My Thoughts:
I wanted to watch this one... as I have seen the first Fantastic Four movie several times... but only ever watched this one once when I first got the DVD.  It has been so long in fact that I forgot most of the movie. While I think I liked the first one a bit more... this one is still a good movie that I enjoyed a lot. One that is just fun to sit back and watch.... without having to think about too much. I thought the Silver Surfer was done very cool. Jessica Alba looked amazing as always. Not sure how I felt about the changing of powers thing. I think it was fun for the most part... but didn't really care too much when Johnny had all 4 of their powers.

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5

My Thoughts:
The cover almost put me off buying this movie. But the synopsis sounded like I might enjoy it. And I am glad that I have bought it. I liked this movie.
It is about a guy, who broke two girls their hearts in the past. Now that he gets his heart broken, he feels bad and visits these two girls years later to ask for forgiveness.
I especially enjoyed the first romance. Mahi is a very sweet and cute character (second to right on the cover). She dreams about meeting her true love like in her favorite movie Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (a movie I also have reviewed). A fact which Raj exploits.

My PILOT Marathon, a review by Rich




Title: Father Ted: Series One

Certificate:15
Year:1995


Plot:The irreverent BritCom that has been called 'undoubtedly the finest comedy about three Catholic priests stuck on a tiny island off the Irish coast ever made' is now available on DVD. Features all six episodes of the highly-acclaimed premiere season, in which the trio's shaky grasp on reality is challenged by such things as the arrival of the world's worst funfair and the All Priests Stars-in-Their-Eyes Competition.

Good Luck, Father Ted
Ted gets his chance to be on TV when he is to be interviewed by a magazine programme. But 'FunLand', the most pathetic travelling fair ever invented has come to Craggy Island, and while Ted is distracted with Father Jack, Dougal seizes his moment of glory.


My Review:
Witty and intelligent comedy, that literally created a cult following in UK.
It felt a bit disjointed as the actors feel their way into their roles, and begin working together for the first time. Ardal O'Hanlon has the best lines in this opener, with Frank 'Feck Off' Kelly in top form. Personally I never found Dermot Morgan funny, but obviously a great loss nonetheless that he died young.
It's a nice blend of British comedy, at times quite subtle and character based, at others in your face brash and crass.
I've probaly seen 20 or so episodes at different times over the years, but will one day plan to watch the whole series in order, I will, I will, I will.
