Tyler Perry: The Plays / 2007 Lionsgate / http://www.tylerperry.com /  http://www.kionsgate.com / When I worked at Kmart a few years back, pretty much everyone was trying to pick up the “Diary of A Mad Black Woman†DVD. In the meantime, there have been a few new movies released in that vein. This means that there are a good seven movies in this specific story arc, and “Tyler Perry: The Plays 
Mariah Carey – The Adventures of Mimi / 2007 Stonewinner / 165 / http://www.mariahcarey.com / Mariah Carey has been around for so long it is not funny. At this point, the only female pop star that has been around for a longer period of time off the top of my head would have to be Madonna. “The Adventures of Mimi†was a 2006 tour that netted her the highest gross…
 Hellyeah – Below The Belt / 2007 Epic / 120 Minutes / http://www.hellyeahband.com / http://www.hellyeahrocks.com / It’s funny how many bands are out at any one given time in the metal scene, so unless you are a fan of the specific acts, there is a good chance that they could fly underneath your radar. One of these bands is Hellyeah, which features members of Pantera, Damageplan, Nothingface, and Mudvayne.…
Will and Grace – Season Seven / 2007 NBC / 515 Minutes / http://www.nbc.com / Will and Grace was one of those shows that I never truly got into. I felt that the characterization of Jack played too much on the typical gay male stereotype that is dominant in the United States. However, as the seasons rolled on, this characterization calmed down and the character was fleshed out considerably. By…

Hellraiser 20th Anniversary / 2007 Anchor Bay / 93 Minutes / http://www.anchorbayentertainment.com / Hellraiser is one of those lines of horror movies that seem to get the shaft when compared to either the Jason or Freddy movies. The plots are always interesting, the deaths always innovative, but yet the films typically reside at a level below that of the more established horror franchises. Luckily, Anchor Bay noticed that the movie…
The Evil Dead: Ultimate Edition / 2007 Anchor Bay / 85 Mins / http://www.anchorbayentertainment.com / The Evil Dead is a great movie on its own, and showcased the ability of a very young Sam Raimi. This year marks the 25th anniversary since the film was first released, and Anchor Bay Entertainment has created a commemorative 3-DVD set that provides individuals with everything they could conceivably ever want to know about…
A Very Special Christmas: The 20th Anniversary Music Video Collection / 2007 Special Olympics / 12 Tracks / http://www.specialolympics.org I admit, I was not really paying attention to when the first A Very Special Christmas came out in 1987 – I had just turned 4, and my attention was on a host of other things. Regardless, I can pay a little more attention to the tracks that are present on…

Nuremburg: The Nazis Facing Their Crimes / 2007 Lionsgate / 210 Minutes / For many individuals, World War II is an interesting subject. I personally prefer later US history, but still appreciate what got the United States to the later history. “Nuremburg: The Nazis Facing Their Crimes†provides a lot of that information, and provides it in a way that is much more in depth and focused than any History…
All My Loving / 2007 MVD / 52 Minutes / http://www.mvdb2b.com / The title for All My Loving corresponds to a Beatles song of the same name. That fact is obvious for those individuals that grew up with The Beatles, but for someone that never was a huge fan of them such as myself, the fact was new to me. This movie is not new in any sense of the…
I love independent film studios. They always provide a freshness to the genre in which they create films, and Red Scream Films LLC is no different. One of their new films is “Prison of the Psychotic Damnedâ€, and it follows the rich low-budget horror tradition that early Craven and Corman were instrumental in creating in years past. “Prison†deals with what happens to five individuals that stop by a train…
The Bangles – Return to Banglelonia / 2007 Shout Factory / 95 Minutes / The Bangles were very influential, with The Runaways, in creating a lot of the female punk music that took over during the nineties and today. This video captures a later version of The Bangles, being that of a live show from 2000 at the House of Blues in Hollywood. Every one of the band’s biggest hits…
Limelight Girls Vol. 8 / 2004 Limelight Productions / http://www.limelightgirls.com / Reviewed 12 December 2004 The latest in the Limelight Girls series, Volume 8 begins with Justina, an actress that gives off the sorority girl-with-a-sneer vibe that screams Britney-meets-Pink. Justina also breaks with tradition in the sense that she does not continually mug for the camera – sure, there are a few times in which she looks playfully into the…
Limelight Girls Vol. 7 / 2004 Limelight Productions / http://www.limelightgirls.com / Again cutting straight to the action, Kia begins masturbating on the bathtub, her dark skin contrasting well with the porcelain. There just seems to be a lack of emotion shown by Kia with this self-examination, something that disappears fairly quickly as she engages Chris’ genitals with both her mouth and breasts. Something that is nice during Kia’s chapter in…
Limelight Girls Vol. 6 / 2004 Limelight Productions / http://www.limelightgirls.com / Reviewed 12 December 2004 Beginning the DVD with a lack of plot that is beyond apparent (the movies starts off with Angelica Knight mounting the male actor, one can’t blame Limelight for cutting out all inessential pieces from their movie. A lack of music is painfully obvious during the first scene, as the noises created by Knight’s oral manipulation…
