I been wanting to check out this film for quite a while now... as I thought the trailer looked like a lot of fun. After watching it I can say it is a good movie. It is entertaining... but I was somehow expecting a bit more from it. It is definitely worth the time put in to watch it. But it is definitely one of those cases where all the best parts of the movie was in the trailer.

New in Town, a review by Rich

Title: New in Town

Runtime:96
Certificate:PG
Year:2009
Genres:Comedy, Romance

Plot:My Review:
Tired old format - high flier goes to sleepy old town to close down friendly old business, only to fall in love with the place, and a person in it, then proceed to save the day by finding amazing new concept and making company a roaring sucess, and they all live happily ever after.
Zellweger always suits such roles, and is comfortable in the lead, but I found Connick wooden and unconvincing as her love interest. JK Simmons as always injects class, and in general the cast work well together with a fairly dull script.
Not an awful film, there are some genuinely funny moments, and it is better than some out there, but I would recommend Kinky Boots and Spotswood ahead of this.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Complete First Season marathon, a review by Tom

1. Pilot (2008-01-13)
Writer: Josh Friedman (Created By), Josh Friedman (Writer), James Cameron (Original Characters By), Gale Anne Hurd (Original Characters By)
Director: David Nutter
Cast: Lena Headey (Sarah Connor), Thomas Dekker (John Connor), Summer Glau (Cameron), Richard T. Jones (Agent James Ellison), Owain Yeoman (Cromartie), Sonya Walger (Michelle Dixon), Nick Wechsler (Deputy Ridge), Charlayne Woodard (Terissa Dyson), Dean Winters (Charley Dixon), Aurora Antonio (Wiseass), Chad Brummett (F.B.I. Agent), Aaron Cash (Terminator), Jason Grutter (Police Officer), Gary Houston (Mr. Ferguson), Deborah Martinez (News Anchor), Genia Michaela (Bank Teller), Kenneth Miller (Boy), Brandon Molale (Big Cop), Shawn Prince (Danny Dyson)

An almost perfect introduction to a great series. Nice way to solve the problem, to have the characters hardly older than in the second movie, but having the series set in present time.
Nice to see Nick Wechsler following his father's footsteps (he played Kyle Valenti on Roswell, the son of Sheriff Valenti who's played by William Sadler. And now he plays the deputy sheriff here).
For the "Heroes" fans among us: Thomas Dekker played Claire's friend in the first half of season 1, but dropped out of "Heroes" to star here.
I forgot that Summer Glau already said her signature remark "Thank you for explaining" in this pilot before it is revealed that she is a Terminator. Nice
