Plot:
Jane's mom (Stockard Channing) assumes her daughter is just like every other sixteen-year-old girl - a little confused about growing up. Jane (Ellen Muth) figures her mom is just like every other mom - a little too protective, but loving. They figure they have a good relationship, until Jane falls in love with the new girl at school. Jane knows she is gay but her mom is completely unwilling to accept this fact. Their mother-daughter relationship is broken unless they can find a way to remember how much they love each other.

This is a TV Movie that originally aired on Lifetime. This is part of a 3 TV movie set I just got yesterday. And was the one I wanted to see the most in the set. As I like both Stockard Channing and Ellen Muth. This is the first thing I see Ellen Muth in other the her series Dead Like Me. The first thing I noticed is the narration from Ellen Muth. It instantly made me think of her series... as the series is done the same way. I felt that they did a wonderful job with this film. It felt realistic and I must say it broke my heart seeing how much trouble the mother had accepting the idea her daughter is a lesbian. To me a parent should be nothing but accepting and behind their child no matter what... as long as they are healthy and happy. Sure it means they are going to have a tougher time in life. I am not blind... I can see that. But it is a parent's job to help their child through the tough times in their lives...not add to them. Anyway, I enjoyed every moment of this movie. Despite it being pure drama (not a favorite genre). Well worth the time put in to watch it.

I was entertained by great action as one comes to expect from the Predator franchise but really it's just more of the same. I get it already... the Predators love the thrill of the hunt and are always raising the bar in terms of the skills of their prey but from a race of highly skilled, highly intelligent beings with sensational technology there has to be some other story to explore there. Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for a Predator love story but there has to be some other yarn to spin besides the same old trophy hunting plot.

I have a hard time envisioning Adrien Brody as a badass. I can never quite shake the image of him playing a truly pathetic sap in The Pianist. They should have went with a different lead there. Also I would have enjoyed a more prolonged battle between the Predator & The Yakuza. It was over too fast and was a little too dark to really enjoy.

Overall still quite entertaining although I believe a little re-invention is required in this franchise.

Doctor Who Marathon, a review by Tom

Doctor Who
Series 2.02 Tooth and Claw
Writer: Russell T Davies (Writer)
Director: Euros Lyn
Cast: David Tennant (The Doctor), Billie Piper (Rose Tyler), Pauline Collins (Queen Victoria), Ian Hanmore (Father Angelo), Michelle Duncan (Lady Isobel), Derek Riddell (Sir Robert), Jamie Sives (Captain Reynolds), Ron Donachie (Steward), Thomas J. Smith (The Host), Ruthie Milne (Flora)

Not one of my favorites. I don't think that Doctor Who and a werewolf story fit together. This episode shows the foundation of the Torchwood institute.
