Plot:
In the year 2004, time travel is not only a reality, but an opportunity to alter the past for power and profit. Jean-Claude Van Damme stars in the sci-fi thriller that mixes hard-hitting action with awesome special effects, romance and murder. Ron Silver co-stars as Van Damme's cunning adversary in what People Magazine touts "Clever and original, Timecop is a thinking man's movie."

Better than expected when I first bought it (before that I only saw pieces of the spin-off TV series). And the movie has the beautiful Mia Sara in it
The futuristic cars (of the year 2004 ) look bad though. The time-travel theme takes a little backseat to Van-Damme's ass-kicking, but not as bad as I feared.

My Thoughts:
This is a movie I bought Brittany for her Birthday the other day. This is a TV Movie that originally aired on Nickelodeon. This movie is cute enough... and has a few laughs. But it is definitely geared more towards the kids then it is adults. Brittany enjoyed it quite a bit though so I am happy about that.

Dark Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

1. Pilot
Max is a beautiful, unique girl -- she should be, she was designed that way. Engineered in a secret government lab twenty years ago, Max and her genetically enhanced siblings were created to be the perfect soldiers... until they escaped. Now, ten years later, against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic Seattle, Max is on a quest to reclaim her past by finding her fellow escapees. But she's not the only one looking...

My Thoughts:
A really good start to a great show. This series made me a huge fan of the always lovely Jessica Alba!  There is nothing I like more then a strong woman.... a woman who can take care of herself... a woman that takes no crap from anyone... and that is Jessica Alba in this series... she really kicks ass and takes names later in this show!  As soon as I told a friend of mine that I just started a Dark Angel marathon today... the first thing she said to me was.... You better have a nice stack of bibs ready! 

In this episode Max (Alba) is trying her best to stay under the radar as she don't want to be discovered. That is until she meets Logan (Weatherly)... who shows her the meaning of helping people. Still a bit on the weary side... she does what is right... at the same time drawing attention to her location.

2. Heat
Max is lured further into Logan's realm when he promises her more information about her past. He tells her about the woman who picked her up roadside as a child - a woman named Hannah. Max heads out to find Hannah, and ultimately gets more clues about her biological mother.

My Thoughts:
I love this episode! Since Max's DNA was mixed with some cat DNA (for agility) she has a problem that every so often... like cats... she goes into heat. Being sexually charged to the point of barely being able to control herself... she needs to get past being in heat at the same time finding the woman that saved her the night of her escape from Manticore.... taking her one step closer to finding her brothers and sisters that escaped as well that night. At this point she is still a bit leary of doing good and helping people in fear that she will be found... but she is quicker to do the right thing then she was in the first episode.

3. Flushed
Max's seizures increase. Low on her medication after her friends mistakenly flush it down the toilet, Max breaks into a drug clinic. She is caught and ends up in jail and more openly a target for Lydecker.

My Thoughts:
This was a really good episode. Max... while trying to help herself finds a young girl that needs help... and she takes it on her own to give her the help she needs... so at this point you see that doing good is coming much easier by this episode. It's not that she was so much against helping people... more so she was trying not to get involved and staying under the radar so to speak. What with her being wanted by the military group that created her and her brothers and sisters.
