My Thoughts:

Slick little British thriller/whodunnit which explores the depths of obsession and the tragic turns it can take.

Four friends escape from dreary school life by partying in an old WWII bunker near the school campus but get accidentally locked in. Or was it an accident? The story unfolds in a series of flashbacks from the only survivor whom you don't know whether to believe or not.

Great cast with Thora Birch, Keira Knightley in an early role along with Desmond Harrington (Quinn from Dexter) and the classy Embeth Davidtz. The conclusion is pretty well mapped out for you but the crafty way in which you get there is neat to watch.

For a low budget movie that has flown under the radar I thought this was pretty good.

Plot:
It's an event that shook the world. Honest, unflinching and profoundly moving, United 93 tells the unforgettable story of the heroic passengers and crew members who prevented the terrorists from carrying out their plans for the fourth hijacked plane on September 11, 2001. As on-ground military and civilian teams scrambled to make sense of the unfolding events, forty people who sat down as strangers found the courage to stand up as one.

My Thoughts:

This is an interesting movie...not a movie I could say is enjoyable... but it is worth the time put in to watch it. It is a very hectic film... which is understandable considering the subject matter... but it also made it a little on the hard side to follow. I would have also liked to seen more of it taking place on the plane instead of at the control center.

The Cosby Show appeared on NBC from 1984 to 1992, becoming one of the most popular programs in the history of television. The Cosby Show depicted a close-knit and prosperous African-American family (The Huxtables) that dwelled in New York City. Dr. Heathcliff (OB-GYN) and Clair (attorney) Huxtable were a happily married, dual-profession couple with aspirations of raising their 5 children in an uplifting, positive environment. The Cosby Show held TV's #1 slot for a record 5 consecutive years (1985 to 1990) and stayed in the Top 20 shows for all eight seasons it was on NBC.

Enjoy all of the legendary final season episodes, such as "With This Ring" and "There's No Place Like This Home". The Cosby Show Season 8 contains 24 original, uncut episodes. Relive the love and laughter all over again for the first time!
