Friends:The Complete First Season
Where it all began. Friends is one of my favorite of all time. Going back watching that Freshman Season is just great. You can see it. The great cast, the good writing. The first season introduces to six unique people.
Ross and his bewilderment over his soon to be ex-wife turned lebian which I think was one of the most clever and funny things in any sitcom. Monica the chef who dates every type of guy from a pretty charmer to a college freshman. Joey the struggling actor and ladies man. Chandler the wise-cracking neurotic. Pheobe the eccentric loner and Rachel the daddy's girl. The combanation of all makes a great blend of comedy.

The Andy Griffith Show-The Complete First Season
The Andy Griffith show is wonderful. The first season shines. The show revolves around wider Andy Taylor(Andy Griffith), son Opie(Ron Howard) and Aunt Bee. At work he has faithful Deputy Barney Fife(the late great Don Knotts.) Andy is good honest man and everyone is sleepy town of Mayberry looks to him for guidance.
Right from the start you love all. The characters play off each wonderfully. If this show does not give you a good feeling very little will.

The Wedding Date
The Wedding Date was a disappointment. Kat (Debra Messing) plays a women who returns home to London for her sisters wedding where her Ex is the best man. So she hires an escourt(Dermont Malroney) to be her date.
The story is flat and slow. Kat and the escourt have no chemisty neither do she and her Ex. I was bored within 30 minutes.

TV: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
I am so tired of people bashing Studio 60. Its no West Wing, Sorkin istrying to hard. Blah Blah Blah. First its not meant to be West Wing and second Sorkin is Sorkin. From someone who sick of Reality Shows(which by the way there no such thing) Its great see a decent drama.
There are what three of four Law & Order and three CSIs. For all its Freshman woes at least Studio 60 is orignal.

The New Blockbuster Online
For months now Blockbuster has been promoting the launch of a new site. Bigger, better faster type thing. It finally it was up yesterday. I must say it did look good. However that is where it ended. Moving things in the Q was nearly impossible. Removing something required a right click then took another two minutes. Every other time you go do anything you timed out. I haven't timed out since I ran a 28K moderm.
Note to Blockbuster if you are going to promote something for 6 months, when you do put it out, Get it right.

The Simpsons-The Complete Third Season
Friends-The Complete Teneth Season
Friends the Comeplete Teneth Season is really really good. The fact that it is my favorite TV show makes me a little bias but just a little. The season of a show can at times be a letdown but the last season of Friends had some great episodes. It really came full circle. That last episode was one for the ages.

The Comeback-First and only Season
I am Lisa Kudrow fan so I was looking forward to seeing this. She was good but the show was just bad. It was about wash up sitcom star that was looking for fame again. Her search was also documented as a reality show. That is where it lost me. Had it just be her looking to find sucess it would be fine. Why does everything have to a reality something? HBO just tried to hard to be different.

LOST The Complete First Season
When this was first on I thought How far can it really go? People on an island not a lot to work with there. Then a few friends said how great it was and final I said what the hell. I got first disc from Blockbuster Online. Fifteen minutes into the pilot episode I was hooked.
Great writing, a tremendous cast. I am so glad I watched via DVD. I don't have people get by on one a week.

I was so envious of William yet proud at the same time. He followed and lived his dream. How many of us can really say that?
The acting the music.........just greatness...

You feel her every emotion and feel as frustrated as she does.

Elizabethtown
I've been looking forward seeing this movie since I saw the first previews for it. I was not disappointed.
Elizabethtown is the story of love, loss and finding yourself. After losing his job Drew goes home, throws all his stuff on the sidewalk and plans his suicide. He interrupted by the news of his father's death. He is sent to Elizabethtown to bring back his dad's remains and that is where his life reallt begins.
The entire movie is a great lesson of really living life. The last 15-30 minutes are amazing.

Mr. Smith Goes To Washington(Again)
I reviewed this movie a while ago, but I fell asleep during much of it. So here's goes again.
Jimmy Stewart playsJefferson Smith a young country man elected to the US Sentate. It is a great honor for Jeff. However he soon finds that is being used.
Stewart is wonderful as always

Farris Bueller's Day Off
Who knew a guy with the name Farris could be cool? We all think making a movie is fun, but people that make say its very techical and long hours. No one could ever convice me making this movie wasn't fun.
Being an 80's teen, I didn't enjoy many of high school "Brat Pack" movies. The characters were broding and anger was cool. But not Farris, he enbraced life. Yes he lied did things that teens only dreamed of but people loved him for it.
I could never had a day like Farris, the guilt would have gotten me before I hit the front door.
But I'll watch Farris do it over and over again.

Spiderman 2
Usually movie sequels don't live up to the original movie. This is not the case with Spiderman 2. The movie picks up where the firdt left off with Peter Parker leading his double life. We find that he is having a lot of internal struggles. His life as Spiderman is holding him back from the things he wants. I think the guilt over uncle's death is really keeping him torn.
Once again the acting in this movie is really good. Something rarely seen in movie with such major special effects.

Clone Wars
Clone Wars is a short animation Star Wars movie that takes place between episodes 1 and 2. The amination is really good and the voices as well, but nothing compares with the true Star Wars.

Spiderman
A great great movie. I watched it for second time today and realized two things. One, the acting was really good. Two, on some level its a story of love. In a movie with much action and special effects the acting is rarely noticed. Tobey was great. You could feel his loss and not only losing his uncle but also the loss of life as he knows it in becoming Spiderman. The love Peter has for MJ is clear. But we also see the love he has for his family in the choices he makes.

National Treasure
Nicholas Cage was great in this fast-paced drama. His character Ben Gates is looking for treasure whose legend has been in his family for decades.
To get it he must steal the Declaration of Independence. And he just might get the girl.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
I wasn't sure about this movie. I was read the book as a small child and haven't seen the 1971 version. However I was very impressed. The cast(although pretty unknown aside from Johnny Depp) was great. Charlie's character was a great kid whose family had very little but were happy.
The storytelling and setting was amazing. The way Grandfather set the story in motion. Just perfect.
Watching this I felt like I had been given a "Golden Ticket."

Pretty Woman
This is the only Julia Roberts movie I like. It was really her first movie and I think that ia why she was so good. Her acting flowed she was real. Now it seems like she tries to hard to be a character.
Rivhard Gere was good as well. The perfect suit and tie business man. He and Roberts were great. The brought out great acting in each other.

School of Rock
Never been a big Jack Black fan. Or I should I have never been a big fan of the type of movie he has done. School of Rock changed my view of him. He likable and even sweet in this roll, I think anyone who has ever dreamed of being a rock star will love this movie.
