It has been years since I seen this film! So watching it for the first time ever on Blu-ray was an extra treat. And I can say I saw such a difference right away! I have yet to see Terminator Salvation... but so far this is my favorite film in the franchise. I really liked the addition of the T-1000 with his liquid metal morphing abilities. I really enjoyed watching this one again... definitely recommended.

Lady Vengeance, a review by Antares

Lady Vengeance (2005) 92/100 - I have to admit that I almost turned this film off after the scene with the dog, but I decided to plod on, and I'm glad I did. For the first hour or so, I couldn't make heads or tails of this film, but by the time of the big payoff scene with the families, it all came together wonderfully. It's a very imaginative film which at times had me thinking of meets Lady Snowblood. Park uses a lot of creative images to keep his story moving forward, and although the exposition in the first hour can be a bit daunting, he ties in all the loose threads in one of the most disturbing scenes of parental agony and unbridled retribution I've ever seen in a film. This is only my second Chan-wook Park film, the first being the magnificent Oldboy. This is slightly better and it makes me want to seek out his other films. He has a distinct style and his screenwriting talents are creative and most definitely original. For me, this and Oldboy are the kind of films that Quentin Tarantino wishes he had the talent to make. Hard edged, quirky, violent, without being gratuitous. On the cover of the DVD, it mentions that Lady Vengeance is the best revenge film since Kill Bill...not too lofty of a goal in my mind, and to be honest, when I read that, it kind of made me hesitant to watch it.

What the color coding means...

Teal = Masterpiece
Dark Green = Classic or someday will be
Lime Green = A good, entertaining film
Orange = Average
Red = Cinemuck
Brown = The color of crap, which this film is

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Complete Second Season marathon, a review by Achim

17. Ourselves AloneMy comments:
While Derek is out trying to get close (kill...? didn't quite catch whether he just wanted to talk or if he was out to kill) to a guy related to the previous episodes lead towards Skynet the Connor household is shaken up. john Sarah and Cameron find out that something is up with Riley. That something is giving them trouble real quick and the three seem to have a "battle of the minds" how to deal with it. I found the way the episode inched forwards towards it's actual reveal (Jesse's actual plans for Riley) very exciting and there were several nice scenes between various characters; both quiet (John and Cameron) as well as confrontational (John and Sarah) moments.
