And the one I watched was actually a free copy... it was one in the 20 Disc... 40 movie boxset I got from Total Movie Magazine when I subscribed to their magazine...
Here is a good shot at the back cover in case anyone wants to see what all is in it...
I have read online that most people that subscribed didn't even get their copy... so I feel pretty lucky I got mine. Even if some of the prints are pretty horrid. Though some are better then I thought they would be. These actually exist? I'm still waiting for mine (and my refund since I got 2 issues with my sub before they folded), and I was with that mag from issue freakin 1!  Glad they're out of biz for screwing so many! (insert middle finger icons here) I'm also still waiting for my Simpsons Season 6 "normal" box. Fox straight jacked me, cashed my check 4 years ago, and never replied to one email or death threat since. (middle finger icons again) |

| | Posted: | | | | Yup... they exist... I seem to be one of the few to actually get it. I remember being surprised to see it come in the mail at the time... as I remember completely forgetting about the set before it got to me. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: One Frightened Night Year: 1935 Director: Christy Cabanne Rating: NR Length: 65 Min. Video: Full Frame 1.33:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: Mono Subtitles: N/A Stars:Charley Grapewin Mary Carlisle Arthur Hohl Wally Ford Lucian Littlefield Regis Toomey Plot:An aging eccentric millionaire gathers his heirs and informs them that he intends to give his fortune to his granddaughter, if she appears before midnight, otherwise the five of them will split the estate. Two women arrive claiming to be the long-lost granddaughter, which upsets all of the other relatives. When one of the women ends up dead, suspicion falls upon everyone who potentially would benefit form the elimination of the other heirs. Extras:Scene Access My Thoughts: This is another one of the movies from the Horror Classics: 100 Movie Pack boxset. Though much like War of the Robots I have no idea why it is in this boxset as it is in no way horror. In this case it is a decent murder mystery. Not the best I ever seen... but worth the time put in to watch it. This one has a bumbling police detective for a little comic relief. Well not only him... the main character of the old man gave me a few chuckles as well. Unfortunately the print on this one leaves a bit to be desired. It is watchable... but it is far from pristine. I would probably buy a good print of this one if I could get it cheap enough. My Rating: 3.5/5 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Good Against Evil Year: 1977 Director: Paul Wendkos Rating: NR Length: 84 Min. Video: Full Frame 1.33:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo Subtitles: N/A Stars:Dack Rambo Elyssa Davalos Richard Lynch Dan O'Herlihy John Harkins Jenny O'Hara Plot:A young couple is forced to confront the ultimate horror when Satan decides to claim the young woman as his own. The boyfriend consults with two priests in the hopes of getting guidance on his spiritual dilemma. The two priests in turn decide to perform an exorcism in order to rid the woman of her possession. The boyfriend and the exorcists are pitted in a battle for the woman's soul with Satan and his clan of worshipers. Extras:Scene Access My Thoughts: This is another movie from the Horror Classics 100 Movie Pack that I recently bought. When I decided to watch this one next I went online to see what I could learn about the movie ahead of time. I am glad I did this as it prepared me for what I was about to see. This is actually a TV Movie that was meant to be a pilot movie for a TV Series that never happen. Because of this it left some things (Actually the main storyline) open at the end of the movie... hampering the enjoyment some. But since I went in expecting this... it didn't bother me as much as it normally does. Though I would have of course liked to seen an ending for the main storyline. And I will probably not watch this movie often because of this. In this movie you get to see an early role for Kim Cattrall (Samantha on Sex and the City). Though you don't see her till the last half hour of the movie. Over all it is a good story and I did enjoy what I did get to see. Though it is a bit dated as it does have that '70s feel to it. It is a shame the TV Series never came to be. I think it would have made a decent series... at least for a season. The quality of this one kind of surprised me since it is in that 100 movie set... both the picture and sound quality are good. My Rating: 3/5 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Ratatouille Year: 2007 Director: Brad Bird Rating: G Length: 111 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.35:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital EX: 5.1 (Matrixed 6.1), English: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo Subtitles: English Stars:Patton Oswalt Ian Holm Lou Romano Brian Dennehy Peter Sohn Peter O'Toole Plot:From the creators of Cars and The Incredibles comes a breakthrough comedy with something for everyone. With delightful new characters, experience Paris from an all-new perspective. It's "terrific moviemaking!" raves Leonard Maltin of Entertainment Tonight. In one of Paris' finest restaurants, Remy, a determined young rat, dreams of becoming a renowned French chef. Torn between his family's wishes and his true calling, Remy and his pal Linguini set in motion a hilarious chain of events that turns the City of Lights upside down. Ratatouille is a treat you'll want to enjoy again and again. Extras:Scene Access Feature Trailers Deleted Scenes Featurettes Closed Captioned Animated Shorts "Your Friend The Rat" & "Lifted" My Thoughts: This time I watched on of Brittany's DVDs with her. And this one not only looks great... but it also is a fun story. Beyond that it is hard for me to find words to explain what I think of this one. Sure there is a lot here that is far beyond belief... but hey it is an animated movie. And one I do think is geared more towards the kids then adults. Though I do believe adults will enjoy it as well. My Rating: 4/5 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Scooby-Doo and the Legend of the Vampire Year: 2003 Director: Scott Jeralds Rating: NR Length: 72 Min. Video: Full Frame 1.33:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround Subtitles: English, French, Portuguese, Spanish Stars:Casey Kasem Frank Welker Nicole Jaffe Heather North Kenney Phil Lamarr Michael Bell Plot:Music, mystery and a legendary Australian vampire are all part of the mix as Scooby-Doo goes Down Under for a hair-raising adventure in this all-new Scooby-Doo movie! On vacation in Australia, Scooby-Doo and the Mystery, Inc. gang attend a music festival held at Vampire Rock. But the music goes flat when the gang learns that a legendary Australian creature called the Yowie Yahoo is kidnapping the musical acts and turning them into vampires! Masquerading as a heavy metal band, Scooby-Doo and the gang must survive a trio of rock-and-roll vampires if they want to crack the outlandish Outback mystery surrounding The Legend of the Vampire! Extras:Scene Access Audio Commentary Bonus Trailers Interactive Games Music Videos DVD-ROM Content Closed Captioned My Thoughts: This is another one from Brittany's Collection that she wanted me to watch with her. I always been a fan of Scooby-Doo every since I was a kid. But this is one of several of the newer movies I never seen. This one messes with my mind a bit. On the one hand it has to do with Vampires. And I love pretty much anything Vampires. On the other... it takes place at a music festival... and I hate music! So needless to say this is not my favorite Scooby Doo movie. Though it does gain points with the vampire storyline. My Rating: 3/5 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  I take it I never mentioned that here. Yes... it is true.. I hate music... all music. It don't matter the kind or anything. The only music I hear is that in TV Shows and in movies. I don't even own a radio let alone any CDs, MP3 player or what have you. And yes... people tell me I am weird all the time. | | | | Pete |
