One of the funniest films of all time, Blazing Saddles, is awarded an excellent 30th anniversary DVD release by Warner Bros., a company that has often shown great care to the important titles in its vault. The film itself is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio. The English soundtrack has been remastered in Dolby Digital 5.1, which makes it seem like one is hearing the infamous farting scene for the very first time. There is a healthy amount of quality extra materials, including a commentary by director Mel Brooks. Although it seems as if he was simply recorded while talking about the film (he never once refers to what is happening onscreen, and the commentary ends only an hour into the film), he recollections are amusing and enlightening. He discusses in detail how the various behind-the-scenes people as well as the cast came together. The other five-star nugget included on this disc is the pilot for the television spin-off Black Bart. Starring Louis Gossett Jr., the show is as amazingly unfunny as the movie is uproarious, but one may be struck by the crudity of the comedy that would have been telecast in the mid-'70s. A making-of documentary and a section from a special on the late great Madeline Kahn help make this DVD a must-own for comedy enthusiasts.
This movie was actually what you expect, kind of predictable but still funny. Kevin James really keeps character in some crazy scenes and can make you laugh.
This epic release from the landmark fantasy series Game of Thrones includes all 10 episodes of the show's third season, following the ongoing story of the powerful families of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, a land in which the cut-throat political web through which seemingly everyone vies for control includes torture, seduction, and many secrets.
We've waited over a year for this season and it was well worth the wait. Every episode has action in it unlike other tv series. HBO is excellent and continues to be excellent.
The second season of Girls continues to follow twenty-something Hannah Horvath (Lena Dunham) as she tries to establish herself as a writer in New York City, and navigates the arguably even more complicated reality of maintaining relationships with her friends Marnie (Allison Williams), Jessa (Jemima Kirke), and Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet). Hannah's ex-boyfriend Adam (Adam Driver) continues to flit awkwardly in and out of her life, and her friends struggle alongside her to come to terms with their identities as independent young adults.
This show keeps getting better and better. I was pretty skeptic buying the first season on black friday but once I finished the first season I wanted the second as quick as possible. It is very humorous and I can so relate to it. I cannot wait until the next season.
