Hulk, a review by addicted2dvd

Hulk
The larger-than-life Marvel Super Hero the HULK explodes onto the big screen! After a freak lab accident unleashes a genetically enhanced, impossibly strong creature, a terrifed world must marshal its forces to stop a being with abilities beyond imagination.

My Thoughts:
The first time I watched this movie I was really disappointed. Before this movie the only way I knew the Hulk was from the '70s TV Series. That is all that I was used to. So I pretty much shunned this movie after seeing it the first time. Now that I have seen the great new movie The Incredible Hulk... I thought I should give this movie another chance on it's own merits. So when I was able to get it cheap I grabbed it for a second chance.

After watching it for the second time I can say that I did enjoy it more then I did the first time. But I still think it was a poor attempt at a Hulk movie. The story seemed to go on forever... without much advancement to the plot. I hated all the split screens they used through-out the movie. I mean I know this is a comic book adaptation... I didn't need to be reminded of that by having so many split screens to look like a page of a comic book. That... to me... took away from the story itself. I will probably watch this one every great once in a while... but no where near as much as I will "The Incredible Hulk."

Plot:
Say "I do" to this hilarious "mockumentary" about a trio of wacky couples who vow to win the coveted title of "Most Original Wedding of the Year." The dueling duos include the tuneless Matt (Martin Freeman) and Sam (Jessica Stevenson) whose unfortunate wedding theme is Hollywood musicals; the hypercompetitive tennis partners Josef (Steven Mangan) and Isabelle (Meredith MacNeill), and the outrageously uninhibited nudists Michael (Robert Webb) and Joanna (Olivia Colman). At stake is a million-dollar dream home, but can love survive in the midst of unbridled prenuptial chaos? Featuring a talented cast and three alternate endings that let YOU choose the winner, CONFETTI will "keep you laughing from start to finish" (Empire).

Extras:

• Scene Access
• Bonus Trailers
• Deleted Scenes
• Featurettes
• Closed Captioned

This is one of the many that was given to me over the years. This particular one has been sitting in my unwatched pile for about two years now. It is one I never even heard of before getting it... let alone seen before today. Going by the overview I really wasn't expecting too much from this one. But I must admit it was better then I was expecting. I still wouldn't say it is a great movie... but I did find I enjoyed it. Even if I did call the winner of the contest at the beginning of the film. But over-all it is worth the time put in to watch it.

Babylon 5: Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Synopsis: Sheridan tries to get the League of Non-Alligned Worlds sign a defense contract that allows the White Star fleet to patrol along the borders. And he does that in an very unusual way. Meanwhile Delenn (as representative of the religious caste) negoiates with Neroon (as representative of the warrior caste) in secret to end the fully outbroken civil war on Minbar.

My opinion: The episode is a great mixture of humour and seriousness. It's funny to see hwo Sheridan drives the league into the illusion that there is a new enemy to make them sign the treaty. And it's great to see how the mutual adversaries Delenn and Neroon work together to help their people. And then you realize that Neroon is going to betray Delenn. Very sad.


Synopsis: The religious caste has to surrender to the warrior caste. A place is chosen for the surrender. A place of great historical meaning from the time before Valen founded the Grey Council. Meanwhile Lyta is desperately looking for a job when Bester comes along an makes a proposal.

My opinion: While the Lyte storyline wasn't that interesting, the events back on Minbar were quite fascinating. One episode you are to believe that Neroon betrays Delenn. And the next you learn the plan hidden in another plan. It was a very good ending for the character or Neroon, an end worthy of a true warrior. And the end of the episode promises a great storyline for the next episodes.


Synopsis: After President Clark ordered the killing of 10'000 inoocent people on refugee ships, Sheridan is no longer willing to stand by. He prepares an attack agains Earth Force ships that carry out such illegal orders. They are going to retake the colony of Proxima 3, then Mars and finally Earth. A fleet of White Star ships and Starfuries has taken course to Proxima 3.

My opinion: Brother against brother. Civil war. The Minbari just had their own civil war, but it didn't feel as real as this one. This is probably because I - the viewer - am human. Of course I know it's only a TV show but nonetheless a battle between humans feels much more real than the war amongst the Minbari castes. And you hope with Sheridan that the crew of the destroyer can evacuate before it explodes. A worthy episode as name--giver of the season.


Synopsis: Garibaldi has arrived on Mars and finally meets the head of Edgars Industries, William Edgars. And Edgars fills him in on his thoughts and worries about Clark, the Psi Corps and Sheridan. Back on Babylon 5 Lyta is able to awake the teeps that were "modified" by the Shadows. Sheridan needs them for a certain task in the war to free Earth.

My opninion: A quieter episode but nonetheless an important one. Garibaldi decides to capture Sheridan and hand him over to Clark. What the hell did the Psi Corps do to him that he would do such a thing? The interesting question is: How many decisions made Garibaldi on his own and how many was he forced to do due to his Psi Corps reprogramming.
