My Thoughts:
A fun action movie which I had already seen at the cinema and now enjoyed on Blu. Bruce Willis does what he does best: Playing an over-the-top action hero, coming out of retirement.

Saving Face, a review by Tom




Title: Saving Face
Year: 2004
Director: Alice Wu
Rating: R
Length: 97 Min.
Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.85
Audio: English: Dolby Digital 5.1, French: Dolby Digital Surround, Commentary: Dolby Digital Stereo
Subtitles: English, French

Stars:
Joan Chen

Plot:
When 48-year-old widow Hwei-Lan Gao (Joan Chen) informs her less-than understanding father she's pregnant, he banishes her from Flushing until she remarries or proves Immaculate Conception. With nowhere else to go, Hwei-Lan moves in with her grown daughter, Wil (Michelle Krusiec), a Manhattan doctor who doesn't want a roommate, especially since she's met Viv (Lynn Chen), her sexy young lover. So Wil does what any dutiful child with an expectant, unmarried mother on her hands would do: she proceeds to set Hwei-Lan up with every eligible bachelor in town.

Extras:

Commentary

My Thoughts:
An entertaining movie. We have the lesbian daughter, who begins a new relationship at the same time her widowed mother moves in with her, after she is kicked out of the grandparents house, because she got pregnant out of wedlock at the age of 48. Boy looks she great for a 48 year old woman! She is the left one on the cover in the wedding dress. She was 43 years old in real life at the time of filming.

I just noticed, that the main character (the one on the right), is played by Michelle Krusiec who played the older Molly in the DS9 episode "Time's Orphan".

"Due South" marathon, a review by addicted2dvd


The Gift Of The Wheelman

This episode brings us a little Christmas in July. While not a bad episode... one that had a few laughs in it. this is my least favorite episode so far. And it could be that I am just not used to it yet... but I didn't care for the whole Fraser's father thing. I mean the show was so good without doing this. At this point at least it feels like a step backwards. It basically feels like to me that they are adding something into the mix that is just not needed. Maybe I will see it differently once I get to see him in it more.. but I don't know.
