Down Periscope


Here is another movie I seen that was on tv for awhile. I seen it when it came out in 1996 and loved it than.
I was feeling a little blue last night and decided that a pick me up movie was the best. So Down Periscope was the answer.
Nothing about this movie is believeable in terms of military law. The Lt. Commader who was played by Kelsey Grammer who was kind of a rebel in this movie.
And a colorful crew to compliment the Lt. Commander. Plus 1 female officer with all those crewmates made 1 funny moment after the other.
Even though there were others who tried to sabotage their task, the crew found a way to beat the odds against them and win the war game.
I would suggest to see this movie. It's good fun :D I'm even thinking about getting it on DVD.

The Butcher

Last night I was waiting for my husband to get up to go to work. It was a long night with a game of swapping, I didn't feel like surfing the net. So I surfed the tv. LOL!

What is it that sucks me in to the B movies? Oh I don't know*giggles*, but of course I found something on Fearnet.com. The Butcher, year 2006. Ok the year is late enough so I settled myself down and began the movie.

You know how it goes with these movies, so many cliches`. There were 6 college students driving on a little vacation.1st you have a big mouth kid, Mark that starts it all. Thinks he's funny. His girlfriend is a know it all, I can fix anything. And 2 girls that love each other. Last but not least another guy, Adam that really likes the girl who is sweet and likes everyone.

Car breaks down and kids get out of car and go wandering to find help. No phone signal of course. Oh what is that a head of us? A farmhouse, lets go and get help. The only thing that big mouth says right is "Didn't you ever see any scary movies?, no one ever comes out of the farm house". Not heading his word they go in. They don't find anyone, or a phone but still pick up stuff and look at it.

You know if that was me. Not uh! not me I'm not staying. LOL!

Movie goes on and 1 by 1 the kids all die. Don't you think after the 1st one died they would get out of there? No girlfriend named Rachel, can fix anything, she is going to get the rest out. She was counting on this girl, named Angel that they all met and thought she was a victim of this man and woman who were cutting up people and storing their parts in the ref. to help her.But to
Rachel's surprise Angel was man and woman's daughter.

Well Rachel and Adam were the only ones left alive. Adam thinks that he got away only to find more dead people on the road. He finally tracks down the sheriff. But we all know what happens to the sheriff don't we?
A lot of screaming goes on. Yada,Yada! Adam and Rachel get to the point that they think they killed the man, woman and daughter. Sadly though Adam risked his life. Rachael runs out on road found help.
Or did she?

What a movie. How can I not want to watch the same things happening over and over. Where I just love asking them why?

Now that's scary. LOL!

Little Miss Sunshine...






Oh! What a strange but yet wonderfully positive movie. I was watching this with Sci too and we were having an argument about who was most normal. Sci declaring that the guy... I'm thinking Dewayne was, but I know that Olive was the most well-adjusted. However, further into the movie we realized that none of them were necessarily "socially acceptable" but yet as a family, they were normal.


This movie is a comedy, and this is exactly what it brings: comedy. Even when touching upon the subject of death, I couldn't help but laugh.


Although the characters were extreme, gritty, and strange; they were real and I believe that was the made the raw humor of the move stand out.


Who was my favorite character? Mine personally was Olive. The single scene that drove me to the edge to like her was when (toward the end of the movie: so if you feel anything at the movie is a spoiler, close your eyes while you read :-P ) Dewayne runs out into the desert crying and Olive comes over with the glasses slid down her nose, looks him in the eye and puts her head on his shoulder. I know not exactly funny, but the fact that is made Dewayne feel better was the humorous part.


Anyway, to My personal rating, I give it 4 out of 5 stars: ****


If you haven't seen this movie, SEE IT!

The Little Rascals

I'm going to start this blog with a movie that I saw today. I was sitting there having my coffee. And I saw that The Little Rascals {the newer version} was playing on HBO.



All seemed the same like the rascals that we knew. Spanky was still the president of their girl hating club. Our Gang is still funny with their crazy things that they do.
But this time Alfalfa is in love with Darla. Uh Oh! In the end Darla comes to their resue and maybe Our Gang might have a change of heart? LOL!


My best character ? Petey he's some dog. The best friend you'll ever have :D
All in all a nice movie and newer things happening in this time. Kids were cute than too ;)
