Cranford
Francesca Annis, Eileen Atkins
BBC Warner, 2008
Those Amazing Brits!
I found this series to be powerfully dramatized. Like many series the first episode is not as strong as the following four episodes as the actors discover their characters and the writers unveil their intertwined plots. But Cranford ends with a moving conclusion that ...

National Treasure 2 - Book of Secrets (Widescreen)
Nicolas Cage, Diane Krueger
Buena Vista Home Entertainment / Touchstone, 2008
Great blu-ray combo / Great family fun
I was so excited to get this combo and getting it on blu-ray was fantastic. It really seems to make the movies come alive. I bought the second movie without having seen it previously, and I am so thankful I did. The price was also great (I purchased as a pre-order). ...

Monk - Season Six
Tony Shalhoub, Ted Levine
Universal Studios, 2008
Classic Monk
Season Six went back to the formula that made the show one of the highest rated cable shows ever. Adrian's character went through a few new wrinkles (as it did every season) but the show was classic Monk. It works because the show offers a crime, puts Monk in ...

24 - Season Six
Kiefer Sutherland, Mary Lynn Rajskub
Fox Network, 2007
suspenseful escapism
Based on many of the reviews and a gradual disaffection for the previous 3 seasons (particularly 5), I waited a long time before finally giving in to curiosity and buying this season. Imagine my surprise then when I found season 6 to be as entertaining, gripping and ...

Heroes: Season 2
Jack Coleman, Sendhil Ramamurthy
National Broadcasting Company (NBC), 2008
Not the total waste that some fans call it
Heroes season 2 I think was pretty good considering that they cut it down due to that uselesss writer's strike. I mean the strike was useless, not the writers themselves. It left us with nothing but crappy reality shows through-out most of the year. Heroes season 2 ...

Veronica Mars - The Complete Third Season
Kristen Bell, Jason Dohring
Warner Home Video, 2007
OK, I admit, I was hooked on Veronica Mars the first time round
Seasons 1 and 2 both have an underlying thread throughout the entire season, where as season 3 had two or three such threads. When I first saw this season on TV, I remember thinking this was the one thing that let it down.
However, rewatching it on DVD, I just ...

No Country for Old Men
Javier Bardem, Rodger Boyce
Miramax, 2008
Quick ship - Perfect Condition
The dvd shipped in less than a week and played perfectly. Great flick. Tommy Lee Jones is almost unrecognizable! What a different role for him. Not really the tough guy, but still the "tough guy," if you know what I mean. Loved it.

Lost: The Complete Fourth Season
Lost
Buena Vista Home Entertainment, 2008
A few more bricks in the wall...
Season 4 of LOST finally begins giving us some solid answers to questions that were plaguing us. We also begin seeing "the future" vs. the past for the characters. This season really renewed by love for LOST, which after season 3 I was beginning to wonder where this ...

Branagh's Hamlet
Our family has been reading and really, studying Shakespeare over the last few years. We have read Hamlet several times and seen several versions of Hamlet. Kenneth Branagh's is absolutely marvelous. The filming is wonderful and sumptuous. The sets and places they ...

A Freak Occurrence
If somebody pointed a gun at me and said,"You gotta have an opinion -about what the best movie of the 90s is" I'd tell them to point that gun away from my head before it accidently goes off. And then for lack of a better answer to this impossible question, I would ...
