A sweeping love story that is both touching and pathetic at the same time... a man moons over a woman he can't have for more than 50 years only to finally fulfill his dream when he has one foot already in the grave.

Javier Bardem shows his immense range as an actor with this performance. I find his character's life tremendously humorous as he pledges his undying love for one woman and yet as the years pass he gets more ass than a toilet seat. 

Hector Elizondo is great as his uncle and benefactor who mentors and grooms his nephew in business while unwillingly catering to his ridiculous obsession.

Women will love this movie for obvious reasons. Men will like it for the buckets full of irony and the many exposed boobies.

This is one I never even heard of before getting the disc. Not sure how I missed it coming out. But then again I don't watch live TV like I used to... ever since getting the DVR years ago I just record all I watch and fast forward through all the commercials. After watching this one I must say I am a little let down. Not really a bad movie... but there really nothing special about it. I found I didn't really care about the characters. Just not enough development I guess. And the storyline itself failed to really pull me in. But I did enjoy some of the haunting scenes. I would say basically an average film. If you check this one out don't expect much. At the same time don't worry about missing this one.

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

Earth 2


First Contact Part 1 and 2
Billionaire Devon Adair disregards government warnings when she hears of a new planet that offers hope for her Syndrome-stricken son, Ulysses. Together with a crew of hopeful "colonists," they embark on the journey to the Earth-like planet, G889, which is 22 light-years away.

My Thoughts:
I heard some good things about this series. So I blind bought it when I found the set on sale for about $15. After watching this double length pilot is that I hope it gets better. I mean it is not terrible... but it is far from what I would consider good. I just found the show slow... and found I wasn't caring about the characters. At least not up to this point.

My Rating:
