I just finished this one. I picked it up because I have become a fan of Anne Hathaway's over the past few years. I found this one to be a pretty decent movie... maybe slightly above average.... but it definitely could have been better. The main problem I had with this one is that I couldn't get myself to care all that much about the characters. The closest being Anne Hathaway's character and then I found I didn't care about her as much as I should have. In my honest opinion both the brides in this film seemed to be little more then spoiled... yes the wedding day is all about the bride and what she wants. I agree with that fully. But no planned event... not even a wedding goes off completely perfect. And they made it so that neither one of these girls would budge even in the slightest. Which did nothing but make the characters seem unlikable. But over-all an entertaining movie. I can see myself watching this one again at some point.

I haven't watched this movie since I first got it on DVD, even though I think it is the best of the X-Men movies. The first one was too much of a Wolverine show. This one also focus a lot on him, but not as much. This movie has some great action and never drags for a minute. I really enjoyed this movie, even though I am not big on the X-Men in general (though I must admit, I only know them from the movies).

"Big Bang Theory" Marathon, a review by Tom

11. The Pancake Batter Anomaly (2008-03-31)
Writer: Bill Prady, Stephen Engel, Chuck Lorre, Lee Aronsohn
Director: Mark Cendrowski
Cast: Johnny Galecki (Leonard Hofstadter), Jim Parsons (Sheldon Cooper), Kaley Cuoco (Penny), Simon Helberg (Howard Wolowitz), Kunal Nayyar (Rajesh Koothrappali), Carol Ann Susi (Mrs. Wolowitz), Erin Allin O'Reilly (Cheryl)

Sheldon is sick and is being a pain in the ass. A good episode (though not as good as other Sheldon-centered episodes so far).
And Sheldon got Penny to rub his chest. Lucky guy!



12. The Jersualem Duality (2008-04-14)
Writer: Dave Goetsch, Steven Molaro, Jennifer Glickman, Stephen Engel
Director: Mark Cendrowski
Cast: Johnny Galecki (Leonard Hofstadter), Jim Parsons (Sheldon Cooper), Kaley Cuoco (Penny), Simon Helberg (Howard Wolowitz), Kunal Nayyar (Rajesh Koothrappali), Mark Harelik (Dr. Gablehauser), Austin Lee (Dennis), Emma Degerstedt (Emma)

Nice idea for an episode, but the execution could have been better. Nothing really funny about this episode.
