My Thoughts:
As much as I love animated superhero movies... this is the first time I have seen this one. While I sit here typing this review I am still not completely sure how I feel about the ending. But over all I really enjoyed this movie. One thing I like is this actually works for my birthday marathons as well... as a decent sized part of this movie has Superman giving Lois the same superpowers he has for 24 hours for her birthday. Anyway... as I said... I enjoyed this one... glad I finally got around to watching it. If you are a fan of the animated Superhero movies I think you will enjoy this one as well.

This is my second time watching this film... first time on Blu-ray. The first time I watched the movie was when I got the DVD from Netflix  couple years back. This is a right good romantic comedy... I definitely enjoyed it. Even though I seen the ending coming a mile a way. But watching them get to that point was entertaining. I really enjoyed both Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston in this film. I also liked seeing Nicole Kidman in it as well... though she is only in the scenes when they are in Hawaii. This one is worth the time put in to watch it. I am glad I finally got to add this one to my collection. Recommended.

My PILOT Marathon, a review by Rich

A Touch of Frost - Series 1

Care and Protection
Nursing his terminally-ill wife, Det Insp "Jack" Frost's life becomes more stressed when, during a missing-child investigation, he unearths evidence on a 30-year-old case involving a skeleton chained to a locked strongbox that turns out to be empty.



Detective Inspector Jack Frost is a disorganised DI for the Denton Police Force and will do anything to see that justice is done, even if he has to break the rules.

A very popular UK series, but one like many I have never bothered with before. Having now watched the pilot, it does an extremely good job of introducing the main characters, why they are who they are, background to the lead, and setting the tone for a successful formula that stood the test of time. I feel more able to jump into an episode here or there and know better what is going on.
The dual investigations that ran parallel to this pilot introduction were cleverly crafted, and although hardly being too difficult to ascertain the ending it was underly done in a pleasing manner. Needless to say David Jason was a class act, perfect for a role that must have been written with him in mind.
Not a series I could watch back to back, but one that I shall reach for every now and then.
