I cannot believe that Lost wasted my time once again. This episode was the same as the episode earlier in the season, verbatim. There was not one scene or one line added that was new. How do they reshow an episode from early in the year over again? This was really pathetic in the scheme of the show. I expect a lot more from Lost. They should be ashamed of themselves. This was a damn clip show of the season and they didn't have the balls to hone up to it. They should have left it out and settled for twenty two episodes instead of twenty three. It really is maddening to watch Lost because they tread water (no pun intended) once every five episodes. They always circle the same time line from different points of view and give nothing new to the consumer. They just feed the ABC/ Disney run cash cow that is headed by the regenerated corpse of Walt "The f*ck" Disney. I really love this show but each season could easily be fourteen or fifteen episodes. The excess really takes away from the show.

This movie tends to get panned across the board. Many people see it for what it is on the surface, a low budget crap-o-rama. And, I do agree there is a lot of awful things about this film. The special effects are circa 1954. There are a lot of cheesy animated scenes with the beasts. But, this can be overlooked easily. It is a low budget film made in the late sixties. George Lucas hadn't introduced the world to computer generated effects yet. So, learn to ignore cheesy effects. That was the style at the time. Also, the acting is poor. But, I have seen much worse. And, yes there are some inconsistencies with hair length and the overall appearances of the cast members. But, they filmed this over two years on nothing but the love for the film. You can choose to dwell on all that is wrong or you can choose to focus on all that was right in this film. First, the film was like an early version of the Evil Dead trilogy. The book is like the Necronomicon (the book of the dead) in the Evil Dead movies. An old professor finds the book and by reading it and studying it he unlocks the evil of hell upon a remote wilderness location. After doing so his young college students come to visit him only to realize that he has unlocked the evil of the book. In this movie the professor leaves a note explaining what happened. In the Evil Dead he leaves a recording of what he had done on an old tape recorder. So, if you like the Evil Dead movies, this movie did it first. I think the best thing of all about this movie is that it has a brutal ending. It does not take the happy way out. In the end no one escapes. They all ultimately die. I liked the ending because it wasn't a Hollywood ending where the bad guys get theirs and the good guys win. They were battling Satan, OF COURSE THEY WOULDN'T WIN. So, before you trash this movie you should think of how innovative it was. It was 1970. A lot of this hadn't been turned into clichés yet. If you are a horror film fan (for real) this movie is a distinct positive moment of growth and innovation as well as cheesy crap. It's the best of both worlds.

Anyone who has ever "accidentally" consumed mushrooms and tripped will be drawn to this movie. Depending on the quality of intelligence of the abuser/ viewer will depend on how much this movie is liked. If the viewer is your typical "duuuuuude" drug user they'll like this. If you are a drug user who likes good horror movies (or just a horror film fan) then you will be disappointed. This is just another junk movie. A bunch of 20 something college friends go on a reunion trip. While on vacation they begin to die. This setup is lame and grossly overused. They took a clichéd plot and added shrooms. Ooooooo, what a twist. If you take the shrooms out of the movie you have the same crap film that has been made a hundred times in the last decade. And, if you add the shrooms it makes a minor improvement. The depiction of trails from the shrooms was good. But, it wasn't funny, the gore shots were poor, the nudity was non- existent, and the ending was a serious disappointment's. They went for one of those "Oh, no! It wasn't a ghost! It was one of the main characters!" Gasp. That ending is far played out. This was ultimately a big waste of time. Go to Ireland and do shrooms yourself.

This is yet another ridiculous Walker Texas Ranger episode. None of the shows could be considerd good for the right reasons. Walker has always been a clichéd based show and often just rips off 80's and 90's action films. In other words, it is the perfect project for Chuck Norris. This episode is of course about Blood Diamonds. Walker Texas Ranger is awesome for the fact that every episode has some outrageous over exploited plot line. This episode combines bio-terrorism and blood diamonds. At the end of this episode it turns out to be a dream. Then Walker says a few lines from Alex's dream. A nice blatant use of a cliché. He leaves and she realizes that what he said is from her dream. Walker was shot three times and dying in her dream. You here three gun shots as she runs to stop him from going to work. Then the episode ends. So, is Walker dead, of course not. He's back for the last three episodes. So, what the hell?

Who in their right mind could recommend this festering pile of monkey dung? This is the worst directed, written, acted, and edited film I've ever seen. It starts off leading you to believe that it is going to be a roadside abduction-torture movie. Then you think it is going to be about cannibalism. Then it finds itself mired in plot development. It never finds it's way out. In the end it becomes a revenge movie? Apparently the villain can fly, see in night vision, and is controlled by a retarded ill-willed car crash victim. The gore occurs five minutes into the movie and then nothing happens for an entire hour. There are so many characters and the director rots so much that you hardly know who is who and why they are doing what they are doing. You truly could care less about the villain and the victims. I'd drink a gallon of rancid semen than ever experience this pretentious and self indulgent tripe ever again.

This movie is far and beyond one of the most melodramatic pile of steaming cow intestines that I have ever seen. All Life Time movies are melodramatic , over acted, badly directed, and star at least one badly washed up actor. In the old days washed up actors went to do bad television movies to die. Today they go to reality television. Personally, melodramatic crap like this is far superior to reality television. The movie is fairly simple. Two white-bread Christians adopt two children. One is good and one is bad. It is blatantly obvious to anyone with any foresight that this child has been sexually abused. The only thing you don't know is how they are going to tell you this. They do it with two stuffed animals and some of the sickest and funniest puppet work ever. Also, these rotten adoptive parents use a ridiculous liberal P.C. psychotherapy to unleash her rage so she can find her love. During one of these brilliantly overacted scenes, the little bitch Goddess child repeats " I hate you, you old ugly bitch!" She also has some other fine insults to spew out at her eventual saviors. If that isn't enough how about quality violence? Still not convinced to waste two hours of your life? Well, how about a tear jerking ending with such lines as "Tears for baby cat?" "Yes, dear." "Don't cry mommy." If you still are not convinced to watch this take into consideration; Murdoch from the A-Team plays the Preacher Christian Adoptive father with a heart of gold and a will power as strong as tempered steel. Not to mention crap loads of money for a preacher. He must be good at swindling parishioners . This apparently really happened. That sucks. Child abuse is only kind of funny. Like in this movie for instance. They meant well. But, Christ did they miss the mark and hit my funny bone.
