Plot:
Love knows no boundaries when a fiery lesbian love affair between two Romanian students is put to the test. It's Alex's first year at university and her world turned upside-down when she meets savvy and sexy Kiki. Despite her lover's baggage, the naive freshman falls head over heels in love.
But threatening their bliss is Kiki's emotionally explosive brother whose attachment to her seems downright incestuous. Directed with a poetic eye, Love Sick spins its quick wit and hard-edged romance into a sublimely sensual portrait of first love.

My Thoughts:
This is my first Romanian movie. I always was interested seeing one, since I work daily with Romanian colleagues. But they couldn't recommend me a good one. Last week I stumbled across this one while browsing Amazon. I enjoyed this movie. On Wikipedia it is said to be often compared to "My Summer of Love". There are some similarities, but I enjoyed "Love Sick" more.

Land of the Lost, a review by addicted2comics
Land of the Lost
Description:On his latest expedition, Dr. Rick Marshall is sucked into a space-time vortex alongside his research assistant and a redneck survivalist. In this alternate universe, the trio make friends with a primate named Chaka, their only ally in a world full of dinosaurs and other fantastic creatures.
My Thoughts: It was great, very hilarious in the begining. They changed a lot of things up which is fine. It had a lot of jokes which I really wouldn't find all that funny, considering the two making jokes are adult men, so there really wouldn't be a basis of relating to it, but a lot was funny, like at one point Rick was eaten by "Grumpy" and then pooped out! For these reasons I will give it a 4 out of 5.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Complete Second Season marathon, a review by Achim
11. Self Made Man
Cameron never sleeps, so what does she do at night? Chase a T-888 that?s been lost in time.
My comments:
This episode concentrates entirely on Cameron investigating the past. We get a little of John and nothing of anyone else. Cameron has apparently paid regularly visits to the local library, where she bribed the night watch (with donuts) to let her in. She uses her time there to find someone in the past and looks for the connection to the future.
I mostly enjoys crime films where the story slowly unravels to eventually reveal the big picture and on occasion give as a
moment. No exception here. There is quite a bit witty dialog (two of Cameron's bon mots made me laugh out loud) and the detective work runs along at a steady pace. But here's the rub, which happens often with this kind of stories: the "timing" is off. By that I mean that the entire investigation (plus Cameron's "problem solving at the end) happens in one single night. Going through records, finding film clips, having conversations, connecting the dots (no pun intended) and all they need is a couple of hours...? Fail (this is where I deduct one notch in the rating). Another problem is that I felt lots of lag, where I thought the story could speed up a bit and move along; luckily those are moments never lasted very long.John's story is merely a side note and shows him getting closer to Riley. I did not like this section at all and him suddenly bursting put and almost beating the crap out of a guy who is already down felt out of place to me.
