Poltergeist-type films always get under my skin. I saw the 2023 Sherwood film a while back, but it wasn't as scary as I hoped. However, this prequel creeped me out so much I had to stop watching it late at night. (Although many bumps and scares occurred during the day!) I returned to watch it the next afternoon and am still just as unsettled. The concept of the insurance investigator spying on the house and witnessing everything in real time was excellent. Then, when he got the first knocks at his door, I knew there'd be big trouble for him.

I'm still curious about the origins of the house. It sounds like a wheezy, angry old sod who doesn't want people living there.

A compelling story that begs for more answers by the end. Great camera work and build-up to terror. Emotional and strong performance by Tucker Vaughn.

This movie was one of the most adorable Rom-Coms I've ever seen in any language. The cast is great and very pretty to look at. I definitely want to look up more of their acting work. The scenery is just out of this world gorgeous, it makes you desire to be on that island and even get married. The story is sweet, romantic, and full of so many wonderful little twists by the end. They were deftly written into the script and flowed so naturally. It didn't leave you feeling that they were tacked on or impossible to occur. If you are a fan of Chinese films and want something light, cute, and fluffy, I highly recommend watching this one!

I just purchased this off Amazon for an amazing price. I was really excited to see this because of Adam Baldwin and I was not disappointed with his role! I loved watching him out of his usual gruff and tough mode playing an enthusiastic and kind history teacher with slight PTSD from Vietnam and a sketchy past. He did a terrific job. Mid movie he gives an amazing speech to the class about Vietnam. The entire cast was good.

I felt the movie cut away from important scenes too fast, even though the clues to Liza's mystery become more and more obvious as the story progresses. It was like walking in on a scene where explanations were already given, so I had to rewind a few times to get the full brunt of them. And what I thought would be some very important turning points, were brushed right past.

The ending was a little disappointing. W/O a spoiler, I expected something more heartfelt, especially after the sweet and dramatic scene with actress Linsey Godfrey (Liza) and Adam. It could've ended right there. But I would've appreciated a certain conversation between Mr. Clemens and Liza, and a reunion of sorts, etc. - Not "Glee" or "High School Musical." But to be fair, music ties in to the characters.

All in all this was enjoyable. There should be more family films made in this vein. If you are looking for a clean film with good values then watch it. And definitely check it out if you're a fan of Adam Baldwin.

I'm a sucker for fugitive shows and this was terrific. It was a cross between the classic "The Fugitive" TV series and The Incredible Hulk. (Two of the best of the genre.) I loved that Lucan had animal/wolf like abilities and how his eyes glowed red-gold when he used them. He didn't quite have "super powers." And of course he's a true hero you can relate to - a sweet, easy-going and ruggedly handsome young man on a quest to find his real parents. Along the way he helps people.

Kevin Brophy was perfectly cast! Why he wasn't utilized more in Hollywood I simply don't know. He played Lucan with great earnestness and you truly believed in the character and wanted him to find his family.

This show should've lasted longer. It was smart and well-acted with a fascinating concept based on a true case of a wolf-boy in the woods.

I can't remember when this show aired, but it was only on six weeks before cancellation. Did the network just make it as filler for an empty time slot? I think it had a lot of potential. The premise was shaky, and the Hawaiian sets a little too phony, but the jokes were smart, funny, and the main cast absolutely stellar! The Ernest Hemingway riffs and theme throughout was an added touch. Too bad it didn't get at least one full season.

It was great to see the humorous side of wonderful actor David Morse. He is usually cast as a villain, simpleton, or cop. But I think he can truly play anything! (And that of course includes doctors and Pilots! I'd love to see him take another crack as a lead in a comedy series.

Voyagers! was an excellent show that could have gone far and taken us on many historical adventures, it was appealing both to children and adults. The teaming of late actor Jon-Erik Hexum and Meeno Peluce was wonderful, they had great chemistry and timing in their roles as Voyagers Phineas Bogg and Jeffrey Jones. Most of the plot lines were so fun to watch and follow, you really did learn some interesting facts along the way. This show is a great addition to the time travel genre and it even inspired another excellent show, 'Quantum Leap.' Jon-Erik was strikingly handsome, funny and charming as the confused pirate/Voyager and Meeno Peluce had a rare natural talent that only children could have, the ability to be lovable and a pain all at once! I highly recommend finding and watching this show to any sci-fi/time travel buffs!

I am not overly familiar with 'Road to Avonlea' the series, only the three 'Anne of Green Gables Films'. I looked into this episode because of it's guest star Robby Benson.

I found the episode very amusing and enjoyed all the confusion by Avonlea's residents. It's in the spirit of screwball comedy that the fun starts when Handsome Jonathan Ravenhurst Blackwell (Heir to a big fortune) Goes missing from his snobby, pushy Aunt Edith. Suddenly Gerald Young appears, an expert appraiser and lover of antiques. He declines to give Sara Stanley an interview, then mass confusion ensues between other characters and their so-called precious heirlooms. Of course, foul play is suspected as well. Soon everyone is after 'Gerald Young' and the only person who can help him is Sara.

Along the way, Sara learns an important lesson from Gerald. He helps her to accept her place as an heiress, and everything is seemingly resolved with the quick wit of a Sherlock Holmes like Detective, 'Doyle E. Reichenbach' Or is it??

This episode was made very fun by the over the top performances of the talented Robby Benson as Jonathan and Diana Rigg as stuffy Aunt Edith. The episode ends with a promise that 'Gerald Young' may return...to take Sara to dinner.

'AfterLife' is very gripping and exciting. It really shows how low and desperate our government could be when it comes to war. It expounds the message of how people really do fear what they don't understand. I won't give any spoilers, but when an experiment goes slightly awry, who are the real villains?

Clancy Brown is a complete stand-out and a very gifted actor, he was the best pick for the character of Linden Stiles. You can really sympathize and feel the pain of this soldier, accused of a heinous crime he didn't commit and forced to submit to an experiment 'for the good his country.' The rest of the cast give very powerful performances as well. A must see!

'The Keyman: Finding Redemption' is amazing!! I LOVED it!

The story was beautiful,exciting and heartbreaking. This has to be the BEST movie I've ever seen Adam Baldwin in..(Next to MY BODYGUARD, and RADIO FLIER, two great films) He is a highly talented actor, the entire cast was awesome.

Actually, this is one of the best films I've seen all year, maybe longer. That doesn't say much for all the 'big budget' directors and filmmakers. Sometimes they try too hard. I was so surprised, I didn't realize the depth of Keyman's psychological problems. I couldn't also help thinking, if you took the main characters, Keyman and Popeye and put them in a comedy, They would be hilarious. I'll admit that I cracked up laughing more than once. This is my type of movie. My complaint, it wasn't longer. Thank You Daniel for sharing your story.
