Iron Man (Ultimate Two-Disc Edition) [Blu-ray]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Drama
starring: Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow

September 30, 2008
Alright, I am not here to take you through a step by step synopsis of the movie. I have been reading Marvel comics for as long as I remember and have basically experienced the rise and fall of their illustrious movie career. I lost faith after Spidey 3 and Ghost Rider and when I heard Iron Man was coming out I nearly hung myself. I watched it last night and I nearly cried for Marvel has redeemed itself finally. The movie was awesome, the dialog was snappy and the fact that they did not concentrate on the armor was excellent also. And when they mentioned S.H.I.E.L.D at the end, I jumped for joy because Marvel finally incorporated another part of their universe into one of their movies. Now my faith in Marvel has been restored and you know what, ... Read More:

Smallville - The Complete Seventh Season

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Drama
starring: Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum, Kristin Kreuk, Erica Durance, Allison Mack

Not really. It was another good season with several really good shows, but overall, your still left waiting for that big moment. Gained one main character, lost two others. I'm beginning to wonder if this version of superman ever actually becomes superman.
If your a fan of the series, you have to get it, but keep your expectations grounded and you will be fine.

House, M.D. - Season Four

Don't start watching this series unless you want to get addicted. The actors are wonderful, the scripts are incredible and the plot is hard to guess. Can't think of a show I have enjoyed more.

Dexter - The Complete Second Season

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Drama
starring: Michael C. Hall

August 19, 2008
If you liked Dexter: Season 1, you will love the second season. More killing of killers and bad people is what Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) is all about. All the while, he has to live a "normal" life with his girlfriend, Rita (Julie Benz). But the introduction of a new seductress by the name of Lila (Jaime Murray) and the ever-present Sargeant Doakes (Erik King) will keep Dexter on his toes from the very first episode of the season. Debra (Jennifer Carpenter), Dexter's sarcastic, swearing, fellow-cop coworking sister will make anybody laugh. Dexter: Season 2 is well worth your time to watch, and is a worthy addition to anybody's DVD collection!

Brothers and Sisters - The Complete Second Season

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Drama
starring: Calista Flockhart, Sally Field, Rachel Griffiths, Rob Lowe
directed by: n/a

September 23, 2008
Brothers & Sisters Season Two is listed as having a Run Time of "1 minutes" as I write this review; this is clearly wrong. (The Season One DVD set is listed as having a Run Time of 988 minutes.)

Season One had 23 episodes. Season Two had only 16 due to the writers' strike. The Season One collection was on 6 discs. Season Two is on 5 discs. There's no advance information about what extras they added to the Season Two set, but logically you'd expect the price to be about 2/3 of that of Season One. That's not the case.

I won't go into details about the Season Two plot lines involving the faux Walker sibling; others can cover that. But based only on the amount of content versus the price of the set, I've got to say I'm disappointed.

Boston Legal: Season Four

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Drama
starring: Boston Legal

I was heading to Kuwait when this season started, so I only got to see the second episode before I left, and I was freaked out that Brad Chase was the A.D.A. now, Paul Lewiston was gone, and replaced by Carl Sack played by John Larroquette. So I honestly wasn't planning on buying this right away. But being over here, in the Army with nothing really to do except go to work, and pretend I'm not here, I picked it up. Well I really couldn't resist because William Shatner is my biggest hero, and I love the character of Denny Crane.

Watching this season from the beginning to end I realized this show was a lot better than I had expected, in fact better than season three, which kind of left me wanting a little bit more. Season Four brings back a lot of characters ... Read More:

Desperate Housewives: The Complete Fourth Season

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Drama
starring: Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, Eva Longoria Parker, Ricardo Chavira

September 02, 2008
I collect this series on Dvd rather than watch each episode on tv. This gives the story much more continuity and helps keep the story fresh in your mind.
I find this series to be so well written, blending comedy with mystery and intrigue, that you find yourself laughing at the one liners as much as guessing at the series subplots. The fourth season doesn't disappoint. It maintains the high quality of story line and dialogue that has made this series a winner for a long time. New characters and story lines are seemlessly introduced and absorbed into the Wysteria hysteria with a blend of mystery, seasoned with a dash of humor. There's always a synister mystery brewing under the madcap lives of these truely desperate, but lovable women. It reminds me a little ... Read More:
