I use a random number generator at http://www.random.org/integers/  to choose which movie I will watch next and fate would have it that I would watch a second Richard Gere movie in a row.

First off....... yes, I watch chick flicks.  The purchase of the 2% of these movies makes it easier to justify the purchase of the other 98% to my wife. 

This genre is Gere's bread and butter and once again he delivers. My wife was all agush during and well after the movie ended. The story was good even if the ending was predictable. Fortunately for me Diane Lane is still very much eye candy even as she enters middle age and I could think of worse things than watching her for 90 minutes. I rather enjoyed this movie but it left me asking one question. When did Scott Glenn, who has a bit part in this movie, get so old??!

"Big Bang Theory" Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

9. The Cooper-Hofstadter Polarization
Leonard and Sheldon go from physics to fisticutts when tempers flare at the symposium.

My Thoughts:
Another really funny episode... had to love the little so called fight between Leonard and Sheldon. But also... had to love the remote controllable cars all chasing Penny.

10. The Loobenfeld Decay
Sheldon cannot tell a lie. He has to tell at least seven. And they are all "un-unravelable!"

My Thoughts:
This one is another fun one. Both Brittany and I were laughing out loud during the whole episode. The extent Sheldon goes to for a lie is unbelievable.

11. The Pancake Batter Anomaly
Everyone knows to head to the hills when Sheldon gets sick. Everyone except Penny, that is.

My Thoughts:
OMG... talk about becoming a baby when you get sick. This is one more thing that Sheldon takes to an extreme. Definitely a good episode... had many laughs while watching it.
