The Munsters: Two-Movie Fright Fest - (Franchise Collection) - (Munster, Go Home! & The Munsters' Revenge)
$14.98
The Munsters are good for lots of laughs from these movies that are almost nonstop dumb jokes & gags. The script, music, and much of the acting leave a lot to be desired, but Herman (Frankenstein's monster) makes up for it.
The first movie, Munster Go Home, was the best. It has a haunted mansion, a road race, a family feud, young love, and crooks. It's quite clean and I believe kids will enjoy it. The kisses aren't quick pecks, in case that bothers you. Herman also mentioned wanting to get stoned at a party, which is quickly vetoed by his wife.
The Munsters' Revenge was a little disappointing. Museum monsters, including replicas of the Munsters, are really robots controlled by thieves. Mother and Son were pretty much left out of the plot that is dominated by Dad and Grandpa. We do get a little more of Spot though. Mother has definitely aged and her neckline has gotten noticeably lower.

Ghost in the Shell: Individual Eleven
$9.99
The Ghost In The Shell: Individual Eleven Movie is Basically Second Gis without the B-Stories or original VA's. While the overall plot and story is good the B-Stories sometimes Gave you Background info not found in the A-story. Why characters disappear and appear with no explanation. if it's still on sale this a worthy purchase but if you liked second Gig You are better off getting the complete season set. the VA's did an OK Job Emulating the voices but you'll notice and miss the Original's.

Jacking in to the Matrix Franchise: Cultural Reception and Interpretation
$14.95
This is far and away the best work on the Matrix films. It is the only one that covers the entire franchise; the films, the games, the pop culture aspects. Doty's introduction is amazing, while the other chapters manage to cover just about every aspect of the series you can imagine.

Highly useful for anyone interested in figuring out which colored pill to take.
