Family Plot , a review by Dragonfire
(From Alfred Hitchcock Marathon on August 22nd, 2010) The Proposal , a review by addicted2dvd
Stars: Sandra Bullock as Margaret Tate Ryan Reynolds as Andrew Paxton Mary Steenburgen as Grace Paxton Craig T. Nelson as Joe Paxton Betty White as Grandma Annie Denis O'Hare as Mr. Gilbertson Plot: Sandra Bullock is at her funniest in the fresh, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy The Proposal. On the verge of being deported and losing the high-powered job she lives for, the controlling Margaret announces she's engaged to her unsuspecting, put-upon assistant Andrew (Ryan Reynolds). After proposing a few demands of his own, the mismatched couple heads to Alaska where they have four short days to convince his quirky family and a very skeptical immigration agent that their charade is real. Featuring a star-studded supporting cast, including Mary Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson and the delightfully inappropriate Betty White, this madcap comedy will have you saying "yes" to The Proposal again and again. Extras:
My Thoughts: I enjoy this one very much. It helps that I am a fan of both Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. I think the funniest scene in the entire movie was the shower/running into each other naked scene. Basically the only scene I actually laughed at in the movie. But I do believe a romantic comedy isn't so much about actual laugh out loud moments. More about a lighthearted look at falling in love. Sure... the ending is predictable. But once again I believe that is to be expected with romantic comedies as they are not about the ending... going in we expect the ending... it is about the journey of how they get to that point. Over-all looking at this movie I just find a fun story. I enjoyed both Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds...but I do think they wasted the talents of Betty White. They could have done a better job on her character. Though it was kinda funny seeing her dancing and chanting in the woods.My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 (From Tuesday Mini-Marathon: Happy Birthday Sandra Bullock! on July 26th, 2011) Tom's TV Pilots marathon, a review by Tom

And now the evil villains of Townsville quake in fear as the girls soar through the air, battling even the most nefarious no-good-doers! Mojo Jojo, The Amoeba Boys, The Gangreen Gang, and even The Boogie Man are no match for sugar, spice, and everything nice! The Powerpuff Girls 1.01 Insect Inside/Powerpuff Bluff Writer: Michael Ryan (Writer) Director: Genndy Tartakovsky, Craig McCracken, Genndy Tartakovsky, Craig McCracken Cast: Tom Kenny (Narrator/Mayor/Mr. Cooper (voice)), Tom Kane (Professor/Talking Dog/Man (voice)), Tara Charendoff (Bubbles (voice)), Catherine Cavadini (Blossom (voice)), E.
