Ben Stiller plays a vacuous model in Zoolander, his comedic take on male modeling and the fashion industry. Paramount has done an excellent job on this 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. Sporting very crisp colors, lots of detail, and deep, dark, black levels, this transfer of Zoolander is nothing short of impressive. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in English as well as Dolby 2.0 Surround in French and English. The 5.1 sound mix is very good with many instances of surround use in both the front and rear speakers. Zoolander features lots of bombastic music and effects, and the soundtrack takes advantage of these to the fullest extent. Also included on this disc are subtitles in English. This "special collector's edition" of Zoolander includes a ton of bonus materials that should please male models everywhere. Starting off the disc is a commentary track by star/producer/co-writer/director Ben Stiller and writers Drake Sather and John Hamburg. This is a funny commentary track the pokes fun at the film while simultaneously giving insight into the production and story. Five deleted scenes are included with optional commentary that is actually very funny, and five extended scenes show what was cut from the final print of the film. Some outtakes show the cast and crew flubbing up their lines or actions. An alternate title sequence is a different version of the end credits that is really rather pointless. Two skits from the VH1 Fashion Awards are included that give a rare peek at the birth of the Derek Zoolander character. Finally, there is a music video by the Wiseguys, some promotional spots and trailers, and a few photo galleries of some costumes, characters, and stills from the film. All in all, this is a very fine DVD edition of the wacky comedy Zoolander.

Very funny

I love watching Ben Stiller movies. They are so funny. I really laugh hard everytime I watch this movie. Owen Wilson and Will Ferell are so funny too. I love the part when they have the walkoff and when he goes home to his hometown to work with his family. Ben, he knows how to make people laugh and the models playing in the jeep at the gas station was too much. I thought he was awful for pointing out how dumb his model friends were, but that scene proved it. I love this, classic humor that will always be funny everytime it is watched.
What's great about it: stomach hurting humor
What's not so great: More celebrities should have mocked own personalities in cameo appearances in the movie.

Wackiness ensues in the super comedy Super Troopers. Fox's work on this 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer is excellent save for a small amount of edge enhancement in the image. Overall, the colors, fleshtones, and black levels are all very solid and clear. The soundtrack is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in English and French, as well as Dolby 2.0 Surround in Spanish. While the film doesn't utilize a vast array of directional effects (except in a few key scenes), the bulk of this 5.1 mix if free of any excessive hiss or distortion. Also included on this disc are English, French, and Spanish subtitles. The extra features on Super Troopers are bountiful, starting with two commentary tracks: the first by director/actor Jay Chandrasekhar and actor Erik Stolhanske and a second by actors Kevin Heffernan, Paul Soter, and Steve Lemme. Both commentaries are filled with many humorous stories, anecdotes, and thoughts about the film's production and history. A series of outtakes and deleted scenes are broken up unto four different sections and should please fans looking for more gags and jokes in the vein of the film. Finally, there is a very fluffy making-of featurette, a "Road Trip Newswrap" that follows the comedy troupe on the road, and theatrical trailers for the film.

I really like the guys from this movie, they are so funny. They were in Beerfest and Club Dread, and both were funny movies also. I think they were just bored and had nothing better to do when they really thought up this movie. They were making the rank of officers look so bad. I thought these guys were the worst troopers and cops ever. They were just like the Reno 911 cops and they really should have never been appointed to their ranks. Regardless, it was hilarious to see how non serious they were. It was also funny to see the hard working cops clowning them because they always made them selves look so bad. Definitely funny and worth getting a good laugh from.
What's great about it: Cast, movie plot
What's not so great: Some of the characters were really low, not decent at all. Did not like these parts of movie.

Super crazy, hilarious

I love comedies, and this was so funny throughout the entire movie. I thought it was going to be dumb before I first saw it, but then I do enjoy the Happy Madison crew because they were always funny in Adam Sandler's movies. The funniest character has to be Donte, he is a very messed up individual. The cougar who is played by the Partridge Family mom is hilarious. The "matrix" geek is so hilarious, he is a true loser and makes his self look so sad in throughout the movie. The movie has many funny characters and the stuff that happens is crazy. Overall, very funny and can constantly watch over and over again.
What's great about it: Funny cast, very funny lines, interesting story line
What's not so great: The deleted scenes weren't as funny, when usually they are funnier than what actually happened in the movie.

great suspense, action

I love movies like this, especially anything with the supernatural element and cute guys! Just kidding. Honestly, anything sci-fi, supernatural like appeals highly to me. The plot is awesome and teenage warlocks, reminds me of the male version of the Craft, but with lots of action, fight scene at the end was awesome. At times in the movie, some actors were not the best actors and probably only got their parts because they were cute and I wished they would have just cut them out of the scenes entirely. Other than those moments, movie definitely worth watching.
What's great about it: action, suspense
What's not so great: Corny lines, bad acting from actors/actresses

I love the It's Always Sunny series, I have every season on dvd and I watch them all the time. The christmas dvd was so funny and it helped show some insight on why each of the characters are equally disturbed as they are. Knowing the characters, the scenarios that occured help the viewers understand and just laugh even more. I think the funniest flashback was Charlie's christmas with his mom and all of his "uncles." Overall, worth watching over and over again.
What's great about it: Great to watch when in the mood for comedy
What's not so great: Great cast members missing like The Waitress, Cricket, etc. Would have been more hilarious to see them or the McPoyles

Great show

Great show, I love this show. Have been a fan since season one and each season just gets better. If you haven't watched it or there is nothing else on tv, take a day to watch these and you will be hooked. Micheal is a character that has it all, the looks, attitude, great fashion sense. He is the man. Fiona, I love her, she is pretty but tough and will literally mess you up. Sam is so hilarious, I have always liked characters like him, plus he is a great veteran actor as well. Micheal's mom is so funny. I can't see the show going on without her or any of them to be honest. Watch this dvd or show on USA, it is great and you won't be disappointed.
What's great about it: Action packed, a lot of swagger and humor.
What's not so great: want to learn more details about characters

This gritty release from the FX drama Sons of Anarchy includes all 13 episodes of the show's first season, following the story of a chapter of the Sons of Anarchy, an international outlaw motorcycle club akin to the Hell's Angels. The members all ride impressively customized Harleys, but the club is defined by more than just their bikes - they're also arms dealers, illegally importing guns, which they sell to the local street gangs.

one of best shows on tv

At first, you might judge the show and say something messed up like they are sleazy bikers or racist, sexist, bikers, but you have to watch the show to understand each character's diverse characteristics, as well as their morals and values. They do have consciences, so it's cool to see how they live their lives day to day like everyday people. It is really a great show to watch.
What's great about it: the characters are so interesting, very intense. I love Jax, he is so cool and so sexy.
What's not so great: that season two is not out on dvd yet.
