cat. This one can be a little on the weird side at times. I was happy to see a favorite actress of mine, Julie Benz (Dexter), has a small part in it. She is young in this movie. So young in fact I almost didn't recognize her. She looked to be in her mid-teens here. Harvey Keitel stars in this second story... and I think he did a great job. I am thrilled I finally got to see this film. Over-all I enjoyed it very much. This special edition DVD has a nice selection of extras. Most of which is on a bonus disc. I only glanced at these extras so far... but they look pretty solid. This is one I feel comfortable recommending.

My Thoughts:
I remember seeing this movie years ago when it first came out on VHS. I remember enjoying it back then... but I haven't watched it since. This DVD was in a box full of DVDs that was given to me a couple years back... and I am just now getting the chance to watch it again. This one held up well for me over the years. I still found I enjoyed the movie quite a bit. Unfortunately shortly into the movie I remembered the ending... who the murderer was... even after all these years. But that's ok...it don't take away from the enjoyment. Recommended... if you never seen it.... check it out.

My Thoughts:
This is part of a box set that contains the first 4 movies in the series. It is a fun movie. There is a lot of laugh out loud moments. Though I must admit that I remember it being a little better then what it actually is. While I did laugh at most of the jokes... some of them did fail. Rodney the guinea pig was a lot of fun. And I liked the drunk monkey. I felt the main storyline with the tiger was good... but think it could have been a little better... as my attention did drift a little here and there. But over-all it is one I would recommend for some family fun. Being the first movie in the set I am surprised at how little extras is added. I would definitely liked to of seen a few more things added.
