"Urban Legends: Final Cut" akas: "Urban Legends 2: Final Cut" (UK: DVD title) akas: "Leyenda Urbana 2" (spanish speaking countries)
Plot:
This non-sequel sequel (better said a "spin-off") of 1998's smash slasherfest hit "Urban Legend" tells the story of Amy Mayfireld (Jennifer Morrison from "Stir Of Echoes") a film student who is trying to find the best story for her thesis film for the Hitchcock award competition, then when she meets the new security guard of the school Reese Wilson (Loretta Devine, from UL1), Reese tells her about what happened in Pendleton, then Amy think that has found the best story for her thesis film. In the next morning Amy tells to his professor (Hart Bochner from Die Hard) that her thesis film will be about a serial killer basing his murders on urban legends and then the professor approves her idea. Then Amy starts to write the script and starts to shoots the movie with her crew; the lesbian boom operator Vanessa (Eva Mendes), the bad acting girl Sandra (Jessica Cauffiel), the F/X jokers Stan and Dirk (Anthony Anderson and Michael Bacall respectively) and the son of an Hollywood actor (i think so) Graham (Joey Lawrence). Then when Amy starts the shooting of the film she discovers that her friend Travis (Matt Davis) committed suicide and that someone is killing the crew of her movie. She'll discover that is being victimized by a maniac serial killer, she must stop him and unmask him until she becomes the last victim of a new urban legend.
DVD Review:
Recently got the DVD (region 4) edition, i got it on my birthday (last week) and i saw it and it was a good DVD edition and it included 7 deleted scenes not seen in the theatrical print, trailers of UL2, UL1, IKWYDLS and ISKWYDLS and audio commentary of John Ottman. The DVD region 4 has english/spanish/portuguese subtitles and english/spanish/portuguese audio track.
Movie Review:
Urban Legends: Final Cut was a great follow up of 1998's slasher hit Urban Legend, but I consider this sequel as an spin-off because the movie has only 1 returning character; Reese the security guard who is a Pam Grier fan; and no one of the main characters of the first returns in this one but there's a BIG SURPRISE at the very ending of the movie that UL fans loved. The new cast did a great job on making this movie more fun than the first one, and the movie had far more suspense than the first (well, the first film's suspense was EXTREME and this one is a bit less extreme). I recommend to any UL fans to buy the DVD.
P.S.: this DVD edition is almost the same as Region 1.
DVD: 4/5. Movie: 8/10.

"Josie And The Pussycats" is one of the funniest cartoon shows I've ever seen, it was released in the decade that appeared one of the most popular cartoon shows in that time - yes i'm talking 'bout Scooby-Doo -, the real star and show stealer is Alexandra Cabot (well known in Latin America as Alejandra Cabot), she is the funniest character of the TV and she makes the show funnier than his brother Alex. The show is now showed on Cartoon Network Latin america's new channel Boomerang.
Also other of the most funniest parts of the show is the wacky cat Sebastian.

Valentine (2001) Rating: *** 1/2. Starring: Denise Richards, David Boreanaz, Marley Shelton, Jessica Capshaw, Jessica Cauffiel and Katherine Heigl. Directed by: Jamie Blanks. Distribuited by: Warner Brothers, Village Roadshow Pictures and NVP Entertaiment.
In 1996, "Scream" awakened the teen horror genre with new formulas for scare people and worked, i loved that film and after came the great sequels and after that came some movies with the same formulas of "Scream" like 1997's horror hit "I Know What You Did Last Summer", 1998's slasher hit "Urban Legends". Both movies got sequels that i respectively loved but both movies didn't like to some people.
This time it takes the not-so-teen slasher thriller "Valentine", directed by Urban Legend's Jamie Blanks and starring some very well known stars like Wild Things' starrer Denise Richards, TV's Angel star David Boreanaz, and TV's "Roswell" star Katherine Heigl and also stars some actors that aren't very well known like Kate Capshaw's daughter Jessica Capshaw and "Urban Legends 2" Jessica Cauffiel.
It tells the story about a group of girls in their 20s being terrorized by a serial killer who turns out to be the nerdy kid that they terrorized in the sixth grade taking revenge of them. The movie manages some cool scares and cool deaths. The acting is very good, the almost newcomer Marley Shelton gives a great acting and knows something to be thrilled, althought Denise Richards gives a such moderate bad/good acting. The script would have been better with some better dialogues, but Jamie Blanks' directing is extremely excellent like his previous film "Urban Legend". The killer is pretty scarier than hell like Michael Myers. In this movie you don't know what weapon he will use in time of killing, is cooler!
I recommend you to keep in the edge to the movie and I give *** 1/2 stars.
