Sleeping Dogs , a review by samuelrichardscott

Sleeping Dogs (2006) R0 United Kingdom

Overview:
Life is going just great for regular girl Amy.
Adored by her parents and her golden-boy fiance, her future looks bright too...until her fiance suggests they tell each other their darkest secrets... things they have never told anyone.
When Amy finally relents and reveals that her pooch was. ahem, a little more than a man's best friend, everything falls apart.

My Thoughts:
Jeez, how do you even start to talk about this one?  Basically, Melinda Page Hamilton listens to her mother who tells her not to keep things secret from her prospective husband. So she tells her boyfriend that one time, when she was at college, she gave a dog, ahem, fellatio. Darkly funny, I really enjoyed this movie from Bobcat Goldthwaite. It is funny in all the right moments and is a worthy pick-up for all fans of dark, off-the-wall comedies. 3.5/5

La Linea - The Line, a review by Silence_of_Lambs

Summary:
While the old boss (Andy Garcia) is terminally ill, the new kingpin (Esai Morales) of a Tijuana drug cartel is trying to open a new supply chain from the Taliban. The CIA gets to know this and sends an assassin for elimination.

My Thoughts:
The movie is as confusing as the summary promises.
For about the first half of the movie I was wondering where it wanted to take me, the other half I wasn't interested anymore.
It seems to be a crude mix-up of pseudo-intellectual post-traumatic-stress-recovery, thriller, action, whatever ...
The shoot-out sequences at least have a nice choreography but they don't fit in, the characters are thrown into the story without any background (except for the character of Ray Liotta), the script gives them implausible activities. The whole plot has holes as wide as Minnesota.

Avoid this

My Rating: (out of possible 5)

Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

5. Rm w/a Vu
Original Air Date: 11/2/1999
While Doyle deals with a demon who has come to collect on his loans, Cordelia and a ghost battle it out for the rights to live in a gorgeous rent-controlled apartment.

Guest Stars:
Elisabeth Rohm
Beth Grant
Marcus Redmond
Denney Pierce

My Thoughts:
This is actually one of my favorite of the early episodes. I liked both storylines and how they combined them at the end of the episode. Plus you couldn't help getting a kick out of Cordelia getting pissed at the ghost towards the end. She said it perfectly when she said "The Bitch is Back!" I also got a kick out of her new "roommate". It really is a fun episode.

My Rating:
