Shabooh Shoobah was one of INXS earlier CDs and really is a great example of amazing 80's music. The vocals are wonderful as is the instrumentation. The song To Look At You is a perfect example of the great music of INXS and the rest of the songs on the CD have that same great style.
Pacifier is film that entire families can enjoy. Vin Diesel shows a different side of himself in this movie which is nice to see. The interaction between himself and the kids is fun to watch. The story line moves along well and keeps both kids and adults entertained. If you are looking for a family friendly movie The Pacifier is a great movie to add to your collection.

A Movie Worth Watching

Sweet November is a movie that shows that there are still people in the world that will do things for others without ulterior motives. Charleze's character spends her time helping a different man each month to work through troubles in their lives. Keanu's character was the first one that she wanted to stay for more than a month. The relationship the two share is a touching one that is worth watching.
It's great to have a police series with a strong female lead. Kyra Sedgwick does an amazing job portraying a strong police interogator that show that you shouldn't assume a southern woman can't be strong and intelligent. The rest of the cast rounds out a great cable televisions series.
The complete first season of the CBS crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation comes to DVD from Paramount. This six-disc boxed set contains all 23 episodes from the 2000-2001 season. Each episode is presented with a standard full-frame transfer, which doesn't preserve the original HDTV widescreen aspect ratio. Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo soundtracks are available in English and Spanish. Special features include a music video for "Who Are You," character profiles described by cast members, and the 20-minute behind-the-scenes featurette "People Lie...But the Evidence Doesn't." This is a comprehensive DVD collection for fans of the show.

The First Great Forensics Show

CSI was the first and best of the Crime Scene Investigation shows. The first season introduced us to Grissom, Katherine, Sarah, Warick and Nick, plus other great characters. The different storylines were interesting and unusual. Season one is a great start to a intriquing and well acted series.
I have enjoyed most of Jennifer Garner's television shows and movies but Catch & Release wasn't her best. The pace of the movie was a little slow and there was nothing about the movie that really stood out and made it really enjoyable. The characters were ok but nothing about them really made this movie great. Catch & Release is one of those movies you might watch once but isn't really worth adding to your movie collection.
The ever-growing fan base for WB's teen-Superman saga can relive the best moments of their show's first season with this handsomely presented box set. Comprising all 21 episodes, Smallville: The Complete First Season offers a crisp transfer of every segment, each presented as it was originally aired, in letterboxed format with Dolby stereo sound. Beyond that, commentary and deleted scenes are provided for two episodes: the pilot, which has comments from director David Nutter as well as the show's executive producers, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar; and "Metamorphosis," which is analyzed by Nutter and Gough. Rounding out the disc are a complement of promotional ads, an "interactive" look at the town of Smallville, a DVD-ROM link for online bonus access, and a storyboard-to-screen analysis of the pilot episode.

Fresh New Look At Superman
on July 6, 2008

Smallville is a great new look at Clark Kent and how he grew into the young man that will become Superman. It is wonderful to see Clark as a teenager who struggles to figure out who he truly is, all while dealing challenges that teenagers face. The episodes also do a great job of showing us how Clark's upbringing by Martha and Jonathan Kent (Annette O'Toole and John Schneider) made him into a man who had a strong need to help people in trouble, one of the main strengths of the Man of Steel. If you like Superman, this is a great new look at Clark Kent before he developed the alter-ego Superman.
This movie is about a young boy who feels he can find his parents through the music that is in his heart. The actors (especially Freddie Highmore and Robin Williams) made the roles rich and the movie that much more enjoyable. The blu-ray format helped to make the film even more enjoyable with its richer video. If you like films that show the strength of the human spirit you'll truly enjoy August Rush.
This is a great CD by Rick Springfield. It has some great classic songs such as Kristina & Don't Talk To Strangers. It you like 80's music this CD must be part of your CD collection.
What's great about it: Great mix of songs at a great price
Terminator is a movie full of suspense and action. The story of a machine that comes back from the future to kill a young woman before she can give birth to the man that leads the resistance against the machines that are trying to completely wipe out the human race. The chase is on, a machine is trying to kill Sarah Conner, while a man that came back from the future too is trying to save her. If you like great action and original story concepts Teminator is a great film.
