Reviews
Here are the latest 10 DVD reviews from our friends over at ComingSoon.net:
Baby Mama
Women will thoroughly enjoy "Baby Mama." And it's entertaining enough that most men will not want to stab their eyes out if they're forced to watch it. Fans of Tina Fey will definitely want to add this one to their collections.
The Love Guru
I'd only recommend "The Love Guru" to die-hard fans of Mike Meyers. They'll probably be the ones most forgiving of this new speed bump in his filmography. Everyone else should probably just rent "Austin Powers" or "Wayne's World" instead.
The Office: Season Four
I'm a big fan of "The Office." It's one of the few shows I watch religiously. I hated the fact that the season was cut short by the writer's strike, but episodes that did air were pretty good. Pam and Jim managed to get together and the show didn't suffer the curse of 'jumping the shark' when the romantic tension was lifted. (Plus Jim got out of his previous relationship rather gracefully, though at the price of his dignity in the Branch Wars episode.) Ryan spiraled into career implosion. Jan went crazier and crazier culminating in the hilarious Dinner Party episode. We got a peek at the Schrute bed and breakfast while the Dwangela relationship broke up. A lot happened though the season was cut short.
Transformers (Two-Disc Special Edition, Blu-ray Disc)
If you're a fan of Michael Bay, Shia LaBeouf, "Transformers," or just big effects films, then this movie is required viewing for you.
Heroes: Season 2
Like many successful TV series, "Heroes" suffered from a sophomore slump. Things started out well enough. Hiro was stranded in the past and met his idol, Takezo Kensei. Peter, believed to be dead at the end of Season 1, mysteriously awakes with amnesia. Mohinder infiltrated 'The Company'. It was a good setup.
The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning
Having grown up with two younger sisters and now having a daughter, I'm pretty well versed in "The Little Mermaid." You name it, I've seen it. So I was curious to see what "Ariel's Beginning" would have to offer. There was no question that little girls would like it, but was there anything entertaining here for the adults forced to sit through it? The answer is yes sort of.
Son of Rambow
If you're looking for a cute movie about love of film, friendship, or the '80s, then this is a DVD you'll enjoy. Just heed the PG-13 warning before you set kids in front of it.
What Happens in Vegas
If you don't have a strong tolerance for Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz, watching this movie will be a losing battle from the get-go, but even moreso, if like me you've seen every single "meet cute" romantic comedy made in the last five years, there's nothing new here that makes the movie worthwhile. At its best, "What Happens in Vegas" is like "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" without the action or "The Break-Up" with less depth--if that's even possible--though thankfully, it never quite hits the emasculating lows of a "Failure to Launch."
The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior
I'd only recommend this movie to fans of fantasy films and the absolute, most die-hard "Scorpion King" fans. Most audiences won't be impressed with this.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - The Complete First Season
I'd recommend "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" to "Terminator" fans (obviously) and fans of Glau or Headey. These are the people most likely to stick with the series and forgive it for its flaws. You'll also want to check this out before the second season kicks off.
