THE RULES OF CHEATING

When you're in a committed relationship and have sex with another person it's not cheating if......

You're in different area codes.

You're with two people at the same time, because they cancel each other out.

But it is definitely cheating if you videotape it and someone accidentally mails the tape to your girlfriend, which to his horror is exactly what happened to Josh. Discovering the mistake, Josh tows two of his college buddies and one not so eager kid who happens to own the car on a raucous 1,800 mile road trip from Ithaca, New York to Austin, Texas to save his lifelong romance.

Road Trip Unseen & Explicit shows you what they didn't dare show at the cinema

I haven't watched this movie for years. I still enjoyed it though like I did then. The breakout character for me was DJ Qualls. Without him this movie would have only been half the fun. Seann William Scott is fun as a Stifler-like character. At the time of this movie's release it was still a rather new character, but he only seems to be doing it since. Though if all the making ofs and audio commentaries I have seen, which are mentioning him, are to be believed, Seann William Scott is a real nice guy in real life. Very different to his Stifler persona.
Another performance I enjoyed is Tom Green as the tour guide.

Supergirl, a review by addicted2dvd

Supergirl


My Thoughts:
For this viewing I decided to watch the Director's Cut version for the extra 24 minutes. Clocking in at 2hr. 18min... this movie is a little on the long side. But you really don't notice this when watching. The movie is just so much fun that it seems to be over before you know it. I think both Helen Slater and Faye Dunaway did a great job. Sure there was some parts of this movie that I found to be a little on the silly side... but to be honest that just made it more entertaining and I think the silliness was well balanced within the rest of the movie for the most part. Over-all I am glad I got the limited edition DVD when it was released. There is no extras what so ever on the Directors cut DVD but there is a few good things included on the International version DVD in the set.

Grey's Anatomy Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

5. Oh, The Guilt
The interns are invited to a "Morbidity and Mortality" session, which leads to guilty feelings among the staff. Derek and Addison outline the terms of their divorce while Izzie tries to decide what to do with her newfound wealth. Cristina and Burke work out a signal to keep his shaky hands a secret. A divorced couple who are "still stuck on each other" prove to be a challenge for the doctors.

My Thoughts:
This is a good, dramatic episode. And we have Izzy slowly making her way back into the hospital which I am glad to see since I always liked her on here.

My Rating:

6. Let The Angels Commit
When Izzie is cleared to return to work, she and Bailey are both challenged to prove themselves. Derek's visiting sister causes problems with Meredith. Alex is jealous when George is chosen to work with Addison on a very unique case, and Cristina's continued efforts to keep Burke's condition hidden create resentment with the rest of the interns.

My Thoughts:
Another good episode. Once again dealing mostly with the personal lives though it seems the series has gravitated to that being the main plot of the series.

My Rating:

7. Where The Boys Are
Derek invites Burke to accompany him on a camping trip, which leads to nearly every male at Seattle Grace coming along. George and Alex decide to settle their differences like men, which ends up putting Burke on the spot. Bailey confronts Cristina and demands to know what is being covered up. Izzie avoids meeting with her peer-counselor Sydney. Meredith and Mark treat a transsexual with breast cancer, and Addison deals with a difficult pregnant patient.

My Thoughts:
This is a good... but different type of episode. We see most the men doctors taking a camping/fishing trip. So it was kinda strange seeing these characters out in nature. But they did it well as they made it obvious that not all the characters were not that comfortable in this element.

My Rating:

8. Staring At The Sun
George is overwhelmed when his father is admitted as a patient, while Meredith is having an equally hard time with her mother. Alex and Izzie bond over a patient who refers to himself in the third person. Richard makes an important decision about his marriage, and Burke's condition becomes harder and harder to keep secret.

My Thoughts:
And once again... another good episode. I like where they are going with George's father in the hospital. It is a good character going through a tough time. I also like how he caught on to Dr. Burke's "secret". The doctors takes care of a little girl that got hit by an SUV that was backing out of a driveway. A good story... but I hate when stuff happen to little kids!
