A nice romantic comedy. A guy who isn't the best looking guy learns, that his blind girlfriend will get her eyesight back. Ashamed by his appearance, and because he described himself as handsome to her, he is hiding from her now. Added to that an old handsome school friend of his has entered the girlfriends life.
South Korea seems to be a nice source to get some charming romantic comedies. I have watched and enjoyed a few so far. I even ordered a few more recently.

True Confessions, a review by Eric

True Confessions




Summary: Detective Tom Spellacy (Duvall) and Catholic Monsignor Desmond Spellacy (De Niro) find their worlds colliding amidst a flurry of political finger-pointing and public outcries over a scandalous, headline-making murder. As Tom hunts down the elusive killer, his investigation threatens to expose secrets that could ruin his brother... and rock the foundation of his beloved church!

My Thoughts: Interesting movie.  One can almost feel the discomfort between the cop and the priests concerning the death of this girl.  It brings an interesting theory about the possible killer (the real murder was never solved).  The movie also raises the never ending conflicts of interest the church is constantly involved in.

My score:

Buffy The Vampire Slayer Marathon , a review by Critter

1.08
I, Robot... You, Jane

Plot: Willow meets a boy on the Internet, but "Malcolm" is really Moloch, an ancient demon released from bondage after Willow scanned his "book" into the school's computer. With help from Ms Calendar, Sunnydale High's computer teacher, Buffy foils Moloch's plan to upload himself into a giant robot.

My Thoughts: This episode seems almost before it's time, as the topic of internet stalkers are much more prominent now than they used to be, only being Buffy this particular internet threat happened to be an ancient demon. The design of Moloch in this episode was outstanding, in both his demon and then his somewhat mecha-robot form. Both reflected a lot of time and effort put in too his look which really paid off. I mean really, how cool is this demon/robot....

I also like this episode becuase it is the introduction of 'Ms Calander' who is a character I have always liked quite a bit, I only wish she were in the show more, she is defnitely one of my favourite teachers from Sunnydale. I also love the fact that she is a 'techno pagen'.
This episode ending is one of my favourites, Buffy, Willow and Xander discussing the fact that living on the Hellmouth they will most likley never have normal relationships is priceless... and true.
