This is one of those "found footage" films. So if you do not like that style of movie then this one is definitely not for you. I personally enjoy that style of movie. It is definitely not the best one of this type that I have seen... but I did enjoy it. I like that they had Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter's sister on Dexter) in this movie. Since first seeing her on Dexter I have become a fan of her's. I liked the base storyline. I liked how they had fun with Jennifer Carpenter's character's interaction with the firemen before things got serious... and I liked how things progressed once they got to the apartment complex. Though I do think some of the scenes were a little too dark which took away from the enjoyment a little.

Alex & Emma, a review by addicted2dvd

Alex & Emma


My Thoughts:
This is a movie I have never seen before. A very good friend gave me this DVD when she was cleaning out her collection. Unfortunately it is the Full-Screen edition... which of course I always prefer OAR releases. But I can't complain.... a free dvd is a free dvd!

I definitely do enjoy a good romantic comedy. Unfortunately I wouldn't call this one a good romantic comedy. I tried to enjoy it... but I just found it more or less boring... and found it difficult to even get through. I was actually laying down watching this movie and found myself fighting sleep in no time. I didn't care for the whole idea of flashing to acting out the book he is writing. I can see how some would like such a thing... but for me it took away from the story more then it added to it.

Grey's Anatomy Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

11. Owner of a Lonely Heart


My Thoughts:
This is a good episode. It continues where the last episode leaves off with the quintuplets. Izzie really learns a hard and painful lesson concerning the baby she was caring for. Then there was the female prisoner that decides to get a break from prison by swallowing four (taped) razor blades. The things people get in their heads to do sometimes is unbelievable.

My Rating:

12. Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer
Cristina and Burke squabble over a young boy's heart transplant, as the interns pitch in to help Alex pass his upcoming exam and Meredith reminds Izzie about the spirit of the season.

My Thoughts:
A good Christmas episode. I like how they made it Cristina that gave the boy the will to live... what with her being so anti-holidays. I also liked the idea of how the doctors have to be careful of what is said while a patient is asleep and they are doing surgery (in this case brain surgery) because you do not know what will find it's way to the subconscious and effect a person in a personal way.

My Rating:

13. Begin the Begin
A new patient named Denny Duquette (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) helps Izzie get over Alex, as George finds his hands full treating a teenage hermaphrodite.

My Thoughts:
Denny is introduced in this episode. I always liked Denny. And I realized today I actually know him from another series... as he played the father of the Winchester Brothers on Supernatural. I also liked how the whole teenage hermaphrodite was handled. Probably not good as a doctor... but I would have been just like George in that situation.

My Rating:

14. Tell Me Sweet Little Lies
George has difficulty discharging an older patient who refuses to leave Seattle Grace and Alex finally learns the results of his exams. Meredith and Cristina vent to each other about the state of their relationships.

My Thoughts:
This is a very standard episode. The cases were kinda bland... the personal life stuff was a little on the boring side. Most of the stuff in this episode I really didn't care to much about. Though there were a couple saving grace scenes that pushed this episode to a rating of .

My Rating:

15. Break on Through
The doctors must fend for themselves as the nurses' union goes on strike; while treating a young patient, Meredith makes a mistake that the patient's friends catch and Izzie treats a young pregnant girl.

My Thoughts:
A good episode. I liked the storyline of the strike. Though I think they ended it a little too soon. We hear about it at the end of the episode before this one. And it is over by the end of this episode. I would have probably had it not end till maybe the next episode... as I think they probably could have done a little more with it. We also get to learn a little bit more about Izzie. Dr. Bailey is now out on maternity leave... so the interns gets a replacement teacher. When I saw her she immediately looked familiar to me... but I just couldn't place it. After the episode I checked DVDP to see what else I had with her in it... and no wonder she looked familiar. She was in a few episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer as Helfrak.

My Rating:
