DVD Review: Private Practice – The Complete First Season (Expanded Edition)
Given the massive success of Grey’s Anatomy, it came as no surprise that someone from that series would be chosen to star in their own spinoff. Created by Shonda Rhimes, the series chronicles the life of Dr, Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh) after she decides to leave Seattle Grace Hospital and head to Los Angeles to […]
DVD Review: Grey’s Anatomy – Season Four (Expanded)
Season four of Grey’s Anatomy saw a few changes both on and off the screen as season four of the series got underway in the follow of 2007. Due to her producing responsibilities on both Grey’s and its spinoff Private Practice, series creator Shonda Rhimes assigned the day-to-day showrunning duties to writer and executive producer […]
DVD Review: Smallville – The Complete Seventh Season
As a huge Superman fan it hurts me to say this, but after watching the entire seventh season of Smallville over a two-and-a-half-day period, the series may have officially jumped the shark. I’ve been a fan of the series from the start, even though Tom Welling and some of his co-stars will likely never be […]
DVD Review: The Big Bang Theory – The Complete First Season
Strangely, I never got a chance to watch The Big Bang Theory even once, during its first season on CBS. However, I was excited to watch the first season on DVD for several reasons: I’m a big fan of Johnny Galecki and anything with him in it has a chance for success, the premise of […]
DVD Review: CSI: Miami – The Sixth Season
CSI: Miami has always been my CSI of choice. Whether it’s the sunny Miami locale, or watching Lieutenant Horatio Cane (David Caruso), go off the rails a bit more than some of the criminals he’s charged with having to catch week after week, I’ve been hooked on the series for years. I’ve read many complaints […]
DVD Review: One Tree Hill – The Complete Fifth Season
For popular series based on a group of high school kids, things usually go downhill once graduation day approaches. The example I’ll use is the popular ’90’s sitcom Beverly Hills, 90210. Producers dealt with that group’s graduation by having them all attend the fictional California University. While that plot device did work, fans were forced […]
Blu-ray Review: Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles [Season One]
Remakes of beloved classic films are often disasters. Undoubtedly the creative forces behind these endeavors start out with the best of intentions. The problem is that when you try to reformat something that so many fans already consider a masterpiece, you’re behind the eight ball before you even shoot the first frame. When I first […]
DVD Review: Transformers Animated – Season One
Transformers Animated – Season One is the latest in a long line of animated Transformers cartoon, following the disappointment that was Transformers Cybertron. Taking its cues from the Michael Bay movie (The AllSpark, Megatron crash-landed on Earth, big explosions, lots of noise) Transformers Animated has changed pretty much everything about the mythology of the series […]
Blu-ray Review: Justice League – Season One
I’m not going to beat around the bush; Justice League – Season One is a must have for any true superhero fan. Producer Bruce Timm followed Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, and Batman Beyond with Justice League. Previously, DC characters had made appearances on different series– Batman met The Creeper, Superman joined […]
DVD Review: Manswers – The Best of Season One
Brought to you by Spike TV, Manswers may be one of the most ridiculous variety shows put on the air. This male-directed variety series is set up like a news magazine show, designed to answer some of the most potentially offensive questions ever posed. Apparently, the series target audience is drunken frat boys looking for […]
