Stars:Plot:
Set against the wildly atmospheric backdrop of the French Riviera Jean (Gad Elmaleh), a shy young bartender is mistaken for a millionaire by beautiful scheming opportunist Irene (Audrey Tautou). Abandonned when she discovers his true identity, a love-struck Jean has no intention of letting someone this gorgeous get away! Jean's comical attempts to gain Irene's affections gradually evolve to him setting himself up as a gigolo at the luxury hotel she is staying at...and then the fun really begins. A sexy and thoroughly charming romantic comedy, if you love Breakfast at Tiffany's you'll love this.
Extras:
- Deleted Scenes
- Featurettes

My Thoughts:
Alone the hotness of Audrey Tautou in this movie makes watching it worthwhile 
She is worthy to be the modern Audrey Hepburn.
And the movie itself is funny, too. It's supposed to be a modern take on "Breakfast at Tiffany's", but as I haven't seen it for awhile and don't remember much about it, I cannot confirm or deny it. I really should rewatch my Hepburn movies one of these days.

Masters of Horror: The Damned Thing, a review by addicted2dvd
Masters of Horror: The Damned Thing
Twenty-four years ago, outside a small Texas town, young Kevin Reddle watched helplessly as his oilman father brutally slaughtered his mother before being torn apart by an invisible force. Today the county Sheriff, Kevin ('Sean Patrick Flanery' of THE BOONDOCK SAINTS) remains haunted by memories of that night and the fear that "the damned thing" may someday return. Now as the citizens of Cloverdale explode into a homicidal frenzy, the one man who has uncovered the truth is about to meet his own horrific destiny. 'Marisa Coughlan' ('BOSTON LEGAL') and 'Ted Raimi' (THE GRUDGE) co-star in this blood-soaked shocker written by 'Richard Christian Matheson' from the classic short story by 'Ambrose Bierce'.
My Thoughts:
Today I finally got around to watching the last episode of Masters of Horror that I never seen before. After watching this episode I can now say, without a doubt, that The V Word is my favorite of all the Masters of Horror episodes... but this one is not to far behind. I really enjoyed this episode. I can't say that this one has an extreme amount of gore in it (unlike episodes like Pelts) but it don't shy away from the gore either. So if you are not a fan of the gore... there is a few scenes you may want to close your eyes for. Over-all I really enjoyed the entire Masters of Horror series.... it is a shame that it has been canceled. I would have loved to seen even 1 more season.

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd
The Lone Gunmen
The computer-hacking, conspiracy-exposing Lone Gunmen are always looking for that next big government cover-up that would bring their newsletter, The Lone Gunmen, national attention. Whether in their secret underground office or in the back of their old VW bus, this bumbling and often socially inept trio is routinely laughed at by their peers. Now with a young, idealistic new member and a mysterious and exotic female who is always one step ahead of them, the Lone Gunmen are doubly determined to protect millions of Americans by exposing truths that some would rather keep hidden.
Pilot
While investigating the death of Byers' father the Gunmen stumble onto a sinister government plot to ignite hostilities worldwide and increase arms sales.
My Thoughts:
While an entertaining show... it was never even close to the series that The X-Files (the series it spun off from) was. It is a show I can enjoy... but is one I am not surprised only lasted the one season. I really found it to be a pretty much average pilot and series. But I had to have it to complete the X-Files universe.
