![]() Stay Alive - The Director's Cut (Widescreen Edition) $14.99 The main thing i liked about this movie was how they tied the history of Elizabeth Bathory(one of my ancsters) into the plot line. However, Eliazbeth WAS NOT AMERICAN! so why was the setting of the film in america!? Lol. She was romanian, and I'm pretty sure she was hungarian as well. The actors were alright, but, why frankie muinz? oh god. Lol! over all, my dvd arrived a few days after ordering it, brand new. AND IT WAS NOT BOOTLEGGED. ![]() Stay Alive $13.95 One of my friends had this game when I was a kid. It's a fun game. I got it for my kids and it's one of their favorites. Oddly, it's not a very easy game to find at the retail stores. The nice thing about that though is that it make a great gift to give to their friends (which we have done several times now) because their friends are not likely to have this one in their game closet already (yay). ![]() Pulse (Unrated Widescreen Edition) $12.95 I was disappointed in the negative reviews of Pulse, I can't deny I loved this film. Sure it's another American remake of an Asian horror film, but that's not necessarily a bad thing when it's done well. People complained this film had a jumbled plot and it was boring, it does have a jumbled plot, but I really got into it from the get-go. Still, I would have to caution anyone who watches it, but if you like horror films that are out of the ordinary, Pulse is a good rent. WHAT IT'S ABOUT: Matty and her friends are basically normal college kids. Between studying, there's their active social life through hanging out, texting, and talking to each other in chatrooms online. But Matty notices something strange about her boyfriend Josh; he isn't acting like himself and doesn't return her calls. When she goes over to his apartment to investigate, it's a filthy mess, and then Josh suddenly hangs himself with a phone chord. No one knows exactly why he killed himself, but answers start to pop up when a guy named Dexter buys Josh's old computer from the apartment. He finds a video showing different people killing themselves on a webcam and that Josh kept a video diary. Meanwhile, Matty's life is going straight to hell. People are disappearing and another person commits suicide when she's around. Then her friends start dying around her after being attacked by cyber ghosts that are infecting computers all over the world. Now Matty and Dexter must unravel what's going on, why, and how to stop it. MUSIC: This music has a nice creepy vibe that fits well with it. Too bad it comes and goes and isn't there all the time. ACTION: This film actually provides a sense of fear and dread and is executed quite well. I loved the special effects used in this film and really liked how the set pieces for the film were designed along with the ghosts. This is one of the few horror films that actually gave me a true sense of fear and dread. ACTING: The actors seemed fairly convincing, even the lead actress Kristen Bell was good, something that can be rarely said about women in horror films. She seemed very convincing and played her role quite well. For the most part the actors were good, and any actors that weren't quite on par with the good ones died off quickly. However, there were some moments of bad acting and dialogue, but not from the main characters. Overall, the acting is quite good. OVERALL: Rental. I loved this film, but people are mixed about it. If you're tired of the usual crappy slasher films, then Pulse may provide a good time. THE GOOD: The acting, the music, the moments that fill you with despair, the set and monster designs, and the special effects. THE BAD: The film does get a bit boring and some moments of bad acting and dialogue. ![]() Stay Alert, Stay Alive: The Techniques and Mechanics of Arrest, 1965 $10.95 Experience the American Journey through our country's visual heritage in this historical recording provided by the National Archives of the United States.A law enforcement training film on how to safely and efficiently arrest criminals.
