Ghosthunters - Echoes From Beyond The Grave



The Ghostly Biker
Near a village inn in England there are sightings of a young biker who died in the 1970's when he had a motorcycle accident some three miles from the inn. Several people have felt the presence, or actually seen and held conversations with this young man, who is described as being in his early 20's, rather tall, dark hair, and dressed all in black leather. It is said that the young biker apparition is saddened that he has caused anxiety or distress to those who have felt or experienced his presence. He does not want to cause distress, but does like to talk to sensitives and mediums about cleaning his bike and chatting to his mates, and listening to 70's music. He spent a lot of time at this particular inn when he was alive, and feels at home there now that he is in his death state.

It is said that this spirit of the young biker has been lost and wandering the inn for a long time, seeking release. Some spirits do not know they are dead and therefore, are in a kind of limbo -...

Jesus, The Daughter Of God



Blasphemous Fun
Hilarious premise, attractive women, clever, and great slow motion fight scenes with girls in G-strings. I saw it at a horror convention before it came out on DVD. It was on my radar for quite a while, and I am happy to finally own it. Plus, the bloopers are hilarious.

not as good as douchebag but good
this isn't so much an acquired taste, as it is a taste that should be force fed to the masses. (much like Christianity is upon the children of the world) I feel acorns. Continuing in the theme of 'Jesus, the Total Douchebag' and 'Quantum Leap', you find out what would happen if a bleach strawberry stripper possessed the body of Christ. Sully forth!!

Zero Stars
This is wrong on so many levels. A movie with this plot should never have been put on film. It is absolute bigotry. It's too bad I can't give it zero stars.

Final Thoughts [HD]



Please step out of your box.
This show was created and filmed for informative entertainment. The shrinks and clients are cast. The clients were cast based on their presenting problems and willingness to share them on TV. They were then matched to the shrinks that were most likely to identify/treat/are dealing with/have dealt with similar problems in their own lives. Then the producers amplify everything to make good TV. Good/interesting TV doesn't just happen - producers have to get in the kitchen and make things happen with the right ingredients. Sure parts may seem a little out there and some parts are not even close to what some therapists' have witnessed. The show has to be tame enough to be palatable for wide range of audiences and interesting enough to keep viewers watching. I feel they have created a happy balance and will keep watching for now.

Typical reality show from Bravo
As a therapist, I was enthusiastic about a new "reality show" focused on my profession. I found it interesting when the show focused on the lives on the psychologist. Just don't think this is how the typical shrink in LA lives. I was distracted by the obviously fake patient sessions talking about their partner's genitalia and other graphic sexual information. This felt like filler, and was quite tedious...I wish they focused more on the psychologist's personal lives outside work and their reasons for entering the profession. In addition, I would be surprised in the cast of the show still have their licenses by the end of season 1. If I was in their position, I wouldn't want to be filmed while using excessive profanity or laying in a bathtub naked. Overall, this is a decent show that has plenty of room for improvement in future episodes.

I love this show.
I will admit that I only began watching this show because I went to school with Dr. Eris, but I am really entertained by it! Can't wait to see next week's episode!

Ghosthunters - The Invisible Intelligence



Pete the Friendly Poltergeist
An area of Cardiff, Wales is said to be inhabited by a friendly, playful, whimsical spirit who has been affectionately named, 'Pete'. The owners of a lawn mower repair shop have had many intelligent interactions with Pete, and one man has seen the apparition on several occasions. He describes Pete as a young boy in 1940's clothing, a small boy who likes to wave at people. Items appear and re-appear with the help of Pete. Pete is capable of learning, and can even use rubics-cube blocks to tell people he is a boy.

Everyone who has had intelligent interactions with Pete consider themselves privileged. So, if you visit Cardiff, Wales be sure to introduce yourself to the young poltergeist. You will fall in love with Pete and his presence will never leave you, and you will never forget him.

Live at Montreux 2012 [Blu-ray]



Fantastic!!!
Alanis is at her very best in this concert DVD. Her voice is better than ever, and she is backed by a great band. If you are already an Alanis fan, this concert is a must have. If you are on the fence, watch this DVD, or listen to the CD. You will know why she has such ardent fans. 5 stars.

Middle of the Road Morissette
I'll preface by saying that I'm an Alanis Fan, and by that I mean I keep up with her getting each new release.I mean Beyond "Jagged Little Pill". There have been Low points (So called chaos) and High points (Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, Flavors of Entanglement) And then there is the current era, Out on tour for her first album in 4 years "Havoc and bright Lights" which, has on almost all accounts been a middle of the road, mid-tempo experience. Alanis usually commands attention, but this time around it's astounding how easily she can just fade into the background, This DVD/blu-ray is not an exception.
Alanis knows that "Jagged Little Pill" is her bread and butter, and instead of wanting to be broken free from the past, she seems to cater to it, with much of the track list being composed off of JLP hits, the non-JLP tracks we get I'm grateful for. What's left of the set-list(a little more than half) is a mix from all her other studio albums with the exception of 2004's "So...

Great show, great setlist, ok editing.
If you have ever had the chance of enjoying an Alanis Morissette concert, then you know how powerful and energetic she is, once she gets on stage; how she can fill the entire stage with her voice and her music, and how incredibly generous she is with her audience.

Those are some of the things that this recording captured through a well picked setlist with very good quality. The highlights for me are the haunting opening act "I remain", "Flinch", "All I Really Want", "Versions of Violence", "Woman Down" and "Hand in my Pocket".

There is one thing I really disliked: No extras. It would've been nice to have some backstage or interviews or a soundcheck or... anything!

All in all, for fans and good music lovers, this is a must.

Missile Attack



Cold War era footage of missile systems and technology!
I gave this three stars because the second dvd "Rockets and Missiles" is mostly a rehash of the SAME topics and footage/content that is shown in the Modern Missiles dvd. I liked the "Modern Missiles" dvd better because it was presented better and the topics interested me more. The "Rockets and Missiles" dvd has a couple of topics that are not included in the other dvd, like Sea Eagle and RBS70 missile systems but in my opinion it is not worth buying. The "Modern Missiles" dvd will have almost the same content. The footage and content are from the 1980s during the Cold War. There is NO current footage of recent missile systems. I will list the scenes/chapters for the Modern Missiles dvd below:

1. FIRING POST - setup and live fire footage of the French Milan anti-tank missile.

2. MISSILE TUBES - includes footage of the British Javelin and Rapier anti-aircraft missiles with demo and technology content. Also includes the American Chaparral and French Roland missile...

Behind The Orange Curtain



MUST SEE SERIOUSLY
I am SO thankful that someone made this movie. The drug problem in this country is just absolutely too much and it needs to BE SOLVED. Every young person should watch this. Before it's too late.

Chilling Gripping Eye-Opening Heartbreaking Documentary
In April of this year 2013 I first saw this movie at a church in Orange County California; a Friday nite program called "Celebrate Recovery". Myself just 14 days clean & sober; there was not a dry eye in the building. It's so intense that I found it really hard not to get up and walk out. The reality so grim and heartfelt. Way too real; way to harsh. A MUST SEE!!! If you or anyone in your family or any loved one you know is dealing with prescription drug abuse or addiction PLEASE watch this movie; it could save your life or the life of a loved one.

Awesome
This documentary is a real eye opener. I'm hoping children and parents, alike, will watch this because knowledge is power. It packed a powerful punch for me and I've seen it several times now. It is shockingly accurate about what is going on, not only in Orange County but around the world.
