This is a story about a couple who falls in love (after much pursuing by the man), but after they are married, the woman develops Alzheimer's. The second half of this movie is about how the couple are handling this.

I liked the story itself in this movie, but I didn't much care for the songs. Without them, the movie is a nice romantic movie that I can recommend to watch.

It is nice to see more movies with Kajol again. This is the second movie I have seen which she has made after her baby break (the other was Fanaa which I reviewed recently).

Rating:

El Dorado, a review by addicted2dvd

El Dorado
Legendary producer-director Howard Hawks teams with two equally legendary stars, John Wayne and Robert Mitchum, in this classic Western drama. Mitchum plays to perfection an alcoholic but gutsy sheriff who relentlessly battles the dark side of the wild West, ruthless cattle barons and crooked "bussinessmen". The Duke gives an equally adept performance as the sheriffs old friend who knows his way around a gunfight. Filled with brawling action and humor, El Dorado delivers the goods. James Caan and Ed Asner co-star.

My Thoughts:
This movie was recommended to me several times after I commented how much I enjoyed Rio Bravo. So I was thrilled when my good friend Roger offered to give me the extra copy he had of it so I could check it out. As much as I enjoyed the movie Rio Bravo... I have to say... I enjoyed El Dorado even more! I loved every minute of this movie! It had a terrific story... lots to laugh at... and loaded with lots of great Western  action. And best of all... no singing cowboy... because I just don't care for those singing cowboys. Unfortunately the only extra on this DVD is the Theatrical Trailer. It would have been nice to see a few more extras on this one... but hey... we do collect DVDs for the movies themselves. Everything else is just icing on the cake.

Babylon 5: Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Synopsis: The war spreadens and even on the station fightings are breaking out and Centauri get killed. Sheridan has no choice but to give up Babylon 5's neutrality and order the White Star fleet to fight in the war. He also has to send Delenn back to Minbar to discuss a matter of great importance back there. Meanwhile Lyta and Dr. Franklin discover a secret about the attacking Centauri ships and Londo finds himself in a very uncomfortable position.

My opinion: I liked this episode because it set a storyline in motion that will be contibued in the "Legion of Fire" book trilogy which I liked to read.


Synopsis: The regent has sent all ships away from Centauri Prime and has deactivated the planetary defense systems. When the Drazi and Narn fleet arrives they find the door wide open and they use it to bring destruction upon Centauri Prime. After the regent has died, Londo becomes emperor and surrenders immediately. But this defeat comes at a high price.

My opinion: The Drakh really want to punish the Centauri for what Londo did in the Shadow war. Londo's regency and torment will last 16 years and only with his death his people will become free again. He always wanted the best for his people and he brought the worst to them. He is the tragic figure of this play and for this he is to be pitied.


Synopsis: It finally comes out in the open that Michael is drinking again and he gets consequentially suspended. G'Kar returns from Centauri Prime and is revered as never before and his only wish is to get away. He offers to help Lyta who in turn sits in a prison cell because she financed terrorist attacks on Psi Corps facilities.

My opinion: Did I say I didn't like teeps? Only those around Byron. Lyte I always liked a lot and I think that she didn't get the thanks that she deserved for what she has done over the years. And that woman can kick ass!


Synopsis: Someone tries to kill Michael because they fear that he could dig out stuff at Edgar Industries they don't want to be found. And because he has decided to marry Lise and don't to return to his job as Chief of Covert Intelligence the former head of the Mars resistance, Number One, gets the job. Together they bring down those who hired the assassin.

My opninion: Now they are leaving. Londo gone. Michael and Lise gone. G'Kar and Lyta gone. Soon Sheridan and Delenn and Stephen will follow. I said I didn't like the fifth season that much, but that's because of the first half. Now I am really into it again and have to realize that it will soon be over.
