| | Posted: | | | |  Series: Lost Episode: s3e20 The Man Behind the Curtain Who's Birthday: Ben Plot:Ben begrudgingly tells Locke some of the secrets of the island, beginning with the mysterious Jacob. Meanwhile, the secret of the parachute woman is revealed, and Juliet is exposed as a spy. Flashbacks to the 1970s show how Ben came to the island and give insights into the early history of the Dharma Initiative. My Thoughts:Towards the end of the third season... the series is getting a bit on the weird side now. But I am still enjoying it. This episode answers a lot of questions about Ben and The Dharma Experiment. But at the same time opens up more questions.

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Bloody Birthday Who's Birthday: Debbie, Curtis & Steven Plot:In 1970, three children were born during the height of a total eclipse of Saturn, the planet governing emotion. Ten years later these seemingly innocent children have become heartless killers able to move around under the radar of suspicion because of their youthful facades. What happens when a teenage girl and her younger brother stumble upon the horrible truth? My Thoughts:I remember really enjoying this one back in my early teens when it first came out. I can't say it is quite as good as I remember it being. But I definitely enjoyed every minute of it. Of course I do have a soft spot for '80s horror... after all they are the movies I grew up watching. Sure, evil children has been done to death. Some probably done better then this one. And more times then not it seems to have to do with an eclipse when the children was born. But that don't take away from the fact that this one is good. It has some creative kills (gotta love the arrow through the peephole!) and a good story. I am so glad I finally found this movie again... and the fact that it cost me less then $4.00 is icing on the Bloody Birthday cake. While I really can't complain... I do wish this one had more extras on the disc. My Rating: 4/5 Goal: 43 Watched: 28 Left: 15 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Happy Birthday to Me Who's Birthday: Virginia Wainwright Plot:Get ready for a taut mystery-shocker that will keep you at your wit's end and at the edge of your seat. Popular high school senior Virginia Wainwright (Melissa Sue Anderson) survives a freak accident, but suffers from memory loss and traumatic blackouts. As she attempts to resume a normal life, something terrible is happening — her friends are ruthlessly murdered one-by-one. Will she be the next victim or is she the killer? The terrifying truth is finally uncovered at Virginia's 18th birthday party...and you're invited. My Thoughts:My wife used to drive me nuts always watching Little House on the Prairie before she passed away... so Melissa Sue Anderson is very familiar to me from that.I found this movie to be very good... I really enjoyed it. I have to say... I got a kick out of that bridge game they played towards the beginning of the movie. I think Melissa Sue Anderson did a very good job on this movie. I grew up with '80s horror... and definitely watched quite a bit of it. I would rank this one high on the list of the many movies I remember watching at the time. I found some... if not most of the killings to be really imaginative. The DVD release could have definitely been better. Especially that cover art! Why they didn't use the movie poster for the cover art I will never understand. And there is actual no extras what so ever on this disc concerning this movie. Not even the theatrical trailer. I would have loved to seen a few extras here. Some deleted scenes... commentary... pretty much anything that was actually about the movie. But no such luck.

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Rabid Grannies Who's Birthday: Victoria & Elizabeth (The Grannies) Plot:Grannies are the greatest. They bake pies, tell stories and take you to the zoo. They don't ask for an arm and a leg in return. THEY WANT YOUR WHOLE BODY! It's off to grandmother's house we go for Rabid Grannies, the blood-spattered tale of two little old ladies who open a surprise package from Hell. Out slithers a mysterious fog that turns the grannies into ghouls who can't wait to sink their dentures into human flesh. Luckily for them, they have a houseful of juicy guests. Unluckily for their guests, these bone-crunching battle-axes just can't get filled up. Rabid Grannies - these biddies bite My Thoughts:How is this movie? Well... what can you expect from a Troma movie? Nothing much! This one may be a bit better then some of the Troma movies I have seen... but that isn't saying much. In this one the entire "family" shows up for the grannies birthday celebration. All of them only showing up to ensure their inheritance. One of their birthday presents ends in the grannies being possessed by demons. Let me tell you... in this one I had a hard time even getting to the birthday party scene. Really... there is nothing much to see here. My Rating: 1/5 Goal: 43 Watched: 30 Left: 13 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Episode: s3e12 Helpless Who's Birthday: Buffy Plot:Buffy feels weak and is unable to carry out her duties as a slayer. When she goes to Giles for help he seems distracted. This is because he is, on the orders of the Watcher's Council, preparing her for the Cruciamentum, a test the Watchers put each slayer through on her eighteenth birthday. She must be weakened and left alone to beat a vampire, to test her resourcefulness. My Thoughts:This is another great episode of Buffy. One I have enjoyed quite a bit every time I seen it. Though I must say it doesn't live up to the season 2 birthday episode... though it is close. I thought the test they put Buffy through was an entertaining idea. I must admit the first time I watched this episode I was pretty pissed at Giles myself. My Rating: 5/5 Goal: 43 Watched: 31 Left: 12 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Episode: s4e12 A New Man Who's Birthday: Buffy Plot:At Buffy's 19th birthday party, Giles has a realization. He is an unemployed, middle-aged man hanging around with a bunch of teenagers. He feels even worse when he finds out that he is the only one who doesn't know about Riley and the Initiative. Feeling useless and insecure, he runs into Ethan Rayne, but the confrontation ends in drinks at the local pub rather than the usual fisticuffs. The next morning, Giles looks in the mirror and sees a massive Fyarl demon looking back at him. My Thoughts:This has never been one of my favorite episodes. I would say it is somewhere between fair and good. For one thing I never liked the character of Ethan Rayne. He is one character that really bored me. Thankfully you only see him a couple times throughout the series. Though it was fun to see Giles as a demon unable to communicate with the gang.

| | Posted: | | | |  Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Episode: s5e6 Family Who's Birthday: Tara Plot:Tara inadvertently puts everyone in danger when she secretly casts a spell on her friends after her family arrives in Sunnydale to celebrate her birthday. My Thoughts:Another good one here. Giles is told Dawn is the key. Tara finds out what she means to the rest of the group. And the whole spell gone wrong thing was fun as well.
