DVD Review 2 BROKE GIRLS THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON  Sassy, brassy, crude, vulgar are some of the terms for this hilarious wise-racking comedy that is into its third season on network primetime. Here is season two where the gloves really come off. From hipsters to genitals to life in Brooklyn, no target is off limits to waitresses Max & Caroline. Read More... DVD Review DOWNTON ABBEY SEASONS ONE & TWO LIMITED EDITION  It is rare when something lives up to the hype. Downton Abbey is Golden Globe winning, Emmy winning and everybody is talking about it and making fun of it. It is a phenomenon that is found on public television. It is simply great fun to watch. Highly recommended. Read More... DVD Review FLORENCE AND THE SPIRIT OF THE RENAISSANCE  A flawed documentary that is saved by the fact the city of Florence and its relationship to the Renaissance is endlessly fascinating in itself. Read More... DVD Review NAZI COLLABORATORS  Political opportunism is a common human trait. In World War II, many Europeans hitched their wagon the evil caravan that was Nazism. This series exposes shocking details about people who cooperated with Adolph Hitler to exploit, dominate and murder in their own countries. Read More... DVD Review KATT WILLIAMS: KATTPACALYPSE  Kattapacalypse is pretty funny, but ultimately unsatisfying and not worthy of multiple viewings. Katt Williams is a funny dude but his material here is choppy and disjointed. He comes onto the stage like a lion abut by the end is laying down with the lambs. Read More... DVD Review BARACK OBAMA: FROM HIS CHILDHOOD TO THE PRESIDENCY  A repackaging of a biography of Barack Obama that includes some superficial updates to attempt relevance for its release just prior to the 2012 Presidential election. Not a good effort from A&E on this. A fantastic American story of an American President deserves better. Read More... DVD Review THE DEAN MARTIN VARIETY SHOW UNCUT  Campy, shlocky, silly and imminently entertaining, The Dean Martin Variety Show roped in viewers week after week during its entire run. This set contains six full episodes in all their uncut glory. Read More... DVD Review GEORGE HARRISON: LIVING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD  Long and engrossing, Living in the Material World tells the story of the "quiet Beatle" George Harrison. Archive footage, private photos, and personal anecdotes paint this glossy portrait of the musician, artist and religious philosopher. Read More... DVD Review NORMAN MAILER: THE AMERICAN  This is an often unpleasant tale of a celebrated writer that is told frankly and openly by people who knew him personally. Director Joe Mantegna weaves their commentary into a visual history of the latter half of the last century and evokes an intriguing portrait of one its most important chroniclers. Norman Mailer: The American gives a multi-faceted answer to the question: who was that guy? Read More... DVD Review DARK SHADOWS: THE GREATEST EPISODES COLLECTION - FAN FAVORITES  Some entertainment franchises go on and on. A new movie version and a new Complete Series Collection helps keep Dark Shadows on top of the heap. Barnabas and friends chilled us as children and now reaches a whole new generation of fans in a whole new form. This sampler of nine episode drawn from the entire run of the show provides a taste of the shows recipe of mixing soap opera, Gothic horror and supernatural horror. From the angst of cursed vampire Barnabas Collins to the iron-willed witchcraft of Angelique Bouchard to the wide-eyed horror of the haunted and hunted Maggie Evans to the glib tortured soul Quentin Collins, the shows characters and themes created a rich tapestry of occult television that resonates to this day. Read More... DVD Review JACK KEROUAC - KING OF THE BEATS  Jack Kerouac - King of the Beats delves into the history and mythology of a unique figure in American and world literary history. With the jazz and stream of his consciousness, Kerouac brought to life a slice of the American psyche. This documentary uses a free-form style to present the many facets of this literary icon and succeeds in give us a fascinating impression. A good answer to the question, "Who is Jack Kerouac and why do so many people care about him?" Read More... Press Release My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic: The Friendship Express on DVD Feb 28 - Shout! Factory  She may be the smartest unicorn in Equestria, but Twilight Sparkle gets an incomplete in friendship. There’s more to life than learning magic, after all: so Princess Celestia sends her pupil to Ponyville, where she meets five special ponies who take her on exciting adventures and teach her the most powerful magic of all . . . the magic of friendship! Read More... DVD Review ATLAS SHRUGGED PART 1  You have demanded it and now here it is. The screen adaptation of Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, or at least Part One on DVD. Yeah, I know you had good reason to avoid it in the theater, but now you can get your intellectual on in a big way. Well, maybe a little way. It's a good chance to get a "light on the sauce" taste of what the big meal is all about. Whether there is a there there is strictly a matter of taste. Read More... Press Release I Don't Know How She Does It on DVD & Blu-ray Jan 3 - Anchor Bay Entertainment  Trying to balance work and family is a non-stop juggling act for Kate Reddy (SarahJessica Parker). As a determined Boston-based finance executive, she devotes her day to her job and her night to her adoring husband Richard (Greg Kinnear) and their two young children. In between conference calls, meetings, deadlines, and her daughter's school bake sale, Kate manages to survive on a daily basis. But when she gets handed a major new account that will require frequent trips to New York, and Richard also wins the new job he's been hoping for, both will be spreading themselves even thinner. Read More... DVD Review SPARTACUS: GODS OF THE ARENA  Spartacus: Gods of the Area serves as a prequel, a continuation and an introduction to the Spartacus series. Definitely, if you don't like sex and violence in your televsion, then do not watch this show which from the first scene contains copious amounts of both. Featuring a hyper-reality graphic novel style and well-written characters, the mini-series fills the gap between the original show and the upcoming 2013 second season. Read More... Press Release The Liam Neeson Film Collection on DVD Nov 1 - Fox Home Entertainment  The ultimate DVD set for any Neeson fan. Titles include: The Bounty, A Prayer for the Dying, High Spirits, Shining Through, Nell, Rob Roy, Kinsey, Kingdom of Heaven and Taken. Read More... Blog Box Office Charts From Box Office Mojo Mar 25-27 TW LW Title Studio Gross($Mill) Posted by: Jesse Shanks - March 27, 2011, 10:16 pm - Article DVD Review THE RICKY GERVAIS SHOW THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON  The content of the show is fairly simple. Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant sit down with Karl Pilkington and ask him questions or lead him into conversation. Hilarity ensues and there is simply no telling where the threads are going to lead when the three get going. A large part of comedy is the bullying of Karl by Ricky in his aggressive way and Stephen in his passive way. Many of their insults pertain to the roundness of Karl's head. Some of it can be a bit mean-spirited, but there is no doubt that Ricky Gervais has one of the most infectious laughs on television. Read More... Blog Box Office Charts From Box Office Mojo Nov 12-14 TW LW Title Studio Gross($Mill) Posted by: Jesse Shanks - November 17, 2010, 2:22 pm - Article DVD Review SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND  The story of Spartacus has been told many times for many reasons. This newest version, Spartacus: Blood and Sand which first aired on STARZ, is a potent mix of violence, sex and intrigue. A high-powered cast, innovative technology and solid writing has wired together one of the most entertaining historical action series ever. Read More... DVD Review CRASH: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON  While not the best show on TV or DVD, Crash can be diverting and fun in a pulpy kind of way, like a decent detective novel. But, it seems like there should be more. Read More... DVD Review MAN VS. WILD WITH BEAR GRYLLS SEASON 3  Can be an entertaining ride for the bug-eating, urine-soaking, alligator-wrestling crowd. Read More... DVD Review SUPER FRIENDS: THE LOST EPISODES  There is a simple refreshing quality to these tales of action and adventure. Engaging for youngsters and generally not offensive in their content, these discs will provide a reasonable amount of entertainment. Not too bad a deal. Read More... DVD Review JASON ALDEAN: WIDE OPEN LIVE & MORE  if you are looking for a harder edge to your country music, Jason Aldean might be the ticket with hits like "She's Country" and "Big Green Tractor". Read More... DVD Review ONE TREE HILL: THE COMPLETE SIXTH SEASON  Love it or hate it, the show is increasing in popularity. There is a big risk to its continuance with the significant cast changes in store for the next season. The DVD provides the nice "soap-opera-on-disc" continuity that allows the viewer to blend the episodes together and find new levels of continuity that are not available in the weekly, commercial interrupted versions. Read More... Contributor Bio
Info I have been a fan of movies for my whole life and have even took some time to study them in college. I would say that my favorite director is Stanley Kubrick. My favorite star is Marlon Brando. My favorite movie is probably The Godfather, but that is hard to say. I enjoy classic film, as well.
