Off White Lies DVD Review

  This 2011 title from Israel may seem foreign (the Hebrew language used  may be part of it), but Off White Lies speaks to the feelings of loneliness and continual misplacement that are common in one’s teen years. Libby is forced to move to Israel with eir father, Shaul as the second Lebanon war begins. Thrown into a tumultuous life with Shaul (who is homeless at the onset of Off…

Audiko

One of the very first things that I used my cellular phone for was to find ringtones. It was always a difficult experience to find a program that would cut up an MP3 (I always used Goldwave) and to go through the track to find precisely the right beginning and ending spot. The process meant that I would normally be spending half an hour to an hour to make one…

Binary Options

binary options are tremendously difficult to understand and require someone with the ability to teach individuals. There is a website that provides this sort of information for free, and is able to properly capture the variances that exist in the market. The website is designed in such a way that those that are wishing to learn about binary options will find the information that they need immediately, rather than having…

Storage Wars Volume 4 DVD Review

The wildly successful Storage Wars starts to show some signs of stress with Volume 4: show regular Dave Hester (aka the asshole) was arguing about his contract so he is missing from most of this season as they try out various replacements (none of whom are as interesting as Hester). This season they also start to experiment with horribly obvious product placement (before I open this storage unit, let me…

  Foyle’s War is a mystery, set during the second World War, that focuses on creating an authentic experience for viewers while keeping them firmly riveted to their seats. Foyle’s War: The Home Front Files provides viewers with a few extra features; the making-of features provide additional context to the filming process while proving viewers with quick views into the camaraderie that was enjoyed on the set. The interviews conducted…

Undersea Edens DVD Review

  Undersea Edens is a look into one of the ill-explored parts of the Earth, providing viewers with what occurs at levels below that where most swim. Taking full advantage of spots off of Australia, New Zealand, and South Georgia Island, the Smithsonian Channel showcases the incredible biodiversity that is present in one biome. I feel that the Smithsonian Channel has provided additional worth in this release as it is…

Wreck-It Ralph Ultimate Collector’s Edition Review

  Wreck-It Ralph is a title that the widest possible swath of viewers could appreciate. This all-in aspect of the film and heart-warming tenor of the title makes this a must have for any family or fan of the movie. The fact that the inspiration for the film had been bouncing around the Disney vault for decades is absolutely astonishing, while the quality of the finished film is similarly so.…

Lay The Favorite DVD Review

  Lay The Favorite is a 2012 film adaptation of a true story (novelized); the film stars Bruce Willis, Vince Vaughan, Joshua Jackson, Rebecca Hall and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Director Stephen Frears (The Grifters, Dangerous Liasons) helms this fast-paced comedy cum drama. Lay The Favorite focuses on Dink (Willis) and Beth (Hall); Dink is able to pick up on the naiveté of Beth and involve eir in a scheme to rip…

Mayo Clinic Diet DVD Review

  The Mayo Clinic Diet has been associated with considerable weight loss, along with a greater percentage of those initially starting the program maintaining that weight loss. The instructions that are provided during this DVD are simplistic enough that even those individuals whom have never taken on a diet regiment before will be able to stick with what is presented here. I believe that where the Mayo Clinic Diet DVD…

Three Stars DVD Review

          Three Stars is a film that looks to clarify the Michelin ranking system by providing interviews with 10 of the chefs from these restaurants. The list of those that were interviewed during Three Stars is absolutely stellar, including Jean-Georges Vongerichten (Jean-Georges in New York), Nadia Santini (Italy’s Dal Pescatore), and  Sergio Herman (Oud Sluis, from the Netherlands). Rounding out the coverage is a feature with…

The Intouchables DVD Review

   This 2011 French-language film was a huge success in Europe, and I believe that the film’s plot will speak to American audiences in the same way. The duo – Francois Cluzet (Philippe) and Omar Sy (Driss) – has tremendous chemistry together. Driss is on unemployment and comes into Philippe’s life merely to get job search papers signed. By putting a wager of one week of service on the line,…

Company of Heroes DVD Review

Very few in the way of films that are based off a video game work; there just are considerable plot points that are either missing or are too difficult to properly capture (Halo, Mass Effect). Company of Heroes is a title that is based on a trope that is equally popular in video games and films, ensuring that the title is considerably better than those set in sci-fi or historical…

Bath Salt Zombies DVD Review

  Bath Salt Zombies is a classic zombie film that will perform admirably in party or film buff circles. The cast unites to make a tale that is classic and contemporary (the bath salt epidemic) fashions. The film is given additional replay value through the inclusion of an amazing soundtrack, featuring cuts from Antiseen, The Meatmen, The Murder Junkies, and The Dwarves. After a government ban on bath salts block…

Weeds The Final Season DVD Review

What a long strange trip it’s been over the past eight season for Nancy Botwin and clan. From a young suburban widow and mother of two selling weed in her upper middle class neighborhood to pay the bills, to the wife of a Mexican politician/drug lord and back to a widow selling weed, the protagonist of the dark comedy Weeds was numbingly stupid with her decisions, but it made for…

Thomas & Friends: Muddy Matters DVD Review

  This DVD has five episodes – Muddy Matters, Thomas and the Garbage Train, Don’t Bother Victor!, Whiff’s Wish, and Thomas Toots the Crows (Buzzy Bees is the bonus episode here). Each of the episodes will provide viewers with a moral while keeping them engaged. Muddy Matters has James transport sheep for a feature in the newspaper. The moral of this story is to always follow directions properly, as James…

Game of Thrones: The Complete Second Season DVD Review

Amazingly, the team behind HBO’s brilliant Game of Thrones managed to make the second season as thrilling as the first. The Stark family – the closest thing this series had to the Cleavers – is scattered across the territories with their patriarch now dead, and their frenemies the Lannisters are a little scattered as well, with war between kingdoms sending some off to fight. Meanwhile the creepy, little, evil boy King…

Girls: The Complete First Season Combo Set Review

  Girls perfectly blends comedy and drama in an always intense and compelling show. The first season of the show comprised 6 episodes, fictional retellings of Lena Dunham’s life in New York City. The cast clicks with Dunham perfectly, showcasing the ennui, brief victories, and overall unwieldiness of the second decade of life.  I feel that the show’s presence on HBO allows Girls to be less restrained than it would…

The stellar documentary that graced the DVD edition of Peter Pan has been re-issued, while there is a full 15 minutes of deleted scenes and songs pulled directly from the vault.
