The Benchwarmers, a review by addicted2comics

The Plot: A trio of guys try and make up for missed opportunities in childhood by forming a three-player baseball team to compete against standard little league squads.

My Thoughts:

Pretty good, kinda funny. Nice story about the underdogs coming up from behind. Really not much to say about this movie that hasn't already been said, I mean, I think it was pretty popular. Although with that rich baseball manager guy, I gotta say one thing: to me, K.I.T.T. looked a lot like the Batmobile during that one scene.

A Film With Me in It, a review by Silence_of_Lambs

Summary:
Mark (Mark Doherty) is an actor and really down on his luck. When his brother (David O'Doherty), landlord (Keith Allen) and dog are killed in a series of freak accidents, he calls on friend and neighbour Pierce (Dylan Moran), a wannabe-screenwriter with a severe alcohol problem, for help. As the series of deaths would appear suspicious, aspiring writer Pierce advises Mark not to call the police, and instead the two try to re-work the days events as if they were a film script.

My Thoughts:
Absolutely hilarious!
A "Must" for all friends of the dark humour from the British islands. But where the black humour of the Brits comes with surgical precision, this Irish production works with sledge hammers. Which in this case is definitely not a minus point.
From this movie you will get just about anything you expect from a good comedy: laughs, chuckles, several wide grins and a lot of "That didn't actually just happen!".
Great one! And once more the proof for my thesis that a good idea and enthusiasm make up for any lack of money.
What adds to the fun are the guest appearances of Jonathan Rhys Myers and Hugh O'Conor.

Highly recommended.

My Rating: (out of possible 5)

Dark Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

8. Gill Girl
Alec and Max set out to rescue an aquatic transgenic caught at sea from White, but the creature's mate throws a wrench into Max's plans. Meanwhile, Logan has a brush with death after he and Max get a little too close while babysitting his niece.

My Thoughts:
This episode was pretty good... but I think it could have been better. Not one of my favorites... that is for sure. Not that there is anything in particular wrong with it... it is just a good basic episode in my opinion.

9. Medium is the Message
Max and Logan find themselves caught up in a spellbinding kidnapping case, that takes surprising turns when they learn the boy is the son of the infamous Mr. White.

My thoughts:
Once again... a good episode... but nothing all that special about it. It does give you some info that (if I remember correctly) is needed for upcoming episodes... but just another basic episode.

10. Brainiac
When Asha's militant group comes under fire, Max figures that it's all because of a Manticore-engineered military strategist, another transgenic called Brain. Brain sets out to protect Max as best he can, after he's called upon to discover who really betrayed the group.

My Thoughts:
Now... this episode I enjoyed. I thought it was done well... had a load of action in it... and even a few laughs in it as well. I had to laugh when Brain was riding with Max on her motorcycle and she told him to watch his hands... to high!... so he lowered them and she said Too low now! LOL... I can't say I blame the guy at all!... she could give me a ride anytime! 

11. The Berrisford Agenda
While being haunted by music from the past, Alec must revisit one of his Manticore missions that went bad and resulted in the loss of his one true love. Max attempts to put the pieces of Alec's past together and upon discovery of the truth sets out to help him as best she can.

My Thoughts:
Another really good episode...This time we see a lot of flashbacks as Alec remembers one of his missions from Manticore... a mission that went wrong. In this episode we learn a lot about Alec... and why he is the way he is.
