After reading the previous reviews I didn’t feel desperate to watch this terrific movie. Buy this movie! I am 32 years old and I don’t have kids. But, I laughed-out-loud all through this movie. Jimmy’s best friend (the guinea pig for all of Jimmy’s dangerous experiments) deserves an Oscar for best supporting actor in a comedy! Now that’s a friend! If you can’t tell already - Jimmy is really smart and creates cool gadgets. Oh and Jimmy has built his very own gadget workshop (accessed via a secret elevator entrance in the back yard) under his house. At no time did this movie seem slow. You (or maybe your kids) will barely have time to recover from one laugh to the next or between exciting action scenes. There is a very cool and super-loyal robot dog too! This movie can help ANYONE forget their problems and escape into Jimmy’s world!(that is saying a lot!) I am crossing my fingers for many sequels. If the creative geniuses who made this movie are perhaps reading - Job Well Done!

“Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius” (2001)

It is rare that an animated children’s film comes along and reminds us exactly how much fun it was to be a kid. Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius is one of those movies that makes you want to go back to those days and play with your gadgets and have fun. Instead of doing that you could just watch this splendid film. It’s about as suitable for kids as it is for adults, and I’m sure even though the movie is unrealistic, everyone will view Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius as it was meant to be viewed - a fun-filled, imaginative and faithful adaptation to the TV show I have not yet seen.

The movie’s plot is fairly simple - some kids’ parents are kidnapped by aliens so its up to the children to save the day - but the wizardry is not in the plot. The real fantastical thing about the movie is the fact that Jimmy Neutron is a boy-genius and this offers for some terrific belly laughs. The fact that this young child can invent things that children and even some adults can only dream about is brilliant and it brings the movie vividly to life. Jimmy can invent edible bubble-gum which blows up to be a type of transport, burp soda, a mechanical dog named Goddard, a plant which is robotically engineered to eat girls, and many other things. Neutron’s inventions are what save the day in the end and they are memorably creative and you’ll wish you had some of the things that Jimmy could invent.

The film’s humour is absolutely stunning. You’ve got the chance to see a giant octopus and rollercoaster ride in space, see Channel 7 news run by children and the characters themselves bring many smiles and laughs to the movie. Jimmy Neutron is a funny man himself, very scientific and uses a lot of big words and metaphorical slangs (funny since he is so young), but it isn’t him that steals the show. For me, the sidekicks really steal the show which is so often the case in many comedies. Carl is Jimmy’s best friend, a glasses-wearing, chubby and thick guy, and he has the coolest voice and I just thought his lines and character in general were very cute. For the kids Sheen will be terrific. His obsession with a cartoon character Ultra Lord offers many belly laughs. And then of course there’s Goddard, Neutron’s mechanical dog, who has many gadgets and insertions, and he ultimately takes the cake and is the most inventive (and that’s out of a lot) thing in the film.

Sure, the movie does have a couple of problems. There are still some questions you’ll want answered like I wondered if the parents were only abducted from Jimmy’s home town or from all over the world. And how could the children just “breathe” in space? But of course you’ve got to remember this movie is mostly intended to be seen by children so those 2 are excusable in some senses. What disappointed me slightly is that the movie is really quite predictable overall. The gadgets and ideas in the movie are indescriably entertaining and you don’t expect them, but the plot doesn’t have any major twists and turns and you just know how the movie is going to end. I also wanted to see more of Jimmy’s class teacher, who is the funniest character in the entire film and has yet 2 scenes.

However, what remains of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius is a terrific animated movie with great memorable quotes and some amazing ideas. It is worth seeing in the theatres for its creative genius and great photography. Highly recommended!

I read somewhere that the overwelmingly red look of American Beauty is a symbol for blood and roses. Represented in the film by the flower petals in Lester Burnham’s fantasies, and the blood spilt when the sadness that hovers beneath bears its face. The title of American Beauty does not refer to the pretty surfaces that hide the anguish of these people, but the beauty of their souls when dealing with that anguish. Many reviewers have considered the title to be ironic, it isn’t. I’ve heard Kevin Spacey say that this film is about context, because taken out of context the behaviour of these characters seem bizzare and even phsycotic, but out with in the context of their messy lives or indeed anybody’s life, it seems natural. If I tell you that Kevin Spacey plays a character who is obsessed with the idea of sleeping with his daughter’s best friend, a daughter who constantly anounces her hatred of her parents, a woman so obsessed with appearances that happiness is but a memory to her, a loner who makes his living as a drug dealer with a firm rigid father living in denial about his son and himself, you would guess that there would be no one to like in this film. You would be wrong. This film is magical in the way it lets identify with these characters, care for them and worry about their outcome. Infact the ideas of American Beauty are nothing new. The persuit of happiness through the abanodoning of materialistic possesions and the satisfaction of primal, animal and natural desires was the exact same premise for Fight Club. This could be a middle aged version of that film. The family turmoil closely resembles Ang Lee’s The Ice Storm 1998, and like that film, American Beauty ends in tragedy. But as with all masterpieces its not the “point” that counts, but how you get there. Just like the fact that anything new you learn in life is the history you don’t know, most originality in movies is the movies you haven’t seen and the novel’s you haven’t read. The fact that the film remains a masterpiece is a credit to the execution of those ideas, not their originality. Our hero is Lester Burnham a man who goes quits his job, black mails his boss, and goes wild for a year. His journey of self-discovery is not what your average citizen would call moral, yet we still sympathise. My favourite scene in the film is where Lester meets Ricky(Wes Bently) outside a part. Ricky sells marijuana for a living and makes a lot of money. Lester tells him that when he was his age he “flipped burgers all summer long” for very little money. “That sucks” says Ricky, “No actually it was wonderful.” The heart of the film is this scene, Lester’s yearning for those years where his whole life was ahead of him, when he believed he coul do anything, when he wasn’t such a “loser”. This purity is the Beauty to which the title refers. Ricky Fitts is the boy next door, a loner who likes to film people. His father is a rigid military man. Both Wes Bently and Chris Cooper who play father and son respectively give monumental performance equal to Kevin Spacey’s oscar winner. Their family is a contrast to Lester’s, and in its tragedy, emotional complexity and heart break exceeds it. Ricky’s catatonic mother is perhaps what Lester would have become had he not taken charge of his life. I have tried to define this film, but its not a film that can be defined. It is one to be experienced. If I tell that the sight of a paper bag blowing in the wind will amaze you, you find it very silly indeed. Acredit then to this film that when Ricky show us a video of a paper bag blowing in the wind, it is indeed a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

“American Beauty” is a pure cinematic triumph that is both funny and sad. It’s disturbing… and yet, it’s extremely provocative and deep. The film is an extraordinary achievement that reveals a tragic and realistic story about a family that is anything but ordinary. It’s a film with so many layers that it is almost impossible to dissect them all in one single thought.

Meet Lester Burnham; a man who feels like he’s completely dead inside. His wife and daughter despise him and do not show him any signs of respect. On the surface, the family seems like a picture-perfect family that everybody dreams about–but inside is a completely different matter. His wife is obsessed with material possessions and doesn’t care for “petty” things like love or life, while his daughter resents herself because she isn’t “perfect.” Lester’s mental coma is rudely interrupted when he meets his daughter’s friend and starts fantasizing about her. The awakening might be due to a disturbing thought or feeling, but the wake-up call changes Lester and allows him to realize that there’s always time to erase his “forced-image” and be the person he really is. This is all a set-up for a funny, disturbing and tragic movie.

I don’t know about everybody else, but my mind was literally racing around when this movie was playing before my eyes. It’s one of those films that allows you to pick up on something different upon each viewing. As I said in the beginning of the review, this film has a number of layers to it. There’s so many different meanings and points to the film that it is nearly impossible to describe them all in one little review. Besides, the fun part of the movie is discovering these meanings and points for yourself. You know a film is successful when you totally lose yourself to it and allow it to challenge you in every way. The film is crafted flawlessly and doesn’t have a wasted minute in it.

The acting from Kevin Spacey is really a sight to see. He gives his character all of the right needs and feelings that is necessary for the authenticity of his role. You don’t even look at him as an actor–but as the real person he portrays. It is certainly a milestone in his acting career that will continue to be remembered throughout all cinematic history. Annette Bening is also superb in her role and brings life to her character, as well. Everybody in the film should be applauded, as they all make the film what it is.

The DVD has some neat features to offer. The picture quality is fantastic and the sound is more than great. You have the option of watching the movie in DTS if your system is able to play it. Extras included are commentary from the director and writer, a behind-the-scenes featurette, cast and crew biographies, trailers and more. While I wouldn’t had mind a Two-Disc edition of the movie, this is a pretty impressive package overall.

“American Beauty” is a breath-taking masterpiece with a very high replay value. It’s a terrific film on every front and does not disappoint for a single second. While it’s not a movie that everybody will like, it’s most certainly one to check out if you are a lover of films. If you’re looking for something that isn’t so ordinary, then this may be the chance that you are seeking. I feel that it is a unique and superb film that is very hard to express in words–you’ll just have to experience it for yourself. -Michael Crane

Previous reviewers panned this book but I actually enjoyed it. There were tidbits like Heath’s favorite wine that I found interesting. Now, as to its accuracy, who knows whether the info is true or not. I choose to believe it as it is the closest I will ever get to knowing what Heath was like. I would love to read an authorized biography of his life but I doubt that will ever happen as everyone close to him is respecting his wish for privacy. It is wrong of me to want to invade that privacy but I can’t seem to help myself when it comes to this amazing actor.

This is one of the best tributes on DVD honoring the life of Heath Ledger. Anyone that loved Heath will truly want to have this tribute in your collection of Heath and his life. A wonderful memory of the great and talented young man.

The documentary Marilyn the Final Days is about her failed film “Something’s Got To Give” and has an edit of all the complete scenes in the film put together.

Marilyn Monroe Special Anniversary Collection, celebrates Marilyn Monroe turning 80 years old, this collection includes some of the films Marilyn was most famous for. Unlike “The Diamond Collection” this one includes the original artwork which is way more colorful, however this collection does include the exacted same thing that was in “The Diamond Collection”. I can understand if you buy this one too, but don’t except anything new, I bought this one because “The Diamond Collection” I had went underwater when the levies broke back in Louisiana, plus now that it is out of print, it is really high in price. This set also includes “Marilyn Monroe: The Final Days” which is a documentary on Mariyln & her last film which was never completed. After the documentary or you can skip it they still include the incomplete film which they remastered & edited into a short, if Marilyn never died I’m sure the film would have been really cute, plus she plays a mother on screen & just by telling you know she loved children. Overall this boxset is an A+, but it reminds me of something that never was, who never really had a chance of being a person maybe a movie star, but never a person in general, someone who was taken way before their time.

The Women Movie Streaming. Movie Title: The Women Average customer review: The Women is available for streaming or downloading. Click Here to Stream or Download The Women

“The Women” is the film “Sex and the City” wishes it was. There are some distinct similarities: both are about a group of female friends living in New York; both feature quirky main characters; both tackle relationship and fidelity issues; both look at life through a very witty filter (mostly to a fault). But “The Women” is the superior film, and that’s only partly because of its much more tolerable sense of humor; the characters in this film are examined maturely, allowing us to see them as more than shallow, artificial caricatures. I actually felt something for these women. I cared about them and wondered what would happen to them. While not faithful to either George Cukor’s 1939 film or the original play by Clare Boothe Luce, this new film is a delight from beginning to end, and it plays true to its title by not featuring a single male character.

The plot mainly focuses on fashion designer Mary Haines (Meg Ryan), who, in addition to being fired by her own father, discovers that her well-known husband, Stephen, is having an affair with Crystal Allen (Eva Mendes), a perfume saleswoman from Saks Fifth Avenue. Standing by Mary is her best friend, magazine editor Sylvia Fowler (Annette Benning), who had already heard about the affair through a gossipy manicurist (Debi Mazar). Sylvia, as it turns out, is having problems of her own; her magazine isn’t selling as well as it used to, meaning she’s inches away from being fired. Desperate to keep her career alive, she sells Mary’s high-profile story to a tabloid writer (a cameo by Carrie Fisher), which, as you might expect, threatens to destroy their friendship. She’s no longer sure she can trust anyone, and this includes her other two friends, writer Alex Fisher (Jada Pinkett Smith), and the ever-pregnant Edie Cohen (Debra Messing).

Would this story be better or worse if male characters were included? Chances are it would be worse, simply because male/female relationship stories are a dime a dozen. What makes “The Women” unique is that it forces the main character to analyze her situation from an entirely feminine perspective. A man–be it her husband, a friend, a brother, or even a stranger–is not there to influence her one way or another. Think about all the recent romantic comedies in which the male leads inevitably profess their undying love for the female co-stars: every scene like that is always so contrived, so out of touch with anything realistic or even plausible. No such scene exists in “The Women.” Through the support of her friends, the wisdom of her mother (Candice Bergen), the loyalty of her housekeeper (Cloris Leachman), and an awful lot of soul searching, Mary has to determine on her own whether or not she wants to take her husband back. The question is: Does he want to be taken back? Is he still in love with her, or has he moved on?

An interesting subplot focuses on the relationship between Mary and her eleven-year-old daughter, Molly (India Ennenga), who often feels unheard and misunderstood. She doesn’t appreciate her mother’s meaningless assertions that everything will be all right. Clearly, it won’t be. She misses the love her parents shared, a love that always put an extra bounce in her mother’s step. And like many young girls growing up in Western society, she believes she fat (even though she’s anything but). Mary, consumed with her own problems, fails to notice the warning signs her daughter is giving off. So imagine her surprise when she learns that Molly is turning to Sylvia for advice–Sylvia, a childless woman who threw her best friend to the wolves. The confrontation between her and Mary is an interesting scene, not only because it’s heartfelt and humorous at the same time, but also because of the way it’s constructed; they defend themselves at the start, but by the end, one knows exactly where the other is coming from. If only all disagreements could end that way.

On a women’s retreat, Mary meets an agent named Leah Miller (another cameo by Better Midler). As they share a joint in their cabin, Leah reveals her secret to living life: Be selfish. Don’t care about what others want. The sooner you ask, “What do I want?” the sooner you’ll be content. I can’t say whether or not Mary takes this idea to heart, given how she really feels about her husband. What I can say is that the women of “Sex and the City” followed it to a tee. Rarely have I seen characters so shallow, so annoying, so lacking in redeeming qualities.

Thank goodness “The Women” goes in a much different direction. The pleasure of watching this movie comes from knowing that writer/director Diane English added depth to the characters. Granted, some were given more attention than others; Jada Pinkett Smith and Debra Messing weren’t given much screen time, which is disappointing considering the narrative potential of their characters. This is especially true of Messing’s character, the eccentric Edie, who announces early on that she’ll keep getting pregnant until she has a boy (she already has three daughters). Wouldn’t it be fun if she were the best friend instead of Sylvia? Or what about Smith’s character, Alex, made openly gay for this modernized version? Both characters come dangerously close to being extraneous. Maybe it would have been better if the story focused on two friends instead of four. Be that as it may, “The Women” is a charming, well-acted, well-plotted film–about the most fun you’ll have in a male-free environment.

i thought meg ryan was the best in the movie and i dont even think she is a good actress. were they supposed to be over acting so much? the huffs and ridiculous faces. maybe i have never seen jada smith in a movie and only know her from the tabloids, but she was the worst. i thought annette benning was like watching a bad diane keaton imitation. it was bad bad bad. not funny at all, not one chuckle. glad i was multi tasking while watching this.

My kids and I love Dora, and as soon as a new Dora DVD comes out I purchase it. I was extremely upset to learn that this DVD is just a bunch of old episodes recycled in different packaging. The first episode, “Pinto, the Pony Express” is the only episode we don’t already have on DVD. The other three Dora episodes are already on other DVDs. “A letter for Swiper” also appears in the “Big Sister Dora DVD.” “Choo Choo” also appears on the “We’re a Team!” DVD. And “Hic-Boom-Ohhh!” also appears on the “Animal Adventures” DVD.

After watching the Dora Super Babies and City of Lost Toys DVD’s countless times,we decided it was time to get a 3rd Dora DVD for our granddaughter to watch when she is at our house.She likes this one very much,especially the episode with Pinto the Pony.I would have given this 5 stars were it not for the fact that the episode Letter for Swiper is also on a different Dora DVD she has at home.With all the episodes to choose from,there is really no reason for repeats.And while this DVD lists for $19.99 on Amazon,we bought it for $12.86 at Wal Mart.

After a mission gone awry, Marine sniper Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) now leads a solitary existence in the mountains of Wyoming. When he is called back to assist a covert military group (headed by Danny Glover) in determining how to pull off an assasination attempt, he soon discovers that he’s been set up in an elaborate ruse to take the fall. Hell hath no fury like a Marine scorned, and Swagger becomes a PO’ed two-man army (once he hooks up with disgraced FBI agent Michael Pena), determined to bring the real culprits to justice. Directd by Antoine Fuqua (”Training Day”), this high octane conspiracy thriller just doesn’t let up and will keep the viewer guessing. Though it’s pretty violent - it’s well worth watching!

My only drawback was having to hear Glover’s dialogue - was it me or did he have some really ill-fitting dentures that provided him with the most annoying lisp. I was just waiting for them to fall out. Overall though, Glover has not given a more chilling performance since “Witness,” and Wahlberg who can also be pretty menacing, proves to be a great action hero.

The DVD extras include a great behind the scenes segment featuring the technical advisor, himself a former military sniper, who provides insight into that occupation as well as the weapons used in the movie.

I was all set to enjoy a good action film with a fine cast, and sure enough the film began that way. But very quickly after the main pivot point in the plot, the film spirals off into leftist paranoia and clumsy editorializing. A feeble attempt at relevance has the reverse effect of turning the film trite and cliched. The villains that might have been interesting, had they been presented with any depth, became cartoonish stereotypes, and the plot became increasingly ludicrous and muddled with the result that any admiration for the craft involved was completely subsumed by this simplistic and trivial sermonizing.

Too bad, because I like Mark Wahlburg and Fuqua has shown he has good chops in the action genre and can present complex characters ala Training Day. But if I needed another pretentious misrepresentation of facts, I need only access any number of mainstream media. No doubt there is a vast audience that will either ignore the op-ed message in the film or will eat-it-up. Sorry, I’m not interested in lame caricatures and simplistic conventional wisdom. Maybe 1/2 more star solely for the quality of the film-making despite the content. It’s not a horrible film, having some good moments before it descends into utter silliness. No, sadly, it’s a dumb film, that could have been much better, considering the talent involved.

Okay, so maybe I was too young to remember the nineteen seventies and era of the Modern York Cosmos soccer team. But, after seeing this movie I wish I had been around to glimpse the soccer extrazaganza that really was the Modern York Cosmos. This movie brilliantly captures everything of that time from the exact inception of the North American Soccer League to Pele’s arrival with the Cosmos. Indeed the fresh footage of Pele’s time in Novel York old-fashioned in the movie, is truly fabulous! Better unruffled is the amusing and triumphant saga of Cosmos owner Steve Ross’ determination to seize Pele’s signature over other fervent parties that included Juventus and Valid Madrid. This movie even goes one better with a amazing soundtrack which includes the likes of James Brown, The Supremes, Diana Ross, The Scrape and The Jackson Sisters. I would thoroughly recommend any soccer or general sports fan to check this movie out if not objective to seek and hear soccer greats Franz Beckenbauer and Carlos Alberto fondly steal their fantastic times they both experienced playing for the Modern York Cosmos.

In telling the record of the Cosmos, the producers of this film went beyond the fawning “those were the days” stories and went into the exact story: the infighting, the behind-the-scenes deals, and how the Cosmos brought the NASL into the spotlight, only to witness the NASL carve its fill throat through overexpansion and television deals that should never have been struck, bringing the Cosmos down with them.

MAD MEN is one of those series that is almost impossible to praise too highly. It is also one of those series that puts on point to the inherent superiority of television to the movies. That is a sentiment that I net offends many, but one that more and more thinking men and women are coming to embrace as television gradually turns out one amazingly sparkling series after another. Cinema is inherently petite on how grand an individual movie can attain in developing a complex chronicle fair as it is minute in how deeply it can stare character. The reason is obvious: a lack of time. Delving deeply into the lives of a group of characters is a luxury movies simply can’t afford. The clock is ticking.

MAD MEN will, when it is finished, be a yarn of the sixties. Season One begins in 1960k, shortly before the Kennedy-Nixon election. Season Two moves almost two years ahead of that. Subsequent seasons will go the chronicle ahead by a couple of years each time, before coming to an demolish at the extinguish of the decade. The sixties was clearly the most considerable decade of the twentieth century. The world of 1970 has more in favorite with today in many ways than it did to 1960. The changes in our attitudes can scarcely be assessed. At the beginning of the series women all have their area in the office as servants to the men, come by passively their roles as ogle candy and objects of sexual innuendo, and aspire to no more than inspiring up the secretarial immoral. A jubilant man in the office is so completely in the office that he seems oblivious to his homosexuality. But by the kill of decade would advance the Stonewall riots and the Second Wave of the women’s movement would be in chubby bloom.

One of the dominant themes of the demonstrate is the difference between the world of today and the world of “then.” One of the most striking moments in Season One comes when Betty Draper’s daughter runs into the living room wearing a body length plastic launderer’s bag. Betty sharply upbraids her, hoping that this doesn’t mean that her laundry is laying on the floor. To unique sensibility a child wearly a deadly plastic poor is monstrous. Or in a gradual season episode Don Draper allows his completely drunk boss to leave his house with a drink “for the road.” He merely smiles when he shouts, “That’s my car!” as Roger drunkenly tries to procure his hold. A pregnant woman at a party can be seen smoking while holding a martini glass. One of my accepted Indignant MEN scenes comes in Season Two, when after a picnic with his wife and kids, Don shakes the blanket they have all been sitting on, leaving the paper and trash on the ground. It all highlights some of the progress we have made in discipling some of our more indefensible behavior.

As others have illustrious, the note centers on several ad executives at the Sterling-Cooper advertising firm. In particular, the film focuses on Don Draper, a brilliantly creative ad exec who has been impartial as inventive in recreating himself as he has been in promoting the products of the firm’s clients. A serial adulterer, the child of a prostitute who died giving birth to him, and the son of an abusive father, he has had to pull himself from his humble origins to the top of his profession. All this while protecting his bear black secrets. Don Draper is a mammoth character, perhaps the most archetypal character to have arisen since Tony Soprano. And it provided the opportunity for overnight stardom for Jon Hamm, a previously only marginally successful actor who had mainly been renowned by a string of very microscopic parts on various TV series and dinky budget movies. But it is impossible to imagine anyone more perfect for this role than Hamm and series creator Matthew Weiner agreed after seeing his audition tapes. When the network insisted that Hamm be passed over for a more established actor, Weiner declared that without Hamm he was not willing to travel forward with the series. Weiner won and Hamm went on to accept a Golden Globe and an Emmy nomination (which he should have won) . As portrayed by Hamm, Don Draper is the complete embodiment of Thoreau’s individual who lives a life of smooth desperation. Draper is a world of contraditions. At times unscrupulous, he is also helpful of titanic magnanimity and suitable rectitude. A womanizer, he yearns for the ideal home.

The cast is stuffed with titanic characters and fantastic performances. I absolutely detested Vincent Kartheiser as Connor on the series ANGEL, though even then I suspected it was more the plot he was written than his performance. Though he isn’t asked to beget acts of audacious do on Indignant MEN, he is exceptional as Peter Campbell. Like Don Draper he alternates from petty, self-serving moments to acts of kindness and loyalty. He is advantageous of being wonderfully protective of Peggy Olson, a woman with whom he has had a couple of moments of physical intimacy, though he can also behave viciously towards her. John Slattery is outstanding as Roger Estimable, the number two man in the firm and the son of the Sterling-Cooper cofounder. Robert Morse, the mammoth Broadway musical star of the sixties (including HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING), plays Betram Cooper, the head of the firm. The almost unbearably exquisite January Jones (at one point in the season great is made of her resemblence to Grace Kelly, and she is resplendent enough to compose it not a humorous compliment) . Not to jump ahead to Season Two, Jones performance over the two seasons as Don Draper’s trophy wife Betty is noting short of radiant. Betty is someone who detests her life as a glowing manikin, but isn’t able to finish happiness because she doesn’t know who she wants to become. She also provides many of Season One’s immense moments, none better than when she starts killing the carrier pigeons of her next door neighbor with an air rifle (with cigarette dangling from her mouth) after he tells her children that he will extinguish their dog if they don’t support him out of his yard. The dazzling Christina Hendricks (who wears some padding to invent her figure more Rubenesque and who was fabulous in the recurring role of Saffron on the Sci-fi series FIREFLY) plays Joan Holloway, the office manager.

After Don Draper, however, my popular character on the demonstrate is Peggy Olson (Elizabeth Moss) . The series actually begins with Peggy’s first day as a Sterling-Cooper employee. Starting off as Don Draper’s secretary, she soon shows that she has skills as a writer, and soon becomes valued as a copy writer with a sensitivity for products that appeal to women. I’ve told friends that I contain that by the slay of the series Peggy will actually be the head of Sterling-Cooper. I deem the centrality of Peggy to the prove was shown partly by the point to commencing with her first day there and with her unprecedented penetration of the all male hierarchy of the corporation. Viewers may glance that she gains weight over the course of the year, especially during the last half. In fact Elizabeth Moss gained no weight. All changes were the result of very sophisticated produce up art and padded clothing.

MAD MEN is one of the most beautifully designed shows you’ll ever hope to explore. It may be surpassed by BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and PUSHING DAISIES in art beget, but no note on television rivals it in clothing. The notice of the exhibit is impeccable. If you don’t remember the sixties, you can relive them by watching this reveal.

This is a reveal that anyone serious about quality TV has to know well. I’ve watched Season One twice and notion on rewatching Season One and Two as soon as the latter has finished. Angry MEN is also an example of a unusual trend in television, a series that tells more or less a unified narrative over the course of its life. LOST and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA both are doing this as well. All are must-see shows.

Mad Men is one of the best shows I have ever had the pleasure of watching.

Watching this prove on blu-ray has been something I will remember for quite some time. I missed the current airing of the demonstrate when it came on, and I was looking forward to watching the blu-ray. Once I watched it I feel in appreciate.

As far as a blu-ray goes, this is perfect. The video is fantastic, same with the audio, and it is stuffed with extras, including over 18 hours in audio commentary. There is another extra that is 1 hour long that is VERY pleasant, and I recommend checking it out after you do watching the series.

I first saw this on PBS’s Mystery series a couple of years ago and loved it. I was able to tape two of the episodes on a declare, but I’m holding out hope (most likely in vain) for a DVD release. And Diana Rigg’s introductions on the Mystery version add lots of background and period information about some of the staunch people some of the characters resemble. I win that this comentary is not included on the VHS release (? ) .

Police Superintendent Albert Tyburn has left England and Scotland Yard for the East African colony of Kenya. He left under a cloud and rumours about why have followed him all the procedure to Nairobi. He’s to head up the newly created Criminal Investigations unit that pompous snob and windbag Police Commissioner Burkitt feels is entirely unnecessary. For Tyburn, “crime is crime” and people are people and his determination to treat the natives with respect along with his refusal to point to his “betters” first-rate deference is a continual irritant to his often lofty suspects. He’s also constantly irritating his wonderful, Burkitt who loathes Tyburn and tells him “you’re not one of us and you never will be” - for which Tyburn is eternally grateful! Trevor Eve is wonderful as Tyburn - gleaming, sexy, wry and sardonic he has no qualms about being unpopular as long as the criminals pay.

Then there’s aviatrix Emma Fitzgerald (played by the terrific Susannah Harker) an independent woman on the fringe of “polite society” who pilots her contain plane for safaris and supply runs. She and Tyburn meet when her sister is murdered in episode one. Their mutual respect and friendship evolves into one of the most understated (but sweet) romances I’ve ever seen!

Great, tight stories, an authentic period atmosphere and extraordinary supporting characters in Dr Mueller, Inspector Valentine, Corporal Karendi, Governor Rex Willoughby, decadent party-boy Chico DeVille and the sleazy and villainous Max Van der Vuerst all add up to lustrous and delightful viewing. Highly recommended!

I’ve watched this three-tape series at least three times since purchasing it a few months ago and I unbiased can’t net enough of it! From the music secure, scenery and characters to the selection of actors, props and locations, this is a thoroughly appetizing British mystery series. Trevor Eve as Superintendent Tyburn and Michael Byrne as Commissioner Burkitt, to say nothing of Susannah Harker as Emma Fitzgerald, are outstanding as ancient mystery characters. It’s a shame that Carlton TV did not gain a follow on reprisal to this spellbinding examine at Nairobi in 1931. I highly recommend “Heat of the Sun” to anyone who seeks to curl up on a chilly winter evening for a pleasurable detective narrative.
