Mossad, a review by Rich

secret trip through Israel...



Based on a novel by critically acclaimed novelist, Benjamin Tamuz, Mossad is a haunting story of love, obsession and destiny. Alex (Dan Turgeman), a Mossad agent on a secret mission, meets Thea (Mili Avital), and is deeply affected by her. Though he has felt her presence throughout his life, the prevailing circumstances fraught with violence and danger-preclude the possibility of a relationship between them. Alex is torn by his love for Thea. He sees himself as the mythological Minotaur half-man, half-beast and believes that only her love will transform him and make him fully human. He watches her from afar. This beautiful vibrant woman, a generation younger than himself; the focus of his dreams the moment he first saw her.

Kiss the Girls, a review by addicted2dvd

Kiss the Girls
Eight kidnapped women. All beautiful. All talented. All in danger of having their lives cut cruelly short if police detective Alex Cross and key witness Kate McTiernan can't locate the elusive "collector" who calls himself Casanova.

From the Deep South to the California coast and back, the hunt is on in this provocative race-against-time suspenser based on the best-selling novel by James Patterson. Ashley Judd plays resourceful, strong-willed McTiernan. She's the lone escapee from Casanova's hidden lair...and determined to rescue the fellow captives she left behind. Morgan Freeman is Cross, a master at solving the unsolvable. But there's more than his reputation at stake: This time one of the victims is his niece in this "taut, riveting thriller" (Fox-TV).

My Thoughts:
This is a great suspense thriller. I really enjoyed Morgan Freeman as Alex Cross. I decided to watch this movie after blind buying the movie Along Came A Spider and seen Morgan Freeman plays the same character in that one as he does here. So I am betting you will be able to guess what the next movie I watch will be. Tatyana M. Ali (Ashley on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) plays Alex's niece who was kidnapped in this movie. So it was pretty cool to see that familiar face as well. I definitely recommend this movie if you never seen it.

A good episode. The dynamics between Fraser and new Ray are similar to season 1 Fraser and old Ray.
Starting with this episode Francesca will get a bigger role. She is taking over for Elaine at the police station.
