the low-brow, mentally-deficient, reality TV watching-Jerry Springer crowd  Don't hold any punches now! But yeah... I know what you mean. Any true fan of the actual series is left very disappointed. The only way you can enjoy something like that at any level at all is if you are not familiar with the series. Though there are exceptions. The Bewitched movie really wasn't anything like the series... but I actually enjoyed that one. Though they could have picked someone better for Darrin. | | | | Pete |

Though they could have picked someone better for Darrin. ...sorry about that. I'm just nostalgic when it comes to "Starsky and Hutch". The series played during a turbulent time in my life and it was a refuge and haven from the difficulties I was experiencing. For the studios to treat it the way they did was very disheartening. Ok...I'll get off my soap box now . I never saw the "Bewitched" movie...although I enjoyed the series growing up. | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Bring It On: Collector's Edition Year: 2000 Director: Peyton Reed Rating: PG-13 Length: 99 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.85:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, English: DTS: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Commentary: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround Subtitles: English, Trivia Stars:Kirsten Dunst Eliza Dushku Jesse Bradford Gabrielle Union Clare Kramer Nicole Bilderback Plot:The Toro cheerleading squad has spirit, spunk, sass and a killer routine that's sure to land them the national championship trophy for the sixth year in a row. But for newly-elected team captain, Torrance (Kirsten Dunst), the Toros' road to cheer glory stumbles when she discovers their perfectly choreographed routines were stolen from a hot hip-hop squad across town. Now the squad must scramble to find a new routine to compete in this year's competition. Extras:Scene Access Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Deleted Scenes Featurettes Production Notes Music Videos DVD-ROM Content Booklet My Thoughts: OK... this is not normally my thing. I am not what one would call a music fan. And there is definitely a lot in this movie. But I knew this going in. When my friend offered to send me this one... the main reason for saying yes was because of 2 things.... 1. Kirsten Dunst 2. Eliza Dushku And I definitely enjoyed watching these two girls (as well as many others) dance around in short skirts and bikinis. So that was definitely enough for me to not only stick it out... but get some enjoyment from it. Besides that... the main storyline is entertaining as well. I liked both Kirsten Dunst and Eliza Dushku's characters in this movie... it was fun to watch them in such a different type of movie then I am used to seeing them in. I don't know how often I could possibly watch this movie... but I can see myself watching it again with a reason (fitting into marathons and such). My Rating: 3/5 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut Year: 1980 Director: Richard Donner Rating: PG Length: 116 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.40:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Commentary: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo Subtitles: English, French, Spanish Stars:Gene Hackman Christopher Reeve Marlon Brando Ned Beatty Jackie Cooper Sarah Douglas Plot:You haven't seen all the Superman films until you've seen this! Superman II starring Christopher Reeve returns with a never-before-seen beginning and resolution. Director Richard Donner began shooting his vision of Superman II while concurrently filming Superman The Movie. For the first time, his unique vision is here. Jor-El (Marlon Brando in recently found footage) appears in key new scenes that amplify Superman lore and deepen the relationship between father and son. Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) plots more schemes to unmask Clark Kent as Superman. With so many changes, large and small, this version is an eye-opening alternate experience. Extras:Scene Access Audio Commentary Deleted Scenes Featurettes Closed Captioned My Thoughts: I finally got to see this version of Superman II for the very first time. And let me tell you... I enjoyed every minute of it. This version corrects most of the problems I had with the theatrical release. All those strange new powers that you never seen before in anything related to Superman is gone from this one. They still have Superman give up his powers... which is a portion of the movie I don't particularly care for as I find those scenes a little too slow. But I understand they are needed for the story they were telling. And I found I enjoyed the story better in this version. I must say I am thankful to those of you that encouraged me to finally add this version to my collection. It is definitely the better version... I enjoyed every minute of it! My Rating: 4.5/5 | | | | Pete |
