Starship Troopers, a review by addicted2dvd

Starship Troopers
From the bridge of the Fleet Battlestation Ticonderoga, with its sweeping galactic views, to the desolate terrain of planet Klendathu, teeming with shrieking, fire-spitting brain-sucking special effects creatures, acclaimed director PAUL VERHOVEN crafts a dazzling epic based on Robert A. Heinlein's classic sci-fi adventure.
CASPER VAN DIEN, DINA MEYER, DENISE RICHARDS, JAKE BUSEY, NEIL PATRICK HARRIS, PATRICK MULDOON, and MICHAEL IRONSIDE star as the courageous soldiers who travel to the distant and desolate Klendathu system for the ultimate showdown between the species.

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed this one... but I have seen better... though I will admit that it is beyond a little far fetched... but I think that is to be expected from anything set in the future. This is a movie that don't take itself too seriously though. It is almost like watching a live-action comic book. Which I guess is what makes it more of a fun watch then anything else.

27 Dresses, a review by Rich

Title: 27 Dresses

Runtime:111
Certificate:12
Year:2008
Genres:Romance, Comedy

Plot:Katherine Heigl (Knocked Up, Grey's Anatomy) finds the perfect fit in this sexy stylish film from the screenwriter of The Devil Wears Prada..
Sassy, smart, single Jane (Heigl) is the perfect friend - but looking after other people's perfect moments can sometimes land you in hot water, especially when you have friends to please, a sister's wedding to organise, a boss you secretly love and a handsome stranger thrown into the mix! What's a girl to do? Discover how Jane juggles life, love, laughter, a wardrobe of dresses and multiple weddings in this fabulous feel good film. With an all star cast including Ed Burns (The Holiday, She's The One) and James Marsden (Enchanted, XMen), 27 Dresses is this season's must-have accessory.
My Review:
Mildly entertaining fluff, gently amusing and reasonably acted.
Not enough rom and not enough com to make it stand out, and will fall into the 'soon to be forgotten' category. The characters are fairly dull, the script is cliche riddled, and it is ridiculously obvious from the beginning.
The film could have cut away at least half an hour and the viewer wouldn't have noticed, except for less boredom.
One to miss unless you catch it on TV on a rainy Sunday afternoon, dvd player not working, and your leg in a cast.

Smallville: The Complete Fifth Season, a review by addicted2dvd

Smallville: The Complete Fifth Season (2005/United States) CLARK KENT now carries a full load of classes at Central Kansas U., but that's not all he carries. He carries the full weight of his - perhaps the world's - destiny. "We call this season 'Superman in Training'," series co-creator Alfred Gough says. "Clark is going to accept his destiny." During this exciting pivotal season: The Fortress of Solitude rises. Clark faces rogue KRYPTONIANS. LEX LUTHOR launches a vicious political campaign. The FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE rises. Clark's love for LANA LANG deepens, and he and LOIS LANE remain friendly adversaries. He also crosses paths with AC (aka AQUAMAN), VICTOR STONE (aka CYBORG) and the mysterious Milton Fine (aka Brainiac). A dark tragedy - one even Clark's powers can't prevent - strikes. These and more key elements of Superman lore fall into place. The future MAN OF STEEL grows another year bolder in this bonus-packed DELUXE 6-DISC DVD SET. Episodes: 1. Arrival 2. Mortal 3. Hidden 4. Aqua 5. Thirst 6. Exposed 7. Splinter 8. Solitude 9. Lexmas 10. Fanatic 11. Lockdown 12. Reckoning 13. Vengeance 14. Tomb 15. Cyborg 16. Hypnotic 17. Void 18. Fragile 19. Mercy 20. Fade 21. Oracle 22. Vessel

I finished off the 5th season last night. Another very good season. In this season we have two guest superheroes showing up. First there is Auquaman and then there is Cyborg. This season we also get the first holiday themed episodes. While it don't come out and say it... there is a Halloween episode in Thirst with a vampire sorority. And then there is also Lexmas for a Christmas episode. This is also the season we say goodbye to John Schneider as Jonathan Kent.
