Shizuru secretly loves Makoto, but he only has eyes for another girl. After Shizuru asks Makoto to kiss her in the forest to create the perfect picture, Shizuru disappears!

A wonderful movie. Aoi Miyazaki, who I know as one of the leads from the movie "NANA", is great and really adorable as the child-like Shizuru. I enjoyed the movie throughout. Although I have to admit I was thrown by the ending.

This movie is a double-dip for me. When you read my old review for this, you will see that I talked a lot more about how horrible the transfer is, than I did about the movie. Now Rapid Eyes Movie released it, who is reliable to bring decent transfers of Bollywood movie. This is no exception. I am glad I double-dipped.

I still enjoyed the movie as much as I did the first time around. Maybe even more so. Rani and Shah Rukh were great as always.
My favorite song from this movie is Minnat Kare, which I bought a long time ago on iTunes and still enjoy listening to it.

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Farscape



What's the show about?
John Chrichton is the only human being in a strange part of the universe. There he meets the strangest of aliens and tries to find a way back home. The show never seemed to have a road map but instead seemed to base on the concept "what hilarious idea do put in writing for next week"?

"Premiere"
John Chrichton is an IASA astronaut and he tries to prove a theory. For that he conducts a low orbit experiment that goes wrong. He accidentally opens a wormhole that brings John Chrichton in a totally unkown part of the universe. He lands on a prison transport that has just been taken over by the prisoners.

My Opinion
That show is freaking hilarious. Loved every bit of it. I was really grateful that they made the fifth season, even if it was an abridged version.
