ER: The Complete Tenth Season

starring: Noah Wyle, Laura Innes, Mekhi Phifer, Alex Kingston, Goran Visnjic

January 28, 2008
Its difficult to be objective about this series especially after 9 years. Assuming you've watched from the beginning then you've seen tragedy, joy and humour within the ER of County General.

However that said this series is in comparison maybe not as strong as it could have been wheh compared to earlier seasons but it still has many outstanding moments and episodes.

Without a doubt though this season contains one of the best ER episodes of all time which is episode 2 "The Lost" which sees Carter return to the Congo to search for the body of Kovac who has been reportedly killed by Congolese Militia (Kovac's point of view is seen via flashbacks)
Not suprising the episode received an emmy nomination for the directing. ... Read More:

ER: The Complete Ninth Season

starring: Noah Wyle, Laura Innes, Mekhi Phifer, Alex Kingston, Goran Visnjic

October 29, 2007
Whilst being seen as the beginning of the end as such, season 9 is still in no way inferior television. It begins very fast paced, and you actually feel sorry for Romano, who shines this season as a well acted but also very funny character. Abby's family problems are once again a major part of the season, no bad thing as Sally Field is excellent as usual. Mekhi Phifer really fits in well, and I have to admit that Carter's acting skill has definitely improved. To the point where I enjoyed his performances.
And I strangely like Susan Lewis. Her latter storyline is a bit weird, but overall she was very good. And there was a fire this season, at Doc Magoo's, ensuring my 'one fire a season' theory remains in place.
I suggest you buy it. No ... Read More:

ER: The Complete Eighth Season

starring: Anthony Edwards, Noah Wyle, Laura Innes, Alex Kingston, Paul McCrane

July 16, 2007
Compared to the most recent series, watching this DVD boxset really reminds me of how good ER used to be. Whilst now they rely on big stunts and guest stars there are some amazingly simple and subtle episodes in this series where the writing and the acting really just blow you away.
Points that really stick out for me are Abby's assualt, Elizabeth and Romano discussing Mark after they find out he is gong to die, Carter reading a letter from Mark to the rest of the ER and the fabulous Breakfast Club inspired episode 'Secrets and Lies.'
I think this is the series where you fall in love with Abby and the year that cements her as a classic ER character and I defy anyone not to shed a tear during Mark's illness. This is a series which will make you ... Read More:

ER: The Complete Seventh Season

starring: Anthony Edwards, Noah Wyle, Laura Innes, Alex Kingston, Paul McCrane

September 18, 2006
One of my friends recommended ER to me, and as I saw this for an extremely cheap price in the shop I thought; go for it. And I was very glad that I did.
ER season 7 I found absolutely amazing. I had lots of fun spotting the guest stars and what other shows they recurred on, and in season 7 there are lots to spot. Wentworth Miller is in the first episode at some point. Very interesting.
The acting talent has improved dramatically from season 6. With the exception of Carter, whom I'm almost 100% sure has the range of an egg. Nevertheless, this does not distract from what promises to be, and lives up to its expectations of one of the best seasons. Three characters from the first season still remain, Drs. Green, Carter and Benton. Dr. Green ... Read More:

Practical Magic [1999]

starring: Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, Stockard Channing, Dianne Wiest, Goran Visnjic
directed by: Griffin Dunne

July 19, 1999
The story line is loosely based on a book by Alice Hoffman. It is more of the screen play by Robin Swicord who also did the screen play for "Matilda" (1996).

Sisters Sally Owens (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian Owens (Nicole Kidman) are brought up by their maiden aunts after their parents died. They learn of magic and its pluses and minuses by observing their aunts from a distance. They also have to overcome (if possible) the family curse that the gentlemen in their lives are distending to meat an early demise. One highlight of the movie is when we find that the other women in the village really did not distain the Owens's; is just that they have not been invited to help.

The story deviates from the book in the since that they do not even try ... Read More:

Elektra [2005]

starring: Jennifer Garner, Terence Stamp, Will Yun Lee, Goran Visnjic, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa
directed by: Rob Bowman

May 30, 2005
Jennifer Garner reprises and expands her role from Daredevil as as assassin for hire who becomes protector of a girl (with a secret) and her father. It's better than I was expecting from it's largely risible reviews. In fact, I was pretty much entertained throughout. It looks good and doesn't outstay it's welcome but the best thing about it is Jennifer Garner, who can kick my ass any day. I'm an Alias fan and thought 13 Going On 30 was way underrated, so I shouldn't have been suprised that her presence would elevate this film in my eyes. Without her it would have been 2/5, but with her it's a 3.

Spartacus [2004]

starring: Goran Visnjic, Alan Bates, Angus Macfadyen, Rhona Mitra, Ian McNeice

October 25, 2004
2004 mini-series Spartacus is certainly a good-looking production, with a vividly recreated Rome and visually impressive direction from Robert Dornhelm, but never quite clicks. Rather than going back completely to history, this is based on Howard Fast's novel that formed the basis of the Kirk Douglas-Stanley Kubrick film, so rather than the roaming band of looters sacking small towns that were ultimately defeated because of a fatally divided command (Spartacus could never get his Germanic troops to follow his strategy) you have another allegory about the thirst for freedom from tyranny. In reality Spartacus had plenty of opportunities to escape from the Empire but passed them up in favor of more pillaging. To be fair the miniseries does attempt to address this, as well ... Read More:
