There are three kinds of married people in the world. First, whose marriages are arranged, I've never quite understood that, but I'm sure they know what they're doing. Then there are those who fall in love and marry their soul mates. These few, I believe, are the most fortunate people in the world. And lastly, there are those couples that marry for their parents, for money or play it safe and marry a friend. These are the most unfortunate ones in the world - and they don't even know it. Until one day, riding the fast train of life they run into their soulmate, and are faced with the hardest question of all. What do you do when you meet the love of your life and you're married to someone else? What do you do?

A great movie. I liked that the two marriages which are falling apart are not shown as to be entirely of one party's fault. It even goes so far, that as a viewer you almost feel guilty, that you are rooting for Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukherji to get together, even though they both have great spouses who do not deserve the heartbreak.
This is an all-star cast and all of them did a great job! And though I didn't expect it from this movie, they were several laugh out scenes in it. There is even an in-joke to "Koi... Mil Gaya" which also starred Preity Zinta.

Plot:
It's the first comet to buzz the planet in 65 million years, and everyone seems to be celebrating its imminent arrival! Everyone, that is, except for Regina Belmont (Catherine Mary Stewart), and her younger sister Samantha (Kelli Maroney), two valley gals who care more about meteoric fashion trends than celestial phenomena. But upon daybreak, when the girls discover that they're the only residents of Los Angeles whom the comet hasn't either disintegrated or turned into a zombie, they...well, they go shopping! But when their day of malling threatens to become a day of the mauling, these two val gals flee with both killer zombies and blood-seeking scientists in hot pursuit!

I was looking through my DVDs and this one popped out at me. I haven't watched this one in a good 5 years. This is a movie that I just find plain fun... nothing more then that. Just "leave your brain at the door" fun. It has a nice mixture of comedy that works well in my opinion. It is just a shame that they did not add any type of extras for this one. A definite treat for anyone that likes '80s horror. If you never seen this one... you should give it a chance.

Fraggle Rock
1.01 Beginnings
I enjoyed the Fraggles growing up. I always liked the Builders. Interestingly, Fraggles was localized by having the old man be portrayed by different people and even slightly different characters.
This first episode does a good job introducing us to the setting and the characters.
