This is a story about a seven-year-old naughty yet innocent boy, who unknowingly turns a foe into a friend. This is a story about Banku and his friend, Bhoothnath - about innocence, honesty and the pure love of a child. It is believed a mother's love is selfless. But a child's love can transform relationships; it comes with no expectations and no boundaries. Their love can make you believe in miracles. A story about a little innocence, a little playfulness, and a lot of emotions that will touch hearts. This is a story that will show adults to see the world through the eyes of a child - an angel, a creation of god. It's then that one will realize what a beautiful world they live in after all.

A nice family movie. A bit silly at times, but overall very enjoyable. This movie is about a ghost, who haunts a house because he doesn't want anyone living there. Until a family moves in, of which the small boy encounters the ghost and doesn't fear him. Throughout the movie they become tight friends.
Amitabh Bachchan is very fitting as the grumpy ghost. Shah Rukh Khan's role is minor, as expected. He plays the absentee father. I liked the cinematography. Also the songs were fun. Though the first one, while I liked it, was a little disturbing:

The Animal, a review by addicted2dvd

The Animal: Special Edition
He might not look like much, but it's what's inside that counts. Comic genius Rob Schneider, TV's "Survivor" Colleen Haskell, John C. McGinley and Edward Asner star in the most outrageous and hysterical comedy of the year.

When evidence clerk Marvin Mange answers a 911 call of a burglary in progress, his dream of one day becoming a cop seems to be coming true. But a freak car accident en route to the crime leaves Marvin and his dream a shattered mess. When Marvin awakens a week later, he finds that a deranged scientist secretly used animal organs to rebuild his broken body. Energized by his new and improved parts, Marvin achieves instant fame as a super cop until his animal instincts start taking over his body at all the wrong times. And when he finds himself falling for the lovely and sexy Rianna, it's animal magnetism at its craziest in the funniest and wildest comedy of the year!

My Thoughts:
This is one that a friend gave to me because she didn't see herself watching it that often. I do know that have seen this one before... but it has been so long that I barely remember it. I didn't even remember if I enjoyed it much... so I went into this one not really knowing what to expect. It was a pretty good movie.... had some really funny parts in it. It was a bit more on the silly side then what I am normally used to... but that is to be expected with what the movie is about. This is a decent release of a special edition... I didn't watch many of the extras... but I did check out the deleted scenes. Anyway... is  a fun movie... and I can see myself watching it again at some point.

NCIS Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

17. RAVENOUS
A serial killer is suspected of murder after a missing Marine's dog tags are discovered in a national forest.

My Thoughts:
This is a good episode. It has a good storyline... and a good pace. I had to laugh at Tony when he saw how that woman he was flirting with didn't shave (her armpit hair and leg hair was twice as long as mine!). He thought fast... and I don't blame him!

My Rating:

18. BAIT
A high school student attaches a bomb to his body and holds his fellow students hostage. Gibbs and the NCIS team realize that someone else may be controlling the student from outside the school.

My Thoughts:
This is a great sepisode! Every time I watch this episode I am glued to the set watching. One of my favorites!

My Rating:

19. ICED
The body of a missing Marine is found in a frozen lake, The NCIS team investigates only to find three more bullet-ridden bodies.

My Thoughts:
Another really good episode. I liked the whole gang storyline.

My Rating:

20. UNTOUCHABLE
A Pentagon cryptographer, suspected of spying, apparently commits suicide. Gibbs and his team discover the cryptographer wasn't alone when she died.

My Thoughts:
While this is a good episode... it is a pretty standard one too. A good, interesting episode but nothing really standing out here to make this one great. Another episode that is more of a filler episode,
