While a fairly new animated feature (2010)... this is a bit of a blast from the past for me. As I haven't seen a Tom and Jerry cartoon since I was a kid! This is a pretty fun one. It is entertaining enough to keep your attention through-out. And the Sherlock Holmes storyline was a nice touch... though I am a fan of the character anyway. I feel this is a nice little time waster. Worth checking out if you enjoy Tom and Jerry cartoons.

First let me state that I never read the comic... so I can not compare the two. I have been told various things about the comic so do know the differences here... but that is about it. When watching I was a little surprised that you don't even see the Joker till half way through the film. While I enjoyed the film... I definitely seen better Batman animated movies. I think this one could have been hyped a little too much for me before seeing it. What happened between Batgirl and Batman at the beginning of the movie seemed a bit on the weird side to me... but didn't bother me as much as some people. Over all a decent watch... worth the time... but don't get your hopes up too much for it.

"Friends" Marathon, a review by Rogmeister

Finishing up season one of Friends...

The One Where The Monkey Gets Away--Rachel petsits Ross' monkey Marcel but leaves the apartment door open and the monkey escapes.  This episode has some good moments including an appearance by goofy neighbor Mr. Heckles.

The One With The Evil Orthodontist--Rachel has an encounter with her ex-fiance Barry.  Jennifer Grey guests as Mindy, Rachel's one-time friend who is now Barry's fiance.

The One With Fake Monica--Monica's credit card is stolen and she then realizes that the "fake" Monica is doing everything she wishes she could...so she finds her and becomes friends with her.  This is okay, nothing special in my opinion.

One of these episodes (I forget which one now) has Phoebe going to work temporarily for Chandler where she reveals no one at the office likes Chandler and says "They even do you" and we are introduced to Chandler's unique way of speaking..."Could that report be any later?" 
The One With The Ick Factor--Monica discovers that the guy she's dating, who she thought was a senior in college really is a senior...in high school.  Another okay episode which ends with the impending birth of Ross and Carol's son.

The One With The Birth--Yes, it's time for a birth...always a hit on sitcoms.  Things get a bit complicated when Ross, Phoebe and Susan wind up getting locked in a supply room as Carol is about to give birth.  Guest-stars include Leah Remini as a pregnant woman Joey assists. 

The One Where Rachel Finds Out--While Ross is leaving on a trip to China, Chandler lips slip out to Rachel that Ross is in love with her.  This is the season finale and sets the stage for the whole Ross-Rachel situation for seasons to come.  At the end, Rachel is off to the airport to see Ross who is returning from China...not realizing that Ross is not returning alone.
