Chainsaw Massacre, delivers spine-tingling thrills when an attractive group of teens pile into a van that runs out of gas in the middle of a dark, mysterious forest. Their ghoulish nightmare begins when rotting, brain-starved zombies and a decapitated head-toting, screaming banshee-like hitchhiker begin to terrorise them at every turn. But when a mysterious figure, dressed in a blood-drenched burqa, appears sporting a medieval weapon dripping in gore, even the teens' prayers won't save them from a night of savage, demented horror.

Advantages: Kids will probably love it. Disadvantages: Adults will be yawning their heads off through the predictable shenanigans.
) loud pop punk. It?s not what you?d call inspired.
?Grounded: Unaccompanied Minors? is the kind of movie that will find its home on DVD or the Christmas TV schedules because it fits the template for children?s films so neatly. Those under the age of ten may well chuckle their way through it as the stuntmen take all manner of harsh looking falls (mainly during the improvised sledge chase) and the kids get one over on the adults. But grown-ups may find themselves snoring through the cheesy dialogue, predictable shenanigans and schmaltzy ending. And if your young ?uns are prone to imitating what they see, you might want to supervise them while they watch because the many stunts don?t appear to have any negative consequences. It?s an entirely unremarkable movie in all aspects. Tell you what, if your age is in single figures, add another star. ...

Advantages: Bar Scene Disadvantages: Everything else is horrid
Give a little bit of credit to Steven Seagal: He has at least attempted to make a film that promotes an environmentalist message, when most continue to treat Planet Earth as a dumping ground, having no idea of the damage they're doing. He has also attempted to give his character some spiritual development, wanting to go beyond the usual macho stereotypes, made famous by the likes of Schwarzenegger, Stallone and Seagal himself.
The ambitions may have been high, but the bottom line, however, is the execution of On Deadly Ground is pretty damn awful. The film is badly written, badly acted and badly edited. Even the action scenes, which Seagal fans always watch for, are considerably lacking.
The story is concerned with Forest Taft (Seagal), an expert in dealing with oil drilling-related fires. He works for CEO Michael Jennings (Michael ...
The Simpsons - Classics - Heaven and Hell is yet another of the 'classics' series of Simpsons DVD's. There are four episodes included here, each having something to do with heaven and the other place. They are "Bart Sells His Soul", "In Marge We Trust", "Treehouse Of Horror IV" and "Homer The Heretic".
In "Bart Sells His Soul", Bart sells his soul to Milhouse for 5 dollars after proclaiming they don't exist. He soon regrets the sale though, as his dog is very edgy towards him, automatic doors don't open for him anymore and Marge feel like he is missing something. In the end he gets it back from an unlikely source. A Bart-centric episode, it touches on what a soul is and how someone can possess such a thing. The Simpsons writers are excellent at trying to explain these things in a brilliantly comic way.
"In Marge We Trust" has Marge ...
Zombies beset a group of teens whose van runs out of gas in a remote location in HELL'S GROUND. This Pakistani horror feature takes all its cues from the U.S. slasher-horror genre and then ups the ante by introducing compelling cultural twists, such as a burqa-clad killer, into the mix.
