My Thoughts:
This one is much more comedy then the previous two. I still enjoyed it... but not quite as much as the other two. It is still definitely worth seeing... and having in your collection though. This one has Shemp Howard (Three Stooges) in it playing a gangster. He was alright in it... but most the comedy came from the butler. I am not familiar with the actress playing the Invisible Woman... Going by DVD Profiler I don't have anything else with her in it. I did enjoy her in this one though.

My Thoughts:
After the last movie I watched... I felt like watching another comedy with Drew Barrymore. I think I enjoyed Duplex a little more then this one... but it was very close. So close in fact that I need to give it the same rating. Drew Barrymore was adorable as ever in it. I found the story to be very cute and entertaining. Once again there was very few laugh out loud moments... but it was filled with light-hearted fun.

My PILOT Marathon, a review by Rich

JERICHO - SEASON ONE - PILOT



First Aired: Wednesday September 20, 2006   
After a nuclear disaster caused by several terrorist attacks destroys most of America, residents of a small Kansas town must come to terms with a new and very different reality.

Finally got my boxset back!
Not as good as I had hoped and could have been better, but this series shows definite potential.
The storyline basis of the aftermath of a nuclear attack in the USA had me intrigued and excited, as it was fairly original amidst all the 'missing person criminal alien conspiracy dramas' available. The build up failed to create any tension and was not in-depth enough for me. Too many characters rushed onto screen so it was hard to relate to any, and the weight and severity of a nuclear attack wasnt driven home.
However, despite it's downfalls, the pilot did have some very interesting ideas which I shan't share as it may spoil it. The viewpoint of an isolated town witnessing the mushroom clouds from afar was very chilling.
I must admit I immediately watched episode 2 after the pilot, it has that Lost/Surface/4400/24 type of addiction that just makes you HAVE to know what happens next
