The Amityville Horror
Release Date: 4/5/05
OK, don't lie, this movie scared the hell out of you the first time you saw it didn't it? Especially since it was "Based on a true story." Well, with the information provided to us by the internet, even the most casual of research shows that this movie is actually based on a made up story concocted by a man trying to grab some headlines. The TRUE Amityville horror happened to the family that lived in the famous house BEFORE the people the film is based on, but I digress.
This is a classic supernatural/haunted house horror flick that should be in everyone's collection. Go and buy it or your house might get filled with 25,000 flies.The Greatest American Hero: Season Two
Release Date: 4/5/05
This was one of my favorite TV shows as a kid. It's basically the story of a regular guy who gets picked by aliens to fight crime via a special suit that basically makes him a super hero. The catch? He loses the instruction manual so he doesn't know how the suit works. One of the funniest visuals of the entire series is when the only way he can balance himself while flying is by holding the big 9 volt battery powered flashlights in each hand. I LOVE this show!The A-Team Season Two
Release Date: 4/12/05
Seriously, do I even need to explain why you need to own this? I didn't think so.Knight Rider: Season Two
Release Date: 4/12/05
KITT returns! This was one of my other favorites TV shows growing up. That car just rocked!Sledge Hammer: Season Two
Release Date: 4/12/05
What would you get if you crossed Dirty Harry with Weird Al? Sledge Hammer! This show was hilarious in a totally obnoxiously over the top kind of way.House of Flying Daggers
Release Date: 4/19/05
Another utterly gorgeous film from the director of Hero. Yimou Zhang makes films that are as beautiful as Ong-Bak is violent. This film is visually brilliant and on the off chance that you need any more motivation to buy it then just remember, Ziyi Zhang is undeniably yummy.License to Drive
Release Date: 4/19/05
As much as I tried for years to deny it, I'm a child of the 80's. I listen to bands like Anthrax and Megadeth, I have a certain fondness for the all the cool toys frommy childhood, and I LOVE bad 80's movies. And License to Drive is amoung the best of the worst.Meet the Fockers
Release Date: 4/19/05
OK, so Meet the Fockers is a little formulaic. Who cares it's still funny as hell. I walked into this movie with really high expectations having loved the first film so much and fortunately I wasn't let down. If you liked Meet the Parents at all then you really owe it to yourself to get this one.That 70's Show: Season Two
Release Date: 4/19/05
One of the few sit-coms of the past decade that I truely enjoy. You know you love this show. You know that you want to buy it. So go on, help stimulate the economy. Otherwise, the terrorists win.Blade Trinity: Unrated Version
Release Date: 4/26/05
OK, so this isn't the greatest movie in the Blade trilogy. It's not even the second greatest. It is still an ass kickin good time though and with Ryan Reynolds' whit and Jessica Biel's body can you really think of any good reason to not buy it? I didn't think so. But while you're here, don't forget to check out the review.
