Homewood did pretty good on this one. I didn't want to put it down. Think I read it in one day.

Pretty good movie, with good direction. Low budget, but it looks pro. The acting, ahh yes the acting.. The acting is a step above amateurish. In some cases it gives the movie some charm, because the people seem more "real". Sometimes though, it just comes off as stiff. I have to give a tip of my hat to the director for getting the best he could out of these actors. Although the acting wasn't the best, the director knew what would work and they all basically pulled it off. I enjoyed it overall.

I just watched another monophonic 4:3. The story was good. The action was good. The violence was good. There was shooting and explosions. There was punching, kicking and stabbing.

Golden Age was good, but this isn't Manson's greatest work of art.  I found it much better than Holywood, but didn't dwell in the realm of Anti-Christ Superstar or Portrait.  I recommend this to any and all Manson fans.  Things are looking on the up-and-up again...

With this one you have to wonder why they bothered on bringing in that arrogant senator since he has been nothing but trouble since the end of season 1. I really think that they should've of done away with him years before this one came up. But the story had a nice touch to it. All the characters were there and they had a nice line with thier off-world friends that brought up the old "don't mess with alien technology when you don't know what you're doing" cliche not to mention reference of bringing up the sarcophagus which from the issue in the season 2 episode "Need" basically made it pretty clear just how dangerous that technology could be if used to many times as well as the devices' origin in that season 7 episode. But all in all it was a really good story and I recommend this to any who like the story and the tv show.

This movie looked predictable, and maybe a tad bit boring.  That I gave it a try in the first place can be blamed on having too much time on my hands, and nothing to lose as it is free to stream for Prime members.  But this one stepped beyond the usual boundaries of the "road trip film" formula, without ever quite breaking through the realism barrier -- a fine line to walk.  It had some truly laugh-out-loud moments for me, and some beautiful settings, but the real redeeming qualities all lay with the acting.  Each character was so well done, that this alone breathed life into what would otherwise have been a mediocre script.  I found the ending to be a little bit less conclusive than I would have liked, but the pacing was decent, and it did have an over-all feeling of completion, and the scenes mostly flowed well together.  Not a show stopper, but better than 50% of what they regularly show in theaters, so if you are looking for something sweet and sentimental, you may enjoy this.

i had some good insights about Lord Jesus, while watching this narrated "documentary" about some likely aspects of their home life and His upbringing, with historical background and pertinent factoids etc.. It isn't a slick production but it was a good thing to listen to while i was working on a craft at home.

Here it is at last. The highly anticipated new cd from The Gathering!
No doubt this new release was very important for the band to prove they can carry on just fine without their former singer. Did they succeed?

Well, to be honest, yes and no. Overall I find this to be an "okay" album. The new singer is proficient enough, but lacks a little in comparison to the former The Gathering singer Anneke (which is understandable given how great Anneke is).

There are some really nice songs on here that I find to be moving and fairly solid. This is a little more guitar driven than the last cd "Home", but by no means is it very heavy at all. The songs seem like a natural progression from "Home" and if you liked that last album you'll find something to like on The West Pole also.

But there are several songs on here that to me seem boring and uninspired. Almost like they didn't really know what direction to take some of the songs, so they just kind of dragged them out in a repetitive way. It's difficult for me to find a strong desire to restart the cd again unless for the reason of seeing if I can try to like it more. Perhaps with more time it will grow on me some.

My personal hunch is that their former singer Anneke also contributed her own ideas and parts to the song making process on previous Gathering albums. Whereas this time, the band was left to do it all on their own without Anneke's help, and then just have the new singer sing the parts assigned to her. So they lost a strong creative force in the band and I think it shows.

By no means is this a "bad" album. It's good, just not great, and to me doesn't feel very much inspired. Still, if your a long time fan of The Gathering like me and want their new works then feel free to get it. You'll for sure enjoy 3-4 of the songs on here, maybe more.

You can tell this was a low budget movie, but I think they did the best they could with what they had and made it work.  It was a good story line, likable (and non-likable) characters and it kept you wanting to know what happens next.  A few more bucks and this could have been a blockbuster.  Anyway, nice goin' guys!  I applaud your work on this one.

The 4 lads from So. Calif did a fairly good job on this one.  It's a fairly good album, a little heavy on the R&B for my tastes, but I think that alot of people will be very happy with this one.  The enhancements included on the cd will give you more information on the group

This song has been played quite a bit on both country and adult contemporary stations so I think its pretty well known. Just a good solid ballad with a little twang to give it that down home feel.

I got the other 5 seasons of Home Improvement and this one is pretty good. Not as good as the other seasons but still a season to have some laughs and enjoy the hilarious Tim Allen.

Now most of you know the sequels to movies are not as good as the first one with a few exceptions, IE Home Alone and Home Alone 2.  This one isn't as good as the first one which was expected, but it does have some good fighting scenes for sure.  I think maybe too much fighting scenes and the first one didn't have enough fighting scenes.  Either way it is a good movie with a surprise at every other corner.  I would say rent it first and if you like it buy it.

The last Wood brothers was a gift.  It is still getting play time. The stripped down sound and the songs were refreshing compared to much of what is released. The release after a group has some success always proves interesting and I'm glad to say this does not dissappoint.  It is not as raw as the last release but they are stretching in interesting ways.  The writing remains strong and the production is MORE but it doesn't seem to overpower the songs.  I will listen and let it grow to get more familiar with it but first impression is very good.

This was a 'one-hit-wonder', but is was a good one.
