Duplex, a review by addicted2dvd
Stars: Ben Stiller as Alex Rose Drew Barrymore as Nancy Kendricks Eileen Essell as Mrs. Connelly Harvey Fierstein as Kenneth Justin Theroux as Coop James Remar as Chick Plot: Hollywood favorites Ben Stiller (Meet the Parents, The Royal Tenenbaums) and Drew Barrymore (Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, Never Been Kissed) lead a star-studded cast in this darkly hilarious comedy where one wrong move turns out to be a monumental mistake! Young and vibrant New Yorkers Alex (Stiller) and Nancy (Barrymore) have just found the perfect place to settle down and share a bright future. But their new home comes with a permanent fixture they didn't expect; an obnoxious elderly tenant who won't move out and refuses to die! Pushed to the edge of insanity as their dream home turns into a nightmare, it's only a matter of time before Alex and Nancy begin to entertain some truly sinister solutions to their problem! Also featuring the ever-popular Harvey Fierstein (Death To Smoochy, Independence Day) written by Larry Doyle and directed by Danny DeVito (The War Of The Roses, Throw Momma From The Train), Duplex is another laugh-packed crowd-pleaser you don't want to miss!

My Thoughts: I watched this movie last night.... but by the time I watched it I was too tired to post a review of it so here it is first thing this morning. I found this one to be just plain fun. I was expecting a little more laugh out loud moments in it... but it was enjoyable all the same. I liked Ben Stiller in this one as well. Which is a good thing as he has been a little hit and miss for me on the ones I have seen. Not to mention the fact that for some reason I really can't picture him and Drew Barrymore together.... but they make it work.My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (From Celebrity of the Week Marathon: Drew Barrymore on March 29th, 2012) Kuch Naa Kaho, a review by Tom![]() Title: Kuch Naa Kaho ![]() Year: 2003 Director: Rohan Sippy Rating: FSK-0 Length: 161 Min.

Extras: Featurettes Scene Access Trailers My Thoughts: A very predictable movie, which succumbs to be a bad soap opera in the second half including their infamous cue music. The synopsis sounded much more fun than the movie turned out to be. Though the movie had some fun scenes. Rating: ![]() (From Tom's Random Reviews on August 18th, 2009) Grey's Anatomy Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd17. Some Kind Of Miracle As Burke, Richard and Bailey feverishly work to revive her, Meredith interacts with some ghosts from her past. Alex's pregnant patient awakens, unable to remember anything and under the impression that Alex is her husband. Derek angrily confronts Meredith's mother, Ellis, who may be the only person in the world who can save Meredith. My Thoughts: This episode pretty much concludes the disaster storyline. And once again... an excellent episode. I still don't know for sure how I feel about the whole after-life/dream-type thing they did with Meredith... but I must admit... it was better then what I expected from the end of the last episode... so I guess it did work. Though it did seem pretty obvious how it would end up early on into the episode. My Rating: ![]() 18. Scars And Souvenirs Burke is troubled when Cristina's old flame Marlowe, a renowned surgeon, visits Seattle Grace. Richard relates to a Korean War veteran with some shrapnel still lodged in his shoulder. A fuse is blown when Meredith invites her father and his wife to dinner. Callie kicks George out after a huge argument and he awakens to a surprise the next morning. My Thoughts: This is really an average episode. It seemed a bit slow to me. Nothing special about the medical cases and even the personal life stuff was kinda blah. Felt like no more then a filler episode to me. My Rating: ![]() 19. My Favorite Mistake A hungover George has no memory of the night before, and must pull himself together to meet his new father-in-law. With Marlowe on board at Seattle Grace, the staff goes all out to impress him in hopes of getting Richard's job. Alex helps his Jane Doe pick out a new face for her reconstructive surgery, and luie and Cristina volunteer to work at the free clinic to avoid seeing George and Burke. My Thoughts: This is a good episode. Once again mostly centering around the personal lives of the surgeons. My Rating: ![]() 20. Time After Time Alex finds himself becoming more attached to Jane Doe. Izzie faces her past and finds comfort in George, while Meredith and Derek question their own relationship status. Cristina resolves to fight for her relationship with Burke - despite her past with Marlowe. My Thoughts: Pretty much more of the same as the above episode. Though I must admit I do like this new storyline about the daughter of Izzie's that she has been keeping secret from most of her friends.
