Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight (1995)
Unbeatable!
"Demon Knight" was a great film, worthy of the Tales From the Crypt title. It's unique storyline combined with great acting and entertaining special effects make this a wonderful watch if you're a fan of the show or not. Once the Cryptkeeper has finished his introduction, we are immediately brought into the action, with a high speed car chase. The front car driven by Brayker, the current Demon Knight, who is sworn to protect that last of seven keys, necessary for demons to take over the world, and take it back to the way everything was before the book of Genesis takes place. The pursuing car holds the Collector, a high ranking demon responsible for receiving the key. Brayker soon flees into a run down motel (ex-church) where he meets a cast of unusual characters, all stuck together, trying to stay alive. Losing the key would result in the demons taking over the world, so these few people hold the fate of the world in a pouch, hopefully able to escape from the Collector and a ensemble of demons. The film is amazing to watch. It's not a really frightening movie, but rather a blend of horror, humour, suspense, and mystery. The performances presented by the actors involved is fun to watch, especially Billy Zane, who plays a Devil like character, who we still feel compelled to adore. Sadler plays Brayker, the Demon Knight, an uptight, paranoid man, on the verge on insanity. A classic cat and mouse chase, the two men hate each other, without actually knowing the other man. The film's a blast to watch. Throughout it you'll have both and grinned and dropped your jaw so frequently that it will hurt. A fantastic film on all counts, 5/5.
Recess Christmas: Miracle on Third Street (2001)
So much better than Recess: School's Out!
I just watched this Recess Christmas video a few hours, originally not sure of what was to be on the tape. I love the show and watch it regularly, but I hated "Recess: School's Out", which I think should be avoided by anyone except little children. If you like the TV show, I can't see any reason why you won't like this featue, as it IS the TV show. This tape is more or less a compilation edition, consisting of four cartoons from the show, and a few minutes in between the 'toons, just to tie the whole thing together.
Basically, if you've seen all the episodes thus far (like me), then you've already seen most of this film, but how's it gonna hurt to see a couple of the cartoons again?
