Plot:
Superstars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito team up for twice the laughs in this hilarious box-office blockbuster from director Ivan Reitman ("Ghostbusters").

An ambitious genetic experiment takes the wrong turn when two twins--who look nothing alike--are born and then separated. Years later, the unlikely siblings meet: Julius, a highly educated but sheltered giant with a big heart, and Vincent, a pint-sized hustler with an insatiable lust for women and money. With girlfriends in tow and a hitman on their tail, the newfound brothers set off on a wild, cross-country misadventure to find their mother--but end up finding out more about themselves.

One of the better (if not the best) Schwarzenegger comedies. Mostly due to the unlikely pairing with Danny DeVito.
This must be the movie besides the Conan and Red Sonja movies in which Schwarzenegger is bare-chested the most

I like the friendly stabs at each other of Schwarzenegger and Stallone. Here the Rambo poster scene. In Last Action Hero the Stallone as Terminator scene and of course the "Schwarzenegger as President" scene in Demolition Man

Overview
My thoughts	Cobra is Sylvester Stallone's attempt to recreate Dirty Harry Dirty Harry. And Andrew Robinson is in there, too. Not as the killer this time, but still as an opponent within the force. By the way, Cobra is really named Marion Cobretti. Marion also happens to be John Wayne's real life name. Coincidence? Or does Sly think of himself as Clint Eastwood and Cobra shines is in its stunts. I guess the producers must have told stunt coordinator Terry Leonard to go all in. Cobra Cobra isn't a total loss. It's quite entertaining and at times quite thrilling. Upon first viewing on DVD many years ago I gave Cobra 2.5 stars. Seeing it on blu-ray now I think I was too harsh, so I've upped it with one more star. It's certainly no masterpiece, but if you just sit back and don't think too much, it's quite decent entertainment.

Plot:
Join one of TV's most stunning breakout heroines as the action-packed series Bionic Woman leaps onto DVD! From executive producer David Eick (Battlestar Galactica) comes this gripping re-imagining of the universally beloved character.

Jamie Sommers is a hard-working woman struggling to take care of her younger sister. But after a serious, life-threatening accident, Jamie is saved by a top-secret procedure that makes her much more than just an ordinary woman... it makes her superhumanly bionic. Starring hot newcomer Michelle Ryan, as well as Miguel Ferrer (Crossing Jordan), Molly Price (Third Watch), Will Yun Lee (Witchblade), Lucy Kate Hale (How I Met Your Mother), and guest stars Isaiah Washington (Grey's Anatomy) and Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica), it's a non-stop thrill ride unlike anything you've seen before!


Bionic Woman
Season 1.08 Do Not Disturb
Writer: Jason Smilovic (Writer)
Director: Gwyneth Horder-Payton
Cast: Michelle Ryan (Jaime Sommers), Miguel Ferrer (Jonas Bledsoe), Molly Price (Ruth Truewell), Will Yun Lee (Jae Kim), Lucy Hale (Becca Sommers), Kevin Rankin (Nathan), Brian Markinson (Vincent Aldridge), Michael Brock (Nick), Brent O'Connor (Valet Parker/Matt), Ben Cotton (Javier), Julia Keilty (Hotel Desk Lady), Jonathan Kralt (Dreadlock Dude), Juno Ruddell (Spa Therapist), Sherry Klassen (Gift Shop Clerk), Justin Sain (Bodyguard #1), Gerald Paetz (Bodyguard #3)

As this series was cancelled very early in its run, this last episode is just another run-of-the-mill episode. Though I enjoyed it. Nice is, that at least we got a nice subplot of how Jaime has to decide if she should tell her little sister about her new work and her powers.
