A really silly movie, but I enjoyed it. Shahrukh Khan makes watching this movie worthwhile. He is great as the guy who is a very capable private detective, but because of his name gets confused in a murder plot without him knowing. And as it seems like in a lot of 90s Shah Rukh Khan movies, Amrish Puri plays the villain and Johnny Lever the comic relief sidekick. Both did a good job. Twinkle Khanna is also fun to watch as the female lead.

Superman Batman: Public Enemies, a review by addicted2comics

The Plot: With Lex Luthor the new president of the United States, Batman and Superman are seen as public enemies under a false murder charge. Greater still, even as villains want the million dollars on Superman's head and the heroes want to trun them in, a meteor is about to head strraight toward earth!!!

My Thoughts: Me being a comic nerd (all be it mainly Marvel, but still) I couldn't help but love the overflow of characters. I was familiar with most, so every minute (or just about) I was thinking to myself, "ooh, ooh! I remember him!". I still can't help by being put off a little by the fact that gizmo (or at least I think that's him) is calling himself Toyman. Whenever I hear that name I think the Batman villain. It's a very cool plot line, and the action scenes are awesome to look at. I give it a 4.5 out of 5.

Tom's Random Star Trek Reviews, a review by Tom

VOY 3.25 Worst Case Scenario
Writer: Kenneth Biller (Writer)
Director: Alexander Singer
Cast: Kate Mulgrew (Captain Kathryn Janeway), Robert Beltran (Commander Chakotay), Roxann Dawson (Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres), Jennifer Lien (Kes), Robert Duncan McNeill (Lieutenant Tom Paris), Ethan Phillips (Neelix), Robert Picardo (The Doctor), Tim Russ (Lieutenant Tuvok), Garrett Wang (Ensign Harry Kim), Martha Hackett (Seska), Majel Barrett (Computer Voice (voice))

B'Elanna stumbles upon a holo-novel about a mutiny lead by Chakotay. As it turns out, it was created by Tuvok, but never finished. When he and Tom try to continue writing it, they find out that Seska had finished it for them and there are now trapped in the holo-novel fighting for their lives.
I like how in the beginning of this episode this holo-novel chatches on with the crew.
And it shows, that similar to the viewers, also Tuvok couldn't believe that the integration of the Maquis crew into Voyager went as smooth as it actually did

P/T moment:
Tom proposes to write in a love affair between the helm's man and the chief engineer
