Extras: Closed Captioned Commentary Deleted Scenes DVD-ROM Content Featurettes Photo Gallery Production Notes Scene Access Theatrical Cut and Director's Cut with alternate ending. My Thoughts: I haven't watched this one for years. It was not as good as I remembered it being, but I still enjoyed it. I watched the "The Director's Cut" because this is the only true version The weak point in this movie is Ashton Kutcher. He can't act. He drags the pacing down. I almost didn't recognize him with all the makeup, but Ethan Suplee (Randy from My Name is Earl) played Evan's fat roommate in college.

Stars: Rena Tanaka as Akari Saito Ryo Kase as Susumu Hoshi Mayuko Fukuda as Akari Saito - child Chizuru Ikewaki as Yuko Inoue Akira Fuse as Shinichi Hoshi Plot: Akari is a 14-year-old schoolgirl living in Japan's northern island of Hokkaido. One day, a puppy wanders into her yard, a Golden Retriever with white paw markings. Akari names her "Socks". Akari's mother consents to her keeping the dog but only after she agrees to abide by "10 promises" from Socks herself. Akari enthusiastically assents and the two begin their journey to adulthood together. Akari finds herself having to overcome many changes and challenges. But at every juncture, Socks is there to provide unquestioning love and support. Extras: My Thoughts: A nice movie which I enjoyed throughout, even though there aren't really any surprises. The ending is emotional and done well in my opinion.Rating: (From Tom's Random Reviews on January 27th, 2012) Tom's Random Star Trek Reviews, a review by TomVOY 3.04 The Swarm Writer: Mike Sussman (Writer) Director: Alexander Singer Cast: Kate Mulgrew (Captain Kathryn Janeway), Robert Beltran (Commander Chakotay), Roxann Dawson (Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres), Jennifer Lien (Kes), Robert Duncan McNeill (Lieutenant Tom Paris), Ethan Phillips (Neelix), Robert Picardo (The Doctor), Tim Russ (Lieutenant Tuvok), Garrett Wang (Ensign Harry Kim), Carol Davis (Giuseppina Pentangeli), Steven Houska (Chardis), Majel Barrett (Computer Voice (voice)) My next theme: The pairing of Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres (known in the fandom as "P/T"). This is my favorite canon Star Trek couple. I like how they slowly build it up in season 3 with few scenes thrown in in a couple of episodes. Sadly they neglected this pairing during season 5 and 6 but luckily made again some nice episodes in season 7. I will not watch every episode where those two share on-screen time, but will make a selection of episodes of which I remember they had some nice scenes between them. One story in this episode is about the consequence of the Emergency Medical Hologram running longer than it is supposed to. The doctor's matrix is degrading. We get the chance to see the guy who has programmed him (Dr. Zimmerman) who looks exactly like the doctor. It's the good part about this episode. Robert Picardo is great playing the doctor having dementia. And he is also fun as Dr. Zimmerman. With the other part, although nicely executed, I have a problem with: Who does Janeway think she is? The alien they encounter make it obvious, that they do no tolerate trespassers. But because it would take Voyager 15 months to go around they space (I assume they did consider 3D space ), she decides to risk the ship and go through their space. Also it seems a little strange, that going around that space would take 15 months, but going through it would only take 3 days. P/T moment: In the beginning of the episode, Paris asks B'Elanna about her love life. And it also marks the first time (as far as I remember), that he hits on her.
