My Thoughts:
This is now the second time I have watched this movie, and I liked more than the first time around. Kajol and Shahrukh Khan are often said to be the best Bollywood screen couple in recent years, and this movie is no exception. Also Rani Mukherji did a great job as Tina. This time I also liked the first half very much so, including the SRK's character in the flashback.
There are also some other now familiar faces here, like Anupam Kher, who plays Tina's father (he was also in the other SRK/Kajol vehicles and even in English language movies like Bend It Like Beckham and Bride & Prejudice). And another familiar face now is Salman Khan, who played Anjali's fiancé in this movie. He was also in Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam, another SRK movie.

My Thoughts:
This is my second time seeing this movie. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It held up pretty well on the second viewing. The storyline remains interesting and I like all the characters. I also liked the creature design and the effects in this one. If you never seen this film... give it a chance... I found it well worth the time put in to watch it.

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd



Earth 2


First Contact Part 1 and 2
Billionaire Devon Adair disregards government warnings when she hears of a new planet that offers hope for her Syndrome-stricken son, Ulysses. Together with a crew of hopeful "colonists," they embark on the journey to the Earth-like planet, G889, which is 22 light-years away.

My Thoughts:
I heard some good things about this series. So I blind bought it when I found the set on sale for about $15. After watching this double length pilot is that I hope it gets better. I mean it is not terrible... but it is far from what I would consider good. I just found the show slow... and found I wasn't caring about the characters. At least not up to this point.
