The Simpsons-The Complete Fifith Season


This is a such a great DVD set. Homer Goes to College, Lisa vs Malibu Stacy and the best one of all Cape Feare. Anything with Sideshow Bob is just greatness.

Frasier-The Complete First Season


Its so much going back watching early Frasier. Like most shows the early stuff is the best. Such a great cast and well crafted writing.

Music Review: Shins-Wincing the Night Away


The Shins Wincing the Night Away is a great CD. The vocals flow like a river and the lyrics take you take to their own little world. If you enjoyed them on The Garden State Soundtrack you will love this CD.

A Good Year



I had not heard much if anything good about this movie, but I like Russell Crowe so I gave it a try. It was terrible. My thought was this why give Crowe an accent the one he has was perfectly fine.

Finding Neverland


Johnny Depp was superb in this movie. You fall in love with his character James Berry, a playwrite within minutes. It shows the true magic of love and friendship. James meets these four boys and their widow mother in the park and befriends them all. Through the boys he starts to delevop his next play. "Peter Pan"

I love John Mayer, this is great CD. I hadn't listed to it in forever and found it again and felt like I had a new CD.

9/10

Pirates of the Caribbean 2:Dead Man's Chest


I truly love Johnny Depp and was looking so forward to this movie. But I must admit I was disappointed. The movie dragged for the entire time and finally at the end there was no payoff. The end just begged for the next installment.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation


There is nothing like this movie to get you into the holiday mood. The part when the lights finally work is just the best.

Home Alone


Hard to imagine a holiday season without watching Home Alone. Silly corny for sure. But a classic nonetheless.

Da Vinci Code


I was a little gun-shy about this movie not wanting it to ruin the great experience of the book. It stayed pretty true to the book however and was very fast-paced. A great watch.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Teaser Trailer

The Break-Up


The Break-Up revolves around a couple (Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaugh) who break up and each refuse to move out of the condo thy share.

While flat at times being a big Aniston fan it was mildily enjoyable. I am so glad I didn't spend $8 at the movies. It wasn't a bad DVD.

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.

Living Single-The Complete First Season


Living Single is a great show. I am a big Queen Leitah fan. The support cast is great too. They work so well together the comedic timing is superb.

Cars


Cars is so great to watch just for the anmation itself. The plot and story were a bit weak and slow at times. However I did laugh and smile a lot. The animation and clever characters will keep you watching.

Music Review:Wilco-Being There



Wilco's double CD Being There is great. Wilco really isn't a mainstream band so for them to put out a double CD is great. I've heard them referred to as semi-country. I have always disagreed with that. While some songs from Being There are slowed down the majority of the CD is rock.

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.

LOST: The Complete Second Season


LOST Season 2 was great. The writing the superb. The discovery of the Hatch and all its mysteries will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Favorite Episode: What Kate Did-Amazing writing.

Favorite Backstory-Rose and Bernard-they wonderful minor characters.

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



This is a great Season of the Simpsons. The show that was just hitting its stride at this point and has never let up. Favorite episodes-Radio Bart and Lisa the Greek.

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.
