Chilling!

Advantages: Excellent special effects, gripping
Disadvantages: Story leaves much to be desired

When water temperature in the North Atlantic begins to drop significantly it would appear to be a warning of things to come, or at least that’s what Professor Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid) thinks. He tries to convince the government that there is a natural disaster on the way but they refuse to believe the theories of a climatologist. Suffice to say Jack is right and soon after, horrendous weather hits the world, engulfing it with water and snow and when ...
...death on the spot. While this natural disaster is occurring, Jack’s son Sam (Jake Gyllehaal) is in New York for a competition with a few friends, when the weather worsens they’re forced to take shelter in a public library and Jack promises to rescue his son… but will he be too late?

Review of The Family Man (DVD)

Devdas DVD - AMAZING SETS, BEAUTIFUL COSTUMES AND A GREAT CAST

Advantages: good cast, great cinematography
Disadvantages: its a little too coey for the guys

...The love triangle of Paro, Devdas and Chandramukhi. Chanrumukhi is the most interesting character to me because she is perceived by society as a strong 'iron maiden' type figure who can stand up to anyone. However it is she who ultimately sacrifices more than Paro as she devotes her life to serve and love Devdas. In my view this film definitely leaves the viewer entertained from start to finish ...
