Plot:
Bring home the must-own romantic comedy of the year, filled with wildly funny twists and turns! When Beth, an unlucky-in-love New York curator (Kristen Bell), takes a whirlwind trip to Rome for her sister's wedding, an unexpected crush takes her by surprise. Quickly let down, she defiantly plucks coins from the Fontana de Amore, magically igniting the passions of some comically unsuitable suitors. As a charming reporter (Josh Duhamel) becomes zealously smitten, Beth is skeptical that he's the real deal. Don't miss hilarious performances from an all-star cast you'll want to see again and again, plus exclusive Blu-ray bonus material featuring an alternate opening and ending.

This is a film I got cheap at Big Lots recently. I picked this one up because I been a fan of Kristen Bell since her Veronica Mars days. I enjoyed this film... but I definitely seen better Romantic Comedies. It is a cute idea.. I just think it could have been handled a bit better. Kristen Bell was great in this... and I like that they had Danny DeVito as one of the coin owners. Definitely worth a watch... but don't go in expecting too much.

Lakeview Terrace, a review by addicted2dvd

Lakeview Terrace
A young couple (Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington) has just moved into their California dream home when they become the target of their next-door neighbor, who disapproves of their relationship. A stern, single father, this tightly wound LAPD officer (Samuel L. Jackson) has appointed himself the watchdog of the neighborhood. His nightly foot patrols and overly watchful eyes bring comfort to some, but he becomes increasingly aggressive to the newlyweds. These persistent intrusions into their lives cause the couple to fight back.

Stars:
Kerry Washington
Samuel L. Jackson
Jay Hernandez
Patrick Wilson

My Thoughts:
This one I watched on Starz On-Demand. It is one I enjoyed quite a bit. I did find the beginning a little slow but that is to be expected with this story line. And it really does work for it. Samuel L. Jackson done a great job as always. I am definitely planning on adding this one to my collection.

NCIS Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

1. KILL ARI (PART I)
Gibbs and the NCIS team must confront their emotions about Kate's death at the hands of Ari, renowned terrorist who may have ties to new NCIS agent Ziva David. Meanwhile, Jenny Shepard, a woman from Gibbs' past, is introduced as the new director of NCIS.

My Thoughts:
This is a good opening to the season. I liked that they got to somewhat deal with their feelings of the lost of the teammate. And I like the couple of new characters we got with the start of the new season.

My Rating: 4

2. KILL ARI ( PART II)
Ducky is kidnapped, and Gibbs tries to avenge Kate's death in a showdown with Ari.

My Thoughts:
A good ending to the 3rd season opener. I like how Ziva is so different then Kate. I think it would have been a mistake replacing her with a similar character.

My Rating: 4

3. MIND GAMES
Three days before a serial killer is executed, Gibbs tries to get him to reveal where the bodies of his victims are buried.

My Thoughts:
An excellent episode. I have enjoyed this one with every viewing. It really has a good and suspenseful storyline.

My Rating: 5

4. SILVER WAR
The NCIS team discovers that a man found encased in a Civil War-era tomb was buried alive.

My Thoughts:
A good... but somewhat standard episode. Though I do like the whole Cival War re-enactment thing... especially Tony's dislike for the whole thing.

My Rating: 4
