Plot:
A ticking-time bomb insomniac (Edward Norton) and a slippery soap salesman (Brad Pitt) channel primal male aggression into a shocking new form of therapy. Their concept catches on, with underground "fight clubs" forming in every town, until a sensuous eccentric (Helena Bonham Carter) gets in the way and ignites an out-of-control spiral toward oblivion.

The New York Times raved that FIGHT CLUB "just might require another viewing." Here's your chance. Brace yourself.

It has been awhile since I last saw this movie. It is a good movie with very good performances. And it can be enjoyed even knowing the twist. Maybe even more so. But it is not a movie I can watch again and again.

With Six You Get Eggroll, a review by GSyren

Title	With Six You Get Eggroll (5-014437-864437)
Director	Howard Morris
Actors	Doris Day, Brian Keith, Pat Carroll, Barbara Hershey, George Carlin
Produced	1968 in United States
Runtime	91 minutes
Audio	English Dolby Digital 5.1
Subtitles	Danish, English, Finnish, French, Norwegian, Swedish
Overview	Doris Day and Brian Keith have a field day in this clever up-beat romantic tale of love, marriage, kids and coping. Abby (Day) is a self-sufficient widow with three rambunctious sons. Jake (Keith) is a mild-mannered father of a stubborn 18-year-old daughter. Put them all together and you've got one outrageous family! Featuring a hilarious supporting cast, including Barbara Hershey, Jamie Farr, William Christopher and George Carlin (in his first movie role), this high-spirited laugh fest will keep you smiling long after the happy ending.
My thoughts	As my friends know, I am a huge Doris Day fan. People have said that Doris' later films are not her best, and this being her last I wasn't sure that I was going to enjoy it. I need not have worried. It may not be her best, but it's certainly not her worst either. It plays a bit like a sitcom, and there isn't much chemistry between Doris and Brian Keith. But there are some good bits, and Doris still looks good in her mid forties. I don't know why she decided to not do any more films, but the upside is that she quit while she was still at the top. If you're a Doris Day fan, then this is a no-brainer. If not, well, it's an hour and a half of harmless entertainment, but certainly not essential viewing.
My rating

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

17. SECONDS
Lex's dark plot to win Lois could mean Eternal amnesia for her... and disaster for the citizens of Metropolis.

My Thoughts:
This one is definitely better then the last one. I still don't care for this story line but it is improving.


18. FORGET ME NOT
Hoping to regain her memory, Lois enters a clinic where patients die at on alarmingly rapid rate.

My Thoughts:
This one I liked a little more the the previous few. I like where it is going with the amnesia story. At least the way they are getting between Lois and Clark now makes sense... somewhat.


19 OEDIPUS WRECKS
Back to work... and back to square one. As work partners only, Lois and Clark track down a mind-altering machine.

My Thoughts:
This is the last episode of the amnesia storyline... while not bad storyline I am glad it is over.


20. IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL
High school reeked - at least for one of Lois's old classmates, who hatches a diabolical plan for revenge.

My Thoughts:
This one is a silly but fun episode. I had to laugh when a shrunken Superman compared himself to Mighty Mouse. That is a cartoon I haven't thought of in many years!


21. THROUGH A GLASS, DARKLY
The Krypton connection. Alien vistors with a secret objective create chaos for superman.

My Thoughts:
This is the first part of a 2 part seasons finale. And this is much... much better. Even though I was disappointed in this season for the most part... at least lit is ending on a very high note. This episode has a guest star of Justine Bateman... who played Malory on Family Ties.


22. BIG GIRLS DON'T FLY
Destiny. Krypton is in peril, but to save his home planet Superman must forsake friends, family - and Lois.

My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed the two-part season finale this season. Matter of fact after watching these I remembered when they originally aired it was this 2-part episode that gave me hope for season 4... as I felt the show went down hill so bad this season.
