Wall-E

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: Ben Burtt, Jeff Garlin, Fred Willard, Elissa Knight, John Ratzenberger
directed by: Andrew Stanton

Wall*E - the new animated movie from those genuises at Pixar - you had me at hello. Seriously, from the first moment I saw a trailer for this, I knew my family & I had to see it. This is an EXCELLENT movie in every single way. Wonderfully positive messages for all of us are laced throughout the movie, which is something I greatly value in these types of movies, plus it's just a fantastic movie to watch for entertainment purposes.

This movie has so much heart, I still feel Wall*E's hold on my heartstrings, I think it's permanent, and that is lovely. It is an interesting & topical story to start off with, a clear message on our environmental footprint and what the future could hold should our behaviors go unchecked. It is ... Read More:

Doctor Who: The Complete Fourth Series

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: David Tennant, Catherine Tate

November 18, 2008
What can I say? Doctor Who is the greatest series of all time!! My wife started watching it when Tom Baker was the Doctor and she kept telling me about this show I just had to watch so we rented the new season with Christopher Eccleston and the rest is history! Another Who fan is born or regenerated, whatever. I would recommend this series for anyone. Whether they watched the old ones or never even watched it at all. They do an awesome job on the story lines, the special effects and even of picking the right characters. It seems like your favorite character leaves and they bring in a new one and you are like "Okay this person is just as likeable as the last" so you don't really mind the switching off.....Course I really like David Tennant and lets ...

Lost - The Complete Fourth Season

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: Lost
directed by: n/a

December 09, 2008
So long as you own a blu-ray dvd player or a playstation, you need not waste money on blu-ray movies. I repeat, you need not waste money on blu-ray movies so long as you own a blu-ray dvd player. There is NO difference in picture quality between a regular dvd and a blu-ray dvd when played on a blue ray dvd player or on a playstation. However, they is a major difference in picture quality when comparing regular DVD's played on standard DVD players and blu-ray movies played on blu-ray players.
Such is the case w/ Lost season 4. Why pay double the price for Blu-ray? If you already own a blu-ray DVD player or a playstation, don't bother w/ the blu-ray version. That's because blu-ray players UPGRADE regular DVDs to the point that they look imperceptibly ... Read More:

Alien Quadrilogy (Alien/ Aliens /Alien 3 /Alien Resurrection)

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: Sigourney Weaver, Carrie Henn, Michael Biehn, Lance Henriksen, Paul Reiser
directed by: James Cameron, David Fincher, Ridley Scott

December 02, 2003
For a very long time, I had put off purchasing any of the "Alien" movies on video because it always seemed like some change was taking place that would be an improvement over my purchase. Once the DVD format became popular, it seemed there were at least two different editions of any "Alien" movie available at any given time.

Then one of my brothers spotted this HUGE (9-disc) boxed set of the four movies, knew I would appreciate it, and sent me a link to Amazon's page for it. This is what I'd been waiting for, it seems! Each film is presented in widescreen format in both its original theatrical version and in an alternate version, there are audio commentary tracks, and there are "making of" videos with all kinds of behind-the-scenes footage.

South Park: The Complete Eleventh Season

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: South Park

August 12, 2008
Does anyone remember Jesus and Santa singing Rio together? I told my friends that South Park was done after that because you just can't get better. Ever year since then I have been proved wrong. South Park has become quite possibly the best show on television. This season's Imagination Land was just awesome! Bringing back Man-Bear-Pig was great! I laughed numerous times throughout each episode during this season! Definitely recommended!

Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: David Attenborough

April 24, 2007
Planet Earth

We rented this entire series, hoping that it would be a hit like Life of Mammals or Blue Planet. It isn't. We hoped that it would be an ecosystem or geological approach to the planet because it is, after all, called Planet Earth and the programs are called Fresh Water, Mountains, etc. It isn't. Instead, it is an eclectic collection of camerawork taken from various locations around the planet showing unusual geological formations (10%), weather occurrences (10%), and life at the extremes (10%). The rest is pure cinematography and focuses on the camera crew and how they got the shots. Needless to say, we were disappointed.

What we hated:
-a lot of jumping around from location to location with no logical organization
-a lot of ... Read More:
