It's only two days before his wedding when Ben's (Ben Affleck) plane skids out of control, leaving him stranded in New York with no way home to his nervous fiancee in Savannah. Against his better judgment, the reliable groom-to-be hitches a ride with free-spirited traveler Sarah (Sandra Bullock)-setting off the year's most riotous road trip. At first, these two opposites attract nothing but trouble in a sidesplitting series of comic mishaps and unnatural disasters. But an irresistible attraction and the forces of nature threaten to detour them forever in this sexy, whirlwind adventure Jeffrey Lyons (WNBC-TV) declared, "a fun, hip ride"- one you'll never forget.

My Thoughts:
I went into this one expecting much of nothing... as I have heard this is one of Sandra Bullock's worst movies. I am actually sitting here kind of surprised by that. I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I wonder if some people don't care for it as much because it didn't end the way you would suspect in a romantic comedy. I personally liked that about it. Granted I liked Sandra Bullock's character the best... and I would have probably made the opposite decision... but I do like that it didn't go with the obvious ending. Not many romantic comedies do that. This one is not a laugh out loud funny movie... but it is definitely entertaining and lighthearted. Though going by the people I talked to at least... I am in the minority thinking so.

I went ahead and watched this one last night. I originally seen this one when it was first released... but all I really remembered about it is that I enjoyed it at the time. And I still enjoyed it... it is a fun film even if it can get a little on the silly side at times. Unfortunately I never got to see the original films... so can't do any comparisons. But I found this to be a fun way to waste an hour and a half. It's well worth checking out.

2. Deep Throat
Original Air Date: September 17, 1993
Mulder and Scully investigate the strange disappearance of an army test pilot. They uncover secret military medical experiments, which are being performed on pilots who have flown aircraft that were built using alien technology.

Guest Stars:
Jerry Hardin as Deep Throat
Michael Bryan French as Paul Mossinger
Seth Green as Emil
Gabrielle Rose as Anita Budahas
Monica Parker as Ladonna

My Thoughts:
Second episode... and still on the UFOs and such. Not that it is a bad episode. It is interesting. But the main reason I am doing this is to see the Freak-of-the-week episodes again. As I said... those has always been my favorite episodes. As I said... I do like this episode but not as much as I did the pilot. I did like the light show in the sky in this one though (about 15 min into the episode). I also liked Seth Green as stoner UFO watcher.

My Rating:
