Popcorn & Coffee: Possessed By Evil: 5 Movie Collection




Rated R; 452 minutes; $9.98; Amazon; Mill Creek Ent.


I believe I might have mentioned about my love for horror flicks on here a time or two. I grew up watching 80s slasher flicks during my childhood, so I guess you can say that I've been disappointed with all the recent PG-13 slasher films. That being said, I was happy to hear that Mill Creek Entertainment was releasing another 5 movie collection, this time called Possessed By Evil, featuring five rated-R horror flicks.

The two-disc set contains:

Devour  - Released in 2005, and directed by David Winkler, the film stars the CW's Supernatural star Jensen Ackles as a college students who starts having strange nightmares about self-mutilation and murder after playing an online game.

Devour (89 minutes)

The Plague - Directed by Hal Masonberg and produced by Clive Barker, The Plague (also known as Clive Barker's The Plague) was released in 2006. The film centers on a weird event that causes all the children in a small town to fall into a catatonic state in 1983. Following the event, every child born has a similar fate. Fast-forward to 1993, where the children go on a killing rampage. James Van Der Beek and Dee Wallace stars in the film.

The Plague (88 minutes)

Wind Chill - Directed by Gregory Jacobs, the 2007 chilling supernatural thriller stars Emily Blunt and Ashton Holmes. The plot centers on an unnamed college student (played by Blunt) agreeing to share traveling expenses with a unnamed male (played by Holmes) as they drive from Pennsylvania to Delaware for Christmas vacation. Despite the bad snowy weather, they take a detour down a highway, and they end up a hit-and-run. With the weather getting colder, they try to survive, but things get worse when a supernatural force stars haunting the highway.

Wind Chill (91 minutes)

Popcorn & Coffee: Miami Vice Season One & Season Two


Not Rated; 1118 minutes; $14.98; Amazon; Mill Creek Ent.
While there are plenty of police procedures still on television, none of them are as action-packed as the 1984-1989 Miami Vice. Created by Anthony Yerkovich, the crime-drama starred Don Johnson and Phillip Michael Thomas.

From 2005 thru 2007, Universal Studios Home Entertainment released individual season sets as well as a complete series set. Last month, Mill Creek Entertainment released Miami Vice: Season One and Miami Vice: Season Two DVD sets, featuring new cover arts for the DVD jackets. There are no special features or extras on the sets.

Miami Vice centered on Miami Vice Squad detective James "Sonny" Crockett (played by Don Johnson) who witnesses the death of his partner Eddie Rivera (played Jimmy Smits) while he was investigating the Colombian drug dealer, Esteban Calderone. He teams up with a a New York narcotics detective Rafael Tubbs (played by Phillip Michael Thomas) to help him take down Calderone. Tubbs has his own personal vendetta - to avenge his brother's death. By the end of the 96-minute pilot episode, Tubbs decides to join the "Southern Law Enforcement" as Crockett's new partner.

The series is famous for using a wide-range of popular music from the 80s as well as featuring sports cars,
boats, and stylish men's fashion. The show as also known for using brand name firearms and accessories. While the series was extremely popular with audiences, it was heavily criticized for the amount of violence that was featured in each episode.

Find Out the Best Smart DNS for You

Domain Name Servers (DNS) are considered the phone books of the Internet. In fact, they maintain small or extensive directories of domain names and translate them to Internet Protocol (IP addresses). This is essential since most people simply cannot remember or keep track of their favorite domain names. Computers and machines also access websites via IP addresses, which saves a lot of time on searching for URLs and domains. With this in mind, finding the best smart DNS for your online music storage and file playing does not have to be a time-consuming and tedious affair.


Comparing DNS Servers

With the digital age upon us, there are countless DNS servers that specialize in online music files and sharing. While some are limited to the number of shares and downloads allowed – others allow users to modify settings as desired. With so many DNS servers available, however, does one select the right server application to achieve desired results? According to industry experts, it simply comes down to storage capacities and bandwidth.

In fact, these vital aspects should serve as foundations for your searches. Correlation between computers and music server sites needs to be addressed as well. For example: certain PCs may not be able to fully reap the benefits of servers with larger bandwidths. Similarly, systems with low memory settings may need upgrading to enable optimal correlation and speed. The key to downloading and uploading music files is simply sufficient speed – and the ability to bypass any server maintenance or updates happening in the background. As a result, it is important to compare existing DNS servers before making a worthwhile and informed decision.
