Plot:
Falling in Love. It's very easy to do. Being in love - now that's the tough part!

Join us as we say 'Salaam Namaste' to Nick (Saif Ali Khan) and Ambar (Preity Zinta) down under in the city of Melbourne. He's a Chef; she's a Radio Jockey. They're young, they're cool, they're independent - and together they make the BEST pair!

Or do they?

Surrounded by quirky friends, bosses and landlords but far away from home, Nick and Ambar take a huge leap of faith as they decide to move in together. And now they must tiptoe towards getting to know each other!

They are attracted to each other - but they fight. They live together, but as friends, in different rooms. They're in a relationship - but then again they're not. They seem to want the same things, but it seems that they have very little in common.

So are they really made for each other? Are they actually compatible? Is this whole thing worth it?

After all, if a relationship is what happens when you're busy not thinking about it - then what does it mean when everything has to be such a 'decision'?

Salaam Namaste gives us a quirky take on life, love and relationships as it looks at a fairy tale with a bit of a squint. Full of color, humor and zest it is an endearing look at what being in love really means!!!

A fun comedy about a couple who start out with a private war, because he didn't show up for a radio interview he was supposed to do in her show. Later on they meet without knowing with who they are dealing with and fall in love. Despite learning their true identities, they decide to live together to see, if there is a relationship in the cards, because otherwise they wouldn't have time to see each other in their busy schedules. First everything is perfect, until she gets pregnant and he is not at all happy about that she won't abort the baby.
Their landlord is a strange fellow: An Indian living in Australia wearing cowboy clothes and always on about not "trusting any Indians"

Plot:
It's the first comet to buzz the planet in 65 million years, and everyone seems to be celebrating its imminent arrival. Everyone, that is, except Regina Belmont (Catherine Mary Stewart, The Last Starfighter) and her younger sister Samantha (Kelli Maroney, Chopping Mall), two Valley Girls who care more about fashion trends than the celestial phenomenon. But upon daybreak, when the girls discover that they're the only residents of Los Angeles whom the comet hasn't vaporized or turned into a zombie, they do what all good Valley Girls do...they go shopping! But when their day of malling threatens to become a day of mauling, these gals flee with killer zombies and blood-seeking scientists in hot pursuit!

Extras:

• Scene Access
• Audio Commentary
• Feature Trailers

Sure this is a cheesy '80s flick..but it is one that I just find plain fun... nothing more then that. Just "leave your brain at the door" fun. It has a nice mixture of comedy that works well in my opinion. It is like a zombie flick with minimal use of zombies. I am so glad I upgraded this one to Blu-ray as the DVD release I had didn't have any extras.

Dark Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

12. Borrowed Time
When Max and Logan finally find a cure for their genetically engineered virus, it turns out to be only temporary. Their time together is limited and to make matters worse they have to stop a strange Manticore creation that is on the loose in Seattle and preying on people.

My Thoughts:
This was a good episode... I enjoyed it... even though I did feel that the main creature thing that Max had to go against was a bit over the top.

13. Harbor Lights
When Max is accidentally shot during a botched robbery attempt and taken to a local hospital for emergency treatment, her true transgenic identity is threatened with exposure when abnormal qualities show up in her medical test results.

My Thoughts:
This is another episode that I enjoyed. Of course they had to also put her in mortal danger at the same time. I can't put my finger on it... but this episode did remind me of a movie.

14. Love in Vein
Max must take on a cult of superhuman-blood addicts when she learns they're being led by a Manticore mutant intent on rebuilding an X-5 army.

My Thoughts:
Once again... really enjoyed it. In this episode they played around with the Vampire legend a bit. Of course it is just barely recognizable.... but it is there.

15. Fuhgeddaboudit
A genetically enhanced hypnotist targets Logan and Max, who reveals her true identity and Logan's secret activities before realizing that she is being manipulated as part of a deadly plan - but luckily she doesn't remember doing it.

My Thoughts:
This is one of the episodes I would categorize as good... but far from great. I liked the basic idea... I loved the fight between Max and Alec... I hated the hypnotist. She was extremely annoying!
