Planet 51, a review by dfmorgan
Year: 2009 Director: Jorge Blanco Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Jessica Biel, Justin Long, Gary Oldman, Seann William Scott, John Cleese Overview: When Chuck the astronaut (Dwayne Johnson) lands on a distant planet filled with little green people, he is surprised to discover that we are not alone in the galaxy. He gets the shock of his life when the residents of Planet 51 mistakenly believe that his presence is the start of an alien invasion of the human kind! Luckily Lem (Justin Long) quickly realises that Chuck is friendly and makes it his personal mission to help him return safely to his ship - with the help of Chuck's trusty pal Rover. Watched: 1st Apr 2010 My Thoughts: A rather enjoyable animated science fiction comedy. There were lots of references to other science fiction films throughout this film, my favourite was the pet alien. There were no real surprises and nothing really spectacular just generally enjoyable. I thought the voices came over well in their roles although I failed miserably to recognise a couple. My Rating: An enjoyable 3 ![]() Dave (From Dave's DVD/Blu-ray Reviews on April 1st, 2010) Miracle on 34th Street, a review by addicted2dvd
My Thoughts: I recorded this one off of cable. While enjoyable... this remake just does not compare to the classic. It is missing a lot of the charm that made the original version so good. I also didn't care for the change to the ending of the court case in this one. I won't be in too much of a hurry to adding this one to my DVD Collection. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 ![]() ![]() ![]() (From Addicted2DVD's 25 Days of Christmas Marathon: 2010 on December 22nd, 2010) Tom's Random Reviews, a review by Tom
Stars: Plot:VarietyGone Baby Gone), a cameo from Ricky Gervais (The Invention of Lying) and an unforgettable hour-long season finale with Jim Carrey (Bruce Almighty), Will Arnett (Arrested Development), Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond), James Spader (Boston Legal) and Catherine Tate (Doctor Who), all vying for Michael Scott's old post. Plus, see hours of bonus features, including extended episodes, deleted scenes, bloopers, webisodes and more, in this must-own five-disc collection. Awards: Won:

My Thoughts: This season had a slow start, but it turned out great again. This is the season where Steve Carell left the show towards the end. The storyline they have given him to write him out of the show was the right way to go.Also Ricky Gervais finally made two cameo appearances this season as David Brent. In the first he ran across Michael Scott and was joking with him. The second was a Video CV where he applies for the manager job after Michael Scott left. I would have liked him interacting with the complete Office cast though. Will Ferrell had a few episodes where he had taken over from Michael. He did a good job. Sadly Pam and Jim didn't get a good storyline this season. I always liked their scenes together.
