| | Posted: | | | | Alphabet Marathon: The Unwatched Version
I was looking over my Unwatched DVD collection... and was surprised to see I have 877 movies in my collection that I haven't watched yet. There is some titles that I have seen the movie... but not since getting the DVD.
I also noticed that I have something for almost every letter. So I thought this would be a perfect time to start an Alphabet Marathon. This isn't a marathon I expect to have done in a weekend of course... not even in a week. But I do want to try to have it completed before I start my annual Horror marathon in October.
For those that are not familiar an Alphabet Marathon is one where I watch a single movie for (starting with a number) every letter in the alphabet. In this case... they will all be movies from my unwatched collection. For most letters I have plenty of titles to choose from. There is 2 or 3 letters that I only have one movie for... but that just makes my decision that much easier.
But... Like I said... I have everything covered except 1 letter. That is the letter X. So I am hoping I will get that taken care of before I get to it. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | 27 Dresses is a cute movie, but very much a chick flick. I know when I watched it, I enjoyed it mainly because I kept on going, "I wore that!"  But it is very lighthearted and fun. The ending scene makes the movie for me because I think it's every bridesmaid's dream to do that to the brides for their own wedding. | | | | Lori |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: 2012 Year: 2009 Director: Roland Emmerich Rating: PG-13 Length: 158 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.40:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Audio Descriptive: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround, Commentary: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround Subtitles: English, French, Commentary Stars:John Cusack Amanda Peet Chiwetel Ejiofor Thandie Newton Oliver Platt Tom McCarthy Plot:From Roland Emmerich, director of The Day After Tomorrow and Independence Day, comes the ultimate action-adventure movie, exploding with groundbreaking special effects. As the world faces a catastrophe of apocalyptic proportions, cities collapse and continents crumble. 2012 brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors. Starring John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet, Danny Glover and Woody Harrelson. Extras:Scene Access Audio Commentary Bonus Trailers Deleted Scenes Featurettes Music Videos My Thoughts: Before watching this movie I searched some reviews to see what others thought of it. I was actually surprised... seems like most people didn't care for this one. Until today I just remembered hearing good things. Then I actually watched it. I wouldn't say I disliked it as much as most the people seemed to... but it is far from the best movie of it's kind. The effects were definitely cool. But I found for the most part I really didn't care about many of the characters. I also thought it was just too long. I think this is one case where the movie would have been better if they didn't have it at such a length. Over-all I would say it is just an average disaster movie. My Rating: 3/5 | | | | Pete |

Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.35:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Spanish: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround, French: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround, Commentary: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo, Commentary: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo Subtitles: English, French, Spanish Stars:Jason Biggs Seann William Scott Alyson Hannigan Eddie Kaye Thomas Thomas Ian Nicholas January Jones Plot:You're on the guest list - for this UNRATED AMERICAN WEDDING, the version you couldn't see in theaters! The AMERICAN PIE gang returns to wreak havoc with a new rite of passage when Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) decide to get married! Of course, Stifler (Seann William Scott) will be there (bridesmaids!) and, more importantly, will throw the ultimate bachelor party (strippers!). So RSVP for the outrageously UNRATED AMERICAN WEDDING experience, in this hilariously hot, frantically funny final chapter of the unforgettable AMERICAN PIE saga! Extras:Scene Access Audio Commentary Bonus Trailers Deleted Scenes Featurettes Production Notes Outtakes/Bloopers DVD-ROM Content Closed Captioned Theatrical & Unrated Versions My Thoughts: I felt like something fun and completely silly next... yes even to the point of the crude and the sick. And much like the first two... this has all of the above. There was more then one laugh in this movie for me... but at the same time some things went a little far for my taste. But of course that could be because I watched the Unrated version instead of the theatrical release... which is also on this disc. Over-all I enjoyed this movie. But I know it is definitely not for everyone. It is one I am sure some would find offensive. My Rating: 4/5 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Bringing Down the House: Widescreen Year: 2003 Director: Adam Shankman Rating: PG-13 Length: 105 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.35:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Commentary: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo Subtitles: English Stars:Steve Martin Queen Latifah Eugene Levy Joan Plowright Jean Smart Kimberly J. Brown Plot:The hilarious Steve Martin (Father Of The Bride) and Academy Award® nominee Queen Latifah* (Chicago) star with Eugene Levy (American Pie) in the laugh-out-loud hit comedy Bringing Down the House. Peter Sanderson (Martin), a divorced, straitlaced, uptight, workaholic attorney, meets a brainy, bombshell lawyer in an online chat room and they make a date. Expecting his soul mate, he opens the door and finds himself face-to-face with Charlene (Latifah) — a wild and crazy soul sister who's just escaped from prison and wants Peter to clear her name. But Peter wants absolutely nothing to do with her, and that prompts Charlene to turn Peter's perfectly ordered life totally upside down. Hysterical complications abound and Peter soon finds out he may need Charlene just as much as she needs him. It's a houseful of fun your family will enjoy again and again. *Best Supporting Actress, Chicago, 2002 Extras:Scene Access Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Deleted Scenes Featurettes Music Videos Outtakes/Bloopers Closed Captioned My Thoughts: I decided to watch this one next because today (8/14) is Steve Martin's 66th birthday. So wanted to watch something with him in it I haven't seen before... this was the only thing I had left that I haven't watched yet. It isn't a bad comedy... but there really isn't anything special about it either. I would say it is worth watching... but at the same time it isn't something I see watching very often. Over-all just an average comedy with a couple chuckles in it. My Rating: 3/5 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I briefly looked at all the profiles as I got the movies. But there is certain things I don't touch. Things like Crew and studios I leave to people with better knowledge in those areas then I have. Especially with the way the crew rules are... and the way the forum goes on about crew data. | | | | Pete |

Having been kidnapped at gunpoint and locked in an undisclosed attic, Jessica pleads with Ryan to get help before her abductors return to kill her. With no way of knowing where she is, and with the battery in his cell dying quickly, Ryan is plunged into a relentless, high-stakes thrill ride through a world of lies and murder in this riveting, adrenaline-pumping suspense thriller. †1998 Best Actress in a Supporting Role, L.A.

It is one of the many movies that were given to me this past year. This one I actually enjoyed quite a bit. Kept my interest from beginning to end. Some pretty good action and chase scenes. If you haven't had the chance to do so yet... I would say it is definitely worth checking out... I recommend it. My Rating: 4/5 | | | | Pete |

Drag Me to Hell
I liked "Drag Me to Hell". I own the Blu-ray Unrated Director's Cut. I've always liked Sam Raimi and, although this film got mixed reviews, I think he did a fairly decent job here. Lots of scares (more startles...than scares really) and gory effects  . | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |
