My Thoughts:
This is the third time I watched this movie since I bought it. I bought it on the suggestion of a friend. But the first time I watched it I just couldn't get into it. It bored me to the point that I dosed off more then once trying to watch it. My friend then convinced me to give it another try. The second time I watched it I actually found myself enjoying it. It has been quite a while since I watched it... so thought I would pop it in today. While it is not really a bad movie... it will never be a favorite of mine. Just something different to watch every few years.

Disturbia, a review by Eric

Just finished watching Disturbia.

Very good movie.  I was hook within the first few minutes
Although it's a bit of a teen movie, it's still very well thought and well done, not like your typical teen stuff where you can see things coming 5 minutes in advance and watch them happen with no surprise.

Overall a very good movie, I don't regret breaking my 10$ rules on this one.

Gonna make pop-corn and watch Fracture now.

My PILOT Marathon, a review by Rich

Thin Blue Line - Series 1

Episode 1 - The Queen's Birthday Present
Inspector Fowler and Sergeant Patricia Dawkins are celebrating their 10-year anniversary. Patricia is under the impression that Raymond is looking frantically for an ideal gift for her, when instead he's preparing for the birthday of the Queen.



The star (Rowan Atkinson) and cowriter (Ben Elton) of the phenomenally successful Black Adder series turned to a more traditional sitcom format in The Thin Blue Line. Atkinson plays Inspector Fowler, a rather plodding policeman whose officers are, to say the least, unlikely to strike fear into the hearts of hardened criminals. Fowler's nemesis is the local plain-clothes detective Inspector Grim, who thinks that the key to his job is wearing a leather jacket and shouting, "Go, go, go!" a lot.

How this dreadful 'comedy' lasted 2 series is a mystery, it is junk for the masses and a dreadful shame to see some good actors wasted. I would liken it to a modern day Dad's Army, without the humour or class.
The 1st episode is used to introduce the characters, their relationships and rivalries, and their particular quirks. The characters are stereotypes from a bygone era, and none appeal, leaving you searching for a reason to view this series further.
For me a real misfire from some pretty good writers and acting talent. In fact the only blue line I could probably stomach again in a hurry would be a motorcycle tyre mark after it had ridden over this dvd!
