*If you love a great romantic movie you don't want to miss this movie!*

All I can say for those of you who have not seen the movie yet.. Sandra and Keanu are fantastic together on screen. The chemistry is definitely there. This is a romantic/drama you will want to see again and again. i I have seen it a few times. I've seen "Somewhere in Time" and I think this tops that by far. Don't miss out on some truly wonderful acting. I watched "Speed" released in 1994 12 years ago, which was the last movie these two starred in to be prepared for the development I knew I would see on screen. They both proved equal to the task. I laughed, I cried and left the theater totally satisfied. It was well worth the wait. I wish these two could do more film projects....together, they definitely seem comfortable with each other.

My Score: 8/10.

Character error
In the newspaper article about Mike his last name is McKay, but later when we meet Mike's girlfriend she has a box holding Mike's personal belongings and it is labeled McMillan, M. indicating that Mike's last name is McMillan.

The missing person poster lists Mike's age as 26. Zoe Sharp, the first victim, was Mike's birth mother, who had died 20 years earlier (according to Captain Connors) while Mike was still a baby (according to Mike's girlfriend). This would make Mike only 20 years old, 21 at the most.

*Spoilers*
Shawn is able to discover that Mort Crocker is Mike McMillan's biological father due to Mr. Crocker's longstanding prescription for biotin. However, biotin is a dietary supplement used for hair and nail growth that can easily be purchased over the counter. No prescription should be necessary, and someone who has taken biotin regularly should know this.

Mission: Impossible III

Fast-paced action thriller

Well, this was straight to the point. Good old Cruise returning as Ethan Hunt is what you will see here. Action consisting of explosions, clever bombs, helicopter chases, flashbacks to True Lies without spoiling too much, evil villains, heartbreaking stunts and a pretty okay script is what you can expect.

Some predictable scenes, but the fast paced action made the effort worth it with some very welcome ideas. You also got to love the scenery. Berlin, Vatikan and China is refreshing to see.

007 look out, hard to match this one!

Long time since I had such fun at Home. 7/10!

Meet the Parents

Great Comedy

Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) is a male nurse, poised to propose to the woman he loves, Pam (Teri Polo) but the right thing to do would be to ask her father's permission first. During a weekend of getting to know them, he manages to make a strong impression; for all the wrong reasons. Her father (Robert De Niro) isn't quite what Greg has been led to believe, and right from the start he seems to have it in for his daughter's partner.

De Niro and Stiller play off each other brilliantly, and both of them give fine comic performances, with a surprising level of depth for comedy characters. This film is packed with slick gags, hilarious scenes and it has a really fun story; it's a comedy film that you don't want to miss.

Payback

The best adaption of a Parker novel so far (although he is called "Porter" here) and a great Neo-Noir. This is one of Gibson's best roles as he's not playing the same old charming guy, instead being a not so nice guy, particularly for a protagonist. There are two versions of this movie and they are very different with a totally different third act which had a different cast of antagonists. Both versions are great and can be enjoyed as separate movies.

Two Weeks Notice

I see this movie on Netflix and have got it in my normal rotation (along with others I like). I thought that the pairing of Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock worked very well. I did not enjoy this movie for it's social significance, that's not what I watch movies for. If you enjoy adult humor and can appreciate the nuances then you will find this quite enjoyable. It is Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant at their best. Some of my favorite scenes include the one where Sandra Bullock has eaten too much and has to go to the bathroom while they are stuck on a bridge in New York City. Adding the music "Taking Care Of Business" was really a stroke of genius. The "Bobcat Pretzel" scene was equally funny. The interjection of the appropriate music adds much to the results and norah Jones cameo I loved.

House: 4x15 House's Head (1)

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

I am a great fan of House, but I had grown into it, most(NOT all, some are effin' awesome) episodes were with the regular introductions of patients, the brainstorming and all, it all seemed like it was just one disease after another with a little story sprinkled over it.

I really didn't think I would be blown away by this episode, but then I was. Right from House's lap-dance to the end, it was one freakin' awesome episode. Loved the music, loved the story arcs, and the crash part was just facking brilliant. And the score, Gawd, never have I ever wanted to listened to something as much as this. This is perfection, at its best. This episode shows how House really beats himself to help a loved one of a friend.

The crash scene is proof enough to show that television can produce stuff that can really rival some recent crappy movies ! House M.D., has really changed my perception of TV shows.

HOUSE M.D., PERIOD !

Enlisted

Enjoyable and sweet!!

Let me start off saying that I know next to nothing about the US military so Im purely looking at this from an enjoyment factor. i started this show having no idea really what it was about (or even that it was a comedy) but I found it really fun. it feels like it could verge on being stupid but I haven't found that yet. I love the relationship between the brothers, it's both sweet and cheeky and there's a lot of love there. I also like how they do cover real issues such as how soldiers can feel returning from a war zone. This issue was treated with respect which I approved of. Overall I love it and will definitely keep watching.

Bones: 7x07 The Prisoner in the Pipe

The victim was killed with a paper shiv, yet the murder weapon has no blood on it whatsoever. If it had really been used to kill someone, the paper would have absorbed blood and/or other bodily fluids.

Hush

It's a game of cat and mouse, but while it proceeds as expected in the grand scheme - killer stalking a victim who tries to stay a step ahead - the thrills are in the details.

I think this was a great episode, it provided the neurosis of Sheldon, and the typical family turmoil that exists. The only thing that would've made it perfect, is if they had actually revealed that brisket recipe...c'mon Chuck...it could've been an excellent vanity card! :D.

The Incredibles
Chicago Justice

*Sorry, but...*

I'm so sorry this show only ran for one season then was not renewed. It's interesting that the "Chicago" series was created and intertwines and it gets canceled in 2017.

I like the actors, the procedural component, the direction, and the courtroom scenes. It makes perfect sense to tie this show together with Chicago P.D. I suppose it was canceled due to low viewership.

There are two things that could be changed to make this show better...

1) There is no character development beyond the job. My wife and I always look for the romance behind the scenes. We don't want it to be overwhelming or even more than perhaps 5-10% of the content, but we don't want it to be zero.
2) The storylines are good but they fall apart, almost always. The cases are won in court with inadequate evidence and incomplete development. This, of course, is the crux of the show but it fails.

My score 6/10.

Big Hero 6
The Pacifier

*Funny and heartwarming.*

The Pacifier is a funny family friendly movie that the whole family will enjoy. It is appropriate for all age ranges while still remaining humorous and compelling. I usually do not sit through entire films and was able to easily watch The Pacifier starring Vin Diesel.
Vin Diesel is hired to protect a family of high energy children while their mother goes away for a short time. The film is easy to watch and I found myself smiling several times. Vin Diesel allows himself to be vulnerable but still show a strong heart and compassion. Its worth a watch and we all enjoyed it!

My score 6/10.

Silicon Cowboys

*Surprisingly Enjoyable.*

Really good documentary, notionally about Compaq, but also about managing companies through growth, changing corporate cultures, and the development of the PC industry generally.

Really good research before they filmed. LOTS of footage of the facilities, company gatherings, the factory, ads, and more. And interviewed simply everyone.

Then edited together very well. Hardly any infographics, no voiceover, told very seamlessly by the voices of the interviewees.
I always love these documentaries about tech companies and the Internet and so forth. Having grown up in the 1980s, this feels like such an integral part of my life. I was more computer literate at 14 than I am now at 36...

And Compaq is an important part of that story. Doors were opened for other companies (such as Dell) and really ended the way we think about PCs. I do not equate IBM and PC, and almost never have, due in part to Compaq. Whereas we have never seen this same thing happen to Apple... which strategy works best?

My Score 7/10.

Outbreak

*It could/should have been so much better...*
I actually enjoyed Outbreak from the start although form the first few minutes you could tell it's a B+ movie at the very best.
However the enjoyment diminished dramatically when the good old fashioned Hollywood recipe of the one man army/hero who ignores laws, regulations, procedures, and simply does what comes to his head prevailed.

It did not come as a surprise because it seemed rather odd the fact that you have a VERY GOOD cast (Hoffman, Sunderland, Spacey, Gooding) and whilst I was holding the case at the DVD retailer I noticed the complete lack of press appraisal…or at least there's none in the UK packaging of the film. It might seem an unusual thought but it is very true.

Apart from that it was enjoyable in the very mild sense of the word. Another example that proves how good ingredients (director + cast + storyline) do not always make the perfect recipe.

My Score 5/10.

Falling Inn Love

Come on you guys with the low ratings -- don't be so critical and snobbish. Enjoy the sweet love story and beautiful scenery of New Zealand. The village and the residents were charming. Makes you want to live there. So what if it was somewhat predictable. The lead couple was attractive and made you root for them. The story was simple, entertaining, and satisfying, with a happy ending. As for the film overall, I found it refreshing because there was no swearing and vulgarity.

My Score 6/10.

The Avengers

***Movie is good. But overrated.***

Seriously guys. Its a great action movie, but this should not be in the top 250 list.

*The action was great.
*The story-line, though, was not consistent with the comic books, was decent.
*The special effects were great, as expected.
*The characters were believable.
*On and on, it was an acceptably average movie. Worth spending money.

Watching in 4K TV, but It certainly does not deserve to be in top 250 list and be rated above 8 because its just an average movie.
I am beginning to loose faith in IMDb rating system now.

My Score 7/10.

Lady and the Tramp

A fun and light-hearted reimagining with convincing and cute dogs that doesn't recapture the magic of the original. Great CGI work too.
Makes me want a cocker spaniel and I love the diversity in the cast.

Great remake and glad to see it give opportunities to other actors who are not white for this rendition.

My Score 7/10.
