Overview	A fictional political thriller based on the London terrorist bombings of 7/7 and the subsequent police order to 'Shoot on Sight', the film unfolds the turmoil of the life of Tariq Ali, a Muslim police officer at Scotland Yard. Commander Ali, born in Lahore and married to an English woman, is tasked to investigate the police shooting of a suspected Muslim terrorist in the London Underground. Distrusted not only by his superiors in the police but also by his fellow Muslims, he finds his inquiry hampered from all sides. When evidence surfaces pointing to the slain man's innocence, as well as the existence of a terrorist cell operating in his own back yard, Tariq must face the realization that, sometimes, the right decision is the hardest one to make.
My thoughts	This is a film about racism and terrorism. The fact that it is a low budget film is actually a plus, because it keeps things realistic. It may seem a bit like a TV drama, but again not a problem in my opinion. Some great acting helps a lot. Naseeruddin Shah is really good as Tariq Ali. Brian Cox is almost always good, and this is no exception. Over all the film shows a very balanced view of the problems. Sure the muslim extremists come across as scary, but then again pretty much all extremism is scary.

The unplanned abduction quickly accelerates into a high-speed race for the Mexican border with Jack at the wheel of Natalie's BMW and a multitude of others in hot pursuit. Soon the fleeing couple realizes they're 'both' desperate to escape, as the chase - and their comical, high-spirited romance - shifts into high gear!

Extras:
Closed Captioned
Scene Access
Trailers

A fun little car chase movie with the lovely Kristy Swanson. But this car chase would have been over really soon, because Charlie Sheen always had the steering wheel about 90-180 degrees to the left (or was is right?) when driving straight on the freeway
And funny, how the interior of the car switched from a BMW 3 series to a BMW 5 series (which is totally different) during the love-making scene

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

King of Queens
The man. The myth. The driver. Doug Heffernan (Kevin James) is THE KING OF QUEENS, but his wife Carrie (Leah Remini) really rules the roost. Doug is the ultimate guy's guy, but he loves Carrie so much he's willing to sacrifice his tricked-out rec room (plus his 70-inch TV) so that her father Arthur (Jerry Stiller) can move in, a decision he's regretted ever since. Doug's free time is split between quality time with his wife and play time with his buds. A parade of crazy neighbors and oddball citizens of New York's middle-class borough help make this show the reigning comedy champ. THE KING OF QUEENS proves you don't have to have a huge castle to live like royalty.

Pilot
Doug gives up his personal paradise to make room for Carrie's dad, Arthur.

My Thoughts:
This is a fun show with likable characters. Leah Remini is fun to watch... and is definitely cute in this show. Jerry Stiller is hilarious to watch. Kevin James is pretty good as well... though I never really cared much for him. This is another show I am very behind in collecting as I only have the first season.

My Rating:
