I am 20 minutes into the first film right now and I am not really engaged. Davis is entertaining though.

Aniston looks great though, right?

Honestly, I find the first to be the least interesting. It doesn't really know what kind of film it wants to be yet at this point in the franchise. It attempts to use traditional horror tropes, but then branches out into something else with only moderate success. It's worth a watch for sure, but the later entries give up trying to be scary and just go for straight horror comedy and as such are more enjoyable on a "turn off your brain" sort of way. Don't write off the whole series based on part 1. I find part 3 to be the most enjoyable of the first 3 films.

I am not a big fan of Aniston overall, but this is definitely the best I have ever seen her look. Imagine if she never hit it big with Friends? She probably would have bared all in some z grade horror film sooner or later.

I would trade all 10 seasons of Friends for that.

[Show spoiler]Not really, but I can dream

I must admit I'm not too crazy for the first two Leprechaun movies either. My go-to is definitely part 3. When I'm bored that's the one I throw on. Its like comfort food, imo. I revisted 4 recently and really liked it. I'm starting to enjoy "In Space" sequels better looking back on them.

I enjoy the film, but the story that could have been shown is far more interesting compared to what was shown. Having only watched parts 1-3 part 3 has been my favorite by far.

Yes. I agree with these observations. I guess for me, I just really enjoyed the cast of part two. All really likeable characters, I thought. Surely there was more room for development of the initial story arc, but I think the overall humor of this particular offering was quite good.
Part three I definitely recall as being one of the best, although I've only seen it twice, once relatively recently.

Agreed. Way more attractive as a brunette.

Look at the difference in brightness between Leprechaun 2 & Leprechaun In The Hood (click on 2 minute previews for both).

Leprechaun 2 looks very similar to the first Arachnophobia release which was also overly bright but was corrected and re-released shortly after.

Who do I contact to get this fixed before release? (I've already tried Lionsgate enquiries but haven't recieved a reply).

I ended up enjoying the first Leprechaun as dumb fun. I am halfway through Leprechaun 2 right now and I actually like this one slightly more. Now I just have to track down the other movies. I especially want to see the one in space! I still remember my friends raving about that when it came out.

I know what you mean about comfort food. I'm way more fond of the first 3 than I should be, simply because I saw them when I was like 9-10 and I actually thought they were scary back then. They're not nearly comfort food on the level of the Friday the 13ths (or not even close to the quality either), but I really enjoy those early ones. I'd probably go 1, 3, 2. 4 is pretty hard to watch and I don't revisit it because I have no nostalgia for it. The Hood films are ok.

I wonder what's taking so long? I mean, "Origins" is available for pre-order. I thought they would have gone up about the same time.

It's definitely bizarre. I wish they'd hurry up and list it already. I've got store credit there I want to use

[HeartPalmeiras]

I wonder if this is walmart only release or soemthing? i mean, it is just so weird that amazon hasn't got it for preorder yet. i preordered it with walmart, but will cancel it in a second if amazon eventually lists it. and yeah, origens is already listed.

If it was a Wal-Mart exclusive then it would say so. You could always order it through Wal-Mart.com either way unless you have Amazon.com Prime or something that your waiting to use it for.

Thus proving it's not Walmart exclusive. Now WTF is Amazon doing!? I want my damn Prime shipping. Has anyone emailed them?

Do they charge now or when the item ships? I'd prefer now so that I can space out Septembers purchases.
