Now I remember what other reason I had wishlisting this Blu-ray besides starring (and written by) Jason Segel, who I knew from "Freaks and Geeks". It was lovely Mila Kunis.
It was also great to see other familiar faces like Jack McBrayer from "30 Rock" and Paul Rudd.
After the disappointing "Superbad" now a Judd Apatow produced movie again which I really enjoyed.
What really surprised me (this being an American movie), are the numerous male frontal nudity scenes. Looks like Americans finally are loosening up a little

As I am currently in the mood to watch Asian cinema, I thought this would be right moment to rewatch this movie for this thread. This is a nice little romance movie and it deals a little with the fear of gay people living in the Japanese society. It is not a tragic movie but gives a positive outlook for all people involved.

Blood Ties Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

4. Gifted
When the mother of an 8-year-old girl is killed in suspicious circumstances, Vicki & Henry investigate and discover that the girl may be more involved then they thought. Meanwhile Mike deepens his investigation on Henry, and confronts him with the startling information he's found.

Guest Stars:
Keith Dallas
Francoise Yip
Cassandra Sawtell
Gordon Michael Woolvett

My Thoughts:
This is the last episode on disc 1. Sure I have seen the child with mental powers storyline before... but I really enjoyed this episode. I had wondered if Vicki's ex partner Mike would find out what Henry is. And that question was answered in this episode. But didn't go into very much detail on it. As it happened right at the end of the episode. Making it so I can't wait to see the next episode!

My Rating:
