Picture and sound qualities are everything I wanted in an Hi Def camcorder. I've played video back on my 48" Bravia LCD widescreen with quality comparable (and better in some cases) to the picture from the Hi Def broadcasts via Dish Network. I like the menu (more user friendly than the DV cameras I've previously owned) and the ability to move through the menus using the touch-scree...

This Movie is a pleasant visceral experience, but without the newness and surprise that made the original great. Action scenes are rehashed - bigger, faster, longer wire-fu with more props and more players... CGI players, including an interest-killing very unhuman looking CGI-Keanu. The middle of the film really drags, with three major overextended fight sequences, an *interminable* but involvi...

The climax of the Matrix trilogy brings it all home in true mythic fashion. The war against the machines becomes gritty, brutal and real. Sacrifices are made. The fate of the human race rests in the hands of a single champion and the climactic battle between Smith and Neo has never been equaled in any superhero movie (which is what the series ultimately is). Really the second half of the second...

Futurama is the best adult animated "cartoon." If you are someone like me, who understands sarchasm and can apreciate a different form of human than the norm, then futurama is for you! I love Futurama. In fact, I wished they had not cancelled it so soon. The series, in my opinion, was still at it's prime and I think it had a lot to offer.  If you are a fan you probably alread...

This is one of my favorite movies, and is right up there with "Shaun of the Dead". "Hot Fuzz" starts off as a who-dun-it picture/ comedy and by the last thirty minutes becomes an all-out, non-stop action-packed finale. With all of this flying at us, director Edgar Wright never loses focus of the storytelling portion, while Pegg and Frost are the best comedy duo that I've...

This is the best movie I have seen in a while. It’s a comedy/horror film that does not rely on spoofing other zombie movies to get laughs. And you don’t really need to have seen any zombie movie ever to enjoy this film. Shaun of the Dead is basically a generic zombie movie at heart. But the way they deal with it is totally different than a straightforward zombie movie. What makes Sh...

Don’t forget to suspend disbelief. This film is about a thinking, feeling, individual's quest for self-fulfillment. Face it: everyone wants a sense of purpose. Fight Club uses violent, and almost sickening imagery to convey the struggle one may go through to sort through society’s standards in quest of both inner peace and freedom in an increasingly materialistic world. Traditio...

This is almost certainly one of my favorite all-time movies, after only one viewing. Perhaps those that don't like the film have never experienced a passion of the sense of smell--or an unquenchable passion for the opposite gender (or the same gender, if that's your cup of tea), or the sad, lonely feeling that you are different from everyone else, that no one could understand you. I, fo...

Sci-Fi fans will love this. Straight from the creator of the Simpsons, Futurama has the same off-beat humor but with less restraint. This show ranks as my all time favortive show in history. Sci-Fi, comedy and cool robots... my dream come true. It's well thought out, creative and fun to follow. Compared to anything, Futurama has a downright amazing script. Not only that but the characters a...

Futurama Season 2 shows the same wit and energy as Season 1, but the plots and the obscure jokes are even more sophisticated. Familiar characters reappear and a universe is being built. The commentaries are quite good and the deleted scenes are nice and being able to stop the DVD and zoom in to see the signs or watch the nifty animation at slow motion is great.   Futurama hits it fiv...

Perhaps the best season of Futurama and last volume(so far.) This set features some of the best episodes of the entire series as well as exellent commentary and deleted scenes. The episode Jurassic Bark will tug at your heart strings. Especially if you've ever had or currently have a dog or some other loving pet. Where No Fan Has Gone Before is a funny episode guest starring our favorite En...

One of my favorite movies of all time and a great and intelligent parody/homage to the British super spy movies. There's a lot more here than just juvenile sex jokes, although there is certainly a lot of those, too. Austin Powers is brought out of cryogenic storage to defend the world against Dr. Evil. Both have been gone for quite some time and are equally out of the loop in the late 90...

In the first Austin Powers movie, the main character has to go through emotional changes which helped to raise the comedy and character to another level. That's what's great about it. For the second movie, all of that is just gleefully thrown out the window. There is little to no further development of these characters until the third Austin Powers movie. So, watch the second one for th...

"Goldmember" is a successful rehash of what worked in the first two "Austin Powers" movies. Mike Myers broadens the slapstick even more this time around. Everything from rap videos to truck drivers is prime to be targeted. And "Goldmember" is the type of movie that will do anything for a laugh, throwing a LOT of jokes your way. If your sense of humor doesn't ca...

Not a lie or exaggeration. "The Naked Gun" is my favorite comedy. There are plenty of these kinds of comedies and a lot of them star Leslie Neilsen but none of them can touch the number of laughs that this movie reaches. The fact that not one gag falls flat, not one throw-away line isn't funny, and this being the first film and only film to use OJ Simpson properly, makes "The...

After being on hiatus for over two years, Futurama finally returns in the form of a straight-to-DVD movie. All the original voice actors return to reprise their roles and the animation is on par with the latest season of Futurama which last aired in 2003. Even if you're new to Futurama, the story is easy (yet complicated enough) for anyone to follow and really brings the franchise to a new ...

Drawn Together is a show you either love or hate. The humor is tasteless and shocking, but the whole point is to lampoon everything held sacred by just about every group in this country. The animation is very good, with each character representing a particular style from the 1920s through to the current crop of Japanese animation. Each one stays true to type, with the Disney-esque Clara belting...

If you liked the 1st season of Drawn Together definately see the 2nd season. This is satire to the extreme. Pushing the bounderies is not a problem for this show. They not only go over the line, they go under it, build bridges across it and sometimes jump up and down on it. There is bound to be something here guaranteed to make you cringe, but it's all Very Funny. Some interesting commentar...

House is not strictly a drama or comedy, it somehow straddles the line and becomes a new genre on its own. Each episode is a carefully crafted puzzle in which Dr. House and the three talented doctors he hires, tries to untangle uncanny medical mysteries. I have never seen an episode where I could with-out a doubt guess the diagnosis. The episode always keeps you guessing and the character Dr. H...

One of the best shows out there. You should definitely see this. Season 1 was great. Season 2 is just as great, if not better. House is charcter driven, the plots tend to be formulaic, but the intensity of the actors and thier interactions makes the show very watchable. House is a witty sarcstic drama/comedy that really makes you think. Hugh Laurie, who is better knowm for his comedy turns, pro...
