Plot:
Meet Hitch (Will Smith), New York City's greatest matchmaker. Love is his job and he'll get you the girl of your dreams in just three easy dates, guaranteed! And that's exactly what happens when Albert Brennaman (Kevin James, TV's "The King of Queens") wins the heart of gorgeous society heiress Allegra Cole (supermodel Amber Valletta). So when tabloid columnist Sara Melas (Eva Mendes, Stuck On You, Once Upon a Time in Mexico) decides to uncover the secret behind the tubby schlub's success, she's shocked to discover that Alex Hitchens, the charming young man she's been seeing, is the legendary date doctor himself. Exposed in a front-page scoop, it's now up to Alex to try to save Albert and Allegra's relationship as well as his own. Which only goes to show that just when you think you've found true love, there's always a HITCH.

An enjoyable romantic comedy. Will Smith is great as the date doctor. Kevin James is also very fitting as the one needing help getting to date a woman usually out of his league. In my opinion he makes it believable that she could fall in love with him.
Otherwise it is standard fare without any surprises along the way.

Another Anne Hathaway movie I always have enjoyed. Especially the first hour is real fun. After that it drags a little. Julie Andrews is perfect as the queen.
Is it me, or does the gym teacher look like she is the twin sister of Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia from Buffy/Angel)?

NCIS Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

13. DECEPTION
Navy lieutenant commander in charge of a shipment of nuclear weapons disappears and the NCIS team must solve the case before the secret location of the weapons is discovered.

My Thoughts:
This is a very good episode. They had to work fast to find the missing lieutenant commander.

My Rating:

14. LIGHT SLEEPER
The wives of two Marines are killed. Fearing that the next victim is a woman and her newborn baby, the NCIS teams springs into action.

My Thoughts:
Another one I enjoyed... but not quite as much as most. And I really can't put my finger on why. The story is good... everyone did a good job... but this one just left me a little disappointed for some reason.

My Rating:

15. HEAD CASE
The NCIS team stumbles upon a grisly discovery in an illegal automotive chop shop run by Marines. Now the crew must look for the full body of evidence.

My Thoughts:
A good episode. Story kept me interested through-out. Definitely worth the time put into it.

My Rating:

16. FAMILY SECRET
An ambulance supposedly carrying the remains of a Marine mysteriously explodes. The NCIS team discovers the ambulance was rigged to blow up, but that the DNA of the victim does not match that of the deceased Marine.

My Thoughts:
A good... but somewhat standard episode. Not one that I think of when I think of my faovrite episodes. Felt more like a good filler episode then anything else.

My Rating:
