Veronica Mars - The Complete First Three Seasons

Kristen Bell

Warner Home Video, 2007

One hell of a series
One of my all time favorites. Veronica Mars is surely one of the best female characters ever created: great attitude, quick witted, smart, plain beatiful. One couldn't wish for more. Intriguing plot (which doesn't revolve around some adolescent love affairs in case ...

The Starter Wife

Debra Messing, Starter Wife

Universal Studios, 2007

A must-buy for Debra Messing fans!
Too cute to pass up! Very entertaining with enough plot substance to merit re-watching. Great collateral story lines with a wonderful supporting cast. Plus, this series is real eye candy for those who enjoy Debra Messing's elegant wardrobes.

Sunset Boulevard (Special Collector's Edition)

William Holden, Gloria Swanson

Paramount, 2002

WHEN I WAS A CHILD I USE TO LAUGH AT THE ANTICS OF HARVEY CARMEN AND CAROL BURNETTS VERSION OF GLORIA AND HOLDENS MOVIE NOT KNOWING IT WAS AN ACTUAL MOVIE,WHEN I LEARNED BY MY AUNT WHO ALWAYS WATCHED THE OLD MOVIE CHANNEL THAT IT WAS A REAL MOVIE I HAD TO WATCH,MAN IT ...

Almost Famous

Fairuza Balk, Philip Seymour Hoffman

Dreamworks Video, 2001

Top Ten Favorites
" Almost Famous" is at the top of my 'Top Ten Favorites' list. Patrick Fugit is so amazingly talented, and it just blew me away that it was his first movie. No other actor could've played the part of William Miller better than him. My favorite parts of the movie are ...

Shelter

Brad Rowe, Tina Holmes

Genius Products (TVN), 2008

why is this not in wide release
discovering yourself, coming out, a sweet love story and the variability of "family" -- truly well acted, a first rate production that could find a wider audience.

Legally Blonde (Special Edition)

Reese Witherspoon, Luke Wilson

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Sweertheart of a film!
Legally Blonde is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's not groundbreaking, it has no pretensions of greatness -- but it's absolutely tops for wonderful laughs and a cute chick-lit kind of story. Legally Blonde is more endearing every time I watch it.

Chinatown (Special Collector's Edition)

Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway

Paramount Home Video, 2007

A crime noir has never looked this good...
Finally; a crime noir that works. After watching quite a few lackluster film noirs I decided to revisit `Chinatown' to see if it still held up as the greatest film noir of all time and, quite honestly, it does. Polanski gets everything right with this one, creating a ...

Californication - Season One

David Duchovny, Californication

PARAMOUNT PICTURES, 2008

One you watch the first 3 minutes... you're hooked!
I can't believe anyone would give this show anything lower than 4 stars. DD has some of the best one liners ever written and his character is one of the most refreshing on TV. Women want him and men want to be him. Please watch this show!!!

The Grapes of Wrath

Henry Fonda, Jane Darwell

20th Century Fox, 2004

Hard Times
My father was born in Oklahoma in 1923 . His family left Oklahoma during the dust bowl for Arizona . This was his favorite movie as it reminded him of his childhood . I've watched this movie several times with my dad and its an all time classic of Henry Fonda's .

The O.C. - The Complete Third Season

Mischa Barton, Adam Brody

Fox Network, 2006

The O.C. - The Complete Third Season
I enjoyed the third season of the O.C. It did go quite a bit heavier that the previous seasons, but most shows do. Although a lot of this show does not deal in what I would call reality, it does deal well with some real-life situations realistically. Kirsten's ...

Columbo - The Complete First Season

Peter Falk, Jack Cassidy

National Broadcasting Company (NBC), 2004

Still Finding The Right Formula
When most people remember this television show, I would bet that the first image that comes to mind is of a disheveled, seemingly lost detective who tricks villains into taking him lightly, then nabs them in the end in fantastic fashion. For the most part, that is ...

The California Kid

Nick Nolte, Michelle Phillips

Timeless Media Group, 2007

JUST GREAT
I had this movie on an original VCR tape. This DVD is so much better.

L.A. Confidential

Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe

Warner Home Video, 1998

"I admire you as a policeman - particularly your adherence to violence as a necessary adjunct to the job. "
Film noir continues to be one of the most difficult genres to make well particularly today (I'd note for purists that film noirs are largely in black & white a fixture of the genre). Film directors can't hide the flaws of a noir behind big explosions, car chases or ...

Thicker Than Water

Melissa Gilbert, Lindsay Wagner

Platinum Disc, 2006

Tom's Review
I enjoyed this movie very much. I enjoy movies with horses in them. I'm not a cowboy myself, but I enjoy the horseback riding and cattle round-up type of movies. I have shown this movie to my elderly father and his friends and they all enjoyed it. It's nice to see good ...

The Last Boy Scout

Bruce Willis, Damon Wayans

Warner Home Video, 1998

The Last Boy Scout
Action packed with mature humor mixed in. One of Bruce Willis's best films.
